Twenty Your Life On Episode 12 Recap
> Twenty Your Life On Recap
Duan Jiabao, saddened by missing a star's meet-and-greet, is approached by Liang Shuang, who shares her own experiences and offers the coveted tickets, proposing that Duan Jiabao become her agent and demonstrating her sincerity. Duan Jiabao accepts the tickets and begins secretly searching for advertisers for Liang Shuang. She soon secures an advertisement for the popular online product, Shelly cream (also referred to as a mask in one summary).
Liang Shuang expresses initial concern about the product's quality due to the advertiser's urgency and the cream's fast-acting nature, asking Duan Jiabao to investigate its reviews. Duan Jiabao, finding numerous positive online reviews, assumes there is no issue. While Luo Yan is in the bathroom, Duan Jiabao quickly gets Liang Shuang to sign the advertising contract.
To maintain secrecy about their collaboration, Duan Jiabao then takes the concert tickets and departs after Luo Yan leaves to buy skincare products for her mother, asking Liang Shuang not to inform Luo Yan and Jiang Xiaoguo and to return to the dorm at a later time. Meanwhile, Liang Shuang goes to a mall to purchase mascara and perfume for the shoot.
Although she had saved enough money, a mall discount promotion had ended, leaving her a few hundred yuan short. With the desired items also temporarily out of stock, Liang Shuang attempts to leave, citing a long waiting time. At the store entrance, she encounters her former colleague, Zhang Pangpang, who makes mocking remarks.
Liang Shuang claims she couldn't buy anything due to lack of stock, but then a sales assistant appears, confirming the items are now available and asking if she still wants them. Unwilling to lose face publicly, Liang Shuang reluctantly buys them. Liang Shuang later buys a set of Shelly cream for the shoot.
On her way to the concert, Duan Jiabao discovers online posts claiming Shelly cream caused skin damage and immediately calls Liang Shuang, suggesting they cancel the ad since the contract hadn't yet been mailed. Annoyed by her recent purchases, Liang Shuang tells Duan Jiabao to proceed to the concert, assuring her that she will handle the aftermath. Upon returning from the concert, Duan Jiabao sees Liang Shuang's ad posted on Weibo and is surprised she went ahead.
Liang Shuang explains that she conducted her own investigation and concluded the cream was fine, asserting that any allergic reaction experienced by a user was due to the misuse of skincare products, not the Shelly cream itself. To further reassure Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang calls Ms. Qiao, the person in charge, who confirms the girl had already apologized and clarified the incident. Relieved, Duan Jiabao acknowledges Liang Shuang's serious and persistent approach.
Ms. Qiao then requests an invoice for the final payment. As Liang Shuang does not have a company, Duan Jiabao takes the phone and resolves the invoice issue for her. In another thread, Zhou Xun takes Jiang Xiaoguo to a restaurant, where she orders many dishes. He assigns her the task of staking out the warehouse of "Qimiao Shop," a company, to count incoming and outgoing vehicles and their tonnage. Jiang Xiaoguo reports her findings to Zhou Xun.
She then receives a call from Dali, who confirms her decision to cooperate with Puling Capital. The next day, as Zhou Xun prepares to sign the investment intention letter with Dali's Qimiao Shop, Jiang Xiaoguo receives an urgent call from company risk control.
Risk control informs her that Dali's family is involved in real estate, her company's market data is inflated with family money, and the company is actually a front for her to engage in a "sugar mommy" arrangement, with related news already exposed online. Jiang Xiaoguo immediately relays this information to Zhou Xun and asks if he wants to reconsider. However, Zhou Xun, expressing his confidence in Dali, proceeds to sign the contract with Qimiao Shop.
Jiang Xiaoguo is anxious, and Dali herself is surprised, having already guessed that Jiang Xiaoguo had informed Zhou Xun about the online news. Zhou Xun explains that while Dali might be a playful "young lady," he believes she is an excellent entrepreneur.
He clarifies that the vehicle counts confirmed Qimiao Shop's legitimate turnover, and his field research and conversations with Dali's employees, combined with her self-discipline (evidenced by her punctuality despite a hangover), prove she is diligent, capable of effective hiring, and a qualified entrepreneur, leading him to confidently choose to cooperate with her. Luo Yan, wanting to help her mother, first asks Duan Jiabao for skincare product recommendations, suggesting her mom take good care of her skin.
Duan Jiabao mistakenly believes Luo Yan is in love, but Luo Yan clarifies that her mom is in love and she wants to buy products for her mother's skincare and maintenance, also suggesting her mom buy new clothes to replace her professional attire. Luo Yan then makes an effort to actively seek out her mother, who is surprised and assumes Luo Yan has something to ask or is in a relationship.
Luo Yan quickly denies being in a relationship, pointing out her mother isn't even in one. She then subtly tries to encourage her mother to seize the opportunity with Zhao Changming and dress herself up, but her mother doesn't understand her hints, telling her to focus on her studies and even mistaking Luo Yan's suggestions for her trying to push clothes for a part-time job.
After their initial project, Duan Jiabao realizes Liang Shuang is a very serious and responsible person. While celebrating their first profitable collaboration over a meal, Liang Shuang asks Duan Jiabao if she wants to continue their partnership, expressing her desire to stop collaborating secretly and suggesting Duan Jiabao openly inform Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan. As Duan Jiabao hesitates, Xiong Zhi unexpectedly brings them crayfish.
Duan Jiabao is surprised to discover that Xiong Zhi, inspired by her, quit his programmer job and is now working as a chef's assistant at Same Place. Moved by Xiong Zhi's courage to pursue his passion and break prejudices, Duan Jiabao decides to drop her own preconceptions and agree to continue working with Liang Shuang.
On the way back to the dorm, Duan Jiabao still suggests they return separately to avoid suspicion, but Liang Shuang confidently walks in, refusing to follow her arrangement. After officially forming their partnership, Duan Jiabao diligently begins to find advertisements for Liang Shuang and even asks Jiang Xiaoguo for advice on how to acquire clients.
When Jiang Xiaoguo expresses surprise, Liang Shuang quickly clarifies that Duan Jiabao is asking on behalf of Xiong Zhi, which Jiang Xiaoguo accepts without suspicion, sharing her insights and experiences on client acquisition. In the fencing team, Duan Zhenyu, observing his teammates training diligently to improve, recognizes his past arrogance and apologizes to them. To show his sincerity, he invites them all to sing karaoke at KTV, even providing VIP cards.
He then leaves them to sing, returning to school to practice fencing alone. Through his arduous training, Duan Zhenyu finally adapts to fencing with his left hand. He invites Jiang Xiaoguo to watch his match against Mojie, but she arrives late. Upon entering, she hears others cheering for Duan Zhenyu. Despite losing the match, Duan Zhenyu proudly tells Jiang Xiaoguo he managed to score a point with his left hand.
Concerned that Mojie might be upset, Jiang Xiaoguo offers him a few words of comfort. Mojie finds Jiang Xiaoguo somewhat cute and develops feelings for her. He then offers to help train Duan Zhenyu, but only in exchange for Jiang Xiaoguo's WeChat contact information, which Duan Zhenyu agrees to trade.
