Episode 24 recap: The band's live broadcast finally succeeded.
Mu Di was pressuring Bai Lang step by step, wanting Bai Lang to admit his feelings for her, but Bai Lang kept evading the topic. Ding Yi took a day off and went out to play with Xu Huan. They were both happy and praised each other, but no matter how Xu Huan hinted, Ding Yi couldn't see her feelings for him, which made Xu Huan a little disappointed.
Wei Zai Dong asked Mu Tong about the minimum loan that their bank could provide to small and medium-sized enterprises for the matter of the Hanfu factory. Mu Tong said their bank was unwilling to take on business from small and medium-sized enterprises because of the high risks and low profitability. They exchanged a few playful remarks, but Wei Zai Dong didn't give up and tried to persuade Mu Tong again. Mu Tong was annoyed by his persistence and agreed, asking the factory director, Guo Liang, to bring the documents to the bank tomorrow. He promised that if everything was legal and compliant, he would report it.
Bai Lang and William were acting sneaky, as if they were hiding something from Mu Di. When Bai Lang left, Mu Di approached William and asked him about it. William said Bai Lang didn't want Mu Di to know because she might get anxious. Mu Di guessed that it was about the live music concert and asked William. William confirmed it, saying that the previous account didn't have good popularity, and Bai Lang suggested seeking marketing help from a few companies, but it would require a lot of money. Bai Lang was worried about adding pressure to Mu Di, and online performances were not easy to control, so Bai Lang entrusted the hosting to William, asking Mu Di to focus on the performance. However, Mu Di refused, saying that she would handle it herself since she was more professional in traditional music.
On the day of the live broadcast, there were many unfriendly comments in the barrage. During the live PK, the opponents, realizing that Mu Di was a girl, made disrespectful remarks towards her. Mu Di became angry and at a loss, and eventually shut down the live stream. The first live broadcast of "Small Town Stories" ended in failure. Live streaming was like a Pandora's box, bringing fame and fortune, but also many negative influences. They didn't know if they could continue on this path.
In the evening, Bai Lang brought some food and met Mu Di downstairs at her house to comfort her about the failed live broadcast. Mu Di said she wasn't angry and was about to leave, but Bai Lang asked her to take the food with her, so Mu Di took it and went upstairs. Because of the backlash from the live stream, some members of the band wanted to quit. Ping Jie was also beaten by her husband. Bai Lang and Mu Di, accompanied by Ping Jie, went to confront her husband and demand an explanation. Her husband even wanted to lay hands on Ping Jie but was stopped by Bai Lang, who took him aside to talk. Bai Lang first apologized to him for the live stream incident, then asked him to apologize to Ping Jie. Ping Jie's husband said he was just angry because of the vulgar comments made by those people. Bai Lang advised him not to lay hands on Ping Jie again, and explained that everything she did was for their family. He promised to protect their employees in the future, and Ping Jie's husband agreed and apologized to her.
Because of his fear of needles, Ding Yi pleaded with Xu Huan to accompany him for a medical examination. Xu Huan was surprised but found it amusing. When it was Ding Yi's turn, Xu Huan helped him divert his attention, and before Ding Yi knew it, the blood draw was already done. Ding Yi asked Xu Huan not to tell anyone about it, and Xu Huan agreed on the condition that Ding Yi treat her to a delicious meal, to which Ding Yi agreed.
Because Mu Tong accidentally mentioned that the city planned to develop the cultural and tourism industry, Guo Liang's younger brother mortgaged his house and started a clothing factory. When Mu Tong visited and learned about it, his expression changed immediately. He said that Wei Zai Dong's introduction of distributors was his personal act, and they shouldn't contract it out to others. He asked them to quickly send him the information about Guo Liang's clothing factory and then left.
After returning home, Mu Tong told Wei Zai Dong about this matter. It turned out that Guo Liang's younger brother used to run a funeral clothing factory. Wei Zai Dong said that he learned about it from the distributor and advised them not to return the goods immediately. Instead, they should ask the funeral clothing factory to return the goods first, and then they would send another batch of goods in return. The other party said they would consider it. Mu Tong felt guilty, but Wei Zai Dong comforted her, saying that it was their own lack of consideration and they would take responsibility for it.
Bai Lang attended various social events because of the live stream. He got drunk and called Mu Di. Mu Di could tell that he had been drinking and offered to pick him up, but Bai Lang refused and said he just wanted to give her a call before letting her go to sleep. This time, Bai Lang hired a professional live streaming company to handle the operation, and the live stream went very smoothly.
