> Ode to Joy Recap
In the evening, Qiu Yingying told Fan Shengmei about what happened at the company during the day. After hearing this, Fan Shengmei knew the situation was bad. She couldn't control her emotions and scolded Qiu Yingying for her impulsive actions. Afterwards, Fan Shengmei went out to take out the trash and met Andy, who was also taking out the trash. Andy asked Fan Shengmei to call Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer to come to 2201 to discuss Qiu Yingying's matter.
Andy stated bluntly that the company would not like someone who causes trouble like Qiu Yingying. Fan Shengmei also stated bluntly that Qiu Yingying exposing Manager Bai's shortcomings in front of everyone would make the manager think she was unusable. At this point, Qiu Yingying realized that her actions were undoubtedly like shooting herself in the foot. She regretted it immensely, but it was too late. The next morning, Andy drove Guan Juer to work.
Guan Juer told Andy that she didn't need to pick her up in the evening because many of her high school classmates worked in Shanghai, and they were organizing a reunion. The two then chatted freely about their student lives. The GI brand representatives came to Qu's company for negotiations. Qu Xiaoxiao's fluent English impressed her father. The GI brand representative asked Qu Xiaoxiao how much she knew about the GI brand.
This question stumped Qu Xiaoxiao, but the clever Qu Xiaoxiao quickly adapted. She made an excuse to go to the restroom and seized the opportunity to call Andy. At this time, Andy was in a meeting, listening to reports from Liu Siming and others. Qu Xiaoxiao exaggerated her current predicament, and Andy stepped in to help.
She told Qu Xiaoxiao to keep her phone call active, and she would wear a Bluetooth earpiece to provide help to Qu Xiaoxiao at any time while in the meeting. Qu Xiaoxiao worried if she would affect Andy's meeting. Andy smiled and said, "Who asked Qu Xiaoxiao's matter to be so urgent?" In fact, multitasking was a piece of cake for the highly intelligent Andy. With Andy's help, Qu Xiaoxiao successfully secured the China agency for the GI brand.
This earned her father's continuous praise. The delighted father took Qu Xiaoxiao home for dinner, wanting to celebrate with her mother. At the dinner table, her father kept praising Qu Xiaoxiao. Her mother took the opportunity to say that their daughter was much stronger than Qu Lianjie, who only caused the company to lose money. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Soon after, Qu Lianjie, who was always a big spender, came again to ask his father for money. Her father, exasperated by his failure to live up to expectations, scolded him severely. In the evening, Guan Juer arrived at the class reunion and met her senior classmate Lin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Guan Juer had a low tolerance for alcohol, so Senior Lin came to her rescue, blocking drinks for her. This greatly touched Guan Juer.
Qiu Yingying, who had been suspended, was home alone. She received a call from the company's HR department, which informed her that she had been fired. Heartbroken and unemployed, Qiu Yingying couldn't bear the blow and burst into tears. She first called her father. Her father, who was in the county town, was heartbroken when he heard his daughter's cries and rushed to Shanghai on the first bus the next morning to see her.
Qiu Yingying's father was determined to have his daughter stay and develop in Shanghai. He cooked for Qiu Yingying, took her to a bookstore to buy her a stack of inspirational books, and left her three thousand yuan. Afterwards, he hurried back to work.
