> About Is Love Recap
During a video conference, Wei Qing was being challenged by the board members, who expressed concern over the Yun Ma Group's art gallery business operating at a loss. They also mentioned the Snow Group's interest in acquiring Yun Ma Artwork. The discussion was abruptly interrupted when Zhou Shi burst into the room, demanding to know if Wei Qing had undressed her the previous night. Startled, Wei Qing quickly ended the video call.
Zhou Shi then realized the board members had likely seen her, leading to immense embarrassment and anger. She blamed Wei Qing, who retorted that she was the one who entered without knocking. Still unsettled, Zhou Shi pressed Wei Qing for details about the previous night. Wei Qing explained that after Zhou Shi had gone to give a calligraphy gift to Li Ming Cheng, he found her drunk.
He had intended to take her home, but she insisted on coming to his house to continue drinking. She subsequently fell into the swimming pool, and he rescued her, brought her to a room, and had the housekeeper change her clothes, as Zhou Shi had vomited on herself. Reassured that nothing untoward had occurred, Zhou Shi praised Wei Qing as a gentleman, contrasting it with her previous negative perceptions of him. She agreed to continue interacting, but strictly as friends.
During breakfast, Wei Qing saw a notification on his phone, revealing that Li Ming Cheng had applied for Yun Ma Group's annual talent scheme. Wei Qing expressed skepticism, noting Li Ming Cheng's physics background and lack of competitive experience for a business role. Zhou Shi, however, passionately defended Li Ming Cheng, urging Wei Qing to grant him a personal interview.
Despite his policy of never personally interviewing candidates, Wei Qing relented to Zhou Shi’s persistent pleas, agreeing to the interview but emphasizing Li Ming Cheng's success would depend solely on his own merit. Meanwhile, Bi Qiu Jing discovered that Zhou Shi's phone location had remained stationary since the previous night, concluding she had stayed at Wei Qing's house. While she was discussing Zhou Shi's whereabouts, Li Ming Cheng secretly hacked her computer and deleted the location tracking code.
Undeterred, Bi Qiu Jing quickly updated her system with an upgraded code, commenting on Li Ming Cheng's foolishness. Shortly after, Li Ming Cheng texted Bi Qiu Jing, inviting her to unbox a newly arrived planetarium projector with him. As they lay together on the floor, enchanted by the projector's vivid display of stars and meteor showers, Bi Qiu Jing explained her lifelong dream of being a seafarer, which was thwarted by her parents' insistence on a bachelor's degree.
She recounted how she reluctantly chose chemistry at Guang Hua Academy as a recommended student, and even took the college entrance exam just for the "experience," missing the Chinese exam due to seafood poisoning that required a stomach pump. She playfully asserted that studying should be "fun," a perspective that began to influence Li Ming Cheng. Soon after, Li Ming Cheng received a call for an interview at Yun Ma Group that very afternoon.
Wei Qing later suggested Zhou Shi consider working as a front desk receptionist at Yun Ma. Zhou Shi was hesitant, feeling she shouldn't betray Ning Fei's kindness, as he had helped her get the gallery job. Wei Qing, sensing her connection to Ning Fei and probing their relationship, gave her a day to decide, implying he wouldn't always be so generous.
Later, Zhou Shi discovered numerous missed calls and returned one to Lin Feifei, who scolded her for staying out all night. Zhou Shi reassured her she was fine and promised to treat their friends to barbecue. Wei Qing, overhearing her conversation, commented on Lin Feifei's loud voice. Meanwhile, Teacher Xiao found Zhou Shi, who initially tried to avoid him, fearing he was chasing her for tuition fees.
To her joyous surprise, Teacher Xiao announced that Yun Ma Group had increased its scholarship amounts, and after deducting her outstanding tuition, a significant surplus remained. Overwhelmed with relief and happiness, Zhou Shi immediately called Wei Qing to express her profound gratitude for the timely scholarship. Wei An reported to Wei Qing that Yun Ma Artwork's stock price had crashed.
He explained that a rumor had circulated online the previous night, stating that Yun Ma Group intended to sell Yun Ma Artwork as a negative asset. This led to a significant sell-off by stockholders when the market opened. Upon discovering the source of the large sell orders, Wei Qing was stunned to realize his own mother, He Yun, was responsible. Wei An suggested contacting Xue Zi directly, as He Yun would likely avoid him.
Li Ming Cheng arrived for his interview with Wei Qing, expressing nervousness at the Chairman's personal presence. Wei Qing acknowledged his impressive academic record in physics but questioned his shift to a completely new field. Li Ming Cheng candidly admitted he was only skilled at exam techniques, not true academic talent, and believed his opportunistic approach aligned with the boldness and quick thinking required in finance.
