William said that both he and Qu Wen Wen want to live a warm life like children from ordinary families. However, Qu Yuanhang believes that they are different from those children and that they are meant to inherit their parents' business from the moment they were born. William said that Qu Wen Wen definitely wants a loving father, not just a chairman, and because he understands Qu Wen Wen, he speaks up for her today. Qu Yuanhang is too harsh on Qu Wen Wen, and she is afraid of him. But William says that he can teach Qu Yuanhang, and Qu Yuanhang attentively watches William. William says that at home, Qu Yuanhang should smile more and teaches him how to smile.
In the murder mystery game, the culprit Xu Huan was successfully identified. Xu Huan feels disappointed, and Qu Wen Wen takes the opportunity to matchmake Ding Yi and Xu Huan. Ding Yi confesses his feelings directly to Xu Huan, and Xu Huan is moved by his sincere words and agrees to be his girlfriend. They embrace each other, and everyone else cheers. When Qu Wen Wen returns home, she sees William and Qu Yuanhang drinking heavily and playing a drinking game. She feels sorry for William, who can't handle alcohol.

When Bai Lang returns home, Mu Di is cooking. Bai Lang takes over the task from her and they chat sweetly. On the day of the official live broadcast, everyone is nervous in front of the camera and can't speak well. Qu Wen Wen says she has a solution. The group gathers and exchanges a few words. Mu Di steps forward and says that due to equipment failure, they cannot do a live broadcast today, so they will have a rehearsal instead. Everyone relaxes upon hearing this and starts chatting away, revealing all the gossip within the group. Others quickly stop them, and the group starts playing music. The effect is very good. It is only at the end that they realize it was a live broadcast, and everyone feels disappointed, thinking that they have ruined their image. Qu Wen Wen and the director walk into the backstage, and everyone thinks they are there to reprimand them. Everyone lowers their heads, but William quickly takes the blame, and others also admit their mistakes. Qu Wen Wen interrupts them with a smile and says that the director praised them. The live broadcast received rave reviews, and they are very satisfied. The director says they will have long-term cooperation in the future, and everyone is happy. The band's first official live broadcast has achieved great success, and the members are filled with confidence. Qu Wen Wen establishes the Min Yue Fang company and collaborates with "Small Town Stories" to make traditional music a calling card for Wei Hai.
On the day of payday, everyone was pleasantly surprised and happy as they looked at the thick stack of banknotes in their hands. Captain Wu arrived, and Bai Lang also gave him a bundle, saying that Captain Wu had helped them so much with the arrangement and that he was also a member of their team. Captain Wu happily accepted it and suggested that they should lead the young people's musical aesthetic and not just focus on making money. Bai Lang promised that their live broadcast room would definitely not have any messy things.
Qu Wen Wen personally cooked to please Qu Yuanhang and asked him about the development of the cultural district in the city. However, Qu Yuanhang believed that such projects that may seem glamorous on the outside but don't actually make much money have no future. He believed that any business, without a sound business model, would not be sustainable in the long run. Qu Wen Wen didn't believe it and said that she would figure it out.
Qu Wen Wen racked her brains but still couldn't come up with any good ideas. William comforted and accompanied her. In the morning, Qu Yuanhang saw the two of them exhausted and sleeping on the sofa, and he felt sorry for them. He messaged his secretary to put all the company's recent resources into the cultural district project bidding and to fully support Qu Wen Wen, striving to win the project.
On the day of the bidding, Qu Wen Wen presented her proposal to Wei Zaidong. Wei Zaidong appreciated it and also gave them some good news. The Cultural and Tourism Bureau had decided to use the Small Town Stories band as a demonstration unit and apply for a special folk music fund from the cultural support fund proposed by the municipal government. This fund would help their company grow the band and become a distinctive cultural calling card for Wei Hai.
