Episode 22 recap: Yao Zhi Ming moved into the villa and lived with the Mai family.
Mai Cheng Huan officially took over the management of Xing An Li, and she decided to change Chen Shu Zhen's previous management approach, wanting to adjust the employees' salary levels. Headquarters ordered Yao Zhi Ming to acquire the Xing An Li hotel within one month, and Yao Zhi Ming decided to help Mai Cheng Huan.
Liu Wan Yu sent a lot of messages to Mai Cheng Huan, but Mai Cheng Huan did not reply. Worried, Liu Wan Yu cooked some glutinous rice balls early in the morning and had Mai Lai Tian deliver them to Mai Cheng Huan.
Mai Cheng Huan officially took over the management of the Xing An Li hotel, calling on all employees to work together. Liao Gang publicly confronted Mai Cheng Huan and mocked her, but Mai Cheng Huan had already thoroughly understood the situation of each employee. She knew that Liao Gang started as a doorman and was promoted to the lobby supervisor due to his excellent performance. She also discovered that Chen Shu Zhen's previous management model could no longer keep up with the current situation, so she needed to gradually adjust the salary structure, promising bonuses and dividends to employees with outstanding performance, hoping that everyone would treat Xing An Li as their own home. The employees applauded in support of Mai Cheng Huan.
When Mai Lai Tian entered and saw this scene, he felt relieved and concerned for Mai Cheng Huan, not wanting her to be too tired. Mai Cheng Huan ate the glutinous rice balls cooked by Liu Wan Yu, feeling warm inside. She wanted to settle the work at Xing An Li first, then go home and have a good talk with Liu Wan Yu.
Yao Zhi Ming reported the work to the leadership, but the leadership believed Zhang Pei Sheng's slander and ordered Yao Zhi Ming to acquire the Xing An Li hotel within one month. Yao Zhi Ming did not expect Zhang Pei Sheng to be scheming behind his back. He Dong asked Yao Zhi Ming to choose between Mai Cheng Huan and the Xing An Li hotel, and Yao Zhi Ming remained noncommittal.
Yao Zhi Ming had the courier send a potted plant to Mai Cheng Huan, wishing her a thriving business. Liu Wan Yu brought Aunt Wang, a neighbor from the alley, to the garden villa for a visit, and asked her to help introduce a match for Mai Cheng Huan. When Mai Cheng Huan returned home from work, Liu Wan Yu was overjoyed, but Aunt Wang made an excuse and left early.
Liu Wan Yu urged Mai Cheng Huan to move back home as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, Mai Cheng Huan asked them to move out and rent a house. Liu Wan Yu was used to living in the garden villa and did not want to move to a rental property.
Yao Zhi Ming moved to the garden villa, and let the Mai family continue living there. Mai Cheng Huan had no choice but to give up, but since the family had no extra houses, Yao Zhi Ming actively requested to move to the attic to live. Mai Cheng Huan felt it was inappropriate, and wanted to give her own room to Yao Zhi Ming; otherwise, she would rent a house and move out. Liu Wan Yu firmly refused, and Mai Cheng Huan did not want to get entangled with her, so she had to leave first.
When Mai Cheng Zao came home from work, he also agreed with Mai Cheng Huan's decision. Liu Wan Yu firmly refused to move out, so Mai Cheng Zao decided to move out and live with Mai Cheng Huan. Liu Wan Yu considered it carefully before reluctantly deciding, repeatedly warning Mai Cheng Zao to keep a close eye on Mai Cheng Huan's every move.
Mai Cheng Zao packed his bags and went to Mai Cheng Huan, who also let him live in the employee dormitory. Yao Zhi Ming moved to the attic, and He Dong, upon learning of this, could not help but tease him. Yao Zhi Ming prepared a exquisite breakfast early in the morning, and Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian looked at him with admiration.
The business of Xing An Li Hotel was not ideal, so Mai Cheng Huan came up with some practical solutions, and also asked Sherry to introduce a business order that Botticelli had turned down. Yao Zhi Ming went home right after work, and even brought the freshest salmon. Liu Wan Yu prepared a large table of dishes, but she dared not eat raw fish, and also persuaded Liu Wan Yu to eat more of the home-cooked dishes.
After dinner, Yao Zhi Ming voluntarily washed the dishes, and Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian praised him highly, then went out for a walk. Mai Cheng Huan went to the Shanghai Daily Chemical Factory to discuss the business reception plan with the general manager, and accidentally learned that the general manager was about to get married. Yao Zhi Ming later rushed over to see the general manager for cooperation, and Mai Cheng Huan had to leave first.
Yao Zhi Ming left Xing An Li to apologize to Mai Cheng Huan, and Mai Cheng Huan admitted that the business reception at Xing An Li was not as good as Botticelli's. She wanted to organize a wedding, and Yao Zhi Ming suggested she hold a Hai Pai wedding, which Mai Cheng Huan thought made sense.
Yao Zhi Ming came home from work and saw Mai Lai Tian drinking, guessing that Liu Wan Yu was not at home, as she disliked Mai Lai Tian drinking. Mai Lai Tian, emboldened by the alcohol, gave Yao Zhi Ming advice on how to get along with one's spouse.
