Episode 8 recap: Xin Jia tried to please the Mai family for business purposes.
Liu Wan Yu approached Yao Zhi Ming for negotiations, asking for Yao Zhi Ming's support for Xin Jia's business. Mai Cheng Huan criticized Liu Wan Yu for using backdoor methods to approach Yao Zhi Ming, while Liu Wan Yu only wanted to help Mai Cheng Huan and Xin Jia Liang's marriage.
Upon hearing that Yao Zhi Ming had connections with the Mai family, Xin Zhi Shan assigned Chen De Jing to mend relations with the Mai family. Chen De Jing cleverly built a closer relationship with Liu Wan Yu and even helped Mai Cheng Zao secure a job at Luo Mingli's law firm.
Coincidentally, Mai Cheng Zao was already interning at the law firm. Chen De Jing promised to help him become a regular employee, which greatly pleased Liu Wan Yu. She immediately agreed to secure Yao Zhi Ming's hotel orders for Xin Jia and gifted her homemade spicy sauce to Chen De Jing. However, Chen De Jing threw it into the trash.
Liu Wan Yu brought her homemade smoked fish to the hotel to find Yao Zhi Ming, hoping to secure orders for Xin Jia. However, Mai Cheng Huan appeared in time and thwarted her plan, warning her not to interfere with the bidding process. Upon learning that Chen De Jing used Mai Cheng Zao's job to please Liu Wan Yu, Mai Cheng Huan became extremely angry.
Mai Cheng Zao desired to earn his regular position at the law firm through his own efforts and didn't want to rely on Mai Cheng Huan's marriage. Liu Wan Yu was dissatisfied with this decision, but Mai Cheng Huan encouraged him to follow his own path and believed they could resolve the marriage issue.
News of Mai Cheng Zao's early promotion spread, and the attitudes of his colleagues changed abruptly. Lawyer Liu even assigned him simple tasks. At the same time, Yao Zhi Ming transferred Mai Cheng Huan to be his administrative secretary, which delighted Zhu Zheng and others. However, Mai Cheng Huan and Wu You felt confused and dissatisfied.
Mai Cheng Zao went straight to the Mao Mao shop after work to help her cope with the overwhelming number of orders. Yao Zhi Ming handed the bidding documents to Mai Cheng Huan. Although she had doubts about his promotion motives, Yao Zhi Ming avoided the topic and only encouraged her to do a good job.
While delivering an invitation letter to Xin Zhi Shan, Mai Cheng Huan accidentally revealed Chen De Jing's request, causing a brief panic for Xin Jia Liang and catching Zhu Bao Qiao's attention. Zhu Bao Qiao, Mai Cheng Huan's college classmate and now Xin Zhi Shan's secretary, informed Mai Cheng Huan of Yao Zhi Ming's plan to squeeze out De Shan Home Furnishings. However, Mai Cheng Huan refused to get involved.
Despite being busy preparing for the bidding meeting, Yao Zhi Ming still cared about Mai Cheng Huan's health. Mai Cheng Zao coincidentally met Mao Mao and poured out his frustrations, and Mao Mao comforted him, advising him not to pay attention to gossip. Chen De Jing worried about Mai Cheng Huan's motives, and Xin Jia Li suggested signing a prenuptial agreement.
Zhu Bao Qiao bribed Wu You to obtain the lowest bidding price, and Wu You was tempted by the generous offer.
