Pei is at a loss because even Ma has made profit. š He has sent SiBo off with large cash bonus to realize his dreams and the gamer on an exploration tour, followed up with making coder lead of next project. He thinks he has successfully cleared out the real workers and ready to start losing cash. Everybody is celebrating the new year and sending red envelopes. Lin Wanās parents want her in family business, but even dad canāt find fault with six figure bonus check. Peiās parents have bragged some of the fancy apartment their son has promised. Currently there is bickering in their lane because the owners reneged on building elevators for elderly struggling with the stairs. Pei is sponsoring the cafe singer so that sales will slump, but thereās a good chance the singer will win the contest. He has not sent an envelope yet but has made arrangements for apartment contract when he gets back. His parents have no clue heās the boss and his staff still thinks heās a wonderful boss with no clue he wants them to fail. I am glad they silenced Maās friend from singing. Pei has scrubbed the seafood stall idea and wants the neon lights gone so now to see if cafe will return to a loss rather than gain.

Si bo is unhappy with game and the fab 4 meet at Lin Wanās place to fix game. Together they add mini games to compensate players for bug. This has flipped popularity of game and again Pei wants to strangle Si Bo for fixing it.šš¤£ He heads to Sima wanting out of his contract but changes his mind. He extends Tengda to include an Internet cafe. With this project he puts Ma in charge and things get interesting. His choice of manager is just what Pei ordered.š This time, Pei wants no marketing, no discounts and everything is pricey. He is getting attention from higher ups this time because he is starting to invade their turf. If they only knew how much Pei wanted them to trample his company.šHe starts to feel a bit of guilt as he realizes that for him to succeed his people would have to fail. What he did not expect was for them to care about the projectsā successes. Pei assumed they would be so happy with a good salary and perks that they could toss aside disappointment with failed project. He doesnāt deserve their loyalty like they think he does, but he has not considered they would take pride in actual work performance rather than just playing and getting paid for it. The staff for the new cafe are nicely lined up outside to greet the non existent customers when episode ends.

Pei loses it as he watches his company place first in popularity.šš¤£ Sky Fire staffers play and even the CEO is hooked on the game. Lin Wan thinks Tengda is the company of her dreams and gladly resigns. Pei thinks she wonāt get along with his group and gladly hires her. She blends right in so Pei is going for same strategy as Sky Fire. Use algorithm of most popular games and build similar style on their platform. He even wants the games to come out at same time as Sky fireās because he wants to sink the company fast. His team doesnāt get why he is working this way, but they trust his leadership and go with it. Their game is Deserted Island Sharpshooter. Watching Pei and colleague try out game is hilarious. He could only describe it as a fun mediocre game. š

Pei is determined to get them in the red but a trio have formed a team to actually get Divine General Pact launched on time. They take a company tour of businesses to learn more about producing games. The group has had 5 star accommodations and to other businesses look like inexperienced newbies with no business sense. The last place on tour is sky fire that is supposed to be top notch in their field. What is fun is after seeing how life really is for the company workers, Tengda employees are not impressed and see that their equipment is as good or better than this top tier company. Pei and Lin Wan are having fun drawing caricatures of the sleepers in the group.š Lecture Part two is supposed to show how well sky fireās games stack up popularity wise and Divine General Pact starts rapidly moving up the line. Pei is stunned.šš¤£

Pei is counting the money he will get from losses to find out that videos of frustrated players have gone viral and it is successful.šš¤£ To counter his success he fills the company with more misfits that get outrageous salaries, high end benefits and maximum time off. It is strictly forbidden to work overtime. The workaholic is at a loss because he never gets a specific job and canāt get past level two of their game.š Peiās special assistantās eye rolls make him grin and become more audacious in hiring techniques. He is still trying to figure out how Lonely Road became successful and asks his friend why. He was told because of the rebellious streak in gamers. So after brainstorming with his friend the next game will be Divine General Pact.

