Episode 5 recap: Bai Lan and Lu Xiao Lu helped Afang.
Lu Xiao Lu and Bai Lan caught the person who was sending threatening letters to Bai Lan, and surprisingly, it turned out to be Afang. Bai Lan didn't understand why Afang would do such a thing. It turned out that there was only one spot for further education in the factory this year, and Ding De Zhong suddenly changed his mind recently. Afang thought it was all Bai Lan's doing, so she wrote the threatening letters to Bai Lan.
Bai Lan explained that she didn't know what had happened, but Afang didn't listen and walked away, leaving Lu Xiao Lu and Bai Lan stunned. The next day, when Lu Xiao Lu and Bai Lan heard news about Afang again, she was already standing on the rooftop with a crowd gathered below. Lu Xiao Lu and Bai Lan were worried that Afang might be feeling unhappy and were extremely anxious, but the people below were indifferent. Ding De Zhong's wife held a loudspeaker and cursed Afang, accusing her of defaming Ding De Zhong. Afang was anxious to prove her innocence, but Bi Zhi Gang stepped forward and asked if Afang had any witnesses. Afang anxiously stomped her feet, and suddenly Lu Xiao Lu's voice came from behind, saying that she could testify for Afang. It turned out that when Afang wasn't paying attention, Lu Xiao Lu and Bai Lan had already stood behind her. Bai Lan calmed down and asked Afang if Ding De Zhong had bullied her in the administrative office that day. Afang was surprised that Bai Lan had noticed, and at that moment, Bai Lan completely understood Afang. Then Bai Lan reached out to help Afang, and only then did Afang come down from the rooftop. Although the people below were still discussing these matters, fortunately, Afang had already stabilized.
Lu Xiao Lu's willingness to speak up and help Afang in a time of crisis made Bai Lan have a newfound respect for her. Lu Xiao Lu openly stated that it was because she knew that even if she didn't step forward, Bai Lan would. Bai Lan smiled and remained silent. When Lu Xiao Lu returned to the maintenance class, everyone was worried about him. After all, openly opposing Ding De Zhong wouldn't bring any benefits, and it was possible that he could be fired from the factory in order to protect Ding De Zhong. Lu Xiao Lu still insisted on his statement, saying that he had no regrets in speaking up for Afang and that he believed everything Afang said was true.
Lu Xiao Lu was soon called back home by his mother. As soon as he entered the house, his mother handed him a prepared apology letter, saying that this was the only way to save Lu Xiao Lu. Otherwise, Lu Xiao Lu would have offended Ding De Zhong, and if he were fired from the factory, it would be difficult for him to find employment elsewhere. Lu Xiao Lu's mother genuinely cared for his well-being, but Lu Xiao Lu was determined to help Afang! Shortly after, Lu Xiao Lu was called away by Lu Da Jiang. Lu Da Jiang asked Lu Xiao Lu if he still hoped to gain his recognition, but as he turned around, he called Qin Juan over. It turned out that Lu Xiao Lu's mother had asked Lu Da Jiang for help! Lu Xiao Lu asked Qin Juan if she was also going to force him, but Qin Juan said that she wanted the best for him. However, Lu Xiao Lu didn't understand.
The first person Ding De Zhong encountered was unexpectedly Bi Zhi Gang. Bi Zhi Gang came up with a brilliant idea for Ding De Zhong, which was to have Bai Lan provide a mental health certificate for Afang. After all, the words of a mentally ill person cannot be trusted. Ding De Zhong was very satisfied, so Bi Zhi Gang took on this task.
At that moment, Bai Lan was by Afang's side. Afang told Bai Lan about her years of hard work in preparing for further education, only to have the spots taken by Ding De Zhong's connections. Bai Lan sympathized with Afang and understood the reasons behind her actions towards herself. Bai Lan also encouraged Afang not to succumb to evil forces! Soon, Bi Zhi Gang approached them, attempting to coerce and persuade Bai Lan to provide the mental health certificate. Bai Lan did not give an immediate response.
However, to everyone's surprise, Bai Lan handed over the prepared certificate to Bi Zhi Gang when she turned around. Bi Zhi Gang couldn't believe it himself. That night, Ding De Zhong used the mental health certificate to seek forgiveness from his wife during their argument. At that moment, they seemed to hear a knocking sound at the door. Ding De Zhong approached and was astonished to find Afang there! The next day, Afang, Bai Lan, and Lu Xiao Lu went to the office of the factory director. At the same time, everyone's complaint letters were submitted as well. The factory director stated that a thorough investigation would be conducted and assured that the factory would provide assistance regarding Afang's further education. However, Afang refused. She expressed that she only wanted to leave this place and never return. Bai Lan and Lu Xiao Lu accompanied her as she left! This incident made Lu Xiao Lu realize that Bai Lan seemed to have an impact on him, and their relationship deepened further.
