If The Voice Has Memory Episode 3 Recap
> If The Voice Has Memory Recap
Yu Luxi, having accidentally printed a document titled "Path from Front Desk to Boss's Wife" sent by Xiaotian, panicked as Lin Nan approached the printer. She rushed towards him, losing her balance and clutching his leg while exclaiming, "Mr. Lin!" Surprising her colleagues with her frantic actions, she quickly recovered, kneeling and bowing to him. " Master, please accept my worship!" she declared. Lin Nan, annoyed by her stunt, threatened to call security if she continued.
Yu Luxi apologized, claiming her actions stemmed from excessive admiration. Enraged, Lin Nan called Zhou Na, instructing her to immediately fire Yu Luxi. Overhearing this, a mortified Yu Luxi quickly called Xiaotian, asking him to prepare some items for her as soon as possible, vowing not to let Lin Nan dismiss her. Meanwhile, Lin Nan called his friend Zhao Junran, demanding his immediate presence at the company.
Zhao Junran, riding his small electric scooter, was soon stopped by a luxury car. Inside were his father and younger brother. His father expressed disdain for Zhao Junran's current activities and urged him to return to the family business. Zhao Junran, however, defiantly told his father to leave if he was ashamed, proclaiming himself an "ordinary citizen" unfit for the family enterprise.
His younger brother tried to mediate, suggesting Zhao Junran come back to help with the busy family business, but Zhao Junran insisted they had already agreed his brother would inherit it, mockingly calling himself "rotten mud that can't be helped onto the wall." He even questioned if his brother would step down as general manager if he returned. His father, frustrated, wished Zhao Junran possessed even half of his brother's qualities.
Frustrated by the encounter, Zhao Junran angrily spit his chewing gum onto the ground. Just then, Zhou Na, looking cool in her motorcycle gear and helmet, rode up on a dazzling motorbike. She sternly told him, "You spat. Pick it up." Captivated by her, Zhao Junran obediently bent down to retrieve the gum. Zhou Na then put on her helmet and rode off, leaving Zhao Junran mesmerized. Zhao Junran arrived at Fengling.
Lin Nan introduced him to the dubbing class as his longtime friend and a dubbing master from Ningda University, known online as Langyin. Lin Nan announced that Zhao Junran would voice the character Yan Zhengming and, like all new members, would be required to spend time observing in the recording studio. Zhao Junran initially tried to object, believing himself "mature" enough, but Lin Nan firmly stated it was a non-negotiable requirement, prompting Zhao Junran to agree.
Soon after, Zhou Na entered and immediately recognized Zhao Junran as the gum-spitting motorcyclist. She commented on his "moral problems" and expressed skepticism about his ability to voice Yan Zhengming, dismissing him as "unreliable small traffic." She curtly told him to "figure out garbage classification" and which "type" he belonged to before speaking to her. Undeterred by her harshness, Zhao Junran, clearly smitten, expressed his eagerness to prove his skills.
Zhou Na informed Lin Nan she couldn't assist him with firing Yu Luxi and urged him to see for himself. Stepping outside, Lin Nan discovered the entire office adorned with fake wheat stalks. When he confronted Yu Luxi about distributing "wheat," she explained it was a "beautiful symbol" hoping their "Lu Yao" project would "sell well," cleverly using the homophone for "big sell" (大卖, dà mài). Despite his sarcastic thanks, Yu Luxi persisted.
She later brought him a cup of "barley tea" (大麦茶, dà mài chá) to "reduce internal heat," prompting Lin Nan to accuse her of threatening him. She then offered him a coffee she had personally prepared. He firmly requested she stop using the word "Mai" (麦), but Yu Luxi continued her subtle campaign, even offering him fast food that she pronounced in a way that alluded to "Mai," along with other food items.
She then offered to order "shaomai" or "Jinmailang" tea, again using words that contained "Mai." When Lin Nan reiterated his frustration about the word, Yu Luxi feigned innocence, claiming she hadn't said it, then directly stated her goal: to become his apprentice. Lin Nan flatly refused. Later, during a dubbing training session, Yu Luxi attended as an observer.
After the voice actors, portraying characters like a "Cell phone monster" and a "human child" in a restaurant scene, completed their performance, Lin Nan asked the students for their impressions. While most offered generic praise, Yu Luxi provided a surprisingly insightful analysis.