No wonder Tiaga doesnāt want to go home. He relates most to his momās cooking and this brings back fond memories. His older brother is the dutiful son and man of family since dad passed. He resents his brother leaving to āfind himselfā while he has taken on the family responsibilities. This shows clearly when he canāt have a nice thing to say to his brother except add salt to the wounds for not living up to the running hype of an athlete and calling part time work in a restaurant progress. Even his momās attempt at comforting as he was leaving showed how little expectation she had of him excelling in anything. Rinās experience is similar. She has a career she wants, but she does not excel in that field. Her mom means well, but she wants Rin to lose her āhobbyā and get a stable job even if her daughter hates it. She also wants to match her with a nice Korean boy. I enjoy how Tiaga and Rin share food, customs and support each other. Her warm flavored candy proved to be a comfort for him too. His boss is training him to run his own restaurant. He sees a capable person and he shares his experiences with Tiaga. A friend brings someone with him that is interested in Taigaās cooking. A path of cooking for athletes may be opening up. This drama moved the romance too quickly, but itās doing a nice job of showing how they learn about each otherās heritage through food and their growing appreciation of each other for just being who they are.

BeiLu saves the day in this episode. The tracking device arrives at just the right time for time administration to intervene. It is not revealed what caused the lapse on their side that allowed Feng house take advantage. The administration now has to catch up on all the history nodes that were contaminated by the artifact thieves. BeiLu was allowed one visit with BiZhi in the past as Ziyi. The handshake rather than bow let BiZhi remember him. BeiLu is in the hospital recovering from a car accident. His parents are alive and his friends are changed for the better. They are the selves they would have been had the car crash of BeiLuās parents not occurred. The vet clinic has a more orderly run of things and BeiLu is a calmer more self assured person than we saw in the beginning. Miao Tong and assistant are both back together and her village was saved. They are wrapping that up and she now is going to stick with him the way he did with her previously. BiZhi makes one last visit to BeiLu. He sees that history has righted itself and he can be happy for his friend. This ends the show with a slight possibility of a sequel. I would love a season two that brings our friends back together.

BeiLu is trying to get to the timerift marketplace to warn BiZhi that Ning is searching for him. BiZhi has heard the backstory of the market lord and promised to look into what happened to her village. The back story of the Dashun jade was a path of betrayal. A greedy thief was selling artifacts on the sly and then stealing them again for the warehouse. Ning was pushed off a cliff because the friend she was trying to rescue did not want to turn himself in. She lost her leg as a result. This made her willing to give harsh punishment to the seller that accidentally revealed location of goods to BiZhi. We also see the relationship of the market lord and her aide. He persuaded her to leave her time to be a time administrator and then stayed with her in the market place. BeiLu is intensifying his efforts to find entrance to the time rift market to warn BiZhi . BiZhi is working from his time to stop the thieves from collecting rare artifacts by killing the owners/creators in their time eras and selling these items in exclusive auctions to future buyers.

Mr Dong is fortunately an idiot and the thieves steal his painting while he loudly mourns the room with sever water damage. BiZhi knows by the meeting location he is dealing with unscrupulous thieves. They know how to thwart the time administration by finding loopholes in history to remove items to form specific sets for avid collectors. They have warehouses in various eras to keep their collection from being discovered. BiZhi brought a good fake and then challenged them with how they acquired their pieces. They go quiet when he brings up the Dashun jade. He is incensed when he realizes his friend and aider were most likely killed by this group for the jade piece. They use a time weapon that should have killed him but he actually survives the attack. He finds himself in the time rift market with the market lord looking after him. Because this group is militant, her aide refuses to assist and she has to get BiZhi out before he tattles to the time administration for disciplinary action. Ning takes it to BeiLou because that is the era she remembers them in. She is going to get nasty with a needle but her handy butterfly ring revealed he was telling the truth. They are still trying to figure out how to locate BiZhi. BeiLou goes to their artist friend wanting to know how to get into the timerift market. He is thinking that is the most likely spot for BiZhi and wants to warn him. At the end of the chess board hunt there is a second ms Ning on the scene and one of them is a leader in the thief group.

The market lord isnāt happy that she has received her last gift from BiZhi. They have been bargaining for centuries and she will miss his banter and friendship. The Dashun jade is still missing and since in his time era he has one last mission with Yashe. Through an intricate search he found the auction gallery that had it. They have the unique mission of finding pieces to keep them from being lost in time. However, only the highest tier of purchasers are even invited to observe them in person. BiZhi learned he did not qualify for the jade but was eligible for the bronze cauldron. This piece had belonged to the chess playing gallery owner. He died under mysterious circumstances and the grandson said the gallery was haunted. The family seemed to be unaware that their art piece was in an auction house up for sale. While BiZhi is trying to connect the dots he applies for their elite membership. His application gets a warning symbol and he is told he does not qualify and can no longer be considered an eligible client.

