Episode 4 recap: Yuan Yuan was deceived and chose to commit suicide.
Ke Yan decisively withdrew from the Juhetou Investment, which meant losing everything he had, as the office space he rented was mortgaged against his only residential property. After Chen Xiao Man learned the ins and outs of the situation, she was extremely angry. Although Liu Shang offered her a salary twice that of her previous company, she despised working with such a despicable person and directly resigned. Liu Shang would never have expected that Chen Xiao Man, who was usually obsessed with money, would not be tempted by a high salary.
Chen Xiao Man suspected that Ke Yan must be very upset, so she went to his place to comfort him. She still considered herself the most loyal employee. Just as she arrived downstairs, she saw Ke Yan walking out with a gloomy expression and then driving away alone. Chen Xiao Man tried calling him multiple times but couldn't get through.
Yuan Yuan was deceived by her boyfriend and lost 200,000 yuan. Suddenly, one day at work, she received a debt collection notice. Her boyfriend had claimed that his parents were ill and needed 200,000 yuan for medical expenses. They agreed that it would be repaid within a week, but until now, not a single penny had been returned. Yuan Yuan immediately called her boyfriend, but he couldn't be reached. She was worried that her boyfriend might have been kidnapped. She told her roommate the whole story, and her roommate, Dun Ge, immediately suggested reporting it to the police. At the police station, Yuan Yuan felt even more desperate. The identity card her boyfriend had been using turned out to be fake, and not only that, many people had reported him to the police. It seemed that her so-called boyfriend also had a wife.
Yuan Yuan returned home in a state of despair. Chen Xiao Man immediately took out all her savings and asked Yuan Yuan to repay the debt quickly. In times of trouble, true friendship is revealed. However, Yuan Yuan refused to accept Chen Xiao Man's assistance and muttered that she would find a solution on her own, then walked into the bedroom. Dun Ge and Chen Xiao Man thought that she would be fine after a good night's sleep, but the next day they heard the news of Yuan Yuan's suicide by jumping off a building. They went to the funeral home to identify the body. Dun Ge felt weak all over, while Chen Xiao Man struggled to support herself as she entered the morgue. When she saw Yuan Yuan lying on the bed, tears welled up in her eyes.
That day, Chen Xiao Man and Dun Ge witnessed the grief-stricken appearance of Yuan Yuan's parents holding the urn. They were also filled with pain and speechlessness.
Chen Xiao Man knew that Dun Ge was also in a difficult situation, so she lent her own bank card money to Dun Ge. They were once good friends, but now only two of them remained. They didn't want to hear any more bad news. After giving her savings to Dun Ge, Chen Xiao Man received news that her uncle was sick and bought a plane ticket back to her hometown.
She had fantasized countless times about returning home in glory, and she had already saved up a considerable amount. But in the end, it was all in vain. Chen Xiao Man stood in her familiar hometown, with familiar clouds and the familiar river at the doorstep. She once again thought of the letter that Yuan Yuan had left for her, urging her to live a good life and become the person she wanted to be.
Now she realized that besides oneself, one couldn't take anything else with them. It seemed that she was alone in the world. In the hospital room, she saw her uncle who had just undergone surgery and appeared very weak. Her uncle thought that Chen Xiao Man must have gathered 500,000 yuan before coming back, and he kept praising her for being outstanding and capable.
Chen Xiao Man reluctantly dealt with it, but in her heart, she kept repeating that the promised investment might fall through. She went to see her aunt and saw how busy she was, so she agreed to stay and take care of some business at the kiln factory.
