Shine on Me Episode 4

Adulting

Xu and XiGuang have a candid conversation as they walk back to campus. He is still an ass in his responses but tactless candor is his main form of speech. He wants to know why she didn’t use the references he found for her and she tries to put it in academic terms for him rather than trying to make him understand the emotional reasons. As they walk he realizes the girl beside him isn’t or ever will be his girl. He has fears about Rong and asks her opinion. I gotta grin when she says he looks best with shorter hair and wearing white. As they part ways she calls his name and waves — letting go of the what might have been to leave as a fond memory at the cusp of adulthood. They both realize their paths may never cross again and they are both ok with it. Her cousin then shows up to take her in a worldwide campus quest. They have a sibling like conversation and it is very sweet. I really like their relationship and hope he stays an integral part of the drama. When she gets back she has another candid conversation, but this time is with her mother. They are discussing her job opportunities and it is clear that Shengyuan has been the only solid offer or her dad’s offer of becoming his successor. I think she wishes there was a third option. Her father and the Wuxi board members collectively resent Lin for his candidness that their best move would be to focus on their product and improving it. Her dad is not happy their project was blocked by him and he has made it clear to XiGuang he doesn’t want her working for them. She does not want to work for her dad and tells him she will decide after talking to mom. Her mom doesn’t want XiGuang in the middle of family squabbles and encourages her to take the job she earned on her own. That maybe when she was older and more business savvy they could reassess if her best interest would be to work for the family company or not. So now Xu and XiGuang find themselves at the same company but in very different circles. Lin and Xu get reacquainted at a meeting and Lin corners him about XiGuang. Xu tells him she spent time abroad. So at this point neither know she has reluctantly changed her mind and getting ready to join them. I am glad they did not have her run into Rong immediately. Her work and interview status is still unknown. XiGuang is introduced to her desk and supervisor in finance dept. Her new roommates seem friendly. They are getting introduced to the different aspects of their jobs. The demand to toss the broken scales.😂🤣 They commiserate during meals and are gossiping about the new hottie boss that’s arriving. The one confirms it’s Lin, but none of them have ever seen him. Xi Guang totally bursts their bubble when she suggests that since he was a doctor first, isn’t it most likely he’s middle aged? 🤣😂They are back in room watching a drama and missing the last episode. XiGuang loses rock/paper/scissors to run to office computer to download the episode. She sees a possible connection problem and is under her desk checking cables. While she is doing this the lights come on and she sees tall dark and handsome in front of her. She goes with I’ve not seen you before do you work here? How did you get in? Seems he has a resting scowl face.😂🤣
