Love is Sweet Episode 3 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun officially became neighbors, thus beginning a life where they couldn't avoid running into each other. At this point, however, Yuan Shuai was still unaware that Jiang Jun had already received the job offer from MH. Under the puzzled gazes of her colleagues, Mei Weiwei completed her onboarding procedures. The group of newcomers arrived at the company’s report meeting, only to witness Yuan Shuai sternly firing an employee.
After the meeting, the new hires were formally introduced. When Yuan Shuai spotted a familiar face among them, his expression shifted between shock and delight, curling into a teasing smile. Upon hearing that Jiang Jun’s hiring had been facilitated by Lin Taimo, Yuan Shuai resorted to his old tricks, forcing Jiang Jun to witness the harsh realities of the industry to crush her rebellious spirit. While sorting files with her colleagues, Jiang Jun was met with cold remarks.
Shen Xin insinuated that Jiang Jun had relied on connections to get rehired and even conspired with others to ostracize her. Yet Jiang Jun chose to endure it silently. Despite appearing isolated, Jiang Jun still received unexpected encouragement. Before she could delve deeper into the conversation, however, Yuan Shuai summoned her, intent on making things difficult. He tossed her the Kelang Pharmaceuticals case and demanded a report as soon as possible.
Determined to make Jiang Jun back down, Yuan Shuai didn’t hesitate to verbally attack her, and their exchange grew increasingly tense. But even while working on the report, Yuan Shuai didn’t let her proceed smoothly—Jiang Jun was also saddled with trivial tasks he assigned. Meanwhile, Lili, dizzy with newfound romance, happily began her part-time job. Sure enough, she ran into her dream man again.
But her lack of experience led to customer complaints—until her ideal type stepped in to fix the system and save the day. Her already soaring excitement skyrocketed, her eyes practically sparkling with hearts. As she chatted with her best friend while stealing glances at her crush, Lili explained her true motive for working there. Jiang Jun found it both amusing and heartwarming, and her friend’s infectious energy revitalized her. Moved, she posted her thoughts on social media.
Du Lei, who happened to come across the post, recalled his encounter with Jiang Jun at the library and hatched a plan. Sure enough, when Jiang Jun went to order coffee at the library, she ran into him. Though usually cold and aloof, Du Lei was all smiles as they chatted, even sitting down together to analyze the report Jiang Jun was working on. Learning much from his insights, Jiang Jun couldn’t help but feel a growing fondness for him.
When rain began pouring outside, Jiang Jun prepared to brave the storm—only for Du Lei to offer his help once more. Faced with his repeated acts of protection, Jiang Jun felt something stir in her heart. But as he watched her walk away, Du Lei’s eyes turned icy—this was all just part of his scheme to retaliate against Yuan Shuai, and Jiang Jun was merely the bait to lure his enemy in.
The next day, after the report presentation, Yuan Shuai questioned Jiang Jun about its purpose. Her report was full of data but lacked substantive truth. Yuan Shuai directed her to investigate Kelang Pharmaceuticals for more information but then informed her that her first attempt had failed. With only three chances left, Jiang Jun gritted her teeth and resolved to move faster to prove herself.
Every move she made was under Yuan Shuai’s watchful eye, but he simply listened quietly as she charged ahead. At the golf course, Jiang Jun relentlessly pursued Kelang Pharmaceuticals’ Deng Ke, using the delayed merger as leverage to obtain personnel files. The old fox Deng eyed the rookie with a glint of scheming in his gaze. Just when Jiang Jun thought she was making progress, she discovered the files filled an entire room.
Left with no choice, she steeled herself to plow through the mountain of documents. Yuan Shuai came to check on her progress, and thanks to Jiang Jun’s sharp memory and analytical skills, she managed to uncover discrepancies. The team decided to dig deeper—until the secretary received orders from the old fox to cut the power, trapping Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai in the archives. With no working communication devices, they were stuck in the dark.
Following Yuan Shuai’s analysis, the two searched for the backup power switch in the archives. But misfortune struck—Jiang Jun’s period arrived. Seeing her clutching her stomach in pain, Yuan Shuai quickly deduced the situation. Once the power was restored, though he said nothing, he thoughtfully wrapped his jacket around her, and the two finally escaped the dark room. Walking out of the company, they moved in silence, one after the other.
Yuan Shuai turned to check on Jiang Jun, only to see her struggling with her shoelaces. He called her over and patiently knelt to demonstrate how to tie them properly—her lifelong habit of neglecting them hadn’t escaped his notice. Jiang Jun was lost in memories: as a child, Yuan Shuai had taught her a rhyme to remember how to tie them, demanding she call him "big brother" in return. The evening breeze snapped her out of her reverie, and as she watched Yuan Shuai walk ahead, complex emotions swirled in her heart.