Jang Mi can save her job if she can get cancellation signature from one million company. She and roommates text pirate site to flush out the CEO by making it look like Mr So sold him out. They are making the ex multi faceted, but he is still a big mess of ambiguity that doesnāt prove which side he is really on. Jang Mi was successful in her work challenge and came back with the signed cancellation paperwork. Her office (except Mr Lee) is now lamenting they might have to actually do their job.š The roomies are bonding and there is an undercurrent of real danger. Actors and production team are keeping a nice mixture of comedy and drama making the show fun to watch.

I wasnāt sure until this episode if I wanted to watch this drama. Jang Mi is finally making some progress in determining the whistleblower as well as discovering who has the ledger that was missing. She manages to circumvent a 3 billion trade āerrorā that now has her job on the line. Her ex is the one that is all for canceling her rather than the true culprit. Her real supervisor was successful in keeping her cover during the investigation, but she is now eye to eye with her ex at the disciplinary hearing that is supposed to end her job. I am not really wanting to see them as a couple any time soon. She is a paladin finance supervisor with a strong sense of right and wrong and she doesnāt veer left of that line. Her ex, on the other hand, has already shown that he can give a blind eye even when a death was involved, accept that that choice dissolved their relationship, and is ready to sacrifice the lowest link instead of the guilty party. I would much rather see her figure out this case than get back together with this gray character. I am waiting to see if they have her work with her roommate to locate the slush fund.

Their day at the park for inspiration before he had to leave.š„° I liked how Yu circled around to kiss Xiu goodbye. Those big teary eyes said it all. When he asked for three words I wanted her to say come back soon. These two know how to spar lovingly. š„° He got her a desk and chair that is perfectly sized just for her. She is working hard on her project and a bit nervous, but the excitement was the best part. I loved his response to Ms Zhou when she said too bad he didnāt get to see her presentation. That was a beautiful answer.š„° Zhao and Gong are planning phase 2 of their businesses. Zhao likes them being neighbors.šI loved his book surprise and his answer for when he got it. As I equally loved his response for when he left the states. š„° He did do the right thing going as he was basically being the executor of his fatherās estate and getting his motherās finances in order. I am not particularly impressed she divorced the ogre that killed her husband and estranged her son. She and Zhen should have walked out in the sunset seeking their better selves. I was real happy when Yu said eloping.š„³ Too bad he had a different definition of that than me.šš¤£This is currently his tallest building with a beautiful view of the city. I see her wish granted of annual visits to appreciate the view and each otherās company. I have to admit satisfaction that the only pictures on his desk were them as a couple overlooking the city and Yu with his dad. I especially enjoyed this episode because his mom wasnāt in it. I absolutely loved this drama. It was well written, well paced and well acted. Kudos to actors and production team for such a beautifully told story. Do I recommendā¦absolutelyā¦do I wanna watch againā¦absolutely. Get your favorite snack and movie friend to binge this and laugh and cry with these wonderful characters. ps. Be sure to watch after credit scene š„°šā¤ļø

Yu kneeling by her at the hospital and her motioning him to bed for snuggle time. š„°I am annoyed that mom was there at the memorial. Yu of course forgives her because that is what he does. But that he is going overseas with her, spending time separated from Xiu, and that she talks of planning their wedding annoys me. šššThe meeting of the father in lawš¤£š Donāt forget the dad still has swag.š¤£š The thought bubble conversation of how to get dad to stop playing chess. š¤£ The past can finally be let go as they now know the complete truth and that Yuās dad also sacrificed to try to make that happen. Xiu gets herself in a bit of trouble with not seeing marriage in the near future. This has Qin game play trying to outwit each other.š¤£š This is so like them and enjoyable to watch. She is being given a chance to be head of a new project and she is wanting to work on it without Yuās refinement steps. Shen wants to meet. I appreciate Xiu accompanying Yu. There is a game of them playing and when Zhen loses he says it is ok to start over. He is thoughtful as he realizes he was never considered a rival. I like that he gives back the name Qinās father made for the company. After quoting Xiuās words about reshaping the future I was really hoping for the we could start over. Yu is harsher with him after 20 years of attempted rivalry and here I found myself a bit sad. Pei is at least going to figure out what his vision is and it will not be a by product of his dadās endeavors. Elder Pei has a list of charges pending and more to be added. Until 20 yrs have passed, he hasnāt begun serving the debt he owes.š This episode looks to a bright future for everybody and finally the Sun after the storm.
