Jia Wei sees the divorce party as an opportunity for two unsuitable people to find a new direction in life. But the rich people invited to the party, the ex husband’s friends, are there just to show off their wealth not to give sincere blessing to the two people who decided to separate themselves. They don’t care about Xiao Qing’s feelings.
Later, at the divorce party an auction was organized. They are selling everything that the couple had. The ex grooms presents to Xiao Qing are sold really well, but only thing that comes from Xiao Qing’s side it’s the brooch that her mother gave her on the wedding day and no one wants it. It’s not significant for the rich snobs from that party. Hearing Xiao Tong and Xiao Qing talking, Jia Wei buys that brooch from double the staring price.
After the auction Xiao Tong searched for Jia Wei, but she couldn’t find him so she left her business card with one of his friends. Jia Wei goes to look for Xiao Tong, but he ends up following her.

She was looking for him to buy the brooch back, it’s an important item for her family.

The next morning, Jia Wei comes to Xiao Tong’s office with her phone. After returning her phone, Jia Wei is curious about her reminder “One year’s heartbreak”. While one could say that he was comforting her for the break up, he was actually promoting his agency.
Xiao Tong’s agency organized a love seminar that she will conduct. While she begins her presentation, Xiao Tong sees in the audience Jia Wei. She presents the 4G type of men that women like at the moment and Jia Wei is the exactly opposite of it.
