Episode 29 recap: Liu Xiang Shang supports Ding Ding.
Gao Yuxuan did not send any messages in the group, but he has not received a response from the parents for a while. This time they are raising funds for the fifth-grade children. Gao Yuxuan's mother explained the situation in the group. Dai Jing happened to call Liu Xiang Shang and mentioned that a colleague had died suddenly due to working overtime and staying up late. They both agreed to supervise each other to exercise daily because they realized that good health is essential.
Dai Jing also saw the messages in the group but noticed that no one has responded yet. They decided to wait and see before speaking up. Dai Jing's mother saw her husband sitting on the sofa, laughing and crying while looking at his phone. She found it strange and tried to hide her curiosity. Gao Yuxuan's mother still hasn't received any response from the parents. She openly asked them to donate in the group, mentioning Jing Ting Ting and Xiao Jia Rui's mothers, as they are considered wealthy in the class. Jing Ting Ting was too busy trimming her nails and paid no attention to them.
Jing Ting Ting was still worried about Yang Ming Biao's health, so she decided to supervise her husband's exercise starting from tomorrow. She directly told Gao Yuxuan's mother that she would donate 300 yuan. Soon, others started responding in the group, expressing their willingness to donate. This made Gao Yuxuan's mother very happy as she finally received support for her work.
Even though the donations are voluntary, it is still difficult for families with average financial conditions to speak up in the group. Tang Xiao Wei decided to consult Liu Xiang Shang about what to do in this situation. Both Liu Xiang Shang and Dai Jing were planning to donate some money for the children, so Tang Xiao Wei had no choice but to join them.
Dai Jing also started to rally her employees to support their outstanding colleagues, but they were not willing. Each person had their own reasons. After experiencing this, Dai Jing became very angry. Ding Ding emphasized that she would not donate once she learned it was voluntary. When Dai Jing's father went to the market to buy groceries, his wife quietly followed him because she noticed something was off about him lately but he didn't share any information. She wanted to see what he was up to. However, when they were at the farmers' market, her husband noticed his wife was following him, so he took the opportunity to hide.
Gao Yuxuan's mother posted a list of all the donations in the group, which led to another heated argument. Jing Ting Ting overheard Xiao Jia Rui's mother complaining about others' small donations, so she felt offended and said she would contribute more. This sparked a competitive atmosphere between the two sides. Dai Jing received a call from her supervisor, who informed her that someone in their department had reported the donation issue, claiming it was not voluntary. Dai Jing was furious and didn't bother to inquire further. To her surprise, the reporter turned out to be Ding Ding. Dai Jing angrily called Ding Ding into her office and questioned why they didn't discuss the matter together. Ding Ding argued that they had already discussed it, but Dai Jing didn't listen to their opinions.
The entire parent group is now in an uproar. Gao Yuxuan's mother hypocritically stepped forward to mediate the situation. Liu Xiang Shang advised not to call Jing Ting Ting and provoke her further in the group, as this continuous comparison was not good. When Liu Xiang Shang saw his son return home, he sent him to his room and inquired about the situation of the classmate in the neighboring class who had to drop out due to cancer. In reality, the classmate's parents had already raised enough money, but the situation has escalated unreasonably.
Liu Xiang Shang quickly reported the situation in the group, and Gao Yuxuan's mother repeatedly affirmed that she had not misunderstood the information. When Gao Yuxuan's mother returned and asked her son, she realized that she had indeed made a mistake. She apologized to all the parents in the group, but the parents were even angrier and demanded a re-election of the parent committee chairman.
After returning home, Dai Jing informed Liu Xiang Shang about the situation at work. Liu Xiang Shang agreed that if it was voluntary, others should not be forced. Ding Ding personally approached the higher-ups to explain the situation. Dai Jing was worried that Ding Ding might lose her job because of this incident, so she took the responsibility upon herself. The supervisor also admitted that their actions were inappropriate. Originally, it was meant to be voluntary, but some departments misunderstood, resulting in the current situation.
Ding Ding didn't expect that even after her mistake, Dai Jing would come forward to help. Thinking about this, she felt quite touched.
