Ode to Joy Episode 16 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
Qu Yingying told Manager Zhang about her plan to open an online store. She demonstrated the online transaction process to Manager Zhang and volunteered to be responsible for the store's operation. Manager Zhang, who already appreciated her, readily agreed. Qiu Yingying was so happy she danced with joy, and immediately sent a WeChat message to Fan Shengmei to share the good news. Guan Juer's colleague Michelle fell ill, and she asked Guan Juer to help her complete the current proposal.
In fact, Michelle had already done the first half, so Guan Juer proceeded to complete the latter half and signed her name as the final person in charge. But unexpectedly, there was a mistake in the first half done by Michelle, but Michelle refused to admit it. She told the manager that Guan Juer was responsible for the proposal.
The furious manager called Guan Juer over and, without explanation, scolded her severely, also making Guan Juer write a letter of self-criticism to him. Guan Juer felt extremely wronged. After work, as soon as she got into Andy's car, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Andy patiently listened to Guan Juer explain the whole story. Guan Juer expressed her concern that this review would affect her year-end evaluation.
Andy analyzed the situation from the perspective of a company executive and told Guan Juer that both she and Qu Xiaoxiao considered her a very good employee. This greatly encouraged Guan Juer, and she decided to face reality and submit a letter of self-criticism to the manager. The next day, Guan Juer arrived at the office early. She placed the letter of self-criticism on the manager's desk, then immersed herself in redoing the proposal.
When the manager arrived at the company and saw the diligent Guan Juer and the letter of self-criticism on his desk, he smiled knowingly. To create a perfect proposal, Guan Juer worked overtime until late into the night, becoming so tired that she fell asleep sitting on the toilet in the restroom. Just then, Guan Juer's mother called.
Learning that Guan Juer was still working overtime, Guan Juer's mother felt very distressed and angrily scolded Guan Juer's father after hanging up. Guan Juer's father told Guan Juer's mother that he would be on a business trip to Shanghai in a few days and could visit their daughter. Guan Juer's mother then enthusiastically expressed that she also wanted to go.
It turned out that Guan Juer's mother had found a suitable partner for Guan Juer and wanted to take her to a blind date in Shanghai. Qu Xiaoxiao went on a business trip with Yao Bin to negotiate deals. Facing doubts from everyone, Qu Xiaoxiao candidly admitted that she became general manager with the help of her father. During the discussion, when Andy was mentioned, Qu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to say that Andy was a good sister of hers.
As soon as she said this, everyone praised Qu Xiaoxiao, thinking that although she was young, she had extensive connections. The next morning, Qu Xiaoxiao, still in her sleep, saw a WeChat message from Zhao Qiping and was so excited that she jumped three feet high. She eagerly called Andy to tell her the good news, and also mentioned that she had used Andy's reputation to get close to clients.
In addition, Qu Xiaoxiao also told Andy the fact that Wang Baichuan's BMW car was rented. After her meeting, Andy returned to her office and saw the location sent to her by Wei Wei. Wei Wei asked Andy to go there. Only upon arrival did Andy realize it was a comfortable restaurant.
Wei Wei told Andy that to make up for the previous frozen dumplings, he had specifically arranged a menu for Andy, and she just needed to relax and enjoy. Andy also told Wei Wei about Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan, seeking his advice. Wei Wei said that each situation needed specific analysis, and commented that Fan Shengmei pretending to own a house and Wang Baichuan pretending to own a car made them a perfect match.
As soon as she finished work, Qiu Yingying received a call from Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei told her that the property management had called, saying that the downstairs residents had complained about them because their bathroom was leaking, and water had seeped into unit 2102. Fan Shengmei, who was going to accompany Wang Baichuan to buy things, instructed Qiu Yingying not to admit that their bathroom was leaking, because once they admitted it, there would be countless compensations.
Qiu Yingying returned to Ode to Joy and was intercepted by the property management downstairs, but Qiu Yingying managed to escape under some pretext. As soon as she got back to unit 2202, the property management came up with the downstairs female resident. The downstairs resident insisted on entering the apartment for inspection, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction with tenants like Qiu Yingying. Qiu Yingying then firmly refused to let her in for inspection, citing her bad attitude as the reason.
