By chance, Pan Qing met a young woman named Zhang Xuejiao (played by You You). Zhang Xuejiao was being forced to marry by her family because of her age, and she was feeling stressed.

This is a woman who is eager for quick success and greed. She feels that there is no future in opening a barber shop and cannot make big money, so she tries every means to force Pan Qing to transform the barber shop into a pet grooming salon.
