The Early Spring Episode 6 — Hindi Dubbed

The Early Spring Episode 6 begins with Shang Zhitao still trying to create distance between herself and Luan Nian after their complicated relationship has become impossible to ignore. When Luan Nian asks her for a piece of bread in exchange for taking back the expensive designer handbag he previously gave her, Zhitao reluctantly accepts the gift. As she leaves, she notices that Luan Nian's car contains numerous expensive gift boxes. This makes her wonder whether he routinely keeps gifts ready to use when he wants to buy someone's silence. She tells Sun Yu that she may have been foolish to develop feelings for him and worries about facing him at work again. Zhitao attempts to rationalize her feelings by recalling the psychological concept of misattribution of arousal. She wonders whether the intense emotions she experienced while Luan Nian was rescuing her from danger were actually caused by fear, adrenaline and the circumstances rather than genuine romantic attraction. Sun Yu encourages her to stop dwelling on Luan Nian and concentrate on becoming successful in her career. Taking the advice seriously, Zhitao decides that she needs to become more mature and establish clear boundaries between herself and her boss. To make that separation permanent, Zhitao approaches HR manager Liang Xin and requests a transfer away from Luan Nian's team. Liang Xin agrees to move her into Team 2. Team leader Alex initially wants to know more about Zhitao before accepting the transfer, so he asks Luan Nian for an assessment. Luan Nian first refuses to get involved, but when Alex indicates that he may reject the transfer, Luan Nian finally gives an unusually thoughtful evaluation of Zhitao. He explains that she may not possess extraordinary natural talent, but she is patient, hardworking, resilient and quietly ambitious. His assessment reveals that, despite his harsh treatment of her, he genuinely recognizes her potential. Alex accepts Zhitao into Team 2 as an account executive. On her first day in the new team, Luan Nian confronts her and asks whether she transferred because of the handbag and whether she is using the situation to obtain a promotion. Zhitao calmly tells him that she accepted the bag and will keep her promise not to reveal anything about their private encounter. She also makes it clear that she intends to let her work performance determine her future rather than relying on him. Lumi tries to persuade Zhitao to remain with Luan Nian's team. She reminds Zhitao that although Luan Nian is often sharp-tongued, he protected her during the Guangzhou business dinner and personally risked his life to rescue her during the mountain landslide. Zhitao nevertheless refuses to change her decision. She enters Team 2's meeting while Lumi goes to Luan Nian and asks him to bring Zhitao back. Luan Nian refuses and instead orders Lumi to complete her quarterly work report within a strict deadline, effectively ending the conversation. During Team 2's briefing, Zhitao is assigned to prepare meeting minutes using the team's official template. Annie notices that Zhitao is particularly skilled with Excel formulas and asks her to prepare a profit-and-loss spreadsheet and a pivot chart as well. Zhitao immediately accepts the additional work. During a break, she practices English vocabulary while Li Tianran approaches her. He assumes that she must have suffered badly while working under Luan Nian and asks whether she was the employee involved in the earlier conflict that caused Luan Nian to challenge the company. Zhitao openly confirms that she was that employee, surprising him even more because she has now voluntarily transferred away from Luan Nian. Later, Zhitao finishes the meeting minutes and submits them, but Annie explains that Alex expects meeting records to be distributed immediately after every meeting. She also warns Zhitao to maintain strict confidentiality and avoid becoming too close to employees from other teams because sensitive client information could easily be leaked. Zhitao realizes that the new team has its own demanding standards and begins adapting to her new responsibilities. Meanwhile, Luan Nian meets with the company's senior management. The company wants him to consider the larger interests of Lime Advertising and assures him that the Qipai business will not simply disappear. Luan Nian agrees to protect Lime's business interests and is told that he will attend the company's upcoming awards ceremony, where senior management plans to introduce him to several important clients. He is promised that the new opportunities could compensate for the loss of Qipai. Team 2 soon takes over the Qipai account, but a major problem emerges. The client wants Team 2 to continue using the proposal and execution strategy previously developed by Luan Nian's team. Zhang Ling therefore assigns Zhitao to obtain the original source files from Luan Nian. Zhitao approaches Luan Nian for help, but he refuses to simply hand over the files. With the deadline approaching and her new team depending on her, Zhitao becomes increasingly anxious because failure to obtain the source material could put her position in Team 2 at risk. Unable to solve the problem through normal channels, Zhitao decides to wait outside Luan Nian's home. She remains there until he returns late at night, heavily intoxicated. When Luan Nian struggles to get into his apartment, Zhitao helps him unlock the door and gets him inside. He is too drunk to take care of himself properly, so Zhitao stays and looks after him. At one point, Luan Nian holds onto her instead of allowing her to leave, leaving Zhitao caught between her determination to maintain professional boundaries and her concern for him. The next morning, Luan Nian wakes to find Zhitao asleep on the sofa. She explains that he vomited during the night, so she cleaned both their clothes and helped him change. She then brings up the source files that she desperately needs for Team 2's Qipai project. Luan Nian does not immediately answer. When he goes into the bathroom to shower without addressing her request, Zhitao assumes that he still intends to refuse and prepares to leave. Because her clothes are still being washed, she puts on Luan Nian's suit jacket temporarily and heads out. Just as Zhitao reaches the bus stop, Luan Nian calls her and tells her to return immediately because something has supposedly been stolen from his apartment. Zhitao assumes he is talking about the suit jacket and returns, prepared to explain that she only borrowed it because her own clothes were being washed. She offers to return it immediately if he does not want her wearing it. The supposed missing item, however, is not the jacket. Luan Nian has actually decided to help her. He copies the original Qipai source files for Zhitao and tells her to use them to create an improved final version rather than simply submitting the old proposal unchanged. Zhitao is thrilled that she finally has the material she needs. Luan Nian also gives her practical advice about improving the proposal, demonstrating that even after their transfer and personal complications, he still wants her to develop professionally. While Zhitao works on the revised proposal, Luan Nian prepares breakfast for her and puts her washed clothes into the dryer. His actions contrast sharply with his usual cold and sarcastic behavior at the office. Once Zhitao finishes the work, the two leave together and take a ride toward the office. During the journey, Luan Nian reviews her proposal and points out several improvements she can make before presenting it to Team 2. Zhitao becomes nervous about arriving at work with Luan Nian and worries that their colleagues will misunderstand their relationship. She asks him to let her get out before they reach the office so nobody sees them arriving together. Luan Nian initially makes one of his usual sarcastic comments, but ultimately allows her to leave first. Zhitao takes the completed source material and revised proposal back to Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling is surprised that she managed to obtain the files and quickly realizes that Zhitao and Luan Nian apparently still have a connection despite her transfer. Zhitao nevertheless remains focused on proving herself in Team 2. Episode 6 closes with her successfully delivering what her new team needs while the complicated relationship between her and Luan Nian continues beneath the surface.
