In episode 29, Sheng Ni Na feels deeply grateful to Cheng Hui for fixing her telescope and decides to invite him along with Feng Wei Ran and Jiang Shi Yan for a nice di..To her surprise, their usual steakhouse is closedTo ensure they can all gather, Cheng Hui arranges for a Western chef to host the dinner at a cozy place called You Ruan Ju He specifically instructs Feng Wei Ran that tonight, the gathering is just for them and no outsiders
During the meal, Feng Wei Ran jokingly mentions that Cheng Hui will definitely order "Filet Mignon" since that's his online name. Hearing this, Sheng Ni Na suddenly realizes that Cheng Hui was the one who helped her gather the evidence against the hacker and reported it to the authorities. After dinner, she can't help but ask Cheng Hui why he always does things without expecting anything in return. Cheng Hui gazes at her and asks if she’s ready to hear the answer.
This question makes Sheng Ni Na's heart race; she understands Cheng Hui's feelings but chooses to keep her emotions to herself and savor them quietly.
After the meal, Sheng Ni Na leaves first, while Cheng Hui stays behind, holding a beer and staring at the starry sky, lost in thought. Jiang Shi Yan approaches him, and they begin to talk about the stars. Cheng Hui reflects on how some stars can see each other yet merely pass by in parallel, making even the thought of getting close feel like a luxury. Jiang Shi Yan reassures him that stars have their own magnetic fields, and one day, they might be drawn together, changing their paths.
Meanwhile, Tang Yang hears that Lin Jie from the HR department has extensive experience in banking, so he seeks her help to find clues about Xu Shan Shan. Lin Jie only recalls that Xu Shan Shan joined the company in 2019 and was unexpectedly transferred after two years, with no warning as the decision came directly from above.
On a different note, Zhou Mo is busy seeking financing for Jiang Shi Yan's company. Feng Wei Ran invites him to discuss potential collaboration, but Zhou Mo politely declines. Feeling dejected, Zhou Mo stands outside a familiar restaurant, reminiscing about the times he dined there with Xu Shan Shan. When she first joined the company, she treated him to a meal with her first paycheck as a thank-you and motivation to earn more.
Back at the office, Zhou Mo reports to his female supervisor about his interactions with Yi Xiu. She becomes concerned, and Zhou Mo suggests they could fabricate a contract, which impresses her as both ambitious and daring.
Just then, Gan Yi Ming rushes in, reminding her that Tang Yang is investigating a loan case related to Xu Shan Shan, which could uncover the truth. Alarmed, the supervisor decides to give Tang Yang a warning, but Zhou Mo nearly jumps at the word "scare," fearing it could lead to serious trouble.
The supervisor laughs and reassures him that it’s just a scare tactic, noting that Xu Shan Shan's case is an exception. For safety, Zhou Mo arranges to meet Tang Yang early to tip her off, providing key leads: Yuan Chi, Sun Zhenxi, and Liao Shuang. All three were involved in approving the large loan and left the company shortly after.
Tang Yang is shocked to learn that the money ultimately flowed into several fictitious company accounts and then vanished without a trace, leaving no direction for investigation. The truth behind this situation seems more complicated and darker than she had imagined.
