Xia Zhi conducted a live stream, showcasing various products like river snail rice noodles and Besunyen, while her flight attendant hat lay discarded on the floor. When Li Yuheng returned home, she was disheartened to see Xia Zhi seemingly giving up on her career.

Li Yuheng expressed sadness over the hat being on the floor, but Xia Zhi, feeling her flight attendant path was bleak, explained she was seeking an alternative by trying to become an online influencer, believing she could earn more than a flight attendant. Li Yuheng gently encouraged her, reminding her that no one is naturally suited for the job and highlighting Xia Zhi's own strengths, like her quick, calm reaction during a recent rapid evacuation.

Moved by the encouragement and their shared goal of becoming excellent flight attendants, Xia Zhi promised to make a genuine effort in the cabin for at least another month. Later, Song alerted Xia Zhi and Li Yuheng to a major incident: online aviation bloggers were accusing Cheng Xiao of changing the aircraft's direction, causing an accident and injuring the celebrity passenger Duan Chao. Keyboard warriors had already doxxed Cheng Xiao, spreading malicious rumors.

Li Yuheng recalled the actual incident, remembering how she had repeatedly asked Duan Chao to fasten his seatbelt before landing, only for him to refuse. She also distinctly saw him sprain his neck when the plane turned. Worried about extreme fans exposing Cheng Xiao's address, Xia Zhi immediately began using her alternate accounts to defend Cheng Xiao online.

Both Song and Gu Nanting sent messages to Cheng Xiao, advising her to be careful, ignore the online negativity, and avoid responding to protect herself. Cheng Xiao visited the aviation doctor, but her examination results still required her to rest for a few more days. Ni Zhan found her at the airfield and, sensing her eagerness to return to work, took her to Uncle Hu's bar for lunch.

He revealed that Uncle Hu was a former Luzhou Airlines captain who had retired early due to health reasons but opened the bar to stay connected to aviation. Ni Zhan then treated Cheng Xiao to freshly baked soufflés, a special dessert made by Uncle Hu. Ni Zhan explained that he often arranged for these treats for the female staff in the Maintenance Department, who, unlike other working women, rarely had time for such indulgences.

Cheng Xiao thoroughly enjoyed the dessert, praising Ni Zhan's thoughtfulness and remarking that Gu Nanting should learn from him. During a company meeting, Jiang Tao proposed not recruiting female pilots for the upcoming year, citing Cheng Xiao's recent incident as an example of a female pilot causing injuries and damaging the company's image. Gu Nanting immediately voiced his disagreement.

Jiang Tao argued that female pilots were prone to emotional issues and had a lower utilization rate due to factors like pregnancy, which impacted the company's efficiency. Gu Nanting countered with data showing female pilots were not inferior to their male counterparts and stressed the importance of recruiting excellent female candidates who would otherwise be lost to competitors. He also emphasized Luzhou Airlines' social responsibility beyond mere profit. However, when a vote was called, most attendees supported Jiang Tao's proposal.

After the meeting, Gu Nanting spoke to Xie Zetian, a senior instructor, who confirmed that while data analysis cleared Cheng Xiao of violating orders, the company felt someone needed to take responsibility for the celebrity's injury due to intense public pressure. Xie Zetian added that the second investigation hearing was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, with potentially unfavorable results for Cheng Xiao.

Upon returning home, Gu Nanting was surprised to find Li Yuheng at his mother's house, having cooked a variety of dishes for her. Li Yuheng eagerly tried to serve Gu Nanting, but he politely kept his distance. After dinner, as Gu Nanting drove Li Yuheng home, she hesitantly confessed the truth about Duan Chao's injury.

She revealed that during her pre-landing safety check, she found Duan Chao had not fastened his seatbelt despite her repeated reminders, and later witnessed him sprain his neck when the plane turned. Gu Nanting was dismayed, questioning why she hadn't reported this. Li Yuheng admitted her fear of retaliation from Duan Chao's manager and fans, as well as the risk of suspension.

Gu Nanting sternly reminded her that all people in the cabin are simply passengers and that her silence had damaged the company's reputation and allowed Cheng Xiao to be unjustly attacked. Feeling remorseful, Li Yuheng asked what she could do. Gu Nanting instructed her to immediately report the truth to the company and to recall any other passengers who might have witnessed the event. Li Yuheng remembered a platinum card passenger who sat in the same row as Duan Chao.

Gu Nanting gave her only one day to contact this potential witness, stressing that he might be the only one who could clarify the situation. Back home, while Xia Zhi was live streaming, Li Yuheng called Mr. Wei, the platinum card passenger. Mr. Wei, currently in Luzhou, suggested they meet at a hotel to discuss it. Apprehensive about going alone, Li Yuheng was accompanied by Xia Zhi for protection.

At the hotel, Li Yuheng introduced Xia Zhi as her colleague, much to Mr. Wei's surprise. She got straight to the point, asking him to be a witness, and he readily agreed. As they prepared to leave, Mr. Wei stopped them and asked Li Yuheng for her internal flight portal account number so he could book flights she was working on. Despite Xia Zhi's silent disapproval, and after a moment of hesitation, Li Yuheng agreed to send him the information.

Mr. Wei then offered her a gift, insisting that friends should exchange presents and suggesting she could treat him to dinner once the matter was resolved. Meanwhile, Song alerted Gu Nanting that someone had hacked the company's database and leaked Cheng Xiao's personal information online, including her home address. Gu Nanting realized the address was for a property he rented out. Soon after, Cheng Xiao's apartment lost power.

She messaged her landlord for help and then discovered the main circuit's wires had been intentionally cut. As Cheng Xiao tried to fix the wires, Gu Nanting arrived to help. She quickly realized he was her landlord and playfully teased him, calling him an "evil boss." She then confronted him, asking what he thought of her, and a flustered Gu Nanting awkwardly replied that she was a "good tenant," prompting her to laugh it off as a joke.

While he fixed the wires, Gu Nanting warned her that her address was online and that the perpetrators might escalate their actions. He explained he was concerned because she was his trainee. He also revealed that "Auntie Qin," who collected her rent, was his mother. He then informed her about the upcoming investigation, reassuring her that Li Yuheng had found new evidence about the passenger not wearing a seatbelt and was contacting a witness. As Gu Nanting left, he mentioned he lived nearby and she could call him for help, but she had to call him back immediately as he had forgotten his phone.
