Ode to Joy Episode 3 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
Qu Xiaoxiao and her brother Qu Lianjie came to their father's office. Qu Xiaoxiao asked her father to let her be in charge of a branch company because her purpose for returning this time was to prove to her father that she was better than her brother.
Her father worried that his daughter could not be competent as the general manager of a branch company, so he used a delaying tactic with his daughter, first taking her to attend the company's regular meeting. At the meeting, Qu Xiaoxiao learned that Qu Lianjie was currently responsible for the GI project. From her father's words, she understood the importance of the GI project to the company.
With her quick mind, she called her mother and Yao Bin as soon as she got off work, asking Yao Bin to help her investigate the development of the GI brand in China. Manager Bai asked Yingying to sign the reimbursement form and invited Yingying to dinner that evening. Qiu Yingying eagerly agreed. On the crowded subway, Manager Bai tightly protected Qiu Yingying, which deeply moved Qiu Yingying.
After returning home, she kept telling Fan Shengmei about her interactions with Manager Bai, which greatly annoyed Fan Shengmei. Before Andy came to the company, the company staff were all very curious about this chief financial officer who had been parachuted in. The first thing Andy did upon arriving at the company was to convene a meeting to hear reports from relevant staff members. Andy's professionalism and sensitivity to numbers greatly astonished everyone present.
Qu Xiaoxiao met with her father, telling him that she wanted to be the agent for the GI brand in China. Her father could not resist her persistent pestering and asked her to first prepare a proposal. Qu Lianjie, following his father's instructions, gave all the information about the GI brand to Qu Xiaoxiao. The unwilling Qu Lianjie made sarcastic remarks to his sister, and the stubborn Qu Xiaoxiao was equally unsparing.
But after leaving the office, Qu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded as soon as she opened the folder, because she didn't understand any of the English inside. Although she had studied abroad in the United States, her English level, due to her lack of serious study there, was limited to basic conversation. Moreover, these materials contained many professional terms. Andy was very dissatisfied with the report made by the company's staff, and the staff had to work overtime.
Just as she was excitedly discussing with the staff, Tan Zongming arrived at the company. He asked the staff to go downstairs for snacks first, and also advised Andy to go back and rest, not to work overtime excessively. Returning home, Andy found that her lock was broken. She asked Fan Shengmei, who had just returned from work, for help. Andy, who had lived in the United States, insisted on calling 911.
Fan Shengmei found through checking that Andy's lock problem was due to a dead battery. She helped Andy open the door, but in her haste, she accidentally locked herself out of her own apartment. Andy was very grateful to Fan Shengmei, so she drove her Porsche 911 to take Fan Shengmei out for dinner. Fan Shengmei kept chatting with Andy, and her words made Andy realize that her experience in relationships was very rich.
So, Andy decided to seek her help because Andy, whose romantic history was a blank slate, didn't know how to handle things between herself and her online friend Qidian. Qidian was a friend she met on a sci-fi website. They followed each other. Qidian learned that Andy had returned to China, and after learning that Andy was also in Shanghai, he suggested taking Andy out for dinner.
Fan Shengmei told Andy that based on her experience, Qidian's conditions were not very good. Through their conversation, Fan Shengmei realized that Andy's past romantic history was a complete blank. Andy didn't know how to explain this, and the understanding Fan Shengmei said to tell her when Andy felt ready to talk about it.
Qu Xiaoxiao, worried about the GI brand agency, sought help from Yao Bin and others, but her group of rich second-generation friends all said they were unable to help. Yao Bin inadvertently mentioned that Andy was a high-level executive whom Tan Zongming had spent a fortune to bring back from Wall Street. Qu Xiaoxiao made up her mind to ask Andy for help. She took a pile of gifts and stood at Andy's door.
After Andy and Fan Shengmei returned, Qu Xiaoxiao rushed forward to apologize to Andy. Andy and Fan Shengmei could not resist Qu Xiaoxiao's pleas, so they took Guan Juer along to Qu Xiaoxiao's home to help. When Andy learned that Qu Xiaoxiao's English level was so poor that she couldn't even understand basic English materials, she suggested that Qu Xiaoxiao translate the materials herself online and that she could ask Andy if she had any questions she didn't understand. Afterward, Andy turned and left.
