Episode 5 recap: Xiao Yi Cheng defended Lin Xi at the party.
Xiao Yi Cheng defended Lin Xi at the party.Xiao Yi Cheng was still working overtime at the company in the morning when a classmate invited him to a class gathering. Just as Xiao Yi Cheng was about to ask Lin Xi if she would go, Tong Xin hurriedly approached and informed them that the largest shareholder suddenly wanted to withdraw their investment.
Xiao Yi Cheng quickly went to find the other party to inquire about the situation. After all, such a major shareholder's withdrawal would be a significant blow to the company. Xiao Yi Cheng rushed to find the shareholder, but the shareholder, Danny, didn't want to talk to him. Xiao Yi Cheng stood by and waited. Then he directly placed the contract documents in front of Danny and said he only needed five minutes. When Danny saw it was a shareholder agreement, he still went over. In fact, Xiao Yi Cheng had already learned that the reason Danny wanted to withdraw his investment was that he had lost a lot of money in Macau, but he hoped that Danny wouldn't tell anyone about it for now.
Now with no investors, Xiao Yi Cheng's company could only sustain itself for two more months. Wei Tian quickly informed Lin Xi about the situation. Lin Xi appeared indifferent on the surface, but deep down she was somewhat worried because she still cared about Xiao Yi Cheng. Xiao Yi Cheng walked on the street, feeling uncertain about how much longer he could hold on. He arrived at the university student center and saw some students recommending artificial intelligence. He immediately invested 1800 yuan in the other party. Xiao Yi Cheng went to the noodle shop they often frequented, and Lin Xi intentionally posted on her Moments that she was going to attend the class gathering. Xiao Yi Cheng liked the post. Tong Xin went to work in the morning and learned that there was a mysterious guest in the office. It turned out to be a director from the Asia-Pacific company who had also heard about Danny's withdrawal. This time, they wanted to acquire Xiao Yi Cheng's company. Xiao Yi Cheng was very reluctant, but in the current situation, there didn't seem to be any solution.
Now Xiao Yi Cheng was truly facing a problem. The immediate solution was to update the machine as soon as possible to increase their product sales. Xiao Yi Cheng didn't even mention the withdrawal of investment at the company and encouraged his colleagues to stay motivated. Xiao Yi Cheng saw his company in crisis and even planned to sell his house. Cheng Yao originally thought Lin Xi would come to discuss work with him, but it was only Lin Xi's assistant who arrived, leaving Cheng Yao somewhat disappointed.
Cheng Yao took the opportunity to message Lin Xi, but Lin Xi directly called Cheng Yao instead. However, Lin Xi was busy with a meeting and hung up the phone.
Lin Xi had originally intended for her assistant to help Cheng Yao, but Cheng Yao refused directly. Cheng Yao received a call from his aunt asking him to go over, and it turned out that Lin Xi had been staying at his grandmother's house all along. Cheng Yao was about to leave when he saw familiar high heels. After inquiring, he found out they belonged to Lin Xi. So, taking advantage of the fact that there was an empty room at home, he planned to move in and have more opportunities to interact with Lin Xi.
Tan Sha Sha saw that Lin Xi had removed her from a project list and confronted her about it. Lin Xi didn't have time to explain and ended up bringing her to the banquet. As Lin Xi had work to attend to, Tan Sha Sha was left alone at the banquet.
Xiao Yi Cheng had initially thought that Lin Xi would come to the class gathering today, but he learned from Wei Tian that Lin Xi couldn't make it due to other commitments. Xiao Yi Cheng felt a bit disappointed. Everyone was still joking about Xiao Yi Cheng's past with Lin Xi, and Wei Tian purposely mentioned that Xiao Yi Cheng had a family, but Xiao Yi Cheng clarified that he was single.
In fact, this gathering was intentionally set up by Lao Chen to trick Lin Xi into coming under the pretext of work, but Lin Xi still didn't come. Everyone was still discussing the incident when Lin Xi dumped Xiao Yi Cheng, but only Wei Tian knew the truth. Wei Tian didn't dare to reveal it, so he defended Lin Xi.
After finishing her work, Lin Xi saw that Tan Sha Sha was still eating. Sun Zong happened to come over to greet them. When it came time to drink, Tan Sha Sha refused, and Lin Xi helped defuse the situation. However, the other party wouldn't let Lin Xi off the hook and made her drink whiskey. Lin Xi had no choice but to drink three glasses.
In fact, Sun Zong intentionally made Lin Xi drink to vent his frustration. Lin Xi tried to reason with Tan Sha Sha, who believed that she only needed to focus on her own job and didn't need to please others. Today, Lin Xi truly taught Tan Sha Sha a lesson.
While Tan Sha Sha was taking a breather outside, she suddenly encountered a guy who, like her, didn't enjoy the drinking atmosphere. The guy even introduced himself to Tan Sha Sha. Lin Xi came out and called Tan Sha Sha away, so Tan Sha Sha had no choice but to leave.
In fact, Wei Tian wanted to explain the real reason behind Lin Xi breaking up with Xiao Yi Cheng several times, but the words got stuck in his throat.
