Episode 22 recap: Pei Ruolin urged Liao Yuncheng to dismiss Tong Nian.

Regarding the replacement of Tong Nian with Liao Yuncheng, Liao Yuncheng said he could simply sleep on the sofa. Tong Nian felt it was quite embarrassing, and Liao Yuncheng asked if Tong Nian wanted to join him. Tong Nian hurriedly went to bed first. The next day, Liao Yuncheng made breakfast for Tong Nian. Over here, Tong Nian saw on the television news that the Minister of the Production Department had been taken away for investigation due to corruption and bribery.

Tong Nian was very happy to see this. The Minister of the Production Department was finally being punished. Pei Ruolin mentioned this matter to Liao Yuncheng and felt that although the board of directors had already decided to dismiss the Minister of the Production Department, Tong Nian's involvement had caused a lot of discussions. If they continued to let her stay in the project team, the board of directors might use this as an excuse to make things difficult for Liao Yuncheng. It wasn't easy for Liao Yuncheng to take on this project, so Pei Ruolin suggested that he dismiss Tong Nian and prevent her from affecting him.

Tong Nian originally came to find Liao Yuncheng for something and happened to overhear the conversation outside. Pei Ruolin noticed Tong Nian and suggested that she resign on her own, to avoid causing trouble for Liao Yuncheng. Liao Yuncheng expressed that Pei Ruolin was interfering too much. Liao Yuncheng approached Tong Nian and explained that he had invited her to join the project team because he recognized her abilities, and he would handle this matter properly without it affecting Tong Nian.

After Tong Nian returned, she discussed this matter with Dong Qiu Fen.
