> Ode to Joy Recap
Qu Lianjie handed his business card to Fan Shengmei. The two chatted happily. Qu Lianjie borrowed Fan Shengmei's phone to call his own phone, thereby saving Fan Shengmei's mobile number. Tan Zongming was very surprised to see Andy. Andy said she was mainly there to accompany her neighbor for a stroll. While the two were chatting, Bao Yifan from the Bao Corporation came over to strike up a conversation.
Andy was indifferent to him, but unexpectedly, Bao Yifan really liked Andy's personality. It was getting late, and Andy left with Fan Shengmei. Just as the two got into the car and were about to drive away, Andy looked up and saw Bao Yifan standing in front of the car. Bao Yifan knocked on the car window and handed Andy a business card with another one of his phone numbers printed on it.
On the way home, Fan Shengmei held Bao Yifan's two business cards, constantly exclaiming about Andy's extraordinary charm. Andy humbly stated that these entrepreneurs were only interested in her ability to help them make money. She also told Fan Shengmei that she would not favor Bao Yifan because he didn't seem to have any exceptional talents. Andy's words made Fan Shengmei realize the gap between herself and Andy, filling her with deep emotions.
Andy noticed Bao Yifan had been driving behind her. The straightforward Andy simply pulled over and told Bao Yifan she only had five minutes to listen to him. Bao Yifan said he wanted to discuss business matters, and the two agreed to negotiate tomorrow morning. As soon as Fan Shengmei arrived home, she received a call from Qu Lianjie. Qu Lianjie invited her to dinner together on the weekend. Fan Shengmei, eager to catch a wealthy husband, readily accepted.
Andy called Wei Wei and recounted her and Fan Shengmei's experiences to him. Their interactions became increasingly natural. Qu Xiaoxiao followed Andy's and her father's advice, directly negotiating with Brother Wang. She offered a bottom price and also presented a bid matching that price. Brother Wang was shocked by Qu Xiaoxiao's decisiveness and sincerity, deciding to hand the project over to her. Early the next morning, the three girls from 2202 were awakened by a text message from their landlord.
The landlord had sent a message to increase the rent, so the three girls had no choice but to find ways to increase income and cut expenses. Qiu Yingying wanted to cook indoors to save money. Fan Shengmei was worried about her room smelling of cooking fumes and was not very happy, but she had no reason to refuse. Fan Shengmei's mother called Fan Shengmei, asking her to send money home.
Already worried about the rent, Fan Shengmei was distraught after hanging up the phone. Just then, she received a call from Qu Lianjie. Qu Lianjie invited her to dinner, and Fan Shengmei eagerly accepted. Qu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qiping were having dinner together. As soon as she sat down, she saw Fan Shengmei having dinner with a gentleman. Qu Xiaoxiao, who loved to stir up trouble, insisted on going over to greet Fan Shengmei.
Unexpectedly, Fan Shengmei pretended not to know her. Qu Xiaoxiao turned her head and found that the person sitting opposite Fan Shengmei was her own brother. She burst into laughter, and later returned to tell Zhao Qiping what she had witnessed. After Qu Xiaoxiao left, Qu Lianjie told Fan Shengmei that Qu Xiaoxiao was his relative's or friend's younger sister. The next day, Qiu Yingying was cooking in the kitchen. Fan Shengmei had opened the living room door.
Qu Xiaoxiao, who had intended to go downstairs to feed her cat, came in along the way. She subjected Fan Shengmei to a barrage of sarcasm, then went downstairs to feed her cat. Downstairs, Qu Xiaoxiao saw Senior Brother Lin. She greeted the property management and escorted Senior Brother Lin upstairs. Senior Brother Lin had come to bring Guan Juer nuts and concert tickets.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Senior Brother Lin took his leave, and Guan Juer walked him downstairs. Encountering Qu Xiaoxiao, who was feeding her cat, Guan Juer went up to her and asked why Qu Xiaoxiao always targeted Fan Shengmei. Qu Xiaoxiao then called Andy downstairs as well and explained the reason to both of them.
