Story summary

Su He receives an acquisition offer for her corner flower shop from a chain brand. While Gu Yuan looks forward to expanding their design business through it, she is reluctant to give up the small-scale operation where she retains autonomy, making it difficult for the two to reach an agreement. They individually review the transaction terms and future responsibilities, ultimately deciding that Gu Yuan will independently take on external design work while the flower shop remains in Su He's hands. Their years of partnership shift to a new mode of collaboration, avoiding the demand that a shared enterprise require two people to always choose the same path.
