Her Blaze Episode 13

Drawing new company lines

YuCi lets Jiang know that she understands that he wants her distant from everyone at the company. That small smile he gives that she gets it. He will not allow company colleague loyalties where he is not in control. This is especially clear in upper management. That he chooses her office attire to his quality while her style preference shows the degree of control he expects. He goes right to the ‘friendships’ of her and LiangLiang and MuRan. He knows it’s complicated and he wanted a reaction from YuCi. When she described her ‘friendship’ with them as a tool to be utilized for the company, he seemed content with that response. She noted her original blindness to the B side of friendships. The A side is where you see the loyalty, support and even love from those close to you. The B side is the reality. It is the face and sentiment they don’t want you to see. Where you really stand in their hearts and minds. YuCi is much better equipped to see the whole picture of ‘friends’ now. I had noticed the last few episodes that LiangLiang had Lego on her desk. This must be a de stresser for her. It was very fitting that YuCi used that hobby to get her attention drawn back to her father. I am curious about why a wealthy man would let his daughter be taken with no further contact ever made. It is a layer of mystery that adds to LiangLiang’s fractured personality. I am both impressed and creeped out that she has a replica of her childhood home in Lego. She has been put in the same position as Ren. Her success at Lysen will depend on not catering to bf’s expectations. They will not be allowed to be allies within the company. MuRan is very like Yu in resenting the demotion. LiangLiang is trying to make things clear to him about the vote being a formality to what Jiang wanted to happen. MuRan is not taking the news well and there is now a definite rift between them. MuRan has ambition, but he’s lazy and self indulgent. This will always backfire on him. We are introduced to Han CongFei. He was the reporter on the scene when YuCi and her mom were taken by ambulance to their respective hospitals. She has him looking into the Beauty Pearl society and keeping LiangLiang delayed from getting the contact she wants to track down her father. He offers to investigate Chen Mo and she makes it clear they aren’t confidantes and are using each other for specific results. She warns him to keep to that arrangement. While he can’t stop the wheels churning with his questions about Chen Mo, he does realize his best interest is to toe the line. Ren is forthright and just flat out asks what YuCi’s intentions are with Yu. YuCi lets her know she will always see him as manager Yu and Ren is satisfied with that answer. After the ‘vote’, dept three was moved up to dept two. Yu is still being recalcitrant in his actions and makes dept three look bad with dept two. Chen Xi is being investigated and no longer with the company. YuCi sets the combined departments straight that good work is the bottom line. The old ways will no longer work for them. Here Jiang is getting some clap back for letting his lover run things when she was not that capable. I liked we were allowed to see the meal with YuCi and Yu. He is still pouting, but he has seen her in action and knows things are not simple. He is puzzled and annoyed when she tells him to listen to Ren. I don’t think he expected that advice. She laid it out for him that at the company they must be distant but that outside the company they are friends. He is accepting enough of it to have a drink with her and have his meal put on her tab. She lets him know that her stay will be short and that management will go as it should with her departure. Winds of change are coming to Lysen. This company was never her choice. But now that her ‘ friends’ got her here via ChuXia, she is making the best of it.
