Zhang Youting asked Du Li for advice on the style of the museum, and Du Li humbly said that he would listen to his arrangements.Then, Zhang Youting asked Du Li about his evaluation of the B&B he designed for Wang Xiaoqing and the coffee shop he built for Du Mantang. Du Li gave a thumbs up with satisfaction.When the topic turned to whether Zhang Youting had seen his mother, Zhang Youting suddenly fell silent.
Zhang Zezhong recalled to Du Mantang that when Su Mary planned to go out for business, he mistakenly thought she was having an affair and firmly opposed Zhang Youting leaving with her.Looking back now, Zhang Zezhong feels guilty and worries that if Zhang Youting had left with his mother, he might have lived a good life instead of suffering in this alley.Du Mantang comforted him and emphasized that his hard work in raising Zhang Youting was well known to the neighbors.Zhang Zezhong lamented that if Zhang Youting followed Su Mary, he might have become a corporate executive.Du Mantang suggested asking Zhang Youting about his wishes and praised his quality, thinking that this was also the reason why Du Li chose him.Zhang Zezhong always cares about Zhang Youting's happiness.
On the other hand, Xiao Wang organized the elders in the alley to go on a trip, and they enjoyed it.Xiao Wang's colleague Xiao Li took the opportunity to promote the company's housing-based retirement plan. Although Xiao Wang verbally stopped him, he actually acquiesced.During the trip, everyone came to a beautiful building. Xiao Wang revealed that this was a nursing home cooperated by the company. The service was considerate and attracted the interest of the elderly. However, he was unable to visit immediately because he did not make an appointment.
In the old courtyard, Du Li chatted with Zhang Youting and mentioned interesting stories from his childhood, which inspired Zhang Youting's design inspiration.Mr. Du appeared alone on crutches. Du was happy that his mental state had improved, but soon discovered that the old man no longer recognized him and urged him to take medicine.Pierre happened to capture the moment of the old man, and was caught by Lei Zi, who reminded Pierre that the word "voice and appearance" does not apply to living people.
Du Manyi suspected the true intentions of Xiao Wang and others and tried to expose them. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang called the police and accused him of blackmail, which ended in embarrassment. The old man was even more angry.Du Mantang insisted on his opinion and thought Xiao Wang was a liar, but Du Mantang didn't believe it and punished him to stand at the door.At this time, Zhang Youting showed Du Mantang the first draft of the museum design, but Zhang Zezhong ignored it because he was angry.Du Mantang persuaded Zhang Zezhong to hope that his son would succeed, and hinted that Zhang Youting would understand this painstaking effort when he becomes a father in the future.
At the dinner table, Zhang Zezhong told Zhang Youting his past of being trapped in an alley due to lack of help from noble people, and encouraged him to admit his mistakes in exchange for his mother's help and a better future.At this time, Su Huirong appeared and provided Zhang Youting with two career path options: one is to become her assistant and is expected to become executive chairman in the future; the other is to own an office building in Lujiazui and start his own business.
