Episode 12 recap: Wang Gang Just Collected a Kickback
In Episode 12, Su Li is drinking coffee when she overhears Wang Wei De criticizing a script she wrote, claiming it's poorly written. Later, she runs into Wang Wei De again and reveals that she is the writer he was talking about. Surprised to meet her in person, Wang Wei De notices that Su Li's high heels are broken and offers to help her get home, expressing his desire to learn screenwriting from her.
Su Li declines his offer. When she steps outside, she finds a gift waiting for her, which turns out to be from Wang Wei De. Wang Gang Gang arrives and discusses the day’s schedule with Su Li. Su Li remarks that one hour for the script meeting won’t be enough and suggests postponing dinner to the following day.
Wang Gang Gang insists that the schedule has already been arranged and offers to go in her place since she is familiar with the project. Su Li agrees. When Wang Gang Gang meets with the producer, she purposely mentions that Su Li isn’t taking this collaboration seriously. The producer urges Wang Gang Gang to convince Su Li, stressing that if the project falls through after all the effort he has put in, it would be disastrous.
Wang Gang Gang expresses her frustration, saying she only earns a few thousand dollars a month and shouldn't have to worry about this. The producer reassures her that he won’t let her work for nothing. Meanwhile, Wang Wei De continues to shower Su Li with kindness, but she rejects all of his gestures.
Wang Wei De believes Su Li shouldn’t shut herself off from others just because of a past relationship. He decides to apply for an assistant position at her company, arguing that he meets the age and educational requirements and is passionate about screenwriting. Su Li points out that he lacks work experience, but Wang Gang Gang thinks he might be worth a shot.
Wang Gang Gang takes advantage of her position to collect kickbacks, giving the money to Shen Cha Ren to help pay off debts. Despite her actions, Wang Gang Gang feels guilty, but Shen Cha Ren encourages her not to overthink it, saying he has a small project coming up and will work hard to repay her. Wang Gang Gang agrees to support him.
Zhang Shu Heng visits Chen Ying Ying, only to find out that she has moved away. Su Li receives a package and is shocked to discover photos of herself with blood on them. Zhang Shu Heng confronts Wang Gang Gang, expressing disbelief that she would betray Su Li, and wonders what will happen if Su Li finds out.
Wang Gang Gang asks Zhang Shu Heng what he wants, and he reveals that he’s planning to make a movie and needs 1 million for startup costs, promising to pay her back in a week. Otherwise, Su Li will learn about the situation. Wang Gang Gang agrees, stating they only have a week to figure this out.
