Episode 22 recap: Lin Xi found the mole.
Tan Sha Sha's mother wanted Lin Xi to help her cousin solve the problem this time. Lin Xi was very unhappy when she heard her talking. She even said that Tan Sha Sha was her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, which made Lin Xi feel very upset. Feeling down, Lin Xi called her father, who had also seen the news, and he told her that regardless of the outcome, she could come home and he would take care of her.
After returning to the company, Lin Xi continued to investigate the matter. First, she confirmed that the price list was not forged, but no one had received the email, and now there were more and more comments on the internet. It posed a threat to the company's interests, so Lin Xi thought a statement should be issued first.
Both Tan Sha Sha and Lin Xi received calls to go back home. Lin Xi said she had already prepared what she wanted to say. She also said that if she had to take responsibility for this matter, her grandfather must apologize to her mother over the phone. Her grandfather was very angry, and Lin Xi prepared to leave. Tan Sha Sha's mother pleaded with Lin Xi, but Tan Sha Sha didn't want Lin Xi to bear any blame since she was not responsible. At this moment, their grandfather was still angry and talking about past events.
He stated that he would not interfere with the punishment Zhang (the boss) decided for any of them, and he would accept whoever's decision it was. After Tan Sha Sha came out, she apologized to Lin Xi and said she didn't know her mother would do such a thing. Lin Xi wasn't angry and actually thought Tan Sha Sha was quite innocent.
That evening, Lin Xi heard Xiao Yi Cheng making phone calls to help her solve the problem, which made her very grateful. But she felt that the situation wasn't that difficult. Lin Xi suddenly wanted to hug Xiao Yi Cheng and quickly ran to Xiao Yi Cheng's house.
When Zhang arrived at the company for the meeting, he was very angry because the client they had maintained for ten years suddenly fell apart. Lin Xi was also scolded harshly by her boss and was told to stop all her tasks and hand them over to other colleagues. Lin Xi also told her subordinates to take a good rest, but just as she was about to leave the company, a large group of reporters suddenly came chasing after her. Among them were high school classmates who liked Xiao Yi Cheng. At that moment, Xiao Yi Cheng went up and took the microphone, and he took Lin Xi away.
Lin Xi told Xiao Yi Cheng that he didn't have to accompany her specially, and running away wasn't her style. Xiao Yi Cheng didn't comfort her much, but asked her to have lunch together. Tan Sha Sha and Wei Tian were also planning to go out for a meal, and Tan Sha Sha was worried that her stomach would cause a lot of trouble again.
Xiao Yi Cheng took Lin Xi to buy a string of sugar-coated haws, and the old lady, recognizing them as regular customers, specially gave them another string. Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Yi Cheng proposed to Lin Xi, and Lin Xi jokingly said that if she ever stopped being a translator, she would open a sugar-coated haw shop.
The two of them then went for a walk by the seaside. Suddenly, Lin Xi remembered something Xiao Yi Cheng had said and realized there might be a mole. She returned to the company and informed Mr. Zhang, explaining that she needed three more days to find the mole, or else she would resign. Mr. Zhang agreed to the request.
Lin Xi initially asked the technical department for assistance in the investigation, but they were overloaded with work and could only postpone it for a week. So Lin Xi had to approach an employee from the technical department directly and hoped he could help. Chen Xiao, after receiving a lawyer's letter from Xiao Yi Cheng, was furious. She believed that she only spoke the truth and Xiao Yi Cheng said he wouldn't allow anyone to defame Lin Xi, whether it was eight years ago or now. Lin Xi's position in his heart had never changed.
Soon, they discovered traces of deleted emails on Lin Xi's computer, and during that time period, she was indeed absent. Someone admitted to deleting the emails but didn't remember who did it. Lin Xi requested to investigate the surveillance footage from that day and forgot who deleted the emails from her computer. Xiao Yi Cheng noticed that his colleagues were reluctant to work overtime and review the surveillance footage, so he went out and talked to them, convincing them to restore the surveillance as soon as possible.
Before noon the next day, Lin Xi saw the recovered surveillance footage and was shocked to discover that it was her most trusted subordinate who deleted the emails. Lin Xi had a hard time accepting it and decided to visit the subordinate's home. She went to Chen Wen's rented house, and the two had a serious conversation. Chen Wen denied being threatened by anyone.
Chen Wen vented his resentment, feeling that he was scolded by the boss for minor mistakes. Lin Xi explained that the reason she kept Chen Wen was that she saw herself in him. Chen Wen continued to express his dissatisfaction.
In that case, Lin Xi told Chen Wen to voluntarily submit his resignation, otherwise he shouldn't expect to stay in the industry in the future.
