Spoiler Alert
Things are heating up in Episode 24 — not with big drama, but with quiet tension, corporate sabotage, and a little street-side bonding over takeout.
A Bassist’s Crush and Lingjun’s Denial
The episode kicks off with Le Chuan stopping Wang Lingjun, but surprisingly, he’s not interested in her — he wants to know if Wang Yan is single. Turns out, a bassist from Le Chuan’s band is into Wang Yan and wants her contact info.
Lingjun’s reaction? Pure jealousy, though she won’t admit it — not even to herself. She walks off in a silent huff, but Wang Yan sees right through her. Is Lingjun catching feelings for Le Chuan? Probably. Is she ready to face it? Definitely not.
✈️ Back to Shenzhen, Back to the Grind
The next day, the group is back from Hong Kong. Wang Yan heads straight to work, while Lingjun, reflecting on the pep talk Wang Yan gave her, decides it’s time for a fresh start. She begins handing out flyers in the business district — not the most glamorous job, and most people ignore her, but she stays upbeat.
Trouble at Le Shi
Meanwhile, Le Shi’s recent event might’ve been a hit, but their online mini-program just blew up — and not in a good way. Instead of linking users to the proper domestic page, it redirects to the international site, which is a big legal no-no under Chinese advertising laws.
At Miaosi, tensions rise. Xiao Xiao, who cleared the program during QA, claims everything looked fine at the time. Gao Qian keeps his cool and doesn’t point fingers in front of Fang Li, but Wang Yan is convinced it’s sabotage — and not the first time. Gao Qian tells her to go home and rest. He won't let her take the fall alone.
Lingjun Finds Her Groove
Back on the streets, Lingjun is actually doing pretty well. Her flyer-handing skills, plus her ability to perform Baduanjin (a traditional Chinese qigong exercise), attract a group of aunties who join in to learn.
Wang Yan tracks her down, and Lingjun ropes her in to co-teach the group. Afterward, they visit Lingjun’s boss — who is beyond impressed and even wants to hire her as a personal trainer.
High on this small win, Lingjun buys two meals, and the two friends sit down on the street to eat. It’s a simple, sweet moment — and for Wang Yan, a whole new side of Shenzhen.
Mind Games and Power Moves
Elsewhere, Gao Qian confronts Li Fei over dinner. He calls her out for choosing the wrong allies — hinting that no matter what happens, neither Wang Yan nor Fang Li will stay untouched. He also makes it clear: Wang Yan was never Li Fei’s enemy to begin with.
Later, Gao Qian recommends suspending Wang Yan, who accepts the decision but vows she won’t let whoever sabotaged her get away with it. Before leaving, she warns her colleague Zhou Mengmeng to keep an eye on the Yuanzhou project — things smell fishy.
And she’s not wrong. Turns out, Li Fei did orchestrate the sabotage, using intern Tian Xin, who in turn passed it off to Xiao Xiao.
️♂️ Spies, Secrets, and Emotional Breakdown
Fang Li’s men catch Li Fei meeting with Yuan Yi from Le Shi — and snap photos that prove everything. Li Fei, cornered and emotional, realizes she’s just a pawn in Fang Li’s game.
A Small Act of Kindness
Meanwhile, a petty customer accuses Cao Kunkun’s laundromat of ruining her clothes. Liao Fanmu, ever the quiet protector, steps in and defends her. It’s a small scene, but it hits home — Cao realizes she misjudged him, and Lingjun was right: Liao really is like a big tree, offering shelter to everyone around him.
Cats, Noodles, and One Last Twist
Le Chuan helps Lingjun find a new home for a stray kitten. She’s over the moon — giving detailed instructions like a proud foster mom. Later, Wang Yan treats her to noodles and walks her to her wellness center job.
Then comes the kicker: Zhou Mengmeng reports back to Wang Yan. Gao Qian quietly paid ¥1 million out of pocket to cover Le Shi’s losses, and he secretly made a full copy of Yuanzhou’s encrypted project files — including the modeling data. What’s he planning? Stay tuned.
Final Thoughts: Episode 24 doesn’t rely on explosive drama — it’s all about the subtle shifts: friendships deepening, trust breaking, and power quietly changing hands. And clearly, the real game is just beginning.
