Spoiler Alert
The Mysterious Disappearance Act
Xie Wanghe plopped down on the bed like a deflated whoopee cushion, staring at Xia Fenghua’s empty room. Where’d she go? Cue Mrs. He barging in with tears and confessions: Turns out, Yuntu (the shady corp) once bribed her to sabotage Mifeng (the delivery company), but Xia Fenghua stopped her by… writing a personal check for 300,000 yuan! Girlboss move? More like a self-sacrificing martyr—Xia later sold her delivery station to cover the cost. Oh, and Xie later found tumor meds under her mattress. Cue panic and heartache.
Zhou Haikuo offered to drag him back to Flower Street, but Xie insisted on fixing the He Tianming mess first. Priorities, people!
Family Feud with a Side of Nostalgic Noodles
Over breakfast, Shao Xingchi’s dad grilled him about his jobless streak (again), sparking another father-son spat. Enter Zhou Yanlin, the emotional chef, who whipped up a bowl of Yangchun noodles for the sulking Shao. The taste unlocked Shao’s sentimental side—he vented about Zhou Haikuo’s eventual return to Flower Street. Noodles: the universal therapy.
Meanwhile, Zhou Haikuo confronted his mom, Luo Zhimei, about her stellar parenting. She doubled down on her "marriage isn’t all rainbows" speech, but Zhou dropped the mic: "I’m going back to Flower Street." Mom’s face? Priceless.
Flower Street Reunions (Sort Of)
Xia Fenghua finally reappeared at Canal Family restaurant, luggage in tow. Shao Xingchi was thrilled… until she awkwardly offered him a job. His polite "nah" spoke volumes.
Back in corporate land, Xie Wanghe rage-typed a viral post defending delivery workers, winning the internet’s heart. But his exit from Mifeng was pure drama: Boss Meng Wei pretended to care about his "strategic plans," while snakey colleague Qiu Lin smugly rifled through his desk. Subtle.
Yuntu’s Sneaky Pitch (& A Trap)
Jiang Ping from Yuntu slid into Xie’s DMs with a juicy job offer. Xie? Unimpressed. He straight-up asked about Mifeng’s mole. Jiang played dumb, but plot twist—CEO Song and Qiu Lin were later caught red-handed colluding with Yuntu. Boss Meng, ever the schemer, delayed exposing them to protect Mifeng’s IPO.
Final scene: Xie, stuck with a promotion he didn’t want, chugged beer alone on a balcony. Mood.
