Episode 21 recap: Xu Meng An became a key protected object.
In the evening, Yu Hai finally finished a day's work. Thinking about how Yu Chen played frisbee with his daughter during the day, Yu Hai also started searching online on how to play, but ended up straining his waist and getting out of breath. He now regrets not treating his ex-wife well in the past. Yu Hai is searching the internet for ways to become friends with his ex-wife, and even has plans to remarry. He carefully considers every method mentioned by the video blogger, who said he needs to learn to communicate and fix the small habits that his ex-wife couldn't tolerate.
While doing housework, Li Jing went to Xu Meng An's bedroom and looked at all the cosmetics on the desk. She picked out the ones that are healthy and harmless to the fetus, and couldn't help lecturing Xu Meng An that the cosmetics contain lead and mercury, which are very bad for the fetus. She then proceeded to put the cosmetics away, much to Xu Meng An's dismay. As a career woman, especially during pregnancy, Xu Meng An feels she needs to wear makeup to feel energetic.
Not only did Li Jing confiscate all of Xu Meng An's cosmetics, she also bought a radiation-proof maternity outfit and insisted that Li Lin make Xu Meng An wear it to the office. Li Lin knows his wife can't wear that at the company, but Xu Meng An, being socially adept, quickly put on the protective suit in the car before Li Jing came to check, making Li Jing very pleased to see Xu Meng An wearing the outfit she bought.
Fortunately, Xu Meng An had previously bought some cosmetic samples in the car, so she quickly touched up her makeup in the company's basement parking lot to maintain her normal appearance. Since Xu Meng An openly told her boss about her second pregnancy, the news has quickly spread in the company. Xu Meng An has gained a lot of attention, with some people praising her spirit for wanting a second child, as career elites rarely give up their hard-earned achievements to start over. Others have started currying favor with the successor, as the CEO has no longer paid as much attention to Xu Meng An since she relinquished her power.
Xu Meng An discussed with her close friend at the company that since she hasn't started her maternity leave yet, she could proactively take on more work. That way, she may be able to return to her original position after finishing her maternity leave.
However, the boss disagreed. He frankly admitted that since this is a new media company, he's completely unsure about Xu Meng An taking a half-year maternity leave, and doesn't dare to assign important work to her. He also reminded Xu Meng An not to try any tricks with the HR department, which left Xu Meng An very embarrassed.
Recently, Chen Wan Zhen used her previous professional knowledge to investigate the company's heavily promoted financial insurance products, and found many hidden issues. After carefully researching and consulting some economics-savvy friends, the situation turned out exactly as she had surmised - the debt indicators of those financial insurance products were far above the standard, and a collapse was imminent.
At work, Chen Wan Zhen saw elderly people investing their retirement savings in these financial products. She initially wanted to kindly advise them, but the people didn't appreciate it and accused her of having ill intentions. The sales manager also unilaterally decided to use half of Chen Wan Zhen's commission earnings this month to purchase financial products. Dissatisfied with the manager's arbitrary decision, Chen Wan Zhen refused to buy the financial products and firmly demanded that the manager return her rightful wages.
