《The Early Spring》 Episode 21 plot introduction

Liang Xin walked into Luan Nian's office solemnly and took out a stack of photos of him and Shang Zhitao being close.The two suspected that this was Chen Dong's back-up plan.Liang Xin had long noticed that the relationship between the two was unusual, and it was only because they had always been measured in their work that they did not interfere. Now that the photo was handed to the company, she could no longer treat it as unknown.

Lingmei's night is about to announce the expert candidates. Lumi told Shang Zhitao in advance that this time the competitor is Song Ying, and her father has brought 250 million yuan in advertising investment to Lingmei.Lumi still believes in Shang Zhitao's ability and feels that her achievements over the years are enough to win this opportunity.Shang Zhitao prepared carefully and looked forward to the result.

But the name announced by Luan Nian that night was Song Ying.Song Ying expressed in public that she was willing to share this recognition with Shang Zhitao.Shang Zhitao smiled politely and praised the other person for being young and outstanding. There was still a lot he didn't understand when he was the same age.When it came time to toast, she couldn't sit still and went out alone to get some air.

Luan Nian came out to comfort her, saying that she was excellent and didn't need to care too much about other people's opinions.What bothered her was why, even though he knew that the other competitor had special conditions, he still didn't remind her, leaving her to sit there unprepared.She said she would watch a movie with Sun Yu later, and he casually asked if she had also made an appointment with Sun Yuanzhu, but she didn't know that this friend had passed away.

Shang Zhitao asked if he could put aside the 250 million yuan and give himself a fair evaluation based only on his ability.Luan Nian said that this was an ordinary competition, and if she continued to do well, she would still have a chance next time.But she originally chose Lingmei because she believed there were fair rules and that people who work hard can change their situation.Every step she took was difficult, but he didn't really hear her disappointment.

As the conversation continued, the two started arguing again.She accused him of always doubting herself and being unwilling to talk properly, but he said coldly that his patience was limited.Seeing her crying, he wanted to hug her, but she proposed to end the relationship.For six years, they had never really had an open, trusting relationship.Luan Nian was stung and asked her if her plan to move up had failed and she was about to leave her. She even said angrily that she could be replaced by someone else without her.

Shang Zhitao left heartbroken, not knowing what else happened behind the selection.Song Ying's qualifications were specially approved by the board of directors. After the photos were exposed, Liang Xin once told Luan Nian that even if he resigned immediately, he might not be able to keep Shang Zhitao's position.Luan Nian argued with her, and finally agreed to give this quota to Song Ying, on the condition that another expert quota be obtained for Shang Zhitao; at the same time, he was planning to apply to work in the United States, leaving the current direct management relationship, so that she could continue to stay in Lingmei.

He also asked Liang Xin to keep it secret, fearing that if Shang Zhitao found out, he would be forced to choose between work and love.He originally wanted to block the pressure for her, but he hid all his true plans. When he spoke in person, he only had hurtful and angry words.

Shang Zhitao went back to pack his luggage and prepared to take Luke with him.Luan Nian advised her not to make a regretful decision, and she said she would not look back.The dog refused to move at first, so she let go of the leash in frustration and went downstairs alone.After walking for a while, Luke suddenly ran from behind. She hugged him and cried.Luan Nian hid in the corner and watched, but did not come forward again.

Sun Yu prepared hot water for her and listened to her talk about the failure of her long-prepared competition. She felt sorry for Sun Yuanzhu's efforts in helping her.Sun Yu comforted and advised her not to do stupid things. He had already lost Sun Yuanzhu and could not lose her again.She also invited Shang Zhitao to come to her company, believing that she could do a good job in another place.

At this time, my mother sent a message saying that my father had fallen and fractured his bones and hoped that she would take leave and go home.Shang Zhitao cheered up and decided to deal with his resignation first.Luan Nian was also preparing to leave for the United States in a week. The two passed each other in the company without speaking.Liang Xin received the resignation report and repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, promising to continue to fight for opportunities. Shang Zhitao still insisted on leaving, pointing out that Luan Nian's approval was no longer required according to the process.

Walking out of the familiar office area, she seemed to see herself again, dragging her luggage and knowing nothing, and finally said goodbye to Ling Mei.Brother Lei is also sorting out the belongings left by Sun Yuanzhu and preparing to sell the house.Only then did everyone realize that the money to buy the house was actually borrowed from Sun Yuanzhu. He just wanted to give his friends a stable place to live. Now that he is gone, Lei Ge wants to return the money to his family.

Shang Zhitao decided to return to Harbin, and before leaving, he took a group photo with Sun Yu and Lei Ge standing next to Sun Yuanzhu's photo.When seeing her off at the airport, the two men told her that if anyone bullies her in the future, she must tell them.Lumi received her farewell message and stood by the vacant workstation with red eyes.Shang Zhitao had previously given her the bag sent by Luan Nian for sale, and finally revealed the relationship that had been hidden for many years.Lumi didn't blame her, he just told her to remember that she could speak whenever she needed her.

Before boarding the plane, Shang Zhitao sent Luan Nian a last message, thanking him for his six years of companionship.After the news was sent, she blocked him, leaving her work and relationship in Beijing behind for the time being.
