The Epoch of Miyu Episode 10 Recap
> The Epoch of Miyu Recaps
During a meal, Yin Xiang asks Xu Miyu if she has recently offended Zhang Cailu. She reveals that she overheard the supervisor on the phone discussing Miyu’s dismissal, and the timing matches the day Miyu helped Ji Feng retrieve the shampoo samples. Meanwhile, Ji Feng receives the laboratory test results, confirming that the shampoo used on the executive floor is indeed a counterfeit product from underground wholesale markets.
While Miyu intends to report the corruption to the General Manager the following day, Ji Feng stops her, explaining that the supply chain is a complex operation she cannot dismantle alone. Despite the warning, Zhang Cailu officially orders Miyu to resign, citing her three bad reviews. To save her job, Miyu bypasses her supervisor and reveals the counterfeit shampoo operation to Wei Siyuan.
Although Wei Siyuan praises Miyu's sense of ownership, he advises her to stay out of the investigation to avoid trouble. Miyu remains defiant, filing a formal appeal and vowing not to leave the hotel until the results are finalized. She later encounters Ji Feng and asks for his WeChat to repay the 5,000 yuan she owes him once she settles her affairs.
The conflict reaches the highest levels of management when Ji Feng uses his Black Card status to file a formal complaint about the shampoo. This draws the attention of the chairwoman, Wei Wanjun, who reprimands Wei Siyuan for firing the employee who raised a legitimate problem instead of addressing the corruption. Wei Siyuan, in turn, berates Housekeeping Director Feng Kaixin for his incompetence.
Fearing for his own position, Feng Kaixin calls an emergency meeting, announcing that Zhang Cailu is fired for serious misconduct and promoting Xu Miyu to Supervisor on the spot. Following the promotion, Wei Siyuan instructs his secretary to investigate both Miyu’s background and Ji Feng’s history. He learns that Ji Feng is a highly skilled professional manager known for "opening" hotels internationally. Suspecting Ji Feng’s motives for staying at the hotel, Siyuan orders him to be closely monitored.
Meanwhile, Miyu celebrates her promotion with Li Qiaoqi, who warns her that the executive floor is filled with powerful guests and experienced staff who may not respect a new leader. Miyu’s first morning meeting as a supervisor confirms these fears. Her colleagues are dismissive, with some playing on their phones or ignoring her instructions. Luo Qingping, bitter that she was passed over for the role, demands a five-day leave to prepare for an entrance exam.
Though the floor is short-staffed and the request violates the usual three-day limit, Miyu’s people-pleasing nature leads her to grant the leave, along with other concessions to her disgruntled subordinates. The situation turns chaotic when a staff member named Ke Wenxue forgets to enter Ji Feng's stay extension into the system, resulting in a double-booking with a new guest, Mr. Lin.
Having just been laid off from his job of ten years, an angry Mr. Lin refuses to give up the room. To protect Miyu’s position, Ji Feng voluntarily moves to a less desirable corner room, noting that he is settling a debt for the trouble the shampoo investigation caused her. However, when Ke Wenxue admits her mistake, Miyu forgives her without any formal punishment.
Observing this, Ji Feng remains convinced that Miyu’s lack of principles makes her too weak for management. While Ji Feng and Xue Rui discuss whether Miyu could be a trustworthy ally in restructuring the hotel, a new crisis arises. An elderly guest suffers a severe allergic reaction, which her husband insists was caused by the hotel’s towels.
Miyu is called to the room to find the guest’s neck heavily swollen and the situation rapidly escalating, as the couple demands an immediate explanation before they leave for the train station.
