Episode 2 recap: Xia Guo went to Shanghai alone.
Due to a family crisis, Yu Jian couldn't leave his parents behind to pursue opportunities in Shanghai. As a result, Xia Guo also faced a difficult choice. If she went to Shanghai, it meant being in a long-distance relationship with Yu Jian. In the evening, Xia Guo visited Yu Jian's father at the hospital. She had already handed over her work to her colleagues, but she still had to make a final decision.
Yu Jian's father woke up, and he said a few words to Xia Guo. He expressed his hope that Yu Jian could stay by his side because his health depended on his son. In the end, Xia Guo decided to go to Shanghai. She didn't want to give up this opportunity. She wanted to live a life like Director Chen's.
Actually, Yu Jian wanted Xia Guo to stay, but he didn't want her to give up her dreams because of him. Yu Jian accompanied Xia Guo to the train station, and neither of them wanted to part with each other. In the end, all they could do was turn their reluctance into longing. Xia Guo held the necklace and portrait that Yu Jian gave her and cried on the train.
She recalled the moments she spent with Yu Jian. When their parents divorced, Yu Jian was very sad. At that time, Yu Jian had promised to take Xia Guo to Shanghai, but when he saw Xia Guo's sad face, he decided not to go and stayed with her instead. This happened before as well. Every time, Yu Jian would compromise for Xia Guo. Xia Guo got off the train halfway and decided to stay in Leshan, choosing to live her ideal life there.
Several years later, Yu Jian and Xia Guo got married and had children in Leshan. Xia Guo started a life of taking care of their child, but Yu Jian seemed to have changed. He rarely came home, and Xia Guo accidentally discovered his close relationship with his former junior, Wen Ya, and found out about their visits to hotels.
Xia Guo regretted it. If she had known that married life with Yu Jian would be so terrible, she would have chosen to go to Shanghai in the first place. Rewinding time, Xia Guo still went to Shanghai, while Yu Jian stayed in Leshan to take care of his father. They embarked on a long-distance relationship.
Xia Guo arrived in the big city, and she was really unfamiliar with the pace here. She couldn't even find the floor buttons in the building. Fortunately, Director Chen Nanjie ran into her and took her to the front desk to get an access card.
Nanjie told Xia Guo that there was still a lot for her to learn since she was transferred here. She had to prove herself. On Xia Guo's first day at the company, she attended a meeting where she saw General Manager Xue for the first time. She had only seen him in the company brochure before, and now she was thrilled to see him in person. She even secretly took a photo.
During the meeting, General Manager Xue didn't think highly of Nanjie's marketing strategy of live streaming sales, but she was very determined with her plan. She believed it was a major trend, and their brand had to seize the market in advance. While working in high heels, Xia Guo accidentally sprained her foot. After work, she went to a massage parlor to get a massage. Initially, she only considered trying it out because the shop had a promotion. However, she ended up being persuaded into buying a massage card for 4,800 yuan.
She had a video call with Yu Jian and complained about this incident. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. It was only when Yu Jian ordered her favorite takeout that he managed to console her. Yu Jian's mother didn't want him to contact Xia Guo anymore. Over the years, they treated Xia Guo like their own daughter, but she unexpectedly left without saying a word for the opportunity in Shanghai. Therefore, Yu Jian's mother planned to find a new girlfriend for her son.
As a newcomer, Xia Guo is bound to encounter problems at work, and the problems came quickly. Because an additional order was placed during the live stream without reporting it, the warehouse couldn't ship the products. Of course, this issue was caused by a colleague in the sales department making decisions without her consent. Now General Manager Xue was furious and felt that Director Chen had given him a mess to deal with. He was already skeptical about the live streaming sales.
Later, after discussing with Nanjie, General Manager Xue decided to penalize Xia Guo by deducting 3,000 yuan from her salary.
