Step by Step Love Episode 2 Recap
> Step by Step Love Recap
Although Lu Cenyang refused to allow Bu Ran to enter Pinshang through the back door, she was not discouraged. Instead, she planned to enter Pinshang based on her own ability and skill, as Pinshang is known in the industry for its unique and novel design capabilities. So Bu Ran submitted her resume and successfully participated in the interview.
The interviewers at Pinshang gave a question asking them to design a renovation plan of about forty square meters for a client with mobility disabilities. After an hour of answering, all applicants submitted their answers. Only Bu Ran's design was more in line with the interviewers' requirements, and she had considered the special circumstances of the disabled client. Lu Cenyang, who was observing through the monitoring in the office, also nodded in approval.
In the end, Bu Ran and another gentleman passed the interview, which made Bu Ran very excited. Bu Ran immediately told her mother the news. It happened to be the day her father, Yi Minde, was released from prison, so she rushed to the prison to pick him up. Unexpectedly, after Yi Minde came out, he immediately asked her for money, saying he wanted to go out and enjoy himself. Bu Ran couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Not a single person from the Yi family came to pick him up, her mother was still lying in the hospital, yet he had this attitude. Without a word, Bu Ran directly pulled her father to the hospital. Lu Cenyang, concerned about his sister Lu Siqi's treatment, also came to the hospital. He happened to encounter Bu Ran and Yi Minde. After learning about Bu Ran's background, he began to suspect her purpose for entering Pinshang.
Upon returning, he immediately arranged for his secretary to cancel Bu Ran's employment. No matter how capable she was, Pinshang would not employ anyone from the Yi family. Meanwhile, Bu Ran was still feeling smug. She went to her grandmother's house with Yi Minde. Yi Mincai put on a facade of enthusiasm and even asked his wife to transfer money to him. Yi Minde left excitedly, looking like a drunkard.
Bu Ran then told her second uncle and second aunt about her upcoming job at Pinshang, but the two didn't believe her. Bu Ran's happiness didn't last long. She received a call from Pinshang's HR department and learned that she had lost the opportunity after getting it, which disappointed her. Just then, her good friend Qin Xun called, and she immediately thought of a good way to get close to Lu Cenyang.
Qin Xun has a side job as a private detective. He obtained evidence of a client's husband's infidelity, which allowed him to get a chance to rent a house in Fule Court at a lower rent. And this house was right next door to Lu Cenyang's place. Bu Ran pretended to run into him by chance and returned his clothes, while also putting on a flattering expression that even she herself found awkward. But Lu Cenyang completely ignored her.
Bu Ran decided to redecorate her new home, hoping to have an opportunity to let Lu Cenyang see her skills properly. She also took out her past design manuscripts and hung them on the balcony, wanting Lu Cenyang to discover her shining points. As a result, Lu Cenyang turned a blind eye, and her underwear was even blown by the wind onto Lu Cenyang's balcony. She awkwardly asked Lu Cenyang to help her retrieve her underwear.
Lu Cenyang's attitude towards her made Bu Ran very disappointed. Qin Xun helped her brainstorm ideas. Since the 'inviting the king into the trap' method wouldn't work, they should switch to '抛砖引玉' (lit. 'throwing a brick to attract jade'), which means finding a project that Lu Cenyang is very focused on, and Bu Ran can impress him through her outstanding performance on this project. Currently, the children's welfare institute where Qin Xun is a donor is about to be renovated.
Lu Cenyang is very invested in this project, and Qin Xun suggested that Bu Ran could take advantage of this opportunity. The next day, Qin Xun took Bu Ran to the children's welfare institute. Coincidentally, Lu Cenyang also came here today. He has deep feelings for the children's welfare institute because he grew up there. It was his adoptive father who took him away from there and gave him a new life.
The fact that his adoptive father was forced to jump to his death is a pain that will forever remain in his heart. It was Yihua Group that forced his adoptive father to his death, which is also the reason he harbors such hatred for Yihua Group.
