> Resúmenes de The Epoch of Miyu
Xu Miyu meets with Ji Feng after work to repay the money she borrowed. As they walk along the Huangpu River, Ji Feng thanks her for her quick thinking in finding the local linen supplier, which resolved the hotel's recent crisis. He mentions that the shipment previously stuck in customs has also been moved into the warehouse, noting that in Shanghai’s humid climate, having an extra set of linens is a wise precaution.
During their conversation, Ji Feng reveals that he spent many years working as an attendant at Purong Hotel himself. He admits that while this is his first time as General Manager, it is also Miyu’s first time as a supervisor, and he suggests they support one another as they grow into their new roles.
Miyu confesses her concern that receiving a large bonus for her help has caused resentment among the other attendants, who now view her as a "relationship hire" with unfair connections. Ji Feng points out that her people-pleasing nature will eventually lead to her being taken advantage of, and he offers to let her return the bonus if it truly bothers her.
However, Miyu stands her ground, stating that if he was bold enough to give it, she is bold enough to keep it. Ji Feng finds her spirit refreshing and offers a piece of advice: until she has established her own professional authority, being perceived as a person with "connections" can actually be a useful "cheat code" to keep others in line. At a subsequent management meeting, Ji Feng addresses the financial fallout from the linen disaster.
He decides that Feng Kaixin, the Director of Housekeeping, must bear responsibility for the loss. Despite other managers pleading for leniency, Ji Feng remains firm, sentencing Feng Kaixin to the loss of a quarterly bonus, a major demerit, and a public reprimand. This marks the beginning of a strict internal self-inspection at Purong. Traditional standards are restored, including the placement of fresh jasmine flowers to ensure guests have a premium sensory experience.
The atmosphere in the housekeeping department remains tense as Miyu tries to implement these higher standards. When she assigns Xiaojia to clean rooms, Xiaojia attempts to avoid the work by faking a headache and then menstrual cramps. Miyu, refusing to be manipulated, tells Xiaojia that if her health is truly that poor, she should get a doctor's note or speak with HR about resigning.
Fearing for her job, Xiaojia reluctantly goes to work, but Miyu later catches her rifling through a guest's handbag. When Miyu reprimands her, Xiaojia lashes out, accusing Miyu of only being a supervisor because she knows how to flatter the bosses, before walking off the job. While managing the floor, Miyu assists a guest looking for an art exhibition. The guest is Tan Jizhou (Kevin), the son of the elderly Daniel Tan.
Kevin is impressed by Miyu's knowledge of art and her hospitality. He offers her a business card and suggests he could help her find a more prestigious role in the art world. Miyu politely declines, explaining that she finds genuine value in making guests feel at home at Purong. Later that night, Miyu encounters a drunken Ji Feng and helps him back to his room. In his intoxicated state, he thanks her for staying at the hotel.
Ji Feng’s efforts to audit the hotel's books are met with resistance from the Finance Department. Finance Director Huang avoids him, leaving Accounting Supervisor Gao Fan to deliver carts of dusty, brittle ledgers in an attempt to overwhelm him. However, Ji Feng finds an ally in Xue Rui, the Daily Audit Supervisor.
During a farewell dinner before he leaves for a new job in Guilin, Xue Rui gives Ji Feng a hidden ledger he kept from his time as the former Accounting Supervisor. Describing himself as a "ghost" in the department whose career was sidelined for knowing too much, he leaves Ji Feng with the real records to help him navigate the hotel's financial labyrinth.
The situation at the hotel takes a dark turn when a guest in room 1817, Ms. Wang, claims a one-carat diamond ring has been stolen. She points the finger at Xiaojia, who was the last person seen in the room. Ji Feng and Miyu investigate as the guest demands 100,000 yuan in immediate compensation to avoid calling the police.
Miyu pulls Xiaojia aside, and the young attendant tearfully admits she only looked at the ring out of curiosity—noting it looked like a fake she saw online—but insists she did not steal it. Miyu notices the guest is more interested in a cash payout than finding the truth. Recalling Ji Feng’s advice about using her "connections," Miyu bluffs the engineering staff into removing the toilet in the room, claiming it is an urgent order from the General Manager.
Miyu personally reaches into the pipes and retrieves the ring. When Miyu suggests they send the ring for a formal appraisal to verify its value for the hotel's records, Ms. Wang panics. Knowing the ring is indeed a fake, she quickly snatches it back and checks out to avoid further scrutiny. In the aftermath, Xiaojia is incredibly grateful to Miyu for saving her.
Miyu holds a meeting for the housekeeping staff, formally deducting Xiaojia's bonus for violating regulations by touching guest property, which Xiaojia accepts. However, Miyu then surprises the team by distributing her own previous bonus among them via digital red envelopes, labeling it as "overtime pay" for their hard work. This gesture finally bridges the gap between Miyu and her subordinates. However, the peace is short-lived as Ji Feng is informed that the recent scandals have led major corporate clients to cancel their bookings and refuse contract renewals.
