Spoiler Alert

When Xie Wanghe rushes to the delivery station to check on a visibly weakened Xia Fenghua, she deflects his concerns about her health like a pro. Instead, she lights into him about He Tianming’s unresolved compensation case, accusing Mifeng (their delivery giant employer) of ghosting the grieving family. Xie fights to secure maximum benefits for He’s family, but Xia’s laser focus on corporate accountability cuts deeper than anyone’s morning coffee.

Meanwhile, drama erupts at the He household. He’s widow tries to bolt after receiving 300k from rival company Yuntu—whoops, turns out this "generosity" comes with strings attached: Yuntu wants her to keep publicly shaming Mifeng to fuel their corporate war. Xia, smelling the BS from miles away, convinces He’s family to reject the dirty money, pledging to match Yuntu’s offer herself within 24 hours. Girlboss move? Absolutely.

Back at Mifeng HQ, tensions hit DEFCON 1. Xie storms into a board meeting demanding justice for He Tianming, but CEO Meng Wei shuts him down with Wall Street-grade coldness. "We’re about to go public," Meng hisses, treating fair compensation like a financial landmine. Undeterred, Xie drafts a personal pledge to cover He’s mortgage and kids’ education—only to face He’s family burning funeral paper in protest below his office window. Ouch.

That night, roommate Zhou Haikuo warns Xie about a sudden surge of online hate—likely Yuntu-funded trolls. Xie’s got bigger fish to fry: turns out Mifeng’s own Qiu Lin is blackmailing Xie’s assistant Xiao Li with shady receipts. Cue the Succession-level backstabbing!

Chaos peaks when Meng throws Xie under the bus at a press conference, forcing his resignation to save face. Xia and Zhou scramble to find him, but the man’s gone full Into the Wild—until Xia tracks him down stargazing at the planetarium. Their heart-to-heart under the constellations (complete with nostalgia flashbacks to their carefree youth) is the episode’s quiet gut-punch.

Over in Flower Street, parents debate whether their Beijing-chasing kids should return home. Moms want reunions; dads argue small-town life wastes their potential. Spoiler: No one wins this generational showdown.

The emotional knockout? Xia Fenghua’s exit. After strong-arming merger terms with Sun Daxiao to protect her team’s benefits, she ghosts Flower Street without goodbye hugs. When Xie races to stop her, he finds an empty station and Sun already moving boxes. Cue All Too Well (10 Minute Version) levels of wistfulness.
