Zhong Wu Yan: Ep 5 Summary

Zhong Wu Yan: Episode 5 Recap.

On her first day at work, Wu Yan was immensely disliked by her peers due to her look and the fact that she was working with QiXuan. It didnt help her cause when Qixuan obviously disliked her and yelled at her to stop interfering with him at work.

During break, Wuyan noticed how wasteful everyone was with the coffee supplies, throwing away each freshly brewed pot because they didnt want to drink"old coffee". As such, she made a suggestion to one of the manager to issue coffee vouchers to staff instead to cut down waste. However, her proposal was met with much staff dissatisfaction who bear greater grudge against her nosy interference.

While the receptionist was fuming about the "stripped" free office coffee supplies, theblind guy came to look for Wu Yan. However the petty receptionist immediately denied his request saying there is no such employee. Undeterred, the blind guy started to yell for Wuyan. David walked past and heard him yelling and came to investigate. When he realised what happened, he demanded the receptionist to lead the blind guy to the waiting area and get Wuyan for him. The receptionist reluctantly led him to the room and she got hit by the blind guy who pretended it was an accident. Blaming it all on Wuyan, the 2 receptionist conspire to lock Wuyan in teh toilet cubicle and drenched her with a pail of wet water.

Qixuan passing by the toilet overheard her pleas for rescue entered the toilet. He bargained that he would let her out only if she agreed to quit and leave his home which she refused. Qixuan then told her to "repent" as she must have done something to incur everyone's hatred. As such, he left her stuck and told her to wait for the cleaners to rescue her tomorrow morning. Before he left, he left a "toilet maintenance" sign on the door. Before he left office, David asked if he wasnt gonna wait for Wuyan which Qixuan refused saying he has no reason to. david explained that it was bad enough that she is facing despise from all directions and to suffer such treatment from Qixuan, it must be hard for her being all alone in a foreign place. Qixuan said it was all her fault since she had "stolen" item belong to his late mother, and monopolising his dad attention, and is she going to steal his best friend as well? David decided to let the matter rest and sent him home.

At home, his father asked what happen to Wuyan but Xuan feigned ignorance about her whereabouts and refused to look for her. His dad asked how could he be so heartless esp when she had carried him back with much difficulties when he was drunk previously. Only realising that, Xuan immediately said he would look for her.

When he arrived at the toilet, he was shocked to see her crying and bleeding, drenched all over. Genuinely concerned, he tried to help her but she was too pissed and refused his help outright. She yelled at him for being so insensitive about the fact that she knew no one and all she could count on was his support but for him to turn on her like that was too much. When she stormed out, she bumped into the blind guy who was waiting for the cab.

The blind guy asked why was she wet and Xuan misunderstood him to be molesting Wuyan and stepped forth yelling for the blind guy to stop. They started to "argue" but Wuyan stopped them. The blind guy said he will be back since now he knows where she is. When Xuan and Wuyan left, the blind guy muttered to himself that Xuan is truly as empty headed as the rumours go.

At home, Xuan offered to help Wuyan with the bandage. He said he wasnt going to apologise but conceded that since the whole situation was conceived by his father and not her, he proposed a truce and for them to work harmoniously from now on.

The next day, David's mum gathered all the board of director for a meeting on the pretext of being concern on Xuan's progress for the proposal. Xuan headed off to the meeting with great confidence. David and Wuyan were worried as to how he will be "attacked" about his continuous inability to contact the client director- Qing Chu. Xuan naively said it wont happen and headed off. Wuyan told dave it was pointless to sit and wait and she will try to meet up with Qing Chu.

Firstly, she pretended to be courier and tricked the secretary in revealin the "schedule" for the Qing Director. She was told he will be leaving office in 15min. Next, She pretended to be a new employee scouting the office and tried to find out information from the security guard about the car. When she saw the car departing office, she ran after it to try to stop the director so that he can read their new proposal. When she managed to stop it by throwing an icecream cone, the guys within didnt want to listen to her but she quote a line she had read before, what the Qing director had once said about failure and success. - "I am not afraid of failure as it only drives me to work harder to succeed. I fear Success as it will instead hold me back pacing on the same spot." The blind guy was in the car and heard her.

The car stop and the "Qing Director" alighted and asked her one question. "Are you Zhong Wu yan?" Surprised, she acknowledge. With that, the director said he will consider working with her company. Meanwhile, although Xuan's idea was well received, Dave's mum tried to make him look bad by mocking that everything is pointless if he has yet to contact the client. Just then, Dave appeared and have Xuan report the good news that the client has agree to consider the new proposal with interest.

Back in office, Xuan shared the news with delight with Wuyan. He didnt know it was her help and thought it was Dave who had come thru for him. Dave didnt understand why Wuyan wouldnt let him tell Xuan the truth but she said she had misgivings and the whole episode is too bizarre. She confided she didnt understand why the QIng director would know her name, and agree to consider the proposal when he didnt even read it. She was mystified.

Meanwhile, it was revealed that the blind guy is the true Qing Chairman and the older man was just his uncle pretending to be the director on behalf. The uncle asked to read the new proposal but the blind guy said forget it since the empty headed Xuan will not come up with anything good. Rather, he just wanted to toy with them to punish wuyan for "abandoning" him to work for Xuan. Plus he thought she is an interesting opponent to spar with and he wanted to see what other interesting things she can come up with to deal with the situation.

The next day, the "Qing director" summon Xuan and Wuyan to his office. Explaining his intention was to have them not to report on the new proposal but rather have them "care" for his nephew who had just arrived from the countryside. He wanted them to show him around and care for him for the day. Xuan agreed.

On way, Wuyan asked Xuan why did he agree since it was alittle too unreasonable request but Xuan explained it must be terrible for a kid to be cope up in office whole day and not see the city after coming from the countryside. So he was happy to take the kid around and have fun. When they entered the room,both were shocked to see it was the blind guy!!!

thanks for this recap. Can't wait to get home to watch this ep on viikii- I hope it's already subbed there. It is a pity that there is no fansub group willing to sub Zhong Wu Yan as it is soooo good. This series keeps on growing on me the more I see of it. Episode 4 was really good and the preview for Ep 5 and your summary looks promising. I sooo hope you're going to continue writing these!!!

Heeei... I'm watching this too ^_^ it's very torturous to wait for a week for update (glad that guminho is twice a week). I didn't read your recap first becoz ZWY is kind of predictable. While for Hotaru, rather than having a week of heartbreak, always rush to your blog to peek *big grin.

@kerstin: really??? but the rating is quite good and keep rising. I'm sure there will be soon enough.
