Episode 23 recap: The band had a successful first performance.
William and Qu Wen Wen invited Mu Di to dinner to thank her for her help to William during this time. Mu Di said it wasn't her credit, and Qu Wen Wen mentioned that it was Bai Lang's doing. Mu Di fell silent, and Qu Wen Wen said they wanted to thank Bai Lang properly but didn't know what he liked. Qu Wen Wen then jokingly said they should introduce him to a girlfriend like Mu Di. William shared with her everything Bai Lang had done for Mu Di, making Mu Di feel embarrassed and change the topic. Mu Di mentioned that the squad leader was feeling a bit lost because he couldn't find his place in the band. William expressed support for the squad leader joining them but didn't know what the squad leader thought, and said he would come up with a solution. At that moment, Bai Lang messaged Mu Di, saying that Huang Tao wanted to resign and left in a hurry after bidding farewell to Qu Wen Wen and the others.
When Mu Di arrived, Huang Tao was about to leave with her suitcase. Mu Di approached Huang Tao and asked if they could talk. Huang Tao agreed. Mu Di told her that Huang Tao's intention to leave was actually to get Bai Lang's attention and try to win him back. But she explained that it would only torment herself and others, and once she left, it would be difficult to come back. Huang Tao fell silent. Mu Di used her own personal experience to advise Huang Tao that it wasn't worth torturing herself for a man. Huang Tao started to waver, and Mu Di seized the opportunity and said that her actions wouldn't end well, but she could help Huang Tao. Huang Tao nodded and asked how she could help.
After a while, Huang Tao and Mu Di walked out hand in hand, surprising Huang Jin, who was guarding the door. Huang Tao decided not to leave and told Bai Lang that their relationship would remain as it was. She asked him to continue treating her like a sister, and Bai Lang happily agreed. Qu Yuanhang made an appointment with Deputy Mayor Yao to go mountain climbing and complained to him about the situation in the east. Deputy Mayor Yao expressed his admiration for Qu Yuanhang's dedication to the people in the east, which made Qu Yuanhang believe in them. Deputy Mayor Yao also acknowledged that the city indeed wanted to vigorously develop the cultural industry. Qu Yuanhang finally understood. As he bid farewell, Deputy Mayor Yao asked him to read the research report before making a decision, and Qu Yuanhang agreed.
In the small town, everyone worked hard to promote the band's first performance, but the results were not satisfactory. Mu Di worried that no one would show up, but William assured her that he and Bai Lang would take care of it and asked her not to worry. Bai Lang and the others distributed flyers for the whole morning and finally realized that they had been going in the wrong direction. They needed to create a demand for the concert, so that people would come to watch.
Bai Lang sought the help of Shen De Bao and asked him to inform the matchmaking agency to organize young people to come and watch the concert on the weekend. In return, Bai Lang promised to give him all the subsequent activities. Shen De Bao hesitated.
On the day of the band's performance, the audience sitting in the audience was full. When the performance ended, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd, and everyone was very happy. In the company, Mu Di asked Bai Lang how many events he had hosted for Shen De Bao. Bai Lang pretended to be clueless, but Mu Di mentioned that Huang Tao had told her that the audience today was obtained through Bai Lang's hosting. Bai Lang replied that as long as Mu Di was happy, it was fine. Mu Di asked him why he didn't go inside if he was present at the venue. Bai Lang explained that he was dirty at the time. Mu Di expressed that Bai Lang was important to her, and at that time, he was the person she wanted to see the most. Bai Lang was taken aback and didn't directly respond to Mu Di's words. He changed the topic and offered to take her home. Mu Di was a bit disappointed and left on her own.
Bai Lang returned home and celebrated his mother's birthday. His mother took out a stack of money from the cabinet and gave it to Bai Lang. Bai Lang accepted it, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions as he thought about the difference between his and Mu Di's families. He shed bitter tears. Wei Zai Dong mentioned that he came to the park to compensate Mu Tong and his mother, and brought them to play. Wei Zai Dong saw many people wearing Hanfu in the park, and his professional habit kicked in. He took photos and collected information. But when he saw Mu Tong's speechless eyes, he reluctantly stopped and turned to help Mu Tong and his mother take pictures.
In the company, Mu Di kept staring at Bai Lang with an unfriendly look. Bai Lang and his group felt their hair standing on end and didn't dare to make any rash moves. Huang Jin and the others couldn't stand it anymore and found excuses to leave, leaving Bai Lang alone to bear Mu Di's intimidating gaze.
