Ode to Joy Episode 26 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
Andy directly stated that she was not optimistic about the development of Bao's company. Aside from Bao's being a family business, its product structure was also too singular. Bao Yifan liked Andy's straightforwardness very much. He explained to Andy his advantages for cooperation. Bao Yifan's unique judgment and rigorous logic made Andy change her impression of him. Andy said that she would re-examine Bao's company's materials.
Bao Yifan invited Andy to go to the Volkswagen new product launch in the afternoon, but Andy politely declined, stating that she was going to the airport to pick up her boyfriend. As soon as Wei Wei got off the plane, he saw Andy waiting there. He was very happy and hugged Andy. On the way, Andy expressed her longing for Wei Wei. She told Wei Wei that she had been thinking of him constantly these past few days.
Wei Wei was both delighted and surprised to hear this, because it was Andy's first time confessing her feelings to him. Fan Shengmei, who had paid the rent and sent living expenses to her parents, was already penniless. She sent a WeChat message to Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying to complain. The two recently graduated girls also had the same troubles.
Qiu Yingying had not yet received her salary, and Guan Juer's internship salary was not enough to pay the increased rent, so she had to ask her parents for help. Fan Shengmei, who was on the subway, received a call from her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law kept crying and complaining, asking Fan Shengmei to borrow money to deal with her brother's matters. Fan Shengmei directly stated that she had no extra money after paying the rent.
Her sister-in-law still insisted that Fan Shengmei prepare six thousand yuan for her, and then quickly hung up the phone. Qu Lianjie called Fan Shengmei, asking Fan Shengmei to help him entertain guests. Fan Shengmei agreed without hesitation. After getting into the car, Qu Lianjie gave Fan Shengmei a shopping card. Fan Shengmei accepted it after some polite refusal. Wei Wei told Andy about Qu Lianjie's background that he had investigated.
Qu Lianjie was divorced, with a child raised by his wife. What surprised Andy was that this person was Qu Xiaoxiao's half-brother. Andy called Qu Xiaoxiao, questioning why she didn't tell Fan Shengmei the truth. Qu Xiaoxiao said that she had intended to hint to Fan Shengmei, but she didn't appreciate it, and given Fan Shengmei's personality of being overly concerned with saving face, if she told her, she would only be resented by her.
Qu Xiaoxiao, returning from a business trip, walked downstairs to Building 19 and heard a girl crying. The kind-hearted Qu Xiaoxiao walked closer and saw it was Fan Shengmei. Coincidentally, Andy and Wei Wei also walked downstairs at this time. Qu Xiaoxiao quickly called Andy over, and the two of them carried Fan Shengmei upstairs, but there was no one in 2202. Andy had no choice but to carry Fan Shengmei to her own home.
Late at night, Fan Shengmei woke up, clamoring for water. Andy got up at the sound and brought water to Fan Shengmei. Facing Andy's concerned questioning, the strong-willed Fan Shengmei was unwilling to answer. She picked up her shoes and got up to go home. At the door, she stopped and said thank you to Andy. Looking at Fan Shengmei's retreating figure, Andy felt very sad.
She felt that Fan Shengmei was passionate and righteous, and although vain, she was not without a bottom line. In her opinion, Fan Shengmei was not as bad as Qu Xiaoxiao said. Early the next morning, Fan Shengmei, whose wallet was already tight, sold the card Qu Lianjie had given her to a mall staff member at an 85% discount.
At the company, Andy flared up at Liu Siming, because one of Liu Siming's data errors caused all budget proposals to be redone from scratch. Tan Zongming came to Andy's office. After he learned that Andy was already with Wei Wei, he stated that Andy had underestimated herself, because in his opinion, whoever got Andy was lucky. He also advised Andy not to tell Wei Wei her flaws so directly, because no one can stand the test.
