Episode 1 recap: Han Ting returned home and unexpectedly encountered Ji Xing.
As a small fry at Guanghua Group, in order to save up for a down payment on a new home as soon as possible, Ji Xing has been working day and night on project investigation reports recently. After finally finishing one in the wee hours, she rested briefly before hurriedly packing up her files and calling her mother. On the phone, her mother was once again inquiring about her marital status. Ji Xing's relationship with her boyfriend is stable, but she is not in a rush to get married, as saving up for a down payment is more important to her right now.
Today, hearing that the company's top management was being parachuted in, Ji Xing rushed to the subway station, only to find that the subway had a malfunction. To get to the office on time, she resorted to using a shared bicycle, her eyes wide open at every traffic light, afraid of wasting even a second. Nevertheless, she was blocked by an annoying person on the road, causing her to swerve slightly, leading an food delivery rider to accidentally scrape a luxury car in an attempt to avoid her.
The car was occupied by Han Ting, who had been dispatched from the Dongyang Group. At first, he thought the food delivery rider was simply unlucky. But in less than two minutes, Ji Xing came cycling back, breathless, explaining that she had been chasing the culprit who had caused the incident by violating traffic rules. She proactively left her contact information, offering to handle the compensation.
Ji Xing was in a hurry to get to the office, and Han Ting, seeing her in the car, was immediately captivated. This was the girl he had admired in high school, and he never imagined he would see her here. Han Ting gestured to the driver to let the matter go.
The car window was tinted with a sun-blocking film, so Ji Xing did not see the person inside. She simply turned her head and looked back gratefully, finding it strange that the car owner would be so gracious.
Ji Xing rushed to the office, only to find her supervisor presenting the detailed PPT she had painstakingly prepared. This was not the first time her supervisor had plagiarized her hard work. However, this time Ji Xing had left a little trick - she had intentionally omitted a few numbers in a professional-looking table. The seasoned Han Ting immediately spotted the issue and directly questioned the calculation method of the person presenting, leaving the plagiarist dumbfounded. Ji Xing finally had the chance to stand before everyone and thoroughly explain each detail professionally, impressing the leadership.
In the evening, the female CEO of Guanghua Group, Zeng Di, called Ji Xing and asked her to accompany her in meeting a potential client. Cautious, Ji Xing even had her close friend help her dress up for the occasion. At the banquet arranged by Zeng Di, Ji Xing was playing cards with the prospective client, and coincidentally, Han Ting was also there. Seeing Ji Xing holding the cards, Han Ting was instantly reminded of a decade ago, when he had played cards with her. She was so skilled that she would always win. The sight of this girl, brilliant as a robot, crossing paths with him again, filled Han Ting with a mix of emotions.
Ji Xing easily won a couple of hands, and the chubby man sitting next to her immediately looked at her with newfound respect. Han Ting, disliking the way the chubby man was eyeing Ji Xing, quietly called Ji Xing's boss and gently reminded him. Ji Xing was then summoned by her boss. Thanks to Ji Xing's excellent performance, the prospective client was deeply impressed. During the card game, she had introduced her company's products in a vivid and compelling manner. Although Han Ting remained silent, he inwardly admired her abilities.
