Meeting You Loving You Episode 8 Recap
> Meeting You Loving You Recap
Song Qingchun, believing she had a chance with Qin Yinan, prepared Luosifen, a pungent noodle soup, at Su Zhinian's house. Su Zhinian, disliking the smell, forbade it and durian. Song Qingchun challenged him with a durian-flavored egg yolk dish, a twist on the Luosifen. He reluctantly tried it and found it surprisingly palatable, prompting him to suggest they share meals, letting her choose the dishes.
Cheng Qingcong, seeking romance inspiration for her novel and harboring feelings for Yan Yuan, interviewed him about love. Yan Yuan took her to a hotpot restaurant, believing shared culinary tastes were essential for relationships. Cheng Qingcong focused on gathering material, while Yan Yuan misinterpreted her eating as affection. He jokingly suggested she become a food broadcaster, but she preferred separating work and hobbies.
Yan Yuan revealed his childhood dream of being "the guardian of Peppa" and offered her roasted pork brain, referencing how the association area affects intelligence and logical thinking, which she found slightly offensive. Later, after the brand team succeeded with the Qinghu Town Reconstruction Project proposal, Song Qingchun hosted a celebratory dinner. The team learned that Su Zhinian had secured resources from Dahua for a potential partnership.
Yuan Yuan declined the dinner, later returning to the office where Secretary Chen sexually harassed her, leveraging a secret she held. Song Qingchun returned for a forgotten item and discovered the situation. When Yuan Yuan was too intimidated to speak up, Song Qingchun confronted Secretary Chen, revealing that the executive floor cameras were active, despite his claims of privacy, and that his actions would not be tolerated at Huateng.
Secretary Chen apologized insincerely to Yuan Yuan, but Song Qingchun fired him, citing Huateng's zero-tolerance policy on harassment, and escorted Yuan Yuan away, assuring her that Secretary Chen would indeed be terminated and that she should report incidents sooner. The next day, Song Qingchun discussed the harassment with Mr. Li, who downplayed the incident and blamed the female employees' attire. Song Qingchun, angered, issued a company-wide memo announcing Secretary Chen's dismissal, emphasizing women's rights and the company's zero-tolerance policy.
At the Wancheng Group tender for the "Impression Qinghu" project, Yuan Yuan confessed to Song Qingchun that she, under the instruction of Li Damin, had stolen Huateng Land’s tender proposal and sold it to Mr. Yu of Liuxing Group. During Mr. Yu’s presentation, Song Qingchun realized that Huateng Land's proposal had been plagiarized. Song Qingchun withdrew Huateng Land from the tender, citing "technical issues" to avoid being labeled plagiarists. Huateng Land's withdrawal caused criticism.
Mr. Lin of Wancheng Group expressed his displeasure, stating that Huateng Land's unprofessional conduct meant they would never collaborate. Song Qingchun defended her decision, stating that being accused of plagiarism would have been far more damaging to Huateng Land’s reputation. Song Qingchun tasked Zheng Hao with finding the leak. Evidence implicated a collaboration between Su Zhinian's Geiger Capital and Liuxing Group. Song Qingchun confronted Su Zhinian, accusing him of betraying Huateng Land by providing their proposal to Liuxing Group.
Su Zhinian denied the accusations, saying that all his businesses were distinct. Another person present seemed to agree with Song Qingchun's accusations. Su Zhinian refused to explain himself. Song Qingchun, believing his guilt, moved to have him removed from his position at Huateng Land. Song Qingchun celebrated Qin Yinan’s belated birthday. She noticed Palan Water perfume in his car, which Qin Yinan said was left by a colleague. During dinner, Qin Yinan tied her hair up.
Qin Yinan offered to drive her home, but she went to Tang Nuan’s apartment instead. Song Qingchun confided in Tang Nuan about the Qinghu tender fiasco and her suspicion of Su Zhinian. Tang Nuan found it hard to believe because of Su Zhinian's investment in Huateng Land. Tang Nuan warned Song Qingchun about returning to Su Zhinian's house. Song Qingchun said that she might have developed "Stockholm syndrome." Song Qingchun discovered that Tang Nuan also used Palan Water.
Meanwhile, Yan Yuan, monitoring Song Qingchun’s heart rate, noticed her heart rate increase when Qin Yinan tied her hair and saw it as a sign of romantic feelings. He urged Su Zhinian to act quickly. Su Zhinian was agitated about Song Qingchun’s suspicion of him and her interactions with Qin Yinan. Yan Yuan then contacted Cheng Qingcong to get Su Zhinian a few days' leave of absence from Huateng Land and cautioned her about deceptive online personas.
The next day, Su Zhinian was absent and unreachable. Song Qingchun learned that a payment to vendor Mr. Huang required Su Zhinian’s signature, and construction would be delayed without it. Believing it was an act of spite, Song Qingchun declared that Su Zhinian should disappear forever and not return to Huateng. Song Qingchun approached Mr. Li, seeking his support to remove Su Zhinian from the board, acknowledging her own "youth and ignorance."
