Chen Fang used Xue Xiaozhou to fire Hu Manli, which Xue Xiaozhou found very unfair. He went to Jin Zhenhua to complain, but was counterattacked by Chen Fang. Xue Xiaozhou quit in a huff and left Nanyang Insurance Company. Taiying International Insurance Company was recruiting widely, and Xue Xiaozhou successfully joined the company and was assigned to Tang Ling's team. The team had over twenty insurance salespeople, all of whom seemed incredibly energetic.
As a newcomer, Tang Ling immediately gave him a difficult time and even assigned him to work in the hallway. Xue Xiaozhou went out to sell insurance but hit roadblocks everywhere. He didn't get home until very late. Hu Manli was fired by the company, and Chen Fang and his wife reported her to the insurance association. Hu Manli was prohibited from working in the insurance industry for two years. Hu Manli was unwilling to give up.
She partnered with her assistant, Wang Chunlu, offering all the client resources she had accumulated over twenty years and agreeing to a 70/30 split. Unexpectedly, Wang Chunlu secretly contacted the clients behind her back. Hu Manli was furious. Unable to swallow her anger, Hu Manli went directly to confront Wang Chunlu. Wang Chunlu made various excuses and argued eloquently. Hu Manli, in a fit of anger, chased her away. Hu Manli went to Zhong Ning to pour out her grievances.
She had found a few other insurance agents and asked Zhong Ning to pretend to be a client to test them. Zhong Ning advised her to rest assured for two years, but Hu Manli only had a hundred thousand yuan on hand, and her monthly mortgage was as high as twenty thousand. She dared not be negligent in the slightest. Ding Zhiyuan drove to pick up Ding Daer from school and took him and Qiu Lisu out for dinner.
Ding Daer came home very late. When Hu Manli learned that Qiu Lisu not only ate with them but also bought Ding Daer a game console, she advised Ding Daer to return the game console to Qiu Lisu. Ding Daer adamantly refused. Hu Manli was so angry she gritted her teeth.
She immediately called Ding Zhiyuan to question him, and also brought up the fact that Qiu Lisu caused her to lose her job and was keeping a younger man outside. Ding Daer saw that Hu Manli and Ding Zhiyuan were having a cold war and immediately sent a message asking Ding Zhiyuan to come home for dinner tomorrow night. Hu Manli felt it was unnecessary. She spent a large sum of money to enroll Ding Daer in a winter camp.
Ding Zhiyuan felt bad when he heard Hu Manli was unemployed and wanted to help her. Qiu Lisu guessed that Hu Manli had said bad things about her and repeatedly explained that Xue Xiaozhou was the son of her ex-husband, Xue Runnian. Ding Zhiyuan no longer pursued the matter. Qiu Lisu asked Ding Zhiyuan to write a preface for an author, which Ding Zhiyuan was very reluctant to do, but couldn't resist Qiu Lisu's persistent efforts.
Zhong Ning posed as a client to approach the potential partners Hu Manli had selected. They all tried to bypass Hu Manli and sign deals privately with Zhong Ning, and they also badmouthed Hu Manli. Hu Manli once again saw the ugliness of human nature. She used all the money she had on hand to pay the mortgage and decided to sell her beloved bags to help with the emergency.
Wang Xue took a liking to the bag Hu Manli was selling, but she didn't have that much money. She asked Ding Zhiyuan to put in a good word with Hu Manli for installment payments. Ding Zhiyuan had no choice but to admit that he and Hu Manli had already separated. Xue Xiaozhou worked hard selling insurance every day from early morning to late night, but hadn't closed a single deal.
Tang Ling gave him an ultimatum: if he didn't close a deal by the end of the month, he should leave automatically. She even publicly snatched the coffee cup from his hand and threw it in the trash to embarrass him. After work, Xue Xiaozhou stopped to buy the cake that Wu Ya loved. Wu Ya proudly posted a picture of the cake on her social media, and her friends quickly liked it.
Wu Ya asked Xue Xiaozhou to play ball with the hospital leaders on the weekend to leverage their connections for developing insurance clients. Xue Xiaozhou reluctantly agreed. Ding Zhiyuan was unhappy about Hu Manli's situation. Qiu Lisu showed him great care and concern. Ding Zhiyuan was worried that Ding Daer would suffer with Hu Manli and wanted to help her. Qiu Lisu proactively offered to help Hu Manli.
Hu Manli spread her bags all over the bed, letting clients choose freely. Qiu Lisu suddenly came to disrupt, driving away all the clients. She asked her secretary Jiajia to buy all the bags for a hundred thousand yuan. Hu Manli was so angry she gritted her teeth and cursed at Qiu Lisu.
Qiu Lisu reminded Hu Manli not to let Ding Daer suffer with her and deliberately flaunted how much she and Ding Zhiyuan loved each other in front of Hu Manli. Hu Manli stubbornly wanted to chase Qiu Lisu away. Qiu Lisu gave Hu Manli one minute to think clearly. After much consideration, Hu Manli had to agree to sell all the bags to Qiu Lisu. Qiu Lisu told Jiajia to get rid of the bags. Hu Manli watched as Jiajia threw her beloved bags into a large bag, and her heart ached.
