Episode 10 recap: Chen Hua Feng arranged for Chen Xiao Man to join the company.
When Ke Yan has free time, he also helps Chen Xiao Man with whatever he can, such as kneading clay. They also chat during that time. Ke Yan really wants Chen Xiao Man to help him get acquainted with her aunt, Chen Hua Yun. It seems that with the guidance of an experienced person, Chen Hua Yun is easier to win over than Chen Hua Feng. However, Chen Xiao Man advises him to dismiss this idea because her aunt rarely socializes, and even close acquaintances have a hard time reaching her.
Ke Yan asks Chen Xiao Man when she will return to Beijing. Yes, she has been in her hometown for a while, and she should indeed consider going back. However, Chen Xiao Man is not yet sure if she wants to stay here. The process of firing the "Cloudy Skies and Clear Snow" has given her a feeling of homecoming.
The next day, Chen Xiao Man went to see her father, Chen Hua Ji, holding a bouquet of flowers. In front of her father's grave, she recalled many past events. When her father was alive, they relied on each other. Although their life was not affluent, her father rarely restricted her and gave her guidance in painting. When he saw Chen Xiao Man struggling with painting without any ideas, he asked her to play with clay for a while. Her father was an artist throughout his life, gentle and refined. If it weren't for an illness, perhaps he could have provided her with more guidance now.
Aunt Xu Man went to Chen Xiao Man's uncle's place specifically to investigate whether Chen Xiao Man had fired the "Cloudy Skies and Clear Snow" by herself. She was convinced that it was indeed Chen Xiao Man's solo creation. In the evening, she called Chen Xiao Man to celebrate together. Taking advantage of the fact that the whole family was present, Chen Hua Feng proposed that Chen Xiao Man join the company. Although Aunt Xu Man wasn't very happy about it, since Chen Hua Feng had already brought it up, she reluctantly agreed.
Originally, Chen Xiao Man had made plans to go to the company with her uncle. But early in the morning, she received a call from Dun Ge regarding Yuan Yuan's matter. She immediately rushed back to Beijing. The police found a voice recorder among Yuan Yuan's belongings. Its contents revealed that Yuan Yuan had been deceived by her boyfriend. Her boyfriend repeatedly encouraged her to embezzle public funds privately. Despite risking everything for her boyfriend, he eventually abandoned her and married another wealthy girl. When Yuan Yuan found out that her boyfriend had already held a wedding ceremony with another girl, she was devastated.
Therefore, she jumped off the building because her heart was completely broken.
With things having come to this point, in addition to cursing the scumbag boyfriend, I deeply sympathize with Yuan Yuan. Chen Xiao Man told Dun Ge that she was going back to her hometown. Dun Ge knew nothing about porcelain firing and currently had no plans to follow Chen Xiao Man. So Chen Xiao Man packed her luggage and went back alone.
Aunt Xu Man quietly reminded her son, Chen Xun Tong, to be careful with Chen Xiao Man. In case Chen Xiao Man establishes a firm position in the company in the future, he could potentially face being ousted. Chen Xun Tong, who had never been scheming, became cautious upon hearing the instigation. Later, when Chen Hua Feng proposed to assign job responsibilities to Chen Xiao Man, Xu Man deliberately arranged her in the sales department.
Ke Yan visited Chen Hua Yun with a very rare porcelain bottle. Chen Hua Yun, who had seen grand gestures before, understood that the expensive gift was not the main point. Ke Yan noticed that Chen Hua Yun had no favorable impression of capital and immediately proposed to become her apprentice.
Chen Hua Yun was equally straightforward and stated that it would take ten years to become her disciple, during which there would be no cooperation with capital. Otherwise, the consequences would be grave. These conditions touched a sensitive nerve for Ke Yan, and he couldn't agree to them. He straightforwardly proposed to cooperate with Chen Hua Yun.
