Learning to become irreplaceable

Xu Chi is having her first interview, but things did not happen as planned. She meets Ye Xin Zhi in the hallway who finally gets her to speak truth instead of panned interview speech. She is in desperate straits because her mother committed suicide and she is on her own with absentee dad and no place to live. He gives her step by step instructions on how to proceed to get noticed by a major consulting firm. She uses his words as a guide and succeeds against the odds. All is going well until her mentor is convinced XuChi is out for her job. Xu Chi tells her straight up that her plan is to become irreplaceable and she has no sights whatsoever on her job. However her mentor remains unconvinced and starts making things unnecessarily difficult for her. 😝 She again runs into Ye Xin Zhi and thanks him for his suggestions. He notes her progress and explains that her mentor is worried she will be replaced and it’s easier to halt a young lion than gain the needed self confidence to thrive as a mentor and leader in company. She leaves Xu Chi stranded at the meeting site in retaliation for trying to save the account and showing her up at the meeting. This episode did an excellent job introducing the characters and putting them right to work in their environments. The cast interacts well and their characters are believable. We get an up close view of the office dynamics and feel for Xu Chi holding her own and refusing to be cowed by an overbearing mentor.

i am kinda bored & that's saying something,…

i am kinda bored & that's saying something, given all the drama, but i kinda don't care. Ji is being his usual pompous ass self; one sec he needs babying, the next he wants to humiliate & belittle Shen Mo using strangers. he doesn't care if he is doing the "hurting" or it's others, as long as he sees Shen Mo hurting - then he's back to caring & i am kinda over it. more so over how Shen Mo is still moved by anything ji does - why he always look shocked by Ji's treatment or behavior? they haven't been together for a week or a month, am willing to bet they together more then a yr - he still not used to Ji's crazy manipulative behavior? like toughed up - after everything u've been through, this should be a piece of cake & he's got a dead line - Ahana's wedding. idk i am kinda over the soft "bottoms" that can't defended themselves against a strong wind, it's tiresome to watch IMO. if it was a female i would roll my eyes, so why should i think it's ok when it's a male?? this victim complex is so cliché & off putting ugh ***************************************************************************************************************************the rest of the ep feels like filler, that really is going by my ears & nothing is registering - as i don't feel anything was really that important. hope this picks up pace or i am gonna fall asleep & drop this ugh

still not enough back story to get who is…

still not enough back story to get who is against whom & why - i get why Shen Mo feels the need to be obedient & bow his head regardless of Ji's treatment of him. but his wanting Ji to have genuine feelings for him - is that stockholm syndrome?!? cause Ji isn't a considerate lover, not from the little we have seen, he treats Shen Mo like a tool or a toy. & as Shen Mo isn't a toy, i get that not every encounter would be devoid of feelings as the body is a well oiled machine & even if he wasn't connected emotionally - if u "press the right buttons" one will & can feel pleasure. so is that translated into affection in Shen Mo's mind, a survival mechanism to endure what he has "signed" himself up for?!? time will tell - **********************************************i wanted to really dislike Ahana, but in-spite of being spoilt brat she is kinda sweet. i don't think she would come in between Shen Mo & Zhou Yang, if she knew they were together. but she has been kept in the dark regarding the man she loves. so i really can't fault her, for what was done to them or Shen Mo. same with the fact that i can't really hate on Zhou Yang, he was a teen too & didn't want to leave Shen Mo, but did so in the hopes that if he went along this time - maybe in the future his family would be more accepting of his one wish (to be with Shen Mo) how could he dream, that they would go after Shen Mo & harm him in such a way he would break things off with him?!? so i can't hate or fault him now that he is desperately trying to reconnect, yeah it's f*cked up when u take Ahana into consideration, she is old enough for him to have a honest talk with.... something he should've found the time to do when they were living together in another country - plenty of opportunities IMO so on that front him going along to get along - feeding her delusions is f*ked-up. but trying to makeup with Shen Mo is the most logical move considering that they were very in-love when left to study in London. him wanting to pick up where they left off is a logical move. idk why Shen Mo not having a candid conversation about what Zhou Yang's family did to him, give him the facts so he can realize when u went though & will also understand why u don't want to put ur-self in a similar position ever again. ***regarding Ji - i am clueless as to what is motivating him, the fact he is crazy jealous of Shen Mo & Zhou Yang's relationship - very obvious. so i think he has really strong feelings towards Shen Mo & then the next sec he is treating him like dirt - with little to no consideration to how he feels, what he wants or if he is ok with whatever... hope we get more info so i can get the bigger picture.
