So why is Man Li's old boss offering her a job , but asking her to stay away from selling insurance? 🤔

It seems Keke is planning to get Xiao Zhou for herself and try for Manli to become her stepmom... lets see how both handle this sensitive situation since they are their biggest client

Some dramas are much more than all the above questions-

this is one of a kind drama . real gem. Watch it , you may love it , or may be not . But you will certainly appreciate the nuggests of wisdom this drama dishes out with out too much drama as you age and experience life!

Prof Ding is now trying to go back to his ex wife ...!!!

its good to see how Man Li handled it , without trying to be insulting but explaining it very well why it is wrong and why he should not be doing it. She is such a sorted person.

you never know , Man Li certainly made an impression on him from the 1st time she met him. there are still 4 episodes to go. He may step in with a proposal as well. I'm nevertheless impressed with his dedication to his dead wife and daughter , and his wanting to stay single for his daughters sake is truely selfless .

More importantly , he knows Man Li is no gold digger and has a great rapport with his daughter.. lets see if that proposal happens

I can understand why Man li fell. She was young and silly
probably , when she fell in love and married him young and supported him financially till he completed his PHD. But why did Qui Lu Su fell for him. She is a gold digger , and he doesn/t have any thing to offer other than his talent in specific area , which can help her a little in her business but thats about. Even am curious about the hidden talent of Professor Ding to make 2 hugely talented and beautiful women to fall for him

ML has every reason to fall in love with her , as she helped him stand up at his lowest point, but its not the case for her , though he helps her when looses every thing . it can be looked as reciprocal action to her helping him before. so though he has been saying things in other circumstances be considered as declaration of love , she isnt considering that as a possibility. or she is pretending not to have understood since may be she sees bright future for him and she doesnt want to drag him down

what Manli did was not enough, did it amount to even a pinch to Ling.
Ling got her banned from industry, and now ensured she got sued for millions . i hope Manli realises Ling's hand behind her getting sued and cause equal damage to her , if not more by the end of the drama. Good people deserve kindness , not evil natured ones

When Wu Ya asked Ling Jiang to stop the car and got off, i thought , she is a sensible girl and will think this through. But marrying within month or two of meeting and with Ling Jiang's behaviour added - this has potential for bad ending

I was looking forward for her re-entry post completion of 2 years ban.. but being sued added to previous ban from industry is suicidal to her any future prospects ..

its not the heels , but the short dresses that bother me . Sun Li could have looked lovely even in knee length dresses .. whats the obsession with very short dresses 😂🤦

and there is Manli , who would let off with few words even someone who harmed her greatly. I wish she had filed a complaint on TangLing when she gathered audio evidence against her breaking industry rules... ManLi cares about wellbeing of even villians .. Sigh .

TangLing

Manli practically made her , gave her a chance , groomed her , helped her succeed in life. and what explains all that backstabbing ? not even a slight hint of gratefulness .. back stab after backstab... what explains such intense meanness from such people? she is not even willing to spare her after getting her debarred from industry ,, I wonder if there is a special place in hell for someone like her?

i think we are getting there.. in recent episodes i saw 2 hints (which i mentioned in some comment ) ... lets see if you can recognize those - 🤪

I am at Ep 9, and am not impressed by ML ( XiaMing). too calculating to my taste.

1. In their 1st meeting, I'm sure he was impressed by her professional talent, but still didn't hire her despite his Uncle asking him to, because he thought she lacked people skills and is a burden , and they don't need that burden.

2. He started taking interest in her only after losing 2 bids to her and had in fact agreed to lead the orientation only because she is a participant of that session . During that time , he projected some level of interest (romantic?) in her but still doesn't take any action on his feelings. (Also, though he knows who is responsible for her firing, he doesn't tell her till this meet up)

3. He sees her meeting with Mr Xu Feng, and immediately makes an offer to hire her as his assistant (because he sees she has the talent to damage their company if she joins hands with Xu Feng). Her lack of people skills didn't bother him when his own company was at stake.

4. I knows some where between orientation meeting and loosing 2nd bid to her company he suggests helping her gain her cost certification from the task force to his uncle having figured her Ex's new girl friend (who seems to hold a responsible power in task force) is responsible for keeping her certification on Hold. But still am not sure its because he likes her (romantically / professionally) or for others reasons

5. Even then, he thinks too much about himself , cuts short phone calls , leaves the cafe after making his little speech on why she should join their company , All bit too cold to my taste. He is the kind one is never sure where one stands in their eyes!

6. She comes across as a genuinely talented in her profession and a warm person. She deserves someone nice and warm too - not cold and calculative people like her Ex or Mr Xiaming..

OK ranting over !!

thank you ! I wish more people watch this series :)

thanks you for the Info. Its unfortunate not many people are following this gem of a series! it deserves more eye balls and better score.

dont know much about Douban scoring, is it a good or a bad score?

thank you for recommending "The ideal city" . II watched a few episodes , and I'm enjoying the parallels. Though sun Li's role seems similar , if you look at both drama as pure educational , both has some valuable lessons in them.. both are gems.. and only Sun Li could have played both these roles in these dramas.. though it may seem a repeat, i appreciate she is casted in both these roles , it added weight to the character
