The Epoch of Miyu Episode 12 Recap
> The Epoch of Miyu Recaps
As Ji Feng prepared for a staff meeting, he instructed Yin Xiang to bring the lead attendant, Xu Miyu, to see him. While waiting, Ji Feng caught several room attendants, including Xiaojia and Ke Wenxue, chatting instead of working. He reprimanded them, reminding them that the first rule of hospitality is "not to disturb." To prove his point, he tasked an attendant with retrieving a bottle of shampoo from an occupied room, highlighting how intrusive such actions are.
He then spoke privately with Miyu, reminding her that as the "backbone" of the administrative department, she must maintain high service standards regardless of low occupancy. Later, Miyu went to the executive floor to attend to a room, where a self-media blogger recognized her from recent news trends. Claiming to be a reporter, he tried to bait her into admitting she was a scapegoat for corrupt higher-ups. Miyu remained professional and refused to comment.
Ji Feng arrived and recorded the interaction, warning the blogger that his behavior constituted harassment and that the hotel would take legal action, including reporting his social media account. The tension escalated when Director Feng Kaixin summoned Miyu to his office. Having heard of the encounter, Feng tried to frame Miyu for leaking information and attempted to drag her to see Wei Siyuan to take the blame.
Ji Feng intercepted them, testifying that he had witnessed the event and that Miyu had said nothing to damage the hotel's reputation. He pointed out that someone was clearly trying to frame a low-level employee to hide the real culprit. He then pointedly ordered Feng Kaixin to attend the upcoming management meeting. At the meeting, Wei Siyuan introduced Ji Feng as the new General Manager, intentionally noting that Ji Feng was now sitting in his former seat.
Undeterred, Ji Feng presented the recent sanitation reports. When Feng Kaixin suggested merely switching to a new laundry plant, Ji Feng criticized the lack of oversight and ordered the entire linen supply chain to be replaced. He tasked the management team with using their personal connections to find new suppliers by the end of the day. After the meeting, Xue Rui expressed concern that a total replacement would cause a supply gap.
Ji Feng revealed that he had already secured a temporary laundry facility and backup suppliers through previous contacts, using a board-approved emergency fund to bypass bureaucracy. He intended to use this crisis to identify which managers were truly working and which were merely "fishing in troubled waters." Meanwhile, the housekeepers gossiped about Miyu's relationship with Ji Feng, with Ke Wenxue even suggesting Miyu was pocketing staff overtime pay.
When Feng Kaixin posted a notice for suppliers, most supervisors ignored it as an impossible request. However, Miyu took it seriously. After overhearing Ji Feng on a phone call learning that his backup goods were stuck at customs, she reached out to Aslan, a contact from her family’s B&B business in the Northwest who runs the Yunhai Cotton Mill. Miyu submitted a proposal for Yunhai, but Feng Kaixin, interested only in kickbacks from high-priced suppliers, threw it into the trash.
When another supplier, Director Tao, tried to hike prices on Ji Feng at the last minute, Ji Feng found himself in a difficult position. Fortunately, Miyu had a sample set of Yunhai linens delivered and laid them out on Ji Feng’s bed for him to experience. When he returned, he questioned her on technical specs like fiber length and strength. Miyu provided detailed answers, proving her thorough research.
Ji Feng noted that the entire hotel seemed to be working against him to support Feng Kaixin. He asked Miyu if she was afraid of being isolated. Miyu replied that as long as she wasn't fired, she was willing to stand by him to save the hotel. Encouraged, Ji Feng demonstrated his own proficiency by expertly laying out his spare linens, much to Miyu's surprise.
Elsewhere, Wei Siyuan discovered that Feng Kaixin had proposed an overpriced contract and reprimanded him for his blatant greed. The shipment from the Yunhai Cotton Mill soon arrived, delivered personally by the factory director, Aslan. Miyu greeted her, and both women expressed mutual gratitude for the partnership. Following the successful update of all guest room linens, Ji Feng held a meeting for the housekeeping department.
He praised the teamwork and announced that, per hotel regulations, Miyu would receive the Outstanding Employee Award and a 10,000-yuan bonus. While Miyu was delighted, the other attendants whispered bitterly in the linen room, complaining that they did the labor while she took the reward. Yin Xiang suggested a different approach: instead of fighting Miyu, they should exploit her "bleeding heart." By acting helpless and "playing the victim," they planned to trick Miyu into taking on their workload so they could slack off.
