Ms. Cotillard praised Li Weiwei as an honest and rigorous designer, asserting that Fontaine Bleue Wear only partners with trustworthy companies. Consequently, Ling Long was announced as the winner of the right to be featured in Fontaine Bleue Wear Department Store. Immediately after the announcement, Mo Fan called Huo Xiao, expressing his gratitude for Huo Xiao's cooperation, which ensured the perfect execution of their plan. Meanwhile, Chen Yidu left the venue, with Li Weiwei close behind.

Huo Ruiyong confronted his team, including Old Wan, asking why they had driven away their eighth designer. Su Fei threatened Huo Ruiyong to tell Huo Xiao that unless they were all fired, Li Weiwei would remain Ling Long's only Design Director. Meanwhile, Chen Yidu's mother complained that Weiwei hadn't visited or responded to her WeChat messages in a long time.
Chen Yidu traveled to Nanxi Village, a place where he and Li Weiwei had filmed a reality show, to volunteer by delivering warmth to children and teaching an art class. To his astonishment, Li Weiwei, who had been missing for a year, was living there. Seizing the moment, Chen Yidu embraced her tightly, expressing that if fate hadn't brought them together again, he would have spent the rest of his life searching for her.
