Duan Jiabao, having reflected on her actions, apologized to Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan for her initial intentions to subtly mediate their relationship with Liang Shuang, explaining that she was discovered before she even began. Jiang Xiaoguo reassured her that their friendship was built on openness, recalling how they had shared personal secrets during their first meeting while drunk, suggesting that if they could share hidden truths, there was no need to conceal anything else.
Duan Jiabao promised to never lie to them again, and Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan, after some playful banter including a suggestion for red packet penalties for future lies, forgave her, leading to their reconciliation. Meanwhile, Xiong Zhi, after taking his father to the train station, where his father approved of his choices and encouraged him to pursue Duan Jiabao, returned to find Duan Jiabao upset.
Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan had previously noted Xiong Zhi's unusual kindness toward Duan Jiabao, even joking about their relationship when he brought Duan Jiabao a wheelchair. Soon after their reconciliation, Luo Yan discovered news that Liang Shuang was in trouble. Ouyang Yushuang had maliciously posted photos on Weibo showing an injured leg, falsely accusing Liang Shuang of assault. At the time, Liang Shuang was attending an event, where reporters were already gathering for a live interview.
Duan Jiabao, deeply worried, immediately wanted to go to the scene to help Liang Shuang. Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan supported her, and they rushed to the event in a taxi. Jiang Xiaoguo questioned Duan Jiabao's certainty that Ouyang Yushuang's photos were fake; Duan Jiabao, having previously been Ouyang Yushuang's agent, explained that the knee in the photo did not match Ouyang Yushuang's.
Concerned that visual identification alone wouldn't be convincing, Jiang Xiaoguo remembered Director Ding's software, Hongcha, and quickly contacted him. Upon arrival, Duan Jiabao used Hongcha to compare the photos, revealing to reporters that the injured leg actually belonged to a friend of Ouyang Yushuang. As reporters questioned the authenticity of this new evidence, Jiang Xiaoguo arrived with Director Ding, who stepped forward to explain the Hongcha app and its verification process.
While Director Ding captivated the reporters, effectively turning the scene into a press conference for Hongcha, Jiang Xiaoguo and the others discreetly escorted Liang Shuang away from the commotion. Hongcha's app became an overnight sensation due to this incident, with many people using it to verify information. Following this successful intervention, Liang Shuang's attitude towards Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan improved significantly. She thanked them with gifts and invited them to dinner.
Duan Jiabao joined them, suggesting they wear their "team uniforms" to celebrate their dorm's newfound harmony. However, Liang Shuang remained cold towards Duan Jiabao, not only refusing her apology but also announcing her decision to sign with a different MCN. During her escape from the event, Liang Shuang had met an agent interested in her and had taken his business card.
She later went to an MCN, where Mr. Wu readily agreed to her conditions, which included not having a "fat agent." She officially signed with the MCN, and her new agent, Zhong Le, planned her first project: live streaming to sell ham. With Hongcha's app booming, Jiang Xiaoguo approached Zhou Xun at Puling Capital, confident she had met his requirement to join his team.
Zhou Xun, however, was dismissive, pointing out that despite numerous investment institutions contacting Hongcha, Puling Capital still lacked a signed letter of intent, implying the task was not complete. Jiang Xiaoguo confidently declared that Director Ding would sign with Puling, and to Zhou Xun's surprise, she produced a signed investment intent letter, informing him that Director Ding was already at reception, ready for negotiations. Zhou Xun was left speechless.
After meeting with Director Ding, Zhou Xun urged Jiang Xiaoguo to closely monitor the Hongcha project to finalize the contract swiftly. Meanwhile, at Puling Capital, Wang Zhongye had earlier expressed his support for Zhou Xun in a company meeting, clarifying that he was not there to oppose him but had his own pursuits, leading Zhou Xun to agree to sincere cooperation. As New Year approached, Puling and Hongcha successfully signed the contract, making Jiang Xiaoguo's internship with Zhou Xun imminent.
Separately, in the cafeteria, Jiang Xiaoguo overheard a group of girls complaining about Duan Zhenyu, who had coldly refused a gift from one of them. Jiang Xiaoguo intervened, defending Duan Zhenyu and claiming to be his sister. Upon hearing this, the girls offered Jiang Xiaoguo money to deliver their gifts, which she accepted. Jiang Xiaoguo then quickly gave the pile of gifts to Duan Zhenyu and hurried away.
Duan Zhenyu was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed, mistakenly believing Jiang Xiaoguo had prepared the gifts for him. Having developed a secret affection for Jiang Xiaoguo, he happily concluded that she liked him too, proudly taking the gifts back to the training gym and covering them. Luo Yan also began preparing for her postgraduate exams, receiving detailed advice from Lu Ran along the way, prompting Duan Jiabao to tease them, sensing a connection between the two.
