Across the Ocean to See You Episode 9 Recap
> Across the Ocean to See You Recap
Su Mang and Zheng Chu went home from the amusement park. Su Mang's face was pale and her heart was pounding intensely. Zheng Chu, concerned for Su Mang, only then realized she had acrophobia. He couldn't help but blame Su Mang for going on the Ferris wheel despite knowing her fear of heights. Zheng Chu kept murmuring, "You must constantly remind yourself that you are pregnant now and must be responsible for the baby."
Su Mang asked Zheng Chu why he was still so good to her, given her cold attitude towards him these past two days. Zheng Chu was stunned for a moment, then resumed his usual playful smile and said that everyone in the building knew he was a good-natured pushover, so taking care of her was nothing out of the ordinary. The next day, in the MG company's tourism department, everyone gathered around Jiajia's computer.
The tour route "Ancient Town Phantom - Spirit of Protection" on the website had unexpectedly high click-through rates. Everyone, including Zheng Chu, hadn't expected this route to be so popular. Everyone was cheering for the success of this plan. Su Mang came in, smiling, and said, "Tonight we'll have a celebration party, I'll treat everyone to dinner." The whole room fell silent, then the office area erupted in another round of cheers.
Xiao Gu came over and teased Zheng Chu, saying, "Brother Chu, I didn't see wrong, did I? The Black Spider actually smiled." Zheng Chu smiled faintly, gazing blankly in the direction of Su Mang's office. In Tang Ming's office, Chen Shanshan came to see Tang Ming. Tang Ming said apologetically, "Shanshan, I'm sorry, last night. . ." Chen Shanshan smiled and said, "It's okay, you must have been delayed by something important, I understand.
Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future, I'll cook for you next time." Shanshan turned to leave, her face showing a resentful expression completely different from her earlier pleasant demeanor. She clenched her fists and thought to herself, "Tang Ming, yesterday was the first and last time. I will definitely not let you ignore me again." At the tourism department's celebration party, Jiajia and others saw Su Mang not drinking, feeling it wasn't fun enough.
They tried hard to persuade Su Mang to drink. Su Mang, unable to refuse, intended to take a small sip, but Zheng Chu snatched the drink away. He used the excuse that "who would pay the bill if Su Mang got drunk" to deflect the drink for her. Su Mang, displeased, secretly kicked Zheng Chu. As for Zheng Chu, he held the wine in his mouth and made a 'shushing' sound, secretly amusing Su Mang.
Tang Guoguo, to teach Zheng Chu a lesson for not accepting her confession and pushing her towards Su Chang, secretly posted a Weibo message when Tony wasn't paying attention. By the time Tony discovered it, the Weibo post was already online. Tony read the content and almost fainted. The Weibo post read: "The sky is so blue, I want to sail far away with you, my Mr. Z."
Tony quickly initiated crisis public relations, asking Guoguo to post another Weibo message saying her phone was lost or her account was hacked. In short, he wanted to control the situation as quickly as possible. However, Guoguo was indifferent. When Tang Guoguo makes up her mind, when can it be easily changed? The day after the celebration party, Zheng Chu was still sound asleep in bed. Suddenly, a phone rang, interrupting Zheng Chu's good dream.
Zheng Chu groggily answered the phone. Upon hearing the content of the call, Zheng Chu almost jumped out of bed and quickly put on his clothes. In Fei Yi's office, Zheng Chu was looking at a document with a frown. Fei Yi said, "This past week, we've received complaints that our tour guides have been privately taking guests shopping, with bad attitudes and repeatedly refusing to change. Who is responsible for arranging your tourism department's tour guides?
Call him over, I need a reasonable explanation." Zheng Chu was also surprised and said, "Our company's tour guides wouldn't make such a basic mistake." Although Zheng Chu explained, it was still unconvincing. Fei Yi then said, "Now that you mention it, I almost forgot. You, as the post-production supervisor, probably can't bear this responsibility. I'd better go find General Manager Su." Zheng Chu had no choice but to follow Fei Yi to Su Mang's office.
Su Mang had to use a lot of persuasion to convince Fei Yi to give the tourism department a bit more time, and she believed that Zheng Chu could resolve the matter well. As Zheng Chu passed by the lounge area, he unintentionally overheard Jiajia on the phone. On the call, Jiajia deliberately lowered her voice and urgently said, "Tell Jiamin, tell her not to privately take tourists shopping anymore.
I arranged for her to be a tour guide, not to take petty advantages." Zheng Chu was surprised. Jiajia was startled when she saw Zheng Chu, but Zheng Chu pretended not to hear and left. Zheng Chu went to Fei Yi's office again. He told Fei Yi that he was the post-production supervisor for this project and should bear all the responsibility.
