At the beginning of the episode, the tense situation surrounding the compensation money for Ly - Dung's ex-wife is pushed to a climax.
Lam (Manh Truong) decided to stand out to resolve it definitively by paying 300 million VND, requesting Ly to sign a confirmation not to be prosecuted. "Eating people's money is not easy" - Lam forced her to return the 3 million VND that Thuong (Quynh Kool) had deposited earlier.
Hung stayed at home to learn about the incident of Thuong coming to borrow money from Bom (a person from the same hometown who lent at high interest rates). After Hung knew that his subordinates were involved in this, Hung was angry and blamed, advising his subordinates not to do bad things and lose the way back to their hometown.
In another development, Dung (Anh Vu) continued to reveal his opportunistic nature when meeting the director of a rival company. Dung seemed happy because his old company was struggling after the project demo clip leak, but tried to deny responsibility, blaming Trang. Immediately after that, Hung followed and filmed Dung's conversation clip to threaten.
After receiving the compensation money, Dung's ex-wife took the initiative to go to the police and withdrew the request for injury assessment. Trang became more mature here and learned many lessons.
In parallel with that, the emotional line between Trang and Hung continued to be strengthened. In the midst of Trang falling into crisis, Hung once again stood up to protect her by releasing a clip exposing Dung, helping her to be partly exonerated.
When she got home, Trang realized that her period had been delayed for more than two weeks, and worriedly thought she was pregnant. "Having to pay a price higher than money, would you still be tolerant of me?" - Trang asked Thuong to see her feelings.
Trang felt uncomfortable, Hung immediately realized something unusual and followed and asked Trang. After confiding, Trang knew Hung had feelings for her, Hung also expressed his willingness to be Trang's child's father if Trang accidentally got pregnant.
It's voluntary" - Hung shared when Trang thought she had taken advantage of him time and time again.
In another detail, when students at school clashed with each other, Ms. Hanh had an accident and had to be hospitalized. Thuong and Lam were extremely worried about her. Thuong wished Lam could be by her mother's side even more.
The episode ends with many knots still not untied, will Trang accept Hung's feelings and move forward strongly?
