> Hello, I'm At Your Service Recap
Following a sighting by Secretary Huang of Dong Dong'en and Lou Yuan at a hotel, rumors spread throughout the company that Dong Dong'en was the future boss's fiancée. Colleagues, who had previously been uncooperative, were now falling over themselves to help and flatter her, a change she couldn't help but enjoy. Taking advantage of the situation, Dong Dong'en deliberately let the misunderstanding persist and even brought Lou Yuan hot pastries.
While Lou Yuan maintained a calm facade in her presence, he eagerly ate them once she left, refusing to share even with Wang Zijian. Later, Dong Dong'en sought payment approval from the head of Finance, Li Dahai, also known as Mr. Ocean. Unaware of his nickname and the company-wide knowledge that he disliked being called by his real name, she addressed him as Dahai.
He dismissed her attempts to name-drop Lou Yuan, accusing her of using cheap tricks to get ahead and ordering her out of his office. She only learned of her mistake from a colleague afterward. Meanwhile, Hai, newly single and focusing on her career, hosted a dating event at a hotel. Dong Dong'en attended to support her friend. Coincidentally, Lou Yuan, Cao Ya, and Wang Zijian were at the same hotel after a meeting.
Hai spotted them and invited them to join the event. Initially uninterested, Lou Yuan changed his mind the moment he heard Dong Dong'en was inside. At the dating club, Lou Yuan ignored the woman seated opposite him, his attention fixed on Dong Dong'en. Dong Dong'en, for her part, fended off a man trying to sell her crystal bracelets.
Cao Ya encountered a pretentious man who demanded his future wife buy a car, pay for home decoration, quit her job to have two children, and care for his parents. Cao Ya's sharp takedown of his demands earned an approving thumbs-up from Wang Zijian. During the partner rotation, Lou Yuan promptly sat across from Dong Dong'en, and they spent the next ten minutes in a surprisingly pleasant conversation about work.
At the end of the event, Hai drew Lou Yuan as the lucky guest to make commemorative hand molds with a partner. Without hesitation, Lou Yuan chose Dong Dong'en, and the two playfully treated the activity as a symbolic ceremony for their business collaboration. As an older woman showed interest in Wang Zijian, he panicked and begged Cao Ya to help him escape. The two left for drinks, leaving Lou Yuan alone with Dong Dong'en.
He used the opportunity to playfully confront her about the rumors, teasing her for "cheating" on him by being at a dating event while everyone thought she was the "boss's wife." Troubled by a nightmare about the incident, Dong Dong'en prepared flowers and a gift as an apology. Touched by her gesture, Lou Yuan learned that the payment for her studio, Ba'er, was still pending.
He summoned Dahai, who complained that Dong Dong'en was causing trouble by pretending to be the boss's wife. Lou Yuan deliberately chose not to correct the misunderstanding. Instead, he leaned into the rumor, telling Dahai to separate "personal feelings" from work, thus implicitly confirming the relationship and instructing him to process Ba'er's payment immediately.
Later, Wang Zijian tried to play matchmaker for Cao Ya, reminding her that most couples start as close friends or colleagues and hinting she should get back with Lou Yuan. Cao Ya turned the tables on him, playfully suggesting that since they were also close friends, maybe they should get together, leaving him flustered.
While Dong Dong'en and her team worked late at their studio, her colleague Ma Chengshu was caught checking up on his ex-girlfriend Hai's social media, revealing he still cared for her. Elsewhere, Lou Yuan's rival, Su Qi, attempted to poach Cao Ya and Wang Zijian. Having been scheduled for separate meetings at the same place, they decided to meet him together. They bluntly asked for his offer.
Su Qi presented a contract for three million yuan, which they feigned excitement over before firmly rejecting, stating their friendship with Lou Yuan was priceless and mocking Su Qi for likely not having any real friends. Afterward, Lou Yuan, Cao Ya, and Wang Zijian laughed about Su Qi's failed attempt, reaffirming their invaluable friendship. Lou Yuan then began teasing Wang Zijian about Dong Dong'en. Wang Zijian became defensive, claiming he was only protective of her as a business partner. Lou Yuan, seeing through the denial, playfully pressed further, clearly suspecting his friend's true feelings.
