Episode 6 recap: # Zheng Xiang Yang and the Team's Efforts
In Episode 6, Zheng Xiang Yang and his team hold a meeting where Xia Mei Zhen points out that the opposition to installing an elevator isn't just from Old Feng in Building 6; others in different buildings are also against it. He Jing Yun notes that the conflict between Old Feng and the residents upstairs has been ongoing for a while, making it difficult to resolve.
Xia Mei Zhen urges Zheng Xiang Yang and his team to continue their outreach. Residents from other buildings have installed elevators, which has led to disputes with those in Building 6. They argue that the elevators emit radiation and impact their lives, demanding that the installation be halted. The workers attempting to install the elevator find themselves unable to proceed and are stuck. Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiang Yang and his team rush over to address the situation.
Zheng Xiang Yang calls Engineer Wang for professional advice. Wang confirms that while elevators do emit some radiation, it is minimal and not harmful to humans. Even after hearing this, the residents remain skeptical, insisting they need to discuss the matter further with Old Feng. In the chaos, Zheng Xiang Yang's phone gets knocked to the ground.
When Zheng Xiang Yang approaches Old Feng, he finds him exercising. Old Feng mentions that it’s fortunate there are cameras around, or there could be serious consequences. During their conversation, Old Feng expresses his long-held grievances that he has never voiced before. He feels that Zheng Xiang Yang is only focused on his job and disregards Old Feng's feelings. Zheng Xiang Yang points out that he advised Old Feng not to attend the meeting, but Old Feng insists he needed to speak up about the radiation concerns, which scared everyone.
He Jing Yun informs Zheng Xiang Yang that they investigated and found out that Old Feng lives on the first floor, where the sewage system frequently gets clogged. Old Feng has been paying for repairs himself, often dealing with debris like vegetable scraps and hair. Given this situation, it’s understandable that he would be frustrated. He Jing Yun reflects that behind every temperamental person, there lies a story of hardship.
Jiang Chuan advises Zheng Xiang Yang to approach Old Feng with care, recognizing that he is quite pitiful. When Zheng Xiang Yang goes back to talk to Old Feng about the sewage issues, Old Feng, having had a bit to drink, opens up about his frustrations.
He Jing Yun and Jiang Chuan gather the residents to discuss the sewage problems, presenting all the receipts related to the repairs. Mr. Zhao believes Jiang Chuan and the others are there to collect debts. Jiang Chuan clarifies the situation, and one resident mentions that she is also aware of the sewage issues and has disposed of items down the drain. She argues that it’s fair for everyone to share the costs.
Others agree, acknowledging that they’ve also contributed to the problem. Zheng Xiang Yang approaches Mr. Zhao, suggesting they should be more understanding of his feelings. Old Feng’s wife voices concerns about everyone discussing compensating for the damages. Old Feng is taken aback, stating he never intended to raise the issue and wonders how they can remain neighbors if they’re now discussing compensation.
Eventually, Old Feng approaches Zheng Xiang Yang and agrees to sign the permission for the elevator installation. He clarifies that he initially intended to sign, but his earlier remarks were made inebriated, so he asks Zheng Xiang Yang not to take them to heart. With the elevator now installed, everyone gathers around, thrilled that their daily comings and goings will be much more convenient.
