《The Early Spring》 Episode 17 plot introduction

After becoming aware of Chen Dong’s problem, Shang Zhitao asked Sun Yuanzhu to help search for public information and found that he was not only suspected of embezzling company property, but also used his position to harm female employees.Sun Yuanzhu handed her the information and reminded her to pay attention to safety.Lumi also came to her door and said that he came specifically for Chen Dong's affairs.The specific investigation cannot be disclosed, but she wants Shang Zhitao to know that there is someone behind her.

Chen Dong then invited Shang Zhitao to dinner and repeatedly asked why Lumi came to Hangzhou and whether he was under Luan Nian's instigation.She said she didn't know, so Chen Dong used the project threat instead, saying that if it failed, she would be the first to leave the company.Shang Zhitao did not give in, pointing out that his decision to stay or go was not up to him alone.She stood up and was about to leave, but Chen Dong blocked her way and forced her to the wall to continue threatening her.She pushed away with all her strength and fled to the hall only to find that a shoe had escaped.

A shocked Shang Zhitao called Luan Nian and said that she missed him very much.Luan Nian noticed something was wrong and asked if Chen Dong had harassed her, but she denied it while holding back tears.After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xinqi sent the shoe over.It turned out that before Shang Zhitao went to the appointment, she had already heard how Zhao Xinqi was threatened: the other party was drunk and sent back to the room by Chen Dong. He was then violated and threatened with taking pictures. She resisted desperately before running away, so she was always afraid of seeing him alone.

This time Shang Zhitao started recording in advance and agreed with Zhao Xinqi on how to seek help, hoping to leave evidence that could be reported.After she was in danger, she called for help. Zhao Xinqi and other girls came to stop Chen Dong, and she was able to escape.That night, she packed her bags and left Hangzhou, rushing back to Beijing.Luan Nian was hugged tightly by her before she even got up.He felt that the person in his arms was shaking, so he didn't continue to ask, he just held her more firmly.

During the company meeting, Luan Nian proposed to withdraw the Hangzhou team and move people to Beijing, but Chen Dong firmly opposed it.During the dispute, Liang Xin and others received a real-name report email with a recording left by Shang Zhitao.The meeting was interrupted, and Luan Nian finally understood why she was so scared when she returned home.Hearing Lumi angrily scolding Chen Dong in the corridor, he also rushed out, but was stopped in time by Tu Ming.

Luan Nian asked to call the police.Liang Xin's eyes turned red when she thought that most of the work in the company was supported by female employees, but now even the most basic safety was not guaranteed.She told Shang Zhitao privately that Chen Dong had been in trouble many times before but had never been dealt with appropriately, which meant that there was someone behind him to protect him, but this time she and Luan Nian would definitely continue to pursue the case.She also affirmed Shang Zhitao's courage and felt that she had not misjudged the person at the beginning.

The company launched an investigation, and someone first came to persuade Shang Zhitao to reconcile, on the grounds that they did not want the matter to spread outside.She clearly refused.Lumi submitted the materials he found, but investigators said there was insufficient evidence.Surprisingly, Tu Ming, who is usually disliked by Lumi, also brought a batch of investigative materials, providing new support for the pursuit of Chen Dong.

Luan Nian still minds that Shang Zhitao didn't tell him in time.He had asked, but she was taking the risk alone.Shang Zhitao explained that he was also in a company battle at the time and he did not want to cause him any more trouble.He felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this, feeling that she had always blocked him out, and that her harsh words made her even more exhausted physically and mentally.She proposed to go back and rest first, but he could only agree.Lumi came up to her outside the office, hugged her and sent her away, while Luan Nian stood behind and watched.

During the investigation, the company also accused Luan Nian of investigating Chen Dong privately out of competition.He immediately said that such a serious problem with the employer also showed that the company did not trust him, so he proposed to resign.Liang Xin then called and said that the business department wanted him to attend the meeting. The stock price was falling, and the other party still thought that he was just retreating in order to advance.However, he seriously stated that he asked the company to arrange a replacement as soon as possible.

On the way back, Luan Nian repeatedly thought about the scary details in the report email, and began to blame herself for venting her emotions on Shang Zhitao.He called her and went to find her in person.When Shang Zhitao heard that he had arrived, he immediately ran downstairs, held his hand, and promised not to hide it alone in the future.Knowing he was quitting, she begged to stay because she still wanted to see and work with him every day.

When the business department came to try to retain her, Luan Nian put forward clear conditions: provide stock compensation to injured employees, establish a safe office environment, and not force female employees to withdraw their lawsuits.In order to save the situation, the company finally accepted these demands, and Shang Zhitao and others received corresponding compensation.Liang Xin informed him to resume work, and he promised to go back next week, then turned around and teased Luke next to him.
