Episode 1

Wei Zhe was with his psychoanalyst talking about what was going on and going wrong in his life that causing him so much stress.

He began to recount a rather hectic schedule helping clients with PR, not Public Relation but Problem Resettlement.

He confessed to his analyst that he likes solving other people’s problem so he doesn’t have to face his own problem.

And the current client he was guiding through his problem was a popular host, married to an actress.

The host had been caught to be having an affair with a young actress.

Apparently the rumour was an inside job.  The young actress had been feeding information to the press.

Wei Zhe was able to bring Geng Yue to his house and confront the scandal together with his wife.

Wei Zhe spoke to Geng Yue’s wife and asked what she wanted to do.  The wife at first was prevaricating, she does not want to face the problem of the infidelity of her husband.  To help her, Wei Zhe reminded the wife of the good things she shared with her husband when they were still both starting together and struggling in their respective careers.

The wife, however, said that she had made up her mind.  She wanted a divorce.  She will divorce her husband.

Meanwhile the lead girl, Jiang Da Lin was living in Australia and working as a state agent.  She would made a killing selling a mansion for $10Million to another Chinese lady but she can’t just do it.  She had to tell the client the reason why the mansion was on the market for quite a reasonable price.

Jiang Da Lin dragged the client away from signing the contract to tell her first that the previous owner committed suicide in the bathtub in the mansion.

Her Australian boss (who needed some acting lessons) was so annoyed with losing a sale so he fired Jiang Da Lin.

Jiang Da Lin said that it was worth it.  She couldn’t somehow shortchange a compatriot.

At that moment, her mother called her to tell her that she had booked a ticket for Jiang Da Lin to return urgently to China.

Episode 2

Wei Zhi was in the bar when a woman wanted him to get him a drink.  But he was not interested.

But as he got up, he suddenly fainted right in front of the pregnant PR of Geng Yue’s wife.

He ended up in the hospital and the doctor told him that physically nothing was wrong with him but mentally, he had suffered an acute anxiety disorder, which is a panic attack.

This was overheard by his pregnant rival.

The next time he went to his analyst, she confirmed that he ticked all the boxes for panic attack and the cure was for him to give up his line of work as solving problems for his clients, a little bit of their problems stay with him, which overburdened him.

DL International was in trouble.  Du Shaokun, Da Lin’s father had gone to find him somewhere.

Du Shaokun had ran off with the Penghan Fund.

As there was no onsite president or chairman for DL International, Stella tried a take over bid by forcing a vote for the new chairman/president and put forward herself for the position backed by her two closed assistants, who were also stockholders.

Director Li, wife of President Jiang attended and also two other stockholders who had been gotten by Stella.

Anyway, Director Li said that Stella was ungrateful to her mentor, the president but Stella said that it was far from it.  She wanted to be president so she can move the company forward.  Again she was back by her two minions.

Director Li called Da Lin on her mobile telling her to hurry back.

Finally, Da Lin arrived.

Director Li then proposed that Da Lin should be the President and Chairman as her husband wanted all along.

Everyone was surprised but none more so than Da Lin.

Anyway, Director Li started voting.  She had two votes as she was a legal proxy of her husband.  She then gave a killer look to one of the stockholders, she had already blackmailed a few hours ago.  The stockholder’s son had been naughty and had his finger caught in the cookie jar in one of their subsidiary company.,

The other stockholder also had the look from Director Li so he voted with her.

Stella lost and Da Lin was now the new president/chairman.

Da Lin did not want the position.  She said she had not even been once in the office to work, she can’t be president.

Her mother said that the whole company was now all hers as her father wanted her as his heir.  That is why the company was call DL, after her.

Da Lin drinking in the bar rather loudly.  She was telling off every shot she drank.

Wei Zhi found it refreshing and move near her and ordered the same shots.

He then asked her what made her so pugnacious?  Did her boyfriend just cheat on her?  Or did she cheat on her boyfriend?  Or was she having an affair with a married man?

Da LIn, was aghast but too drunk by then and fell asleep.

Wei Zhi paid her bar bills and asked the barman to take care of her.

He then left to go to Geng Yue’s house to talk to the warring husband and wife/.

He had found out that the young mistress set the trap all along.  She asked an old school classmate to take and post the videos online.

I have to admit, it took a while to get used to this drama because of the first five minutes was so hectic it was hard to understand what was going on reading the subtitles.  LOL But once you sort of got the gist, it was quite interesting and I am loving it.  The leads are gorgeous.

Episode 3

Wei Zhi sat down the warring husband and wife Geng Yue and Hu Jun.  He told them that Geng Yue was set up by his young mistress.

Hu Jun said that was not enough of an excuse.  Because he would do it again to her.

Geng Yue promised that he won’t.

Then Wei Zhi showed them his winning card.  The couple have five properties and to divorces they would lose heavily economically.  They might even lose all their properties for penalties with their advertisement sponsors .