Fei Yi sized up Zheng Chu and said, "Being responsible is a good thing, but acting on a momentary impulse, you could very likely be fired by the company." Zheng Chu thought for a moment and said, "I'll say it again, I am the post-production supervisor for the project, and I will find a way to solve it." Fei Yi gave Zheng Chu three days, and Zheng Chu reluctantly agreed.
In the office, everyone was discussing the tour guides privately taking guests shopping. Jiajia became frantic when she heard about it. Xiao Gu knew that Jiajia was the tour guide supervisor this time. When Jiajia heard that Zheng Chu had taken on the entire responsibility alone, she became even more restless. Zheng Chu was called into Su Mang's office.
Su Mang directly asked Zheng Chu, "When we went to Shaoxing, you were with me the whole time, and I clearly entrusted the tour guide matter to Jiajia. One person does the work, one person takes the blame. If supervisors have to take responsibility for every mistake made by their subordinates, then what will serve as a warning to the employees below?" Zheng Chu couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
He only said that he knew what was going on but couldn't say it because it was Jiajia's privacy. Su Mang, puzzled, continued to press him, but Zheng Chu hesitated for a moment and still refused to speak. He only said, "I will find a way to solve it. If I can't, at worst, I'll go home and be your full-time nanny." Su Mang glared at him angrily, truly at a loss for words.
At this moment, Fei Yi walked in. Employees outside were all discussing animatedly. Jiajia restlessly watched the activity in Su Mang's office, then suddenly stood up. Xiao Gu pressed her down and whispered, "Won't admitting your mistake now just make things worse? General Manager Su won't turn her elbow outwards (meaning, she won't side with outsiders against her own people). Now you see clearly, don't you? Brother Chu isn't someone who only talks the talk."
Seeing that Zheng Chu and Su Mang couldn't come up with any good solution immediately, Fei Yi offered a method he had thought of. He said to Su Mang, "Let Zheng Chu bear all the responsibility alone, and then the company will dismiss him. Externally, we'll say that he privately colluded with tour guides to take guests on tours and has been dismissed. This way, those who complained won't blame the company."
Upon hearing Fei Yi's suggestion, Zheng Chu was stunned and took a moment to recover. Su Mang listened, then scoffed disdainfully, "Is this the 'good idea' you came up with? Do you know that if we do this, Zheng Chu will be ostracized by the entire tourism industry? Since you say the problem is in our tourism department, then I, as the director, should be the first to take responsibility.
I went on the inspection with them; I also have a responsibility for not discovering the problem." Fei Yi was a bit angry. Before he could speak, Su Mang interrupted and continued, "General Manager Fei should understand the principle of unity. I will worry about my own subordinates. General Manager Fei, please leave. I will not fire Zheng Chu, nor will I fire anyone from the tourism department. Don't we still have time?
I believe my employees are capable of solving the problem." Zheng Chu looked at Su Mang, slightly surprised, then filled with gratitude. He turned to Fei Yi and said, "That's right, General Manager Fei, please leave. I'll return your words to you: each department should perform its own duties. Please, General Manager Fei, do not interfere with our tourism department's affairs." General Manager Fei left with a wry smile.
Su Mang and Zheng Chu discussed that they would call these tourists one by one that night. Su Mang would pay for the tourists' losses out of her own pocket. Su Mang and Zheng Chu were discussing follow-up work in the office when Jiajia and Xiao Gu knocked and entered. Jiajia's eyes were red and swollen, and she was in poor spirits.
She handed in her resignation letter and apologized to Su Mang for causing such big trouble for the company due to her abuse of power. She was very grateful that Zheng Chu had taken the blame for her, but she didn't want to implicate others anymore. Xiao Gu next to her couldn't help but advise Su Mang not to accept Jiajia's resignation.
It turned out that if Jiajia hadn't personally gone door-to-door to apologize, Zheng Chu and Su Mang calling alone wouldn't have solved the problem so quickly. Zheng Chu and Su Mang were both stunned. Su Mang looked deeply at Jiajia and said, "I said I wouldn't fire any employee from the tourism department. Moreover, you are a good employee who knows her mistakes and can correct them.
From now on, I don't want to see your resignation letter unless you feel you are not capable enough and cannot handle your current work, understood?" Jiajia was moved to tears. To celebrate the successful resolution of this matter, the four of them were treated to a meal by Jiajia. It was already late after dinner. Xiao Gu was responsible for taking Jiajia home.
