At the dorm, Duan Jiabao complained to Jiang Xiaoguo about her exhausting new job, feeling she was either going to be fired or stuck with undesirable tasks, and expressed envy for Jiang Xiaoguo's smoother start. Jiang Xiaoguo reminded her of their dorm motto, "Eat well and sleep well; that’s how you keep going faced with failures," and shared her cereal.
Meanwhile, Luo Yan, who was meant to study with a friend, learned her friend also hadn't woken up, so they rescheduled their study session. At work, Jiang Xiaoguo's colleagues discussed her new placement in Yang Xiaorong's project group. One colleague praised Yang Xiaorong as kind, patient, and a founding employee, suggesting Jiang Xiaoguo had a bright future. However, Wendy revealed that Yang Xiaorong had been sidelined due to pregnancy and her generally average work ability, rarely leading significant projects.
Wendy suggested Yang Xiaorong might rely more heavily on her immediate team, advising Jiang Xiaoguo to work hard, stating, "It's better to be the best in a bad group than to be the worst in a good group." Yang Xiaorong then met with Jiang Xiaoguo, acknowledging her outstanding performance in tests and expressing high expectations.
Instead of assigning a specific project, Yang Xiaorong tasked Jiang Xiaoguo with finding good business proposals by sifting through a massive volume of emails, summarizing each company’s highlights, core team, and financial growth—a daunting task that Jiang Xiaoguo later felt was like "digging up gold out of garbage." Later, Judy, another colleague in Jiang Xiaoguo's group, returned from a successful business trip, having secured a major project.
Wendy informed Jiang Xiaoguo that Judy had gained company recognition after Yang Xiaorong's pregnancy and might soon be promoted to vice president, making Jiang Xiaoguo envious and inspiring her. After work, Judy invited Jiang Xiaoguo to dinner, which Jiang Xiaoguo readily accepted after seeing Yang Xiaorong leave. As they left, Su Hang and Zhou Xun observed them.
Su Hang remarked on Jiang Xiaoguo's social skills, but Zhou Xun critically countered that networking was useless without excelling at one's primary job, which Su Hang found too harsh. Duan Jiabao called Jiang Xiaoguo, lamenting her own work situation where she had to "work with the artist’s dog" and "pick up its poop." She then received a call from Manager Qian, expecting to be scolded.
Earlier, Manager Qian had told another employee that he expected Duan Jiabao to "be back crying" from her business trip with the notoriously difficult artist Ouyang Yushuang, believing that those who couldn't handle such challenges weren't fit for the company. Duan Jiabao recounted to Jiang Xiaoguo (on the phone) that she was indeed assigned to a business trip to Kunming to manage an artist, anticipating it would be the "most troubling artist" because Manager Qian disliked her.
She later complained to her brother over the phone that it was her "first time carrying others’ stuff since I was born." However, upon her return, Manager Qian was shocked to see Ouyang Yushuang praising Duan Jiabao as "so sensible/thoughtful" and declaring that Duan Jiabao would be her permanent assistant, refusing to work with anyone else. Duan Jiabao then casually retrieved Ouyang Yushuang’s forgotten phone, showing their unexpectedly good rapport. Liang Shuang found video editing tutorials "so hard."
Despite a colleague pointing out her "procrastinating" before a meeting, Liang Shuang declared, "Work as you want, I'm just going to sit and look good." A male colleague, who was interested in her, offered her bakery coupons, knowing she didn't like sweets. She gave the coupons to another person.
She asked someone to help her edit videos, presumably the interested male colleague, who later sent her a professionally edited video, trimmed from thirty minutes to eight, with added lighting, captions, and music. He then invited her to a romance movie, but Liang Shuang declined, citing her busy schedule. During a company meeting, while presenting a joint promotion, Liang Shuang, a new intern, struggled to answer a question.
However, Manager Fang recognized her from the viral bus video, praising her bravery and righteousness, and suggested her company should "put more effort on people like her." Liang Shuang's director also acknowledged her video's viral success and trending status, and proposed changing her personal Weibo account to a company-certified profile for promotional purposes, making Liang Shuang realize the unexpected value of her online presence.
Later, Liang Shuang received numerous calls and messages from various companies, including Taobao A-list and Weixi Skincare, offering brand ambassador and advertising collaboration opportunities. Yu, the marketing director of Weixi Skincare, directly reached out, saying Liang Shuang's "vibe" matched their brand, and Liang Shuang eagerly agreed to discuss a partnership. Meanwhile, at the dorm, Duan Jiabao told Jiang Xiaoguo that Luo Yan had been quiet and isolated since returning.
Jiang Xiaoguo, feeling deeply apologetic, confessed her guilt for encouraging Liang Shuang to post the video and for tagging influencers, explaining she only wanted to "punish that pervert" and never intended for things to escalate. She urged Luo Yan to express her feelings, offering to be scolded.
Luo Yan, however, remained calm, stating she was "fine," "mentally ready to take it," and dismissed the online haters as merely "venting about shitty things in their lives," quoting "Ajin manga": "I'm not the problem. The world is." Both Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao were surprised by her composure, though later that night, Luo Yan secretly checked the news about herself online. The next morning, the online situation worsened. Jiang Xiaoguo noticed an increase in hate comments targeting Luo Yan.
A trending news report characterized the bus incident as a "Farmer and the Viper" story, praising Liang Shuang but "blaming the ungrateful student" (Luo Yan) for her reaction. A viral meme explicitly labeled Luo Yan as a "student of South China University of Finance" who "stands with the pervert and beats up the ones trying to help her." Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao were horrified, realizing they had tagged the influencer responsible for this meme.
Liang Shuang, hearing their distressed conversation, criticized them for being loud and "overreacting" while the "victim is still sleeping here." Despite Luo Yan appearing to sleep calmly, Jiang Xiaoguo insisted they "need to think of a way to help her." Luo Yan's mother, Wei, a lawyer, saw the video and sent her secretary, Wang, to pick up Luo Yan from school. On the way, Luo Yan asked Wang if her mother knew about the video, hoping for comfort.
However, in her mother's office, Luo Yan discovered her mother had bought conservative clothes for her, realizing that her mother expected her to change rather than offering emotional support. Feeling misunderstood, Luo Yan quietly wished her late father were there. At the fencing team practice, the coach announced that Mojie, the team captain, would represent them in the national college fencing tournament. Duan Zhenyu protested, arguing that he had won the tryout.
The coach explained that Mojie, though missing the tryout due to exams, was an "experienced player." Unwilling to accept, Duan Zhenyu challenged Mojie to a match, with the loser either quitting the tournament or the team. Duan Zhenyu won the match, but the coach still refused to give him the spot, stating it was a "team decision."
Later, Mojie found Duan Zhenyu, telling him he had talked to the coach and would give his tournament spot to Duan Zhenyu, acknowledging Duan Zhenyu's superior skill and better chance of winning. However, Mojie relayed the coach’s message: "Your problem is not your skills, but your attitude. You're arrogant and underestimate your opponents. That's the biggest taboo in a match. Do you understand?" Duan Zhenyu, however, was only happy to receive the qualification for the competition.