She highlighted how the voice actor for the elderly, hard-of-hearing restaurant owner subtly portrayed his initial slow speech and delayed reactions, which then dramatically shifted to a "severe" and "fast" tone, punctuated by "coughing with anger," upon realizing a dine-and-dash was occurring, making the character incredibly "authentic."
She also keenly observed the underlying "trust and joy" expressed through the playful insults between the "Cell phone monster" and the "human child," concluding that they were already friends, even if they didn't realize it. Lin Nan publicly commended her detailed observations, chastising the students that "a company's front desk is more serious and professional than you all." He warned them to value their "listening shed" opportunities or "leave early" and "not waste everyone's time."
He then sternly questioned Yu Luxi's presence, as it was not a place for the front desk, to which she responded she was there to get documents signed. He dismissed her. Soon, a video surfaced online appearing to show Lin Nan arguing with Fei Da, with a synthesized voice for Lin Nan saying, "I paid for your time. You are a tool man. Just dub whatever I tell you to. Believe it or not, I'll block you."
Zhou Na showed the video to Lin Nan, explaining that Fei Da was using it to maliciously "hack" him online, turning public opinion against him and making him "an enemy of the entire dubbing circle." Lin Nan remained unfazed, asserting the video was "obviously post-synthesized" and wondering if "the fake could also knock down the real one." He believed a few days of "cold treatment" would make the issue fade.
Later, he spoke with Mr. Zhang on the phone, who suggested a "cold treatment" for the "misunderstanding" and questioned Lin Nan's refusal to use Fei Da for Yan Zhengming's voice. Lin Nan, frustrated, demanded respect, pointing out Fei Da's unprofessional behavior of playing on his phone during recording sessions and threatening to release surveillance footage. He instructed his company to disregard the incident and continue "normal work."
Yu Luxi also saw the damaging video and immediately contacted Xiaotian for help, explaining Lin Nan was "framed" and she needed evidence. Xiaotian later reported his findings: Fei Da was "really powerful," not only dubbing but also simultaneously chatting with four different women during the recording session, despite publicly having a girlfriend. Yu Luxi joked about her "Path from Front Desk to Boss's Wife" guide, but then dismissed it.
As hordes of reporters gathered outside Fengling, keen to interview Lin Nan, Yu Luxi spotted him attempting to leave. Concerned for his safety amidst the commotion, she quickly pulled him away, helping him hide between cars while Xiaotian diverted the journalists. In a secluded spot, Lin Nan thanked her for her help.
Seizing the opportunity, Yu Luxi asked him directly if he was Mai Da and renewed her request to become his apprentice, threatening to expose his secret identity to the waiting reporters if he refused. Faced with this ultimatum, Lin Nan reluctantly agreed to take her on. Overjoyed, Yu Luxi immediately embraced him.
Fei Da, accompanied by a company executive, confronted Lin Nan, demanding an apology and insisting that he should still voice the male lead of "Lu Yao" if he valued "face over attitude." Lin Nan calmly presented the original video, exposing that his voice had been "synthesized" and accusing Fei Da of fabricating the incident.
Yu Luxi then stepped forward, revealing Xiaotian's evidence of Fei Da simultaneously chatting with four different women during his recording session, questioning his "time management" and his publicly known relationship. Faced with undeniable proof, Fei Da was humiliated. Lin Nan then laid out his terms: Fei Da must delete the malicious video, issue a public apology to him and Fengling, and withdraw from the "Lu Yao" project.
Fei Da agreed, asking for the secret recording on Yu Luxi's phone to be deleted. As Fei Da left, he attempted to grab Yu Luxi's phone. Lin Nan swiftly pulled Yu Luxi behind him and warned Fei Da not to "dare to touch her," asserting, "She is my Fengling person. If you dare to touch her, I will not spare you!" Fei Da backed down, and both sides deleted their respective recordings.
Yu Luxi thanked Lin Nan, commenting on his "powerful" defense and adding that she would have filmed Fei Da if Lin Nan hadn't intervened. Lin Nan then instructed Yu Luxi to attend the "listening shed" that afternoon. Thrilled, Yu Luxi thanked her new master.
