Zhou Cheng admitted he should have been braver sooner. He explained that he had originally intended to tell Xia Xiaolan about the tragedy at the construction site on the very day it happened. However, when he arrived at the hospital and saw that she and Kang Wei had also been in a car crash, he found the truth too cruel to speak.
Although he performed several checks to see if there was a connection between the falling stone slab and Xiaolan’s accident, he confirmed that her crash was a genuine, unfortunate accident. Xiaolan, however, was struck by a deeper worry. She wondered if her presence as a time traveler was the true "accident" that was inadvertently bringing misfortune to those around her. As the business continued to flourish, Xiaolan celebrated by purchasing a new car.
After the New Year holiday, she and Bai Zhenzhu distributed red envelopes to their employees to boost morale for the upcoming season. The festive mood shifted when Xiaolan returned to the office and noticed bruises on Chen Xiliang’s face. Before he could explain, his wife, Lin Meijuan, burst in and caused a scene, loudly accusing Xiaolan and Chen of having an illicit affair.
Frustrated by her lack of trust and the public humiliation, Chen Xiliang demanded a divorce, declaring he would leave her all their cash just to retain control of the Luna brand. The confrontation left Xiaolan deeply unsettled. In her memories of the original timeline, Chen Xiliang had once been ruined by a scandalous second wife who started as his mistress, and she feared that this world was twisting to make her the "mistress" in that narrative.
Seeing her distress, Granny Yu offered words of wisdom, explaining that fate is not a fixed script and that everyone is simply pushed forward by time. She encouraged Xiaolan to stop overthinking the irreversible and focus on living well each day. Later, Chen Xiliang approached Xiaolan to confirm he had finalized the divorce and surrendered his assets to Lin Meijuan. He pleaded with Xiaolan not to withdraw her investment, as Luna was now his only remaining hope.
Understanding his situation, Xiaolan decided to move forward. She began using her modern knowledge to implement "native advertising," subtly placing Luna’s brand story within magazine articles. Following the exposure gained from a celebrity wearing Luna on the Chinese New Year Gala, they scheduled the official grand opening of the store for the Lantern Festival. In preparation for the launch, Xiaolan arranged for the staff to undergo rigorous training.
Granny Yu served as the etiquette instructor, teaching the employees how to maintain a perfect posture and a welcoming smile. Xiaolan also encouraged the staff to learn basic English and Cantonese to better serve international customers and visitors from Gangdao. On the eve of the opening, Zhou Cheng finally returned. He told Xiaolan that he had learned to help Shi Kai’s family with proper boundaries, encouraging them toward independence.
In a show of absolute commitment, he handed over a passbook containing over 60,000 yuan—his entire life savings—for Xiaolan to keep. The grand opening on the Lantern Festival was a massive success, marked by crowds of customers and an array of celebratory flower baskets sent by Du Zhaohui. By 1990, as the Asian Games approached, Xiaolan’s ambitions grew.
She planned to open two more branch stores and designed a special collection that integrated sporty elements to match the spirit of the Games. She decided to use a hunger marketing strategy, strictly limiting the daily sales of these limited-edition items to just ten pieces per store to maintain high demand and prestige. Meanwhile, Liu Yong’s reputation in the renovation industry had grown significantly, with many customers seeking out Yuanhui’s services.
Xiaolan began planning a large-scale building materials center called Happy Home Materials and invited Liu Yong, Kang Wei, and Bai Zhenzhu to join as shareholders. They scouted a location with wide roads and ample storage space, aiming to create a one-stop shop that prioritized service and convenience. In his professional life, Zhou Cheng’s mentor assigned him a complex legal case involving a trading company to help him advance his career.
During a group dinner, the friends discussed how Du Zhaohui had reported his own family’s illegal dance halls to the authorities to prove his "upright" character for his business dealings in Shengcheng. While eating, they were surprised to run into Pan Baohua, the man who had previously helped Bai Zhenzhu. He revealed he was a former seaman who had settled down to run the restaurant with a friend. As they celebrated their progress, Xiaolan’s attention was drawn to the shop across the street, which had just been rented out by Chen Xiliang's ex-wife, Lin Meijuan.
