My heart saw through everything before my eyes did

Tan Jian Ci and Li Landi come together in a beautiful fusion of acting that is pure magic. They are well matched and believable. This episode has them clearing the air about their misunderstandings and how well they mesh as colleagues. When SCC’s presentation was liked but not convincing to all the board members, TQ backs her up with specific data and statistics that supports her position and they agree to give her 3 days to get a specific client for the campaign. We are also enlightened about SCC’s insecurities about her looks when her cousin completely misunderstands her encounter with TQ and assumes it’s because she was rejected. Even loving families tend to label their children by physical appearance, athletic and/or academic abilities etc. and as pretty as she truly is, it is always less than in comparison to her sister. TQ is all about mending fences and has arranged a meeting with the granddaughter of the client they hope to get. She turns out to be an old school friend of SCC and their girl talk and actions completely bemuse TQ. He just watches and collects more data for that huge brain of his. He sits quietly by and only interjects when they want to know what specific bribe would entice the grandmother to participate. The search is on for the photo that will hopefully win her over. When he is leaving, the granddaughter offers him her high school love note which he politely refuses. He made sure SCC saw him reject it and that he meant business liking her. They are clearing up their misunderstandings step by step and it is very well done. The two are hidden in the back book-stacks pouring through decades old yearbooks trying to find the elusive photo and SCC shares a walnut with him. His sincere direct question and explanation of the cafeteria misunderstanding and her equally direct response as to her actual intent give them both food for thought. He finally accepts her gift understanding the spirit of the offering and let her know he dared to like her 😂 And fortune is on their side because he has found the photo.
