Shine on Me Episode 14

The power of the pen and WeChat

XiGuang and co-worker are with the test group determining which caterer will get the cafeteria contract. While she is in line, Lin shows up for lunch. They have a fun negotiation over food vote😂🤣 she bestows him the power of the pen to cast the vote she wants with his signature.😂🤣 she is very disappointed her choice did not win but everybody else sees the food as a serious upgrade and the long lines prove it. Jie is so on to her and Lin becoming a couple. XiGuang is finally admitting he’s pursuing her. She is finally getting out from under the shadow of her toxic college bully squad and growing as a confident young woman. She is taking on more work and ends up being the employee covering the notes for a business trip. She never told Lin she’s terrified of flying. She shows her naïveté talking to contractors but is a boss with booking rooms and getting amenity coupons. Lin suspected Mo of underhanded business practices, but was surprised at the lengths he went to to undercut a good in country contractor for foreign imports. Lin is given the opportunity to fix the slight and renew business together. He knows the gals will stay in the spa if he doesn’t intervene, so he strongly encourages his roommate to use the spa coupon.😂 He and XiGuang go phone shopping and he becomes her first friend on WeChat.🥰 She has a candid conversation with her roommate about office gossip and personal relationships. I am sure in future XiGuang will help with office protocol to improve safety for female workers on this front. She is getting good insight as a future head of company on how to negotiate with business partners and how to improve work conditions for laborers. She is showing real progress and being more assured of herself. I am enjoying the story and the pacing. Cast and production team are giving us a broader view of main characters and we are finally getting to see the interactions and story progression we have been wanting to see.
