On their way home after the reunion dinner, Lin Pingping and Chen Huan chatted about Lin Pingping's life in the United States.Chen Huan wonders why Lin Pingping has never confided in him about her predicament, and Lin Pingping says she doesn't want to cause them any trouble.Chen Huan further asked whether people would first think of those closest to them when they are most helpless.Lin Pingping replied affirmatively that it was so.Chen Huan then asked why Lin Pingping chose to share it with Jing Man first instead of him when something happened.Lin Pingping explained that the closer she is to someone, the more she tends to only share good news and avoid passing on negative energy.After hearing this, Chen Huan said that he was mainly worried that Lin Pingping would be wronged abroad, and suggested that she return to China if she really couldn't.However, Lin Pingping insisted that she still wanted to make a career in the United States.Chen Huan affectionately persuaded her that returning to China was also an option for him.

Lin Pingping asked Chen Huan why he couldn't go to the United States for her. After all, many people from his school also went to the United States.Chen Huan didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the subject.On the other side, Hu Guilan got up early in the morning to sweep the snow in front of her door. Father Chen advised her to take a rest.Then, the two discussed whether to go to Lin's house to pay New Year's greetings and what to say during the New Year's greetings.Father Chen suggested saying some New Year greetings, but did not recommend mentioning Lin Pingping’s trip to the United States.

At the same time, Dahai mentioned that the factory was about to announce the list of laid-off workers, and Chen Qing was surprised by this because he used to go to work on the sixth day of the lunar new year.Dahai also revealed that he would no longer go to Luo Liqin's house because Chen Zhen had divorced Luo Liqin.Chen Qing was curious about how Dahai learned about this. Dahai vaguely said that Luo Liqin told him and avoided mentioning his chance encounter with Chen Zhen.Chen Qing took this opportunity to advise Dahai that a man should not always go out and ignore his family.Dahai was a little unhappy, thinking that Chen Qing was insinuating him, so Chen Qing suggested that he find a job honestly at home.However, Dahai had already called Chen Zhen and said that he had some difficulties here, but Chen Qing did not want him to intervene in the matter.

Later, Chen Qing learned that both she and Luo Liqin were on the laid-off list, and she felt very sad and lost.She went home and told Dahai that she never expected that Lin Pingping was the representative of the joint venture, and even Luo Liqin had seen her, but she had never seen her.Dahai felt that if Lin Pingping had said it earlier, maybe Chen Qing would not have been laid off.Chen Qing cried bitterly at the thought of being laid off, and happened to be caught by Chen Huan.Chen Huan mistakenly thought that Dahai had bullied Chen Qing. After asking, he found out that Chen Qing was laid off, and the representative of the foreign investor was still Lin Pingping.

Chen Huan found Lin Pingping and asked her if she knew that Chen Qing worked in the factory she was responsible for.Lin Pingping said that she did not know anything about it, and Chen Huan did not tell her in advance.Lin Pingping planned to call and ask Chen Qing to be replaced, but Chen Huan stopped her, thinking that it would be unfair to anyone.He warned Lin Pingping not to do such immoral things.Chen Huan had asked Lin Pingping before, and Lin Pingping also said that her work needed to be kept confidential.The two had a dispute, but in the end Lin Pingping admitted his mistake and said he would explain it to Chen Qing another day.

Faced with unexpected changes, Dahai found Chen Zhen and proposed to go abroad with him.Chen Zhen asked if he should tell Chen Qing, and Dahai suggested not to tell her for the time being, so as not to affect their plans.The two agreed to leave early the next morning, and Chen Zhen said Dahai didn't need to worry about the train tickets.In the evening, Dahai and Chen's father drank together. With the drunkenness, Dahai assured Chen Qing that it didn't matter even if she was laid off, he would support her.He promised to work hard to make money so that Chen Qing would have money to spend at any time.As he talked, Dahai became drunk.Chen Qing looked at him sleeping soundly and felt extremely happy in her heart.Finally, Lin Pingping told Chen Huan that she would leave the day after tomorrow. Chen Huan told her not to forget him and promised to call her.
