Episode 6 recap: Tang Xin resigned.
Tang Yu really wanted to restore his relationship with Tang Xin to how it was before. After much thought, he sent her a message asking what she was doing. Tang Xin saw the message but didn't want to be someone who responded right away, so she chose to ignore it and continued focusing on her work. Unknowingly, she became tired and fell asleep, which is why Tang Yu didn't receive a response.
Tang Xin has already completed her work on the "Bailu Wei Shuang" drama set. The director felt that there was no need for the screenwriter to continue following up. Tang Xin submitted an application to leave the team to General Manager Chen. When this matter was reported to Tang Yu, he assumed that Tang Xin wanted to leave the company, so there were many sarcastic remarks. As a result, Tang Xin decided to simply resign.
Afterwards, both Tang Yu and Tang Xin regretted their actions, but neither of them backed down. Tang Yu was in a bad mood, and Gao Heng ended up suffering. Either Gao Heng was criticized for low work efficiency or for not being attentive enough. Even the plants in the office turned slightly yellow, but Tang Yu didn't care. In the blink of an eye, Gao Heng's efficiency salary for the next month was completely deducted.
Gao Heng quickly pleaded for forgiveness, as his performance for the next ten years would be at stake. Tang Yu realized that he had indeed gone a bit too far and decided to keep quiet. Tonight, there was a classmate gathering, and Huo Chen Dong specifically notified Tang Yu to attend. Tang Yu was initially the center of attention, surrounded by classmates, but as soon as Lu Zhi Xing arrived, everyone flocked to him. This made Tang Yu feel a little unhappy, especially since Tang Xin was taken away by Lu Zhi Xing, which made Tang Yu even angrier.
Sensing the tension, Huo Chen Dong quickly ushered everyone to their seats and ordered food. Tang Yu and Lu Zhi Xing locked eyes and simultaneously reached for the teapot on the table. Lu Zhi Xing got it first and poured a cup for himself, but he ignored the tea cup extended by Tang Yu, mocking him for being accustomed to treating everyone around him as assistants just because he was the boss.
Naturally, Tang Yu refused to be taken advantage of and mocked his old classmate for not even pouring a cup of tea. Seeing the situation wasn't good, Huo Chen Dong quickly intervened and subtly hinted that Tang Yu had finally found someone he liked, asking Lu Zhi Xing to give in a little. However, this was also something that Lu Zhi Xing liked, and he firmly refused to back down. This angered Tang Yu, who stood up and left. Classmates began speculating about the reason for Tang Yu's departure.
Early in the morning, Tang Xin received Lu Zhi Xing's contract. After she read it and found no issues, she signed it directly. Tang Xin was extremely excited and overjoyed to learn that Lu Zhi Xing invited her to join the screenwriting team. She couldn't help but share her happiness with Huo Chen Dong.
Huo Chen Dong noticed that Tang Xin hadn't come to the company for the past few days, and there were rumors online about her collaboration with Lu Zhi Xing. He went to ask Tang Yu about it.
Tang Xin happened to press the elevator button and hesitantly walked in, standing next to Huo Chen Dong. Sensing the cold atmosphere from Tang Yu, Huo Chen Dong quickly took a step back and teasingly mentioned Tang Xin's collaboration with Lu Zhi Xing, hoping Tang Xin would take a look at her boss, Tang Yu, who was right in front of her. Tang Xin had already made up her mind to work with Lu Zhi Xing, so she casually said that she was just "reaching for higher opportunities," which made Tang Yu feel uncomfortable. As a result, Tang Yu caught up with Tang Xin and offered generous terms, willing to personally be her producer for the project "Dreaming for You." However, Tang Xin declined, stating that Lu Zhi Xing was the one who truly loved this project, so she chose him.
Tang Ding Ding saw Tang Xin's interaction with Lu Zhi Xing and, in support of Tang Xin's book, ordered a thousand copies as giveaways for fans. Tang Xin expressed her gratitude, and Tang Ding Ding took the opportunity to inquire why Tang Xin had fallen out with Tang Yu.
Tang Yu remembered Tang Xin's rejection and realized that he had never even read the book she had given him. He searched for it and found it covered in thick dust. After cleaning it, he opened it and saw the message Tang Xin had written for him. It was then that he understood that Tang Xin had feelings for him all along, but it was his neglect that led to all the absurd situations. Although he could have formed a project team and retained Tang Xin until the contract expired, he didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so he didn't take that route.
Tang Xin specifically came to resign to Tang Yu. Tang Yu didn't want to accept the resignation letter, so Tang Xin left it on the table and intended to leave. Tang Yu grabbed Tang Xin's hand, urging her not to resign. He offered to let her go out and work on the project, and she could come back after it was finished. However, Tang Xin insisted on leaving, not liking the awkwardness between them.
Tang Yu became anxious and tightly held onto Tang Xin's hand, unintentionally causing her pain. He had to let go and wanted to know what Tang Xin really liked about him. Tang Xin firmly stated that she only liked his money and face. Tang Yu felt that he didn't need to persist anymore and loosened his grip on the door, allowing Tang Xin to leave.
To be honest, it's logical for the male lead not to agree. Your confession was so shallow, who would dare to accept it? Even if I really liked you, I wouldn't dare to agree. You only care about looks and money. What if I stop liking you in the future?
Why must the girl initiate and be obligated to accept? I've confessed to guys and been rejected too, but I still don't agree with the shallow way the female lead confessed. You've been silently in love for four years, and your confession was so hasty.
Must you be stubborn? What are you trying to prove?
