Episode 4 recap: Ji Xing Angrily Resigns
Ji Xing was assigned by her manager to track the operation of the hospital's software. During the process, she noticed that due to a malfunction in the hospital's smart healthcare system, many patients were growing impatient. Ji Xing proactively tested the smart software system and quickly resolved the issue, allowing the hospital to operate normally again. The malfunctioning system was actually under the responsibility of Han Ting's company. When Han Ting arrived and saw that Ji Xing had single-handedly fixed the problem, he was very grateful. Ji Xing smiled and said they were now even.
The two left the hospital together, and Han Ting invited Ji Xing to ride back with him. However, Ji Xing was wary of the online gossip about them, so she politely declined, not wanting to be the subject of speculation. Han Ting understood Ji Xing's concerns and suggested she not let the rumors hold her back.
Someone informed the manager about Ji Xing's heroic actions at the hospital, hoping to use it to undermine her. But to the manager's surprise, Zeng Di harshly reprimanded the manager instead, in order to pressure Ji Xing. The manager then called Ji Xing to the office and assigned her additional work from the R&D, marketing, and sales departments, even though Ji Xing was originally from the marketing department. Ji Xing was stunned, wondering why basic-level work was now being given to her.
When Ji Xing questioned the manager, he stammered without a proper explanation, only saying that as an elite employee, she should take on more responsibilities. Ji Xing clearly remembered recently overhearing the manager's conversation, where he said he kept offering Ji Xing empty promises just to get her to work harder. Seeing the manager's increasingly unreasonable demands, Ji Xing became furious. She initially still had a glimmer of hope to appeal to Zeng Di, but unknown to her, Zeng Di had grown extremely resentful of Ji Xing after hearing the rumors about her and Han Ting, and was eager to have Ji Xing removed from the company. When Ji Xing voiced her grievances to Zeng Di, seeing his cold demeanor, she decided to firmly resign.
Upon receiving Ji Xing's resignation letter, the manager angrily demanded that she complete all her work during the one-month notice period. Fed up with the manager's attitude, Ji Xing simply threw down her work pass and left. She knew this meant forfeiting her final month's salary and bonus.
As Ji Xing was packing up to leave the company, she crossed paths with Han Ting, though they did not speak. Han Ting understood the situation and instructed Tang Song to arrange an interview for Ji Xing. Although Ji Xing was now unemployed, she was not idle - her junior colleague immediately invited her to participate in his 3D printing project, which Ji Xing was familiar with from having previously helped him with a business plan. However, she was uncertain whether she could apply her expertise there.
On this day, Ji Xing received an invitation to the "New Field Fishing Village Investigation Project", which was a grassroots field research project. At the time, Ji Xing was having lunch with her best friend, and she was hesitant about whether to go. When her friend heard about the beautiful scenery of the fishing village, she quickly suggested that Ji Xing take this opportunity to get away and unwind.
Han Ting saw the company's project schedule and specifically arranged his own schedule to be in the fishing village, hoping to have more interaction with Ji Xing. On the first day in the fishing village, Ji Xing "coincidentally" encountered Han Ting, and Han Ting suggested that she consider another development company, whose salary and benefits were not worse than her current company.
The fishing village was a relatively remote mountain village, and many villagers had delayed their treatment due to the inconvenience of going to a large hospital. Han Ting investigated the situation in the village and placed the company's "Smart Dental Assistant" in the village's medical clinic, which received a lot of praise. Ji Xing was the design engineer for this intelligent software, and she was very pleased to see her work being utilized.
Among the people Ji Xing treated, she saw an unfortunate patient who was very strong-willed, but since encountering a car accident and having one leg amputated, she was in a lot of pain due to not having the money to get a prosthetic leg. Seeing Ji Xing's expression, Han Ting realized that Ji Xing was missing her own mother.
On the second day, Ji Xing learned more about the woman who had her leg amputated due to the car accident, and she was deeply moved. She remembered that her junior had recently invited her to work on a 3D printing project, and she thought it would be so meaningful if she could make an inexpensive prosthetic leg for this unfortunate woman. In the evening, Ji Xing couldn't sleep and went to the beach alone to think about her work, when Han Ting also arrived, and the two unexpectedly encountered each other.
