Episode 10 recap: Yue Qian Ling's pursuer, Gu Xun, appeared and made him extremely anxious.
Yue Qian Ling's pursuer, Gu Xun, appeared and made him extremely anxious.Gu Xun questioned Yue Qian Ling about their childhood friendship and discovered that it was Yue Qian Ling who had initiated contact with him. He realized that she was interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with him, so he immediately reminded her to pretend to have a boyfriend in order to prevent any emotional development between them.
He suggested that if the pursuer inquired further, he wouldn't mind calling Yue Qian Ling to confirm the boyfriend's existence. Just after Yue Qian Ling praised the "school hunk," her childhood friend hinted at having pursued her for a long time and asked if she had a boyfriend. Without hesitation, Yue Qian Ling claimed to have one, mentioning that her boyfriend was skilled at gaming and always defended her when she was being bullied. However, when it came to evaluating how well her boyfriend treated her in real life, she felt a tinge of bitterness but still claimed he was great, not realizing that she was inadvertently substituting Gu Xun into the role of her boyfriend.
Yue Qian Ling's mother was very satisfied with Tang Xin and even wished for him to become her son-in-law. When she learned that he had invited Yue Qian Ling for dinner under the pretext of a lavish meal, she immediately agreed and urged Yue Qian Ling to wear a dress for the occasion. Gu Xun, upon discovering that Tang Xin had gone to Yue Qian Ling's house, desperately wanted to catch up with them. However, he had no idea where Yue Qian Ling's house was, which greatly frustrated him. As a result, he changed his strategy and suggested playing a game with Yue Qian Ling, but she was too busy with the dinner arrangement and had no time.
Jiang Junnan noticed that Gu Xun had no intention of playing games at all and felt insulted by his lackluster performance. Out of goodwill, he sent Gu Xun a secret love test, even though Gu Xun claimed he didn't need it. Seizing the opportunity while Jiang Junnan was in the restroom, Gu Xun immediately forwarded the test to Yue Qian Ling. She carefully compared the questions and answers and found that Tang Xin matched the criteria for secretly loving her. This made her anxious, and Gu Xun became even more desperate. He used this opportunity to ask Yue Qian Ling for her phone number, intending to use it in case of an emergency.
Tang Xin accompanied Yue Qian Ling home when suddenly Gu Xun called her, loudly urging her to return home early and demanding that she profess her love for him. Tang Xin, feeling bitter, couldn't accept this and took Yue Qian Ling's phone. He initiated a video call with Gu Xun, who dared not reveal his true identity and anxiously spun around holding his phone. Tang Xin questioned Yue Qian Ling about why her boyfriend was so unreliable, and she explained that he was playing games. This made Tang Xin even more convinced of the unreliability.
Upon returning home, Yue Qian Ling's parents immediately criticized her boyfriend, claiming that he was not only poor but also obsessed with gaming, making him an unsuitable match for her. They advised her to consider Tang Xin instead. However, Yue Qian Ling had always regarded Tang Xin as a close friend, and she knew that a romantic relationship between them was simply not possible. She quickly retreated to her room to sleep.
Gu Xun had been thinking about the secret love test, and in order for Yue Qian Ling to understand him better, he voluntarily opened up his friend circle permissions. Yue Qian Ling keenly sensed that Gu Xun had developed feelings for someone else and believed that it had nothing to do with her. Although she shared her joy of obtaining her driver's license on her friend circle, she set the visibility to only three days. Gu Xun felt helpless upon seeing this.
Due to financial constraints, Huacai Company needed to reduce expenses, and the projects of Jiang Yi Shi and Gu Xun were to participate in the evaluation meeting. The final decision on fund allocation would be made by the respective departments, so both departments held meetings. When Jiang Yi Shi asked everyone to provide their opinions, he looked meaningfully at Yue Qian Ling. At that moment, Yue Qian Ling received a meeting notification from Chen Xin Yi, and she became anxious. Huang Jie understood Yue Qian Ling's predicament and suggested that she pretend to have low blood sugar. Fortunately, Jiang Yi Shi's meeting ended just in time. Yue Qian Ling was planning to leave quickly, but Jiang Yi Shi stopped her and asked why she didn't have any opinions. Yue Qian Ling explained that she had low blood sugar due to rushing to complete an assignment the previous night. Jiang Yi Shi immediately told her not to go to the Ninth Division. Yue Qian Ling quickly assured him that she could persist and hurriedly went to the meeting.
Gu Xun looked at everyone from the department already present, except for Yue Qian Ling, and couldn't help but feel anxious. Fanship had some subtle words for Yue Qian Ling when she finally arrived. He questioned Yue Qian Ling's vision for the character Lin Zhi on the spot, expressing his dissatisfaction after hearing her ideas. He privately confronted Yue Qian Ling, reminding her to consult the planner about the game background and character design. Yue Qian Ling stubbornly stated that if she couldn't complete the work, she would resign. However, she still highly valued Fanship's suggestions.
Wang Hai was fired, and "The Path of the Hero" needed a creative strategist. Gu Xun thought of Su Zheng and went to find him with the materials, hoping he would consider the position. Su Zheng had many of his ideas rejected in the First Division and was unhappy working under Jiang Yi Shi. Finally, under pressure, he proposed to Jiang Yi Shi to leave and join the Ninth Division.
The character design of Lin Zhi, designed by Yue Qian Ling, faced harsh criticism from Fanship, and Gu Xun was also dissatisfied, bluntly giving it a score of only forty points. He watched Yue Qian Ling working hard overtime and waited for her to come home. He scattered flower petals from the balcony, which drifted onto Yue Qian Ling, making her happy.