He revealed he'd been preparing for this for months and genuinely wanted to join Yun Ma because Wei Qing was his idol, praising Wei Qing's ability to transform a debt-ridden company into a comprehensive conglomerate in just ten years. Wei Qing dismissed the flattery, asking for a concrete reason to hire him.
Li Ming Cheng then presented a detailed analysis of Yun Ma, noting its success in other areas but persistent negative publicity and financial struggles in Yun Ma Artwork, save for the signing of artist Xun Ran. He offered a comprehensive proposal for Yun Ma Artwork's investment direction.
Impressed by his thorough preparation and understanding that Li Ming Cheng sought a role in the investment department, Wei Qing immediately hired him, instructing him to start the next day and stating he wanted Li Ming Cheng to "wake up" the ignorant company staff. Zhou Shi gathered her roommates, Lin Feifei and Bi Qiu Jing, along with Ning Fei and Li Ming Cheng for a hot pot celebration.
Zhou Shi tried to serve Li Ming Cheng, but he insisted on getting food from her while showing more attention to Bi Qiu Jing. Li Ming Cheng announced that he had secured a job at Yun Ma Group, revealing that Wei Qing himself interviewed him, which he correctly attributed to Zhou Shi's intervention.
He explained his decision to join Yun Ma, abandoning his initial plans for academia, was inspired by someone's advice to focus on enjoying the process rather than just winning or losing. Everyone raised a toast to his new career. Suddenly, Zhang Ran Yu arrived and announced she also got a job at Yun Ma, specifically in the administrative department, making her Li Ming Cheng's colleague.
Bi Qiu Jing and Lin Feifei reacted with annoyance, trying to hurry Zhang Ran Yu away. Provoked, Zhou Shi then stood up and declared that she too would be joining Yun Ma, though in a front desk position, much to the surprise of Li Ming Cheng and the others.
Zhou Shi returned home and informed Ning Fei of her decision to resign from the art gallery and join Yun Ma, explaining that Li Ming Cheng and Zhang Ran Yu would also be working there. Ning Fei supported her choice, stating she should do whatever makes her happy. The next day, as Zhou Shi prepared to submit her resignation at the gallery, she encountered Xue Zi. Xue Zi, despite a previous meeting, didn't recognize Zhou Shi.
They bonded over their shared appreciation for Xun Ran's art. Xue Zi, having studied his works extensively, revealed a secret: Xun Ran subtly embeds the character "Ran" into every one of his paintings, a detail most overlook. Zhou Shi was astonished and confirmed it upon inspection. Xue Zi also casually mentioned that the gallery was soon to have a new owner, a comment that intrigued Zhou Shi.
Later that evening, at a convenience store, Ning Fei quibbled with Lin Feifei about her excessive purchases, questioning if they could fit it all in the fridge or even carry it home without a car. Lin Feifei playfully teased him about his wealth. Their bickering was interrupted by the arrival of He Wei, who expressed surprise at seeing Lin Feifei in a supermarket.
He Wei then suggested they share a shopping cart due to the narrow aisle, explicitly stating it was an excuse to get "closer," much to Lin Feifei's obvious delight. He revealed the large quantity of meat he bought was for his cat. After submitting her resignation, Zhou Shi saw Wei Qing and Xue Zi engaged in a conversation and discreetly hid to listen.
Xue Zi, acknowledging Wei Qing's proposal, stated that Snow Group's intended acquisition of Yun Ma Artwork was a headquarters decision and that her influence was limited. Wei Qing challenged this, asserting that given Yun Ma's scale, such an acquisition wouldn't require headquarters approval, implying Xue Zi had more power as the presumed heir of Snow Group.
Xue Zi retorted that if Wei Qing truly wished to halt the acquisition, he should first persuade his mother, He Yun, to cease her massive stock sell-off, which she claimed was the real impetus. Xue Zi also revealed a rumor that Wei Qing himself intended to separate Yun Ma's art gallery operations and terminate artist contracts, which would explain He Yun's desperation.
Wei Qing vehemently denied these allegations, emphasizing the gallery's importance as Yun Ma's origin and his father's legacy, and the artists as invaluable assets. He dismissed the claims as rumors, perhaps fueled by his mother's misunderstanding. Xue Zi then brought up another rumor: Wei Qing's strained relationship with the prominent artist Xun Ran and his past threat to sell the gallery established for him.
Suddenly, a noise from behind the wall revealed Zhou Shi, who had accidentally knocked something over while eavesdropping. Xue Zi, noticing Zhou Shi, abruptly concluded their discussion. She bid Wei Qing farewell with a kiss on the cheek, whispering her preference for "more intimate cooperation" with him rather than just focusing on Yun Ma Artwork. After Xue Zi departed, Zhou Shi was surprised to see Wei Qing's neck and ears covered in red rashes.
