Episode 9 recap: The sea has started his own independent business.
Liang Zi angrily asked the sea who is the boss between the two of them now. The sea told him that they initially started the shop as partners, because Liang Zi found him first and said he trusted him, so he quit his job to help him. The sea told him that he came here without any intention to squeeze out his brother, and he also didn't want to be the boss.
Moreover, it was Liang Zi who said he was tight-fisted and wanted him to manage the accounts, and he had to know where every penny went. The sea told him that now that he's involved in D, this shop can't keep running. Liang Zi just said if it can't be done then let's just quit, and the sea told him that if he's going to say that then let's just dissolve the partnership. The sea handed the account book over to Liang Zi, telling him to just give him his share of the money once he's calculated it, he doesn't want a penny more.
On his way back, the sea, feeling lost, ran into Chen Huan and told him about the incident. Chen Huan felt that the two of them never had the same goal from the start - Liang Zi wanted to make a quick buck, while the sea just genuinely wanted to help him. Chen Huan felt that they both know Liang Zi, and regardless of whether he's good or bad, his nature can't be changed by the sea.
Chen Huan asked him what he plans to do next, and the sea said he's prepared to go solo, which Chen Huan strongly supported. Chen Qing asked the sea if he's completed all the necessary procedures, and he said pretty much. The sea told her he feels a weight lifted off his chest, and now every penny he earns is his own.
Liao Qiu Qiu wanted Lin Ping Ping to work at his publishing house, but Lin Ping Ping told them her dream is to go abroad. She's now completely focused on going abroad, and when Liao Qiu Qiu asked about Chen Huan, Lin Ping Ping said it's none of her business since she's just going abroad.
Ji Hong Bing feels that Chen Huan and Lin Ping Ping's relationship is a Platonic love, and hopes Chen Huan will take the initiative to confess to Lin Ping Ping. Early in the morning, the sea went to restock, and Hu Gui Lan quickly brought him breakfast to eat on the way.
Zhu Qun Ying told Chen Qing that a couple came to talk to her at the restaurant yesterday. Chen Qing asked her what she thought about it. Qun Ying felt that she had earned 300 yuan in just a short time yesterday, and Chen Qing asked her if she felt really secure about making money.
Zhu Qun Ying asked her if she thought she was capable, and Chen Qing told her that she was very capable and there was nothing wrong with earning money through her own hands. Qun Ying told her that she only needs to cook one meal a day, and the boss will give her 50% while she keeps 30%. Chen Qing felt that Zhu Qun Ying was quite principled, and Qun Ying was worried that Lin Yi Da would be unhappy if he found out, so Chen Qing said they wouldn't tell him for now and just let him discover it later.
Lin Han Min told Liao Qiu Qiu that he would be going abroad for a few days, and Liao Qiu Qiu asked him why he was in such a hurry. He said it was something organized by his colleagues at work, and Liao Qiu Qiu also wanted to go, so she asked Lin Han Min if she could go as a translator. Lin Han Min said the arrangements had already been made, but he would try to find his friend to see if Liao Qiu Qiu could go.
After Liang Zi and Da Hai split up, Liang Zi invited his friend Fan Xue Jun to go into business with him. Fan Xue Jun also brought his girlfriend Yang Li to help them run the store, and Liang Zi knew the two of them were together. Pan Tao felt that it was Da Hai's fault that he and Liang Zi split up, and she went to tell Hu Gui Lan that Da Hai was ungrateful.
Lin Han Min returned from his month-long trip abroad and brought gifts for the whole family. He told them that this time he stayed with an ordinary family, and the household was just a regular employee, but they all lived in the same apartment building. They were curious why ordinary people could live in a high-rise, and Lin Han Min explained that Americans have different consumption habits and they often take out loans to enjoy a higher standard of living.
A year quickly passed, and Lin Ping Ping was working under her supervisor Liu Wei at the TV station, but she was not doing well there. Da Hai's store had also made a lot of money, and Chen Qing let him manage the money himself, but Da Hai felt it was better for Chen Qing to manage it. When Zhu Qun Ying was doing Lin Yi Da's laundry, she found lipstick marks on his shirt collar.
