Background / History

Work Under Shen Yi

Shen Yi introduces Pang Zhimei to newcomer Chen Haoyu as the secretary responsible for overseas communications and external business. He specifically recommends asking her about email and telephone etiquette 8.

After Shen Yi resigns, the department shares his duties and gradually becomes exhausted. Even the normally good-natured Pang joins the others in pleading for Secretary Li to raise the issue of hiring a replacement 24.

During Shen Yi’s temporary return for the handover, Pang is overwhelmed by conflicting appointments, two simultaneous calls, and an urgent email. Shen Yi intervenes, answers a call, and directs her to prioritize the email to Hengfa Pharmaceuticals rather than let every incoming call interrupt her work 28.

Nuohe Pharmaceuticals Business Trip

Pang accompanies Yuan Chen and Shen Yi to D Country for the final Zemigla licensing agreement. It is her first business trip with Yuan Chen and her first experience flying first class. Shen Yi reassures her about her competence while acknowledging his own limited German 56.

At the Heinrich family castle, she offers to help Shen Yi with the practical preparations. He instead asks her to concentrate on interpreting and taking minutes. Later, Yuan Chen orders her to check on Shen Yi; she finds his room empty and receives no response to knocking or calling 57 59.

Witness to the Secret Relationship

After Yuan Chen locates Shen Yi, he calls Pang to arrange a discreet hotel. During the drive, she witnesses Shen Yi kiss Yuan Chen and Yuan Chen reciprocate. Before taking Shen Yi upstairs, Yuan Chen orders her to act as though she saw nothing and forget the day’s events 60 61.

Back at work, Pang cautiously checks on Shen Yi’s health. He assures her that he is fine and thanks her for helping finalize the contract, deliberately preventing a deeper discussion of the trip 63 64.

She later returns to the office for a forgotten shopping bag and encounters both men emerging from the reception room. Yuan Chen reminds her that his confidentiality order still stands 70.

The burden of keeping the secret becomes a comic ordeal. While her coworkers speculate about Yuan Chen dating, Pang remains silent. She privately writes down what she witnessed, tears the note into scraps, and eats them; Secretary Li and Secretary Chi try to make her spit out the paper 71.

Drunken Disclosure and Marriage Announcement

After drinking heavily at a department gathering, Pang rides home with Shen Yi and Secretary Li. During Yuan Chen’s speakerphone call, she blurts out that the two men have kissed. When Yuan Chen calls her phone directly, she panics, and Shen Yi answers for her 73 74.

Pang remembers the incident afterward and remains visibly afraid, cautiously asking Shen Yi to deliver her documents to Yuan Chen. Later, when the secretaries speculate about Shen Yi’s unidentified boyfriend, she confidently bets five hundred that he is very handsome 74 95.

Shen Yi eventually announces his upcoming marriage at a team lunch, then identifies Yuan Chen as his partner. The secretaries congratulate them after their initial shock 104 105.
