Miss Lucky Go! Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
> Miss Lucky Go! Recap
Director Yu visited Qi Chao, ironically congratulating him on the Companion Cat's supposed success. He then voiced his strong conviction that the series was destined to fail, arguing that its conceptual design far surpassed the actual product, making it overly reliant on the sales environment. Dismissing Qi Chao's approach as childish, Director Yu made it clear he believed he had overestimated his colleague's market judgment.
Qi Chao, however, shrugged off the criticism, attributing it to jealousy and confidently asserting that his team's achievements would continue. The online sales for Companion Cat plummeted, leading many distributors, including Mr. Dai and Mr. Lu, to demand product returns. Mr. Dai presented disheartening sales figures, showing a continuous decline that fell short of expectations and even lagged behind older products.
He revealed that they had initially intended to return the items earlier but were swayed by a call from Mr. Zhong Changguo, Zhong Wei's father. With no improvement in sales, their company's finances could no longer afford to wait. As more distributors arrived seeking returns, Zhong Wei, during a phone call with Mr. Lu, passionately explained that the Companion Cat aimed to transform a lifeless toy into a growing companion, fostering a deeper sense of meaning.
While Mr. Lu appreciated the design, he advised Zhong Wei to proceed cautiously, given the product's heavy dependence on market loyalty. Later, Chen Miren tried to lift Zhong Wei's spirits with jokes, but he remained visibly disheartened by the dire online sales. She confided in Xu Miaomiao about Zhong Wei's struggles, prompting Xu Miaomiao, a former streamer who sold apples for farmers, to confidently offer to host a live stream for Companion Cat.
During the broadcast, Xu Miaomiao enthusiastically promoted the figure, highlighting Chen Miren's design and the concept of shared growth, even offering free posters and keychains. Despite her efforts, most viewers were primarily interested in the complimentary keychains. Afterward, Xu Miaomiao pondered adopting a cute or sexy theme for her next live stream, while Chen Miren thanked her for her help.
Zhao Gu offered a crucial insight, explaining that successful online sales weren't about a platform's size but about cultivating a compelling "shopping atmosphere" that significantly influences consumer decisions and boosts order rates. Enlightened, Chen Miren realized that the Companion Cat's success in their physical OHH store stemmed from its immersive experience, a factor missing from online distributors. She concluded that replicating this immersive atmosphere virtually was essential for improving online sales and thanked Zhao Gu for the breakthrough idea.
Chen Miren then introduced a virtual reality engineer to Zhong Wei, outlining their plan to create an immersive online shopping experience that would perfectly replicate the OHH store's layout, update products in real-time, and animate the Companion Cat as a virtual mascot. The engineer confirmed the feasibility of her vision.
Zhong Wei had to persuade a skeptical Qi Chao, explaining that VR technology would bridge the gap of physical interaction for online customers, offering a lifelike environment for product selection and engagement. He urged Qi Chao to embrace modern trends. Despite his initial skepticism, Qi Chao, viewing it as akin to "three-dimensional space," decided to explore the new virtual store. The OHH online experience store launched with an initially slow start, with Chen Miren herself being the only virtual customer.
However, within minutes, the virtual store buzzed with activity, as numerous enthusiastic shoppers praised the cute figures and made countless purchases. Qi Chao excitedly announced that sales had surpassed 20,000 units in under ten minutes, prompting an urgent call to the factory for replenishment. Even Zhao Gu, admiring a new tail-wagging figure on her phone, declared her intention to buy ten more, acknowledging that virtual reality was undeniably the future trend.
At a company meeting, Zhong Wei's team was celebrated as the sales champion for the year. Despite this success, Zhong Wei, showing a newfound maturity, expressed a desire for Director Yu to remain with the company. Afterward, Mr. Zhong Changguo, Zhong Wei's father, summoned Director Yu to his office. He confronted Director Yu about colluding with distributors to falsify sales data and then return products, a competitive tactic that flagrantly violated Heng Chang's company regulations.
