> Twenty Your Life On Recap
Luo Yan’s friends, Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang, and Duan Jiabao, rally around her with comfort and concern after learning about her mother's scandal as Zhao Changming's mistress. Luo Yan is deeply moved by their support and realizes that, as a daughter, she cannot completely abandon her mother. At her company, Luo Yan apologizes to her supervisor.
Despite her mother’s situation, the supervisor is not overly critical, acknowledging Luo Yan's outstanding ability to stabilize the situation and asking her to prepare for her full-time employee defense, though she temporarily stops handling Junhao’s work. Later, Zhao Cheng approaches Luo Yan, revealing his intention to apply for a scholarship to study abroad after college entrance exams, aiming to cut ties with his family and distance himself from his hypocritical father and a mother who ignored her husband's infidelity.
Luo Yan, who once harbored similar "childish" thoughts, advises him against making "futile struggles," but he is unconvinced. Luo Yan's full-time employee defense proceeds smoothly, and her supervisor, appreciating her capability, agrees to her full employment. However, her boss was initially reluctant to retain her due to her mother's scandal.
When Luo Yan asks her supervisor if her retention is due to her mother's connections or her own ability, and is told it's both, she decides she doesn't want to stay under such circumstances and tenders her resignation. Feeling relieved after resigning, Luo Yan goes to feed stray dogs. She then encounters Zhao Cheng, who is surprised by her decision.
Luo Yan tells him that while escaping parental influence is challenging, it is possible when the time is right, which Zhao Cheng finds reasonable. They exchange WeChat contact information before he leaves. Later, Luo Yan and Lu Ran say goodbye over the phone. Meanwhile, Ma Dongsheng, having observed negative news about "A Fresh," suggests that BuyBox's subsequent release of Halo technology might allow them to catch up.
However, he expresses concern about a mole within either BuyBox or Puling, demanding that Zhou Xun identify the mole before any cooperation discussions can proceed. Zhou Xun, Director Ding, and Su Hang hold a meeting to address this. Zhou Xun's investigation indicates that BuyBox's technical security measures are very strict, leading him to suspect the mole might be within Puling, possibly connected to the data Jiang Xiaoguo had previously provided to her Financial Live colleagues.
Following this, company personnel, including Amanda, begin to suspect Jiang Xiaoguo. Facing their suspicions and Zhou Xun's teasing, Jiang Xiaoguo asserts her clear conscience, stating that she only needs Zhou Xun's belief and that they are "comrades-in-arms," deeply moving Zhou Xun. Puling Capital's situation rapidly deteriorates, with a growing number of employees resigning. Jiang Xiaoguo expresses her concern for Zhou Xun as Puling struggles, including a price war.
Amanda, having secured a new job, packs her belongings and mocks Jiang Xiaoguo before her departure, prompting an angry retort from Jiang Xiaoguo. Afterward, Wendy comforts Jiang Xiaoguo with milk tea and reveals she has a boyfriend. Su Hang's father collapses from stress due to the company's difficulties, for which Zhou Xun feels immense guilt.
With BuyBox's funds running low and the company shrinking, Zhou Xun makes a desperate move: he mortgages his personal property and shares, securing 50 million yuan, which he then reinvests into Halo. This "crazy" act deeply alarms Director Ding and an angered Su Hang, who fears Zhou Xun will lose everything and insists on finding the mole first to prevent his financial ruin. Zhou Xun, working late into the night, discovers Jiang Xiaoguo still diligently occupied with company matters.
Moved by a cake she had prepared for him, he offers to drive her back to school when she finishes, making her very happy. Director Ding also takes Jiang Xiaoguo to BuyBox to handle further business. In another storyline, Duan Jiabao's romantic pursuit of Zhao Youxiu is challenging, as he is notably cold towards her whenever Liang Shuang is not present. She feels disheartened when Zhao Youxiu messages Liang Shuang about work-related matters.
After much deliberation, Duan Jiabao decides to confess her feelings to Zhao Youxiu, even fantasizing about the moment. She confides this plan to Liang Shuang, who feels a pang of sadness upon hearing it. During an interview with Liang Shuang and Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang patiently answers reporter questions, expressing her affection for "Xiaojuan." Zhao Youxiu, observing this, is visibly moved. However, after the photoshoot, Liang Shuang deliberately distances herself from Zhao Youxiu when he expresses concern.
Separately, Duan Zhenyu calls Duan Jiabao, inviting her to his exhibition match, but she declines due to her schedule. He then asks her to invite Jiang Xiaoguo, explaining that although he has given up pursuing her, he still wishes for her to witness his achievements.
