Love Has Fireworks Episode 13 Recap
> Love Has Fireworks Recaps
Seeing that it was already past midnight and Qian Fei had not returned home, Li Yifei grew anxious and drove to the office. He found her fast asleep on the sofa next to whiteboards covered with her meticulously drafted work proposals. Feeling a mix of respect and tenderness, Li Yifei gently woke her up, advising her to go home. He offered to drive her and grant her half a day off to rest.
However, when Qian Fei realized it was already nearly five in the morning, she declined. She reminded him that she worked under Director Fang and had to deliver her presentation first thing in the morning. Fearing office gossip due to the security cameras, she urged him to leave immediately. Frustrated by her stubbornness, Li Yifei grumbled that his good intentions were being thrown back in his face, before retreating to his own office to sleep on the couch.
When Qian Fei woke up, the office was already bustling. She scrambled to tidy up, only to run into Fang Yun, who instructed her to present her proposals at the upcoming morning meeting in ten minutes. Qian Fei panicked because, in her exhaustion, she had failed to take photos or back up her whiteboard notes, and her mind was completely blank.
She entered the meeting room ready to apologize, but before she could confess, Li Yifei interrupted, claiming he had mistakenly kept her materials. Fang Yun then revealed that Li Yifei had already distributed her proposal outline, which she found highly satisfactory. Pointing to the printed version of her board notes, Fang Yun asked her to elaborate on the implementation details.
Reassured, Qian Fei easily regained her train of thought and confidently walked the team through her assessment of the internal control system. After the meeting, Li Yifei was amusedly looking at a photo he had snapped of Qian Fei's sleeping posture.
When his assistant questioned why he didn't use his own, more complete restructuring plan for Shanlifang Hotel Group instead of letting Qian Fei take the spotlight, Li Yifei replied that he was not interested in stealing credit, as the project's success was what mattered most. Later, Qian Fei approached Yifei to express her gratitude, but her tone was notably distant.
Their conversation quickly devolved into bickering when Li Yifei teased her, prompting her to demand that he find a new apartment and move out. Shortly after, a colleague informed Qian Fei that Director Fang wanted her to hand over her current data and take on the task of organizing the working papers. Overhearing this, Li Yifei grew concerned that Fang Yun was deliberately wasting Qian Fei's time. He dragged her to the rooftop garden for a talk.
When he questioned her sudden coldness, Qian Fei bluntly accused him of manipulation. She pointed out that his previous assistance in revising her research report had been a calculated move to expose Shanlifang's financial discrepancies to Fang Yun, turning her into an unwitting pawn in their high-level corporate maneuvering. Li Yifei met her accusations with a bitter smile, reminding her that investment banking was not a fairy tale where simple optimism always triumphed.
He warned her that by quietly accepting mundane tasks like organizing working papers, she was allowing herself to be taken advantage of without receiving any credit. He urged her to be proactive and show her ambitions to Fang Yun. To cheer her up, he even playfully recited a poem about holding fast to one's principles and offered to continue mentoring her in exchange for a discount on his rent or meals.
Bolstered by his encouragement, Qian Fei requested a meeting with Fang Yun to discuss her career growth. Fang Yun smiled warmly, admitting she had been waiting for Qian Fei to show the confidence to match her exceptional grasp of the Shanlifang Hotel Group's details. She officially invited Qian Fei to work on the prospectus and financial reports, a breakthrough that left Qian Fei ecstatic. Meanwhile, Jun Cheng waited outside Dang Yu’s office with a bouquet of flowers.
Though annoyed by his persistence, Dang Yu reluctantly agreed to have dinner with him to escape the teasing of her curious colleagues. At the restaurant, Jun Cheng earnestly laid out his life details, explaining his stable job as a local civil servant, his lack of financial pressure while living with his parents, and his total lack of dating experience. Dang Yu, however, remained unmoved.
She bluntly graded his personality, career, and family background as failing marks, declaring that they had no future together. Treating the dinner as both his formal confession and her final rejection, she paid the bill, instructed him to take the leftovers home to his mother, and walked out. Heartbroken, Jun Cheng met with Li Yifei and their friends, drinking heavily and lamenting his unrequited love before returning home to drown his sorrows in video games.
While he slept, his worried parents checked his phone, examining photos of Dang Yu to piece together who she was. Later that night, Li Yifei returned home to find Qian Fei cooking congee. When she admitted she was preparing it for Zhao De due to his stomach issues and had simply made extra, Li Yifei felt a prickle of jealousy.
He warned her not to get any ideas about Zhao De, who was currently climbing the career ladder, but Qian Fei dismissed his remarks. Sensing his underlying craving, she served him a bowl as well. As they ate, Qian Fei happily shared the news that Fang Yun had officially assigned her to help write the prospectus. Delighted by her success, Li Yifei joked that his excellent teaching had paid off.
He then placed a stack of cash in a jar, declaring that she could use it to cover his meals, effectively hiring her as his personal chef until the money ran out. The next day, after a lighthearted office dispute where Li Yifei jokingly asserted his authority by making Qian Fei clean up and join him for a game of Landlord, Fang Yun assigned them to a crucial task.
The primary supplier of the Shanlifang Hotel Group had arrived for a due diligence meeting, and since Fang Yun had an emergency, Qian Fei and Li Yifei were to handle it. While reviewing the supplier's files, Qian Fei was shocked to see that the new assistant to the chairman was Gui Lili, Li Yifei's ex-girlfriend. Worried about how he would react, she tried to warn him, but the clients arrived before she could speak.
During the meeting, Gui Lili introduced herself on behalf of the absent Chairman Niu. Rather than being flustered, Li Yifei delivered a brilliant, flawlessly structured presentation. Qian Fei watched him in awe, realizing his polished, exceptionally elegant behavior was a deliberate display designed to make his ex-girlfriend feel regret. After the meeting concluded, Gui Lili hurriedly left, claiming she was unwell.
A colleague subsequently gossiped to Qian Fei that Gui Lili was actually the chairman's fiancée and that a wedding was imminent. Shortly after, Gui Lili sent a text message to Qian Fei's phone, asking how Li Yifei had been doing lately and if he ever mentioned her. As Qian Fei tried to respond, Gui Lili sent another message, bluntly asking if Qian Fei had fallen for Li Yifei.
Spotting the text, Li Yifei snatched Qian Fei's phone to type a teasing, self-aggrandizing reply, praising himself as handsome, helpful with chores, and attractive in anything he wears. Annoyed by his interference, Qian Fei lunged to grab her phone back, and the two of them ended up colliding in a flustered scramble.
