Episode 6 recap: Lin Qiang and Hao Wei Face Off
In Episode 6, Xiao Xiao has a sudden inspiration and drags Lin Qiang to invite Zheng Shuai to join their poker game night. Zheng Shuai is a bit nervous, worrying that the embarrassing underwear incident will be brought up again. Lin Qiang notices his concerns and laughs it off, assuring him that's all in the past, so Zheng Shuai reluctantly agrees.
The next morning, Lin Qiang brings Zheng Shuai to report to the headquarters. As soon as the elevator opens, they run into Luo Sha, who is overly effusive towards Zheng Shuai. Lin Qiang teases him, saying Luo Sha's gift is very thoughtful, but Zheng Shuai feels uneasy about it.
On the way, they also bump into Zhu Feng Shan, who quietly tells Lin Qiang that there are issues with those two loan applications, including one that Lin Qiang approved at Long Yuan. Lin Qiang can't immediately recall which one.
At the HR department, Luo Sha first lectures Lin Qiang, warning him to be careful and not cause trouble, or else he'll be sent to set up a new branch at Qing Long Mountain. Although annoyed, Lin Qiang can only nod in agreement. Then Luo Sha turns surprisingly gentle with Zheng Shuai, even giving him a new suit to change into and sending the old one for dry cleaning. Zheng Shuai is bewildered by this sudden attention and quickly changes into the new clothes, looking for a chance to slip away.
Seeing this, Lin Qiang teases Zheng Shuai, suggesting he just accept Luo Sha's kindness. But Zheng Shuai has no interest in Luo Sha and doesn't know how to explain it. The incident soon spreads through their social circle, and everyone jokes about Zheng Shuai. Annoyed, Zheng Shuai ends up throwing away the underwear Luo Sha gave him, but Lin Qiang secretly retrieves it.
Meanwhile, Hao Wei sneaks to the headquarters at night to complain to Qian Cai, saying that Lin Qiang's troublemaking at Long Yuan is making his life miserable. He's anxious about those two loan applications and asks Qian Cai to transfer Lin Qiang out. Although Qian Cai thinks the loans are fine, Hao Wei insists on taking action.
At the same time, Zheng Shuai is rehearsing a performance with Xiao Xiao and the others, preparing to promote it at the university.
Lin Qiang is not satisfied with their creative ideas, and wants to invite Zhang Jia Ming's daughter to play the piano to liven things up, but Zhang Jia Ming rejects the request.
It turns out that Zhang Jia Ming's daughter developed depression from being forced to practice piano, and this has become a painful issue for the Zhang family. After hearing this, Lin Qiang feels sympathetic towards Zhang Jia Ming and advises him to respect his daughter.
The team discusses Hao Wei and Zhang Jia Ming's situation, hoping for some changes.
Lin Qiang is relatively calm, thinking that Hao Wei won't give up easily and will find a way to protect himself. Zheng Shuai suspects that Hao Wei has someone backing him.
At the evidence hearing, Lin Qiang planned to expose Hao Wei, but ends up being transferred to the Central Branch on the Finance Street by President Chen Xing Yuan, who says it's a two-year training before Lin Qiang can return after Hao Wei retires.
Lin Qiang is naturally unwilling and protests on the spot. Hao Wei seizes the opportunity to counter-attack, saying Lin Qiang's loans also have problems, causing the situation to become very tense. Luckily, the head of the Audit Department, Manager Wang Tao, intervenes to investigate and summons Zhang Jia Ming to testify. Although nervous, Zhang Jia Ming presents his work log to prove he had reported the situation to Lin Qiang, but is then interrupted and dismissed by Chen Xing Yuan.
Hao Wei continues to attack Lin Qiang, but Manager Wang Tao ignores him and has Zhu Feng Shan go check the surveillance footage.
Anxious, Hao Wei starts to verbally attack Zhang Jia Ming, suspecting he took bribes from Lin Qiang. Zhang Jia Ming can only endure in silence, unable to speak his mind.
Zhu Feng Shan goes to Long Yuan to gather evidence while also advising Lin Qiang to accept the transfer, saying the headquarters wants to resolve the situation smoothly.
