Episode 16 recap: The Huang Bing Incident is Successfully Resolved
In Episode 16, Qin Qin becomes interested in Huang Bing's wife and decides to investigate through traditional Chinese medicine. She and He Si Yue discreetly gather clues. According to the law, once Huang Bing's wife discards her trash, it becomes abandoned property, so their rummaging through the garbage does not constitute direct infringement.
After some effort, they actually make some discoveries. Qin Qin believes that He Si Yue should inform Lu Xing Yan about these findings.
Meanwhile, Shen Xing Ruo and Lu Xing Yan learn a secret about Huang Bing's long-term illness from Wang Shen Zhi. After spending time with them, Wang Shen Zhi realizes that they are not the kind of people who bully Huang Bing, as described by his wife. Feeling reassured, he shares details about Huang Bing's condition and medication, allowing them to leave without worry. Wang Shen Zhi also has his own strategy for dealing with any potential issues that may arise, relieving Shen Xing Ruo and Lu Xing Yan of concern.
After Huang Bing is discharged from the hospital, Shen Xing Ruo and Zhang Xu visit him in person. They see that Huang Bing's family is indeed struggling financially, with their home cluttered with collected plastic bottles, which weighs heavily on their hearts. Huang Bing's wife has changed her attitude significantly, clearly aware of her shortcomings and worried that the production team will hold her accountable.
However, Shen Xing Ruo's only goal is to uncover the truth. Upon learning that Huang Bing and his wife were following Jiao Jiao's advice and reached out to Qin Qin through her business card, she decides not to hold Huang Bing responsible any longer.
To express their apology and concern, Shen Xing Ruo and Zhang Xu decide to give Huang Bing a compensation of thirty thousand yuan. At first, Huang Bing feels embarrassed to accept it, but after Shen Xing Ruo's persuasion, he ultimately agrees. Shen Xing Ruo also hopes that Huang Bing can help reassure the other staff members of the production team, especially since he fell ill while working, and their support is important.
At the same time, Shen Xing Ruo proposes hiring Huang Bing's wife as a cleaner at the company. Although the pay is lower than Huang Bing's, the job offers flexible hours, making it easier for her to take care of the family. Huang Bing's wife gladly accepts this opportunity.
After returning to the office, Shen Xing Ruo and Zhang Xu decided to fire Jiao Jiao. Faced with Jiao Jiao's threats, Zhang Xu had already informed General Manager Yang in advance. As an investor, Yang naturally did not want to see the investment fail. With Zhang Xu's kind persuasion, Jiao Jiao had no choice but to leave the company in disgrace.
The production team then resumed work, and Shen Xing Ruo decided to participate in a special episode—a love segment—telling the love story of Wang Shen Zhi and Wang Da Niang. She hoped to address regrets through their story and convey the true essence of love to the audience. The production team organized a warm wedding for Wang Shen Zhi and Wang Da Niang, creating an atmosphere that was both lively and touching.
However, Lawyer Zhai and Evan seemed a bit out of place, not quite fitting into the ambiance. During a break in the program, Xu Cheng Zhou suggested they check out a nearby dock hotel, but only he, Chen Zhu, Lu Xing Yan, and Shen Xing Ruo agreed to go. Shen Xing Ruo initially wanted to decline but eventually went along with everyone.
Meanwhile, after being promoted, Qin Qin took on her first case, which did not bring immediate profits to the firm. However, her supervisor greatly appreciated her unhurried work ethic. As a lawyer, Qin Qin understood her duty was to uphold justice and minimize unnecessary litigation. Her performance satisfied her supervisor, and she became more cheerful and optimistic. She had planned to meet He Si Yue after work, but he was unavailable. However, when she accidentally saw He Si Yue with Lawyer Zhai at the end of the day, it stirred something in her heart.
