Meeting You Loving You Episode 5 Recap
> Meeting You Loving You Recap
Su Zhinian noticed Apple's deep reluctance to perform, stemming from being teased about the birthmark on her face. As Apple tearfully expressed her wish to be Snow White, whose face must be "fair as snow" without a birthmark, Su Zhinian proposed that Song Qingchun help with her makeup to make Apple the prettiest little witch. Apple's spirits lifted immediately, and she excitedly agreed.
While applying makeup, Song Qingchun gently counselled Apple, emphasizing that true beauty resides within, and self-confidence is the most attractive quality, regardless of external appearance. After the makeover, Apple's peers admired the "peach blossom" on her face, proclaiming her the world's prettiest little witch, and other children enthusiastically requested similar designs. As Apple went to perform, Su Zhinian thanked Song Qingchun, who brushed it off, mentioning she still owed him for accidentally damaging his Lego and promising to fix it.
Meanwhile, Su Zhinian received a report indicating that Song Qingchun had not carried her monitoring device for days, prompting him to order continued surveillance. Later, while watching financial news, Su Zhinian quizzed Song Qingchun on the definition of "non-performing assets." She confidently provided a comprehensive answer, then challenged him to explain how to revitalize such assets for maximum value.
Su Zhinian, in a sarcastic tone, declared Song Qingchun herself a non-performing asset, stating that his current endeavors were all aimed at maximizing her potential. Incensed by his words, Song Qingchun walked away, telling him to eat alone and remember to pay. Despite his sharp remarks, Su Zhinian remained subtly attentive to Song Qingchun's well-being.
When her room's air conditioner broke, he promptly handed her keys to another room, reminding her to be punctual for work the next day and warning that even as CEO, she would face penalties for tardiness. The following morning, Song Qingchun attempted to get a ride with Su Zhinian, but he deliberately drove off, leaving her to commute via a crowded public bus. She knew she would inevitably be late.
Huateng Land had introduced a new attendance policy: employees late by less than fifteen minutes would perform fifteen squats and upload a video to the company's official social media instead of being fined. Having arrived late, Song Qingchun had to join her colleagues in this public punishment. Qin Yinan, observing this, felt it undermined Song Qingchun's authority and confronted Su Zhinian. Su Zhinian, already prejudiced against Qin Yinan, ignored him.
When Qin Yinan questioned how Song Qingchun could command respect, Su Zhinian asserted that a leader lacking punctuality could not earn it, citing serious financial consequences that even a minute's delay could bring. Qin Yinan accused him of being excessively harsh, reminding him Song Qingchun was no longer his student. Su Zhinian retorted, implying Qin Yinan shouldn't expect him to report his actions and should focus on his own work.
Qin Yinan, frustrated, vowed not to let Su Zhinian harm Song Qingchun again, regardless of his investment motives. Unbeknownst to Song Qingchun, Su Zhinian's actions were all for her. He had secretly arranged for Cheng Qingcong to purchase the Song family's old residence, intending to preserve her sentimental ties, but instructed Cheng Qingcong to keep it confidential and replace the eviction seal for the time being.
Later, Su Zhinian directed Song Qingchun to conduct market research at Zijingang, which was opening that day, and submit a report by the next morning. Despite her reluctance, she complied. At Zijingang, Song Qingchun encountered an elderly man attempting a "con me" scam, falsely claiming she broke his jade. Recognizing his deceit, she proposed checking surveillance footage or waiting for her lawyer, Qin Yinan. Unexpectedly, Su Zhinian arrived, having been alerted by Cheng Qingcong.
Song Qingchun was surprised but grateful for his unconditional trust. Utilizing his unique ability, Su Zhinian understood the old man's true intention was merely to extort a small sum, not to involve the police. Su Zhinian subtly pointed out that the "freshly broken" jade had suspiciously smooth edges. With the police confirming recorded evidence of his scam, the old man quickly abandoned his scheme and was taken into custody.
Su Zhinian advised Song Qingchun to be more cautious outdoors and avoid being confrontational, warning of potential dangers. Just then, Qin Yinan arrived, apologizing for his delay. He invited Su Zhinian to dinner with Song Qingchun, but Su Zhinian, visibly displeased by Qin Yinan's attitude, curtly declined and left. Song Qingchun, Tang Nuan, and Qin Yinan subsequently had dinner together.
Tang Nuan, who secretly held feelings for Qin Yinan, observed him, but his attention remained solely on Song Qingchun, who was oblivious to Tang Nuan's affections. After dinner, Qin Yinan drove Song Qingchun and Tang Nuan home, giving Song Qingchun a container of crayfish he had packed for her. Still vexed, Su Zhinian deliberately locked Song Qingchun out of his house upon her return. Song Qingchun, phoning him, apologized for her tardiness and mentioned the delicious food she had brought.
Mollified, Su Zhinian opened the door. As Song Qingchun eagerly ate the crayfish, she lavished praise on Qin Yinan's cooking, remarking how long it had been since she enjoyed his wonderful dishes. Upon hearing that Qin Yinan had prepared the crayfish, Su Zhinian abruptly stopped eating. Su Zhinian then playfully teased Song Qingchun about her weight, leading her to step on a scale, much to her dismay. He suggested they go for a night jog to lose some pounds.
During their run, Su Zhinian implemented strict rules, stating that a disconnected Bluetooth would add an extra lap. Song Qingchun tried to trick him by faking an ankle injury, but Su Zhinian saw through her attempt, retrieving her "lost" earphone and punishing her with five additional laps. Later, back home and exhausted, Song Qingchun wished for a massage chair. Su Zhinian agreed to buy one but implemented a pay-per-use system.
While Song Qingchun relished the massage, Su Zhinian mischievously adjusted the chair settings, causing it to violently jolt her, much to her annoyance. The next day, Su Zhinian drove Song Qingchun to work, advising her to prepare documents for the Pearl Residence collapse, noting its connection to building materials and his suspicion of Vice President Li. Concerned about being seen with Su Zhinian and creating a misunderstanding, Song Qingchun asked to be dropped off at an earlier intersection. As she walked, she indeed encountered Qin Yinan, who offered her a ride. Song Qingchun politely declined, making an excuse to conceal her living arrangement at Su Zhinian's home.