Suddenly this was another kettle of fish for the married couple. They both said that she cannot afford to divorce and would stay married for the sake of their properties.

The wife though humiliated her husband in front of Wei Zhi.  She commanded Geng Yue to kneel down on the ground and slap himself hard three times in the face.

Wei Zhe signalled him to comply.

Wei Zhe said that if that was their final answer then his work is done.

However, as he was leaving he was having another turn again.

He had to go to his analyst first thing in the morning for evaluation.  He confessed to her that he hated his last assignment because he really wanted them to divorce because Geng Yue was a pratt.

Meanwhile, Da Lin moved to her parents’ old house. She was helped by her best friend Bonnie who was a teacher of acting.

A man in a masked and baseball hat intruded the DL International building.  He pasted banners everywhere which was to embarrass the new president.

Da Lin was being driven to the office with Shu Qing, who told her that there will be a press conference to introduce her to the public as the new president.

Episode 4

The press conference was a way to humiliate her.  Stella purposely remove the teleprompter to throw Da Lin amongst the wolves of the press.

But Da Lin was young and not a shy retiring virgin.  She knew that she was being a target practice by the press so she gave them as good as she got.

Even Stella was impressed and Wei Zhu who was watching the televised press conference laughed his head off.  He said that the girl had guts but she was a fool.

Da Lin knew that she was being fooled.  She asked her best friend Bonnie to find her an assistant as soon as possible.

Da Lin gave Bonnie what she was looking for in an asssistant.  He needed to be able to stand up against Stella, and yet be loyal to Da Lin.  He needed to be able to bring in business so they can compete with the other directors in the company.  And he had to be good at PR.

Bonnie told her that what she was looking for was one of those eunuchs of long ago.

Episode 5

Stella found out that her chances of falling pregnant is dwindling.  Apparently she has only one functioning ovary and it was deteriorating as well.

Episode 6

Wei Zhe is unconsciously obsessing about Da Lin.  We went live online as a guest of a vlogger.  She criticised Da Lin for being disrespectful to DL International’s carefully chosen journalists.  Wei Zhe reminded DL International that the press is the life and blood of Press Relations.

Da Lin was at first annoyed but the more she watched Wei Zhe’s vlog, the more she was impressed with him.  What he said was absolutely right.

Wei Zhe at the moment was like a hot potato, everyone wanted him in their firm, some even tantalised him of creating a new PR department just for him.

Stella asked him to join DL but he said he was going to think about it.

Shu Qing asked him to join DL as well as his senior at school.

Da Lin and Tan’s movie date was cancelled because her mother intervened with the budding love affair.

Wei Shu seemed to have gotten himself a new stepdad and stepbrother when his mother got married for the 7th time?

Anyway, the stepbrother seemed sweet and had promptly fallen in love with Bonnie, who was going mental because Lizst had complained about sexual harassment against her.

Stella celebrated her birthday with Ye Dong Lei in a club.  Ye Dong Lei was not used to alcohol because he was a gorgeous masculine geeky IT guy, who was still in university.

Ye Dong Lei was attracted to Stella and half-drunkenly fell into her and almost kissed her which was unfortunately photographed by her soon to be ex-husband, who showed the photo to He Hong Wei, the company lawyer who had a massive crush on Stella.

He Hong Wei said to Stella that a relationship with someone would complicate her divorce.

It so happened that Ye Dong Lei came to her office to tell her that from her recommendation, he had been recruited by a top-notched IT company and he would get an above-average salary starter.

Stella congratulated Ye Dong Lei politely but told him that he should be going to the hospital to tell his father and should spend his free time with him and not to see her anymore.  Awww

Anyway Da Lin and Wei Zhu flew to Sidney for business,  They had an extraordinary meeting where Wei Zhe faced the barrel of a gun because one of the employees who were due for redundancy brought a gun with him.

It was so tense that Da Lin felt really faint and Wei Zhe assured her that he will always protect her.  Awww.

Wei She help Shi Qing

Lin Ken confessed to Bonnie but she said she was not good enough for him.  She was not ready to jump into another relationship after Lizst.

Lin Ken had a dinner/house warming party.  He invited his zero blood brother Wei Zhe who brought Pei Yi with him.

Pei Yi was his first ex-girlfriend.

Also in the party were Da Lin who had Tan tagged along with her.

And of course Bonnie.

At the party, Tan especially went to speak with Wei Zhe and challenged him to a duel for Da LIn.

Wei Zhe said to him that at first he had a bit of reservation about Tan but now knew that he was really a nasty piece of work.

Episode 22

Awww Bonnie moved in with Lin Ken and they were officially going out.

Episode 23

Seriously Da LIn is the most stupid person ever. She was supposed to have MA in PR or something but she was a complete numbskull.

She helped an old schoolmate to post a sexual harassment statement against their biggest client.  She did not think that it would affect the others at DL and their client.

Once again, she lands DL international into the hot water.
