Zhu Yun refused to continue participating in the project and talked to Ren Di about it. She said she looked down on Li Xun’s actions — acting all proud before, but backing down when facing stronger people. Ren Di disagreed and said Li Xun wasn’t that kind of person. If others didn’t understand what he was doing, it meant he had something planned.

Zhang Xiaobei claimed to want to cooperate on the Blue Crown project but actually wanted to take all the credit and made herself the team leader. She thought Li Xun, though capable, lacked experience. She made Han Jiakang her deputy, required everyone to check in at the base daily, and tied attendance to grades and pay. This caused widespread complaints, but no one dared protest. Zhu Yun, who had voluntarily left, didn’t show up.

Fang Shumiao told her that Li Xun hadn’t removed her from the roster and even marked her as having perfect attendance. Feeling guilty, Zhu Yun went to the base but left after hesitating at the gate. During roll call, Zhu Yun wasn’t there. Zhang Xiaobei asked why, and Fang Shumiao lied that Zhu Yun was in class. But Zhang Xiaobei knew the main class teacher was away on a business trip.

Fang Shumiao made up a substitute teacher, but Zhang Xiaobei demanded to see the class schedule. Li Xun, calm and silent, hacked into the school website and altered the schedule. Zhang Xiaobei believed it, though everyone knew what really happened. Zhu Yun later went to the base and found Li Xun. He warned her that if she ever mentioned quitting again, she wouldn’t be allowed back. Zhu Yun nodded, and Li Xun couldn’t help but smile.

Zhu Yun asked whether he had a backup plan. She didn’t believe he would give in so easily. Li Xun told her that although things started off on track, they would drift further away over time. Only by working harder could they avoid veering off course. Zhang Xiaobei only understood the webpage, not the data, and sent Han Jiakang to ask Zhu Yun for the proposal presentation report.

Zhu Yun directly asked Han Jiakang if they had no project from the beginning and if Zhang Xiaobei sent him to get data. Han Jiakang admitted it, which made Zhu Yun even more furious on Li Xun’s behalf. During the project, Zhang Xiaobei kept giving unprofessional instructions, exhausting the team. When the project finally ended, she explained the project to the evaluators but only talked about superficial flashiness and didn’t understand the technical core. Still, they managed to get by.

That evening, Li Xun suggested going out to eat. Han Jiakang joined too. After drinking, he broke down in tears and confessed: he was being exploited by Zhang Xiaobei. If he didn’t obey, he might not even graduate. He had a senior who had already been delayed in graduate school for years. Zhang Xiaobei never had a proper proposal — she had stolen all the data from Li Xun. He felt deeply ashamed.

Li Xun didn’t blame Han Jiakang and understood his difficulties. They drank together while listening to Ren Di sing. That night, Zhu Yun got drunk without realizing it. Ren Di borrowed a shopping cart from a nearby store, and she and Li Xun pushed the drunk Zhu Yun home in it. On the way, Zhu Yun laughed and made a scene, even hugging Li Xun while Ren Di took pictures.

Ren Di let Zhu Yun stay in her room and told her it was the place she and Li Xun rented — also where their band practiced. Li Xun had invested in them, so there was a separate room for him. Sometimes he didn’t return to the dorm and stayed there. After Ren Di left, Zhu Yun vomited.

When she tried to return, she went to the wrong room and entered Li Xun’s bedroom, where she discovered he was working on a new project. Pressed by Zhu Yun, Li Xun admitted he was developing the real Blue Crown — the online shopping model was obsolete. The next step was a mobile smart app. He also knew Zhang Xiaobei would seek revenge once she realized she’d been tricked, but he was ready for it.

He told Zhu Yun to stop messing around and said he didn’t know how to coax people. But when he turned around, he found Zhu Yun had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder.
