Go Go Squid! Episode 23 Recap
> Go Go Squid! Recap
This competition was a showdown between the SP team and the Taotao team. After the host's introduction, the audience learned that it was not easy for Mi Shaofei, who had retired for many years, to be chosen by the SP team. To Mi Shaofei, this felt like a jab, implying that he got into the SP team because of his relationship with Wang Hao. This was because Mi Shaofei's ranking in the previous group matches was outside the top hundred.
Therefore, in this group match, Mi Shaofei played with determination to win and a full-effort attitude. After several hours of hard work, Xiao Mi finally lived up to expectations and, as a main player, won against the Taotao team. When giving his speech, Mi Shaofei said something astonishing and announced his retirement. Sun Yaya, who was crying tears of joy in the audience, was stunned, but still thought Mi Shaofei was cool like that.
Han Shangyan, who had rushed there and saw the match results, happened to hear this bad news, just like when he himself had painfully announced his retirement back then. Han Shangyan once again attributed this incident to Wang Hao, who had "previous offenses." After Mi Shaofei and Ou Qiang finished their curtain call properly on stage, Han Shangyan rushed backstage to find Wang Hao, wanting to settle it with his fists.
However, after Ai Qing intervened, Wang Hao expressed his guilt with honesty, and Xiao Mi told Han Shangyan as always that he did not want to join K&K. Han Shangyan began to abandon his previous dirty thoughts about foul play, but he still felt sad for Mi Shaofei. This was because Han Shangyan knew better than anyone else that Mi Shaofei, like Han Shangyan back then, had a dream of becoming a world champion in his heart.
Afterward, Mi Shaofei had a good talk with Ou Qiang. As his brother, Ou Qiang was very reluctant to part but tried to understand Mi Shaofei. Afterward, only Wang Hao was left alone to reflect on himself, while Ou Qiang ran into Tong Nian and asked her to talk to Han Shangyan nicely.
This was because Ou Qiang clearly understood Han Shangyan's thoughts; the industry could be tricky, and it was normal that Wang Hao, not being the boss, couldn't protect Mi Shaofei. No matter how angry one was, it was impossible to lift a rock and smash it into the sky. But this time, both Wang Hao and Ai Qing were indeed unaware; it was Mi Shaofei's unilateral decision.
There was something that made Sun Yaya both worried and admirable: after Mi Shaofei announced his retirement, he went directly to apologize to the fans outside the venue. Furthermore, one thing that made Tong Nian both melancholic and heartbroken was that Han Shangyan had just experienced his old friend Mi Shaofei's retirement, and the mother of K&K club's DEMO unilaterally wanted to terminate the contract with Han Shangyan on behalf of DEMO.
The next day, Mi Shaofei went to the company to sign the contract termination agreement with Wang Hao. The atmosphere between the two was not as good as before, which made Wang Hao very uncomfortable, so much so that he tore up the cold agreement on the spot. Then, the two returned to normal and had a brotherly hug.
This was because Wang Hao had already arranged for HR before Mi Shaofei arrived to transfer compensation to Mi Shaofei's card, and in addition to the company's portion, Wang Hao also had HR give Mi Shaofei double the compensation from his own account. People leave, but hearts cannot part. After bidding farewell to Wang Hao and Ou Qiang, the next day Mi Shaofei brought Sun Yaya along, called Tong Nian, and went to the K&K club to find Han Shangyan.
Originally, both Tong Nian and Sun Yaya were prepared to intervene in a fight, but the two brothers met, first laughingly suggested getting a drink together, then went for a race to vent, and finally pushed and shoved each other like children, pretending to complain, which made Tong Nian and Sun Yaya not know whether to laugh or cry. When it was time to eat, the two men and two women sat around a table.
Mi Shaofei and Han Shangyan felt a strong bond for each other, drinking from small cups to large bowls. Han Shangyan even seriously suggested that Mi Shaofei not stay in a hotel but stay at Han Shangyan's place. However, Mi Shaofei only listened to this as a joke. In Mi Shaofei's mind, even real brothers should keep clear accounts.
Afterward, when Mi Shaofei rushed out of the restaurant, climbed onto the bridge, and drank until he wanted to vomit his fill, Sun Yaya rushed out with a box of tissues to take care of Xiao Mi. Facing Xiao Mi's regret and helplessness, Sun Yaya could only offer the support and companionship of a female fan. At this moment, in Sun Yaya's eyes, Xiao Mi was no longer the previous ethereal idol image, but a flesh-and-blood man with self-respect.
And in the restaurant, the drunk Han Shangyan at that time was probably the side of Han Shangyan that Tong Nian least wanted to admit. Tong Nian personally heard Han Shangyan tell her that going abroad was not for work but for a blind date. Tong Nian personally saw Han Shangyan look her directly in the eye and say that Han Shangyan had deliberately not contacted her unreliably. Before Tong Nian made up her mind to walk out of the restaurant, she heard and saw Han Shangyan say directly: He didn't like (Tong Nian)!
