This New Year was undoubtedly a very twists-and-turns kind of year for Qu Xiaoxiao. On New Year's Eve, Zhao Qiping was halfway through delivering some discs to He Wenjie when he was intercepted by Qu Xiaoxiao and dragged back to her apartment. As the two of them were going at it in the room, Qu's father suddenly started knocking on the front door. Looking at the chaotic battlefield around them, the pair in the room reached a tacit understanding and chose to pretend nobody was home. At the same time, the quick-witted Qu Xiaoxiao texted He Wenjie, telling him to go upstairs and lure her father away.
Upon receiving the message, He Wenjie went upstairs and pretended he was heading to Andy's place, where he happened to run into Qu's father. Knowing that He Wenjie was the neighbor who had been teaching Qu Xiaoxiao about business, Qu's father warmly invited him to join their family for New Year's Eve dinner.
Of course He Wenjie wasn't going to go to Qu Xiaoxiao's place; going to a woman's house for New Year's Eve dinner carried implications that went without saying. While fending off Qu's father, He Wenjie told him that Qu Xiaoxiao was probably in Nantong following up on a major project and likely wouldn't be back until evening. Upon hearing that his daughter wasn't home, Qu's father exchanged a few polite pleasantries with He Wenjie and left.
