The Epoch of Miyu Episode 7 Recap
> The Epoch of Miyu Recaps
After the chaotic scene caused by her family in the hotel lobby, Xu Miyu sought solace on the rooftop. Ji Feng followed her there and jokingly suggested that instead of "Miyu," which means sweet words, she should be called "Eyu" (Harsh Words) for her blunt attitude.
Miyu revealed that her mother had changed her name to match her stepsister's just to please her stepfather—a name she had carried for over twenty years while trying to win over a family that never truly accepted her. Seeing her despair, Ji Feng told her about the barnacle goose in the Arctic. He explained how the chicks must risk death by leaping from high cliffs to survive, emphasizing that through such courage, they become independent beings rather than someone’s appendage.
This story deeply moved Miyu, sparking a desire to stand on her own. Returning to work, Miyu faced the stinging gossip of her colleagues, who mocked her for having her parents fight her ex-husband’s mistress. She stood her ground, clarifying that the man involved was her stepfather and telling them to ask her directly instead of whispering.
Inspired by Ji Feng’s words and knowing his status as a top-tier member, Miyu decided to prove her worth by providing him with impeccable service. She hoped that earning a positive review from someone as discerning as him would be a significant boost to her career. The next morning, Miyu arrived at Ji Feng’s room with a fresh attitude, meticulously cleaning and even preparing a coffee for him. However, Ji Feng remained unimpressed.
When she asked for a good review, he pointed out that her service was merely passable and far from his standards. He critiqued her timing, noting that she had spent twenty-three minutes in the room when the standard was twenty—fifteen minutes for cleaning and five for a final check. While Miyu argued that quality and the size of the room mattered more than speed, Ji Feng reminded her that the highest rule of service is to remain undisturbed.
As she hurried to leave, she accidentally caused a small disturbance, further complicating her quest for his approval. Later that evening, Nie Yucheng waited for Miyu near her dorm to return some old clothes. Miyu rejected the gesture, throwing the bag into the trash and informing him that she intended to sue him for the four million yuan she was owed.
She argued that after ten years of unpaid domestic labor and using her connections to secure major deals for him, she deserved her share of the assets. Nie Yucheng’s facade of kindness quickly shattered into insults, as he called her shameless and claimed she only cared about money. Meanwhile, he returned home to a pregnant Lu Zhenzhen, promising her that all his wealth belonged to her and their future child.
Lu Zhenzhen’s first day at the Purong Hotel as a sales supervisor began with her bringing in a significant client, Mr. Ray, from Malaysia. During check-in, Mr. Ray took an inappropriate interest in Miyu, insisting that she be his dedicated attendant. When they reached his room, he pressured Miyu for her personal WeChat, threatening to switch hotels if she refused to comply with his "request."
To avoid a complaint and protect the hotel’s business, Miyu reluctantly agreed, feeling the weight of the compromises her new role required. The hotel soon buzzed with the arrival of Duan Aoxiang, the son of the Kuanli Group’s chairman. To prepare for his visit, the staff began clearing out entire floors, leading to a confrontation with Ji Feng, who refused to be treated like an inconvenience in a public area.
The tension was resolved when Xue Rui, the Deputy GM and Ji Feng’s former mentor from his internship days, recognized his old friend. Soon after, Duan Aoxiang discovered that the "tough nut" refusing to move was his former classmate from Birmingham. The two celebrated their reunion, and Duan Aoxiang even joked about appointing Ji Feng as the General Manager once his group successfully acquired the Purong Hotel through their ongoing VAM agreement.
During this exchange, the current General Manager, Wei Siyuan, felt threatened by Ji Feng’s presence and Duan's comments. Suspicious of Ji Feng’s sudden return to China after years of managing luxury hotels abroad, Wei Siyuan ordered an investigation into his background. During a celebratory gathering in the Executive Lounge, Duan Aoxiang expressed his dissatisfaction with the imported caviar, leading him to demand a more rustic feast of raw marinated seafood and grilled delicacies.
This forced chef Li Qiaoqi to work unwanted overtime, venting her frustration at the spoiled "rich kids" while she manned the grill. As Miyu helped serve the guests, a woman accidentally spilled red wine onto Ji Feng’s custom suit. When the woman tried to use the accident as an excuse to flirt and ask for his WeChat, Ji Feng coldly presented his payment QR code instead. He demanded three thousand yuan for the dry cleaning fee, bluntly pointing out her responsibility for the mishap.