Director Yu, convinced that Mr. Zhong Changguo was merely protecting his son, attempted to defend his loyalty to the company. However, Mr. Zhong Changguo clarified that Heng Chang thrived on innovation and encouraged competition, but Director Yu's rigid methods suppressed creativity and were now detrimental to the company, rather than safeguarding it. He also noted that Director Yu's confidence in betting against Zhong Wei stemmed from the belief that he would face no personal repercussions from his father.
While Mr. Zhong Changguo decided against pursuing legal action for the sales data manipulation, he terminated Director Yu's employment, urging him to reflect on his actions. Zhong Wei later inquired about the outcome of the meeting, to which his father simply replied that they had won. During a company gathering, Mr. Zhong Changguo met Chen Miren, the designer of the Companion Cat. He praised her for her deep understanding of companionship.
He then found her familiar, recalling her as "just an ordinary girl" from a previous encounter where he had dismissed her. Fang Mao and Luo Si returned home, where Fang Mao joyfully informed his mother that he had fully recovered from his psychological condition and no longer needed medication. His mother was overjoyed, suggesting a celebratory meal, and Luo Si offered to help with the cooking. The next morning, Fang Mao discovered Luo Si's room empty and her belongings gone.
He rushed out to find her pulling a suitcase, preparing to leave. Luo Si calmly explained that with his recovery, she needed to move back to her dorm, as his home was too far from school. Fang Mao tried to dissuade her, suggesting various activities they could do together, but Luo Si gently interjected. She explained that she no longer loved him and that her recent care was purely out of friendship.
She confessed that she had previously made him her entire life, losing her own identity in the process, and now wished to live for herself. Luo Si sincerely hoped Fang Mao would find someone to share his life with and asked him to wish her well as she embarked on a new chapter. Despite Fang Mao's desperate pleas, she walked away.
Chen Miren, immersed in a daydream, envisioned their OHH store as a magnificent, multi-story establishment with unique zones and a tranquil rooftop, marking the inception of their shared dream. Zhong Wei, amused by her fantasy, then shared exciting news: his father had approved substantial funding, enough not only to renovate their current shop but also to open several new branches. Chen Miren was ecstatic, recognizing the immense potential for enhanced online and offline interaction.
Meanwhile, while out shopping, Xu Miaomiao playfully teased Bao Jiaguo about his drink before he responded flirtatiously. They then encountered Zhao Gu, who was shopping for her mother. Noticing Zhao Gu's new style, Xu Miaomiao, declaring herself a "fashion expert," eagerly offered to assist. Zhao Gu accepted, and Xu Miaomiao promptly whisked her away to explore clothing options, leaving Bao Jiaguo to wait patiently.
Zhong Wei and Chen Miren hurried to their old high school woods upon learning it was slated for renovation. There, they dug up a box Zhong Wei had buried, inside which Chen Miren had written the Chinese character for "good." They reaffirmed their commitment to celebrate every future anniversary together.
Chen Miren wondered about the box's fate if the woods were developed, prompting Zhong Wei to suggest burying it at the company or, if the company ever failed, in the garden of "our house," hinting at their future together. Playfully, Zhong Wei threatened to prevent Chen Miren from graduating if she ever broke up with him, before solemnly declaring his unwavering devotion: he would always find her, no matter how many times she tried to leave him.
In a heartfelt monologue, Chen Miren reflected on her journey, describing herself as a sunny, cheerful, and cute girl, while also acknowledging her occasional pettiness, quick temper, and tendency to avoid confrontation. She emphasized her persistence, talent, and unyielding pursuit of her dreams. She expressed profound gratitude for her loving parents and the diverse, wonderful friends she had made at Hanhai University, including Xu Miaomiao, Luo Si, Zhao Gu, and Bao Jiaguo, as well as her childhood friend Huang Xiaoyue.
Above all, she thanked Zhong Wei for his steadfast presence, constant encouragement, and for never giving up on her, affirming her belief that they would always be together. She concluded by wishing all those who had witnessed their growth a fortunate and beautiful life.