Su Mang's car was in for maintenance, so she was waiting at the intersection for a taxi. However, she waited for a long time but couldn't get one. Zheng Chu proudly rode his bicycle, cycling past in front of Su Mang. With no other choice, Su Mang had to get on Zheng Chu's bicycle. Under the lamplight, their silhouettes were stretched very long. This night was very cold, yet very warm.
The next day, Zheng Chu noticed Su Mang coughing incessantly; she looked sickly. That night, Su Mang lay in bed, extremely thirsty, pale, and feeling cold. Zheng Chu came to knock on her door, wanting to borrow some vinegar. Su Mang opened the door but didn't reply. Zheng Chu saw that Su Mang's face looked wrong, reached out, and touched her forehead. He exclaimed, "Why are you so hot? Su Mang, get up quickly, don't sleep anymore!"
Zheng Chu wanted to take Su Mang to the hospital, but Su Mang stubbornly refused to go, vaguely saying she wouldn't go to the hospital or take medicine, as injections and medication would be bad for the baby. Zheng Chu couldn't persuade her, so he called Tang Ming for help. Tang Ming told him methods for physical cooling. Zheng Chu took Su Mang's temperature, applied a towel, and then wiped Su Mang's palms with alcohol to cool her down.
Zheng Chu was afraid Su Mang had an empty stomach, so he cooked a bowl of white rice porridge for her. Su Mang was drowsy and wouldn't eat. Zheng Chu had no choice but to prop Su Mang up and hold her in his arms, trying to spoon the porridge into her mouth. Su Mang fell asleep after only two bites. Zheng Chu felt Su Mang, and it seemed her fever had broken, but he couldn't pull his hand away.
So, he just held Su Mang like that, leaning against the headboard, and slept through the night. Tang Guoguo was surrounded by fans at the airport, so densely that not even a drop of water could get through. Just as she looked up, she saw Chen Shanshan, who had also just gotten off the plane. Guoguo deliberately walked towards Shanshan. The clamoring fan circle pushed Shanshan to the ground. Guoguo helped Shanshan up in front of everyone.
Shanshan, in a low voice, triumphantly told Guoguo that she had a date with Tang Ming tomorrow, and Tang Ming said he definitely wouldn't stand her up this time. Guoguo retorted to Shanshan, "Alright, we'll see then if you're more important or if I, your younger sister, am more important." Guoguo helped Shanshan up and said, "My dear fan, please be careful when picking up celebrities at the airport."
Guoguo cleverly used Shanshan to establish an image of herself as a star who loves her fans. Shanshan looked at Guoguo's retreating back with a resentful expression. Early the next morning, Zheng Chu got up to make chicken soup for Su Mang; his arm, which had been pressed for a night, was still aching terribly. Su Mang woke up and groggily walked out of her room.
She saw Zheng Chu leaning over in the kitchen, making chicken soup for her, and was momentarily stunned. Zheng Chu busied himself taking care of Su Mang. Su Mang, who had been shouldering everything by herself for a long time, saw Zheng Chu toiling for her and felt a ray of spring sunshine illuminate her heart. Tang Guoguo arranged to go shopping with Yan Xiaoqiu.
Tang Ming called Xiaoqiu, asking if she was free that evening, as he had something to give her. However, Xiaoqiu had to work overtime tonight. Tang Ming said, "Then let's talk about it when you're free." As soon as Xiaoqiu hung up, Guoguo pestered her, wanting her to come home with her today. Guoguo said she had no friends in the entertainment industry and wanted to experience the feeling of having an all-night talk with a best friend.
Xiaoqiu explained that she had to work overtime. Guoguo, without any explanation, pulled Xiaoqiu and left. Su Mang woke up in the morning feeling a sudden pain in her stomach. Frightened, she went to find Zheng Chu, wanting him to take her to the hospital. Zheng Chu was half-asleep but instantly became alert when he heard Su Mang say her stomach hurt. Zheng Chu floored the accelerator and drove Su Mang to the hospital.
Along the way, Zheng Chu frowned and lectured Su Mang, asking if she had eaten something she shouldn't have with her "cheap mouth." Although it was a scolding, Su Mang, for some reason, wasn't angry; instead, she felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a smile. After Su Mang's examination, the doctor said that the minor pain was normal in early pregnancy and would subside once she adapted.
The doctor mistook Zheng Chu for Su Mang's husband. Just as Zheng Chu was about to explain, Su Mang stopped him. Leaving the hospital, Zheng Chu asked Su Mang why she didn't let him explain. Su Mang feigned composure and said they didn't know the doctor, so why bother with an unnecessary explanation? The two left the hospital, chatting and laughing.
