"Thirty Only" is not only a TV series about women's growth and self-awakening, but also brilliantly shows the entanglements and complex interpersonal relationships inside and outside marriage. Among them, what is particularly striking are the two characters who seem to be "scheming girls": Li Ke and Lin Youyou.
Both have clear goals and superb means, but the results are completely different: Li Ke was easily solved by Gu Jia with 25 yuan oranges, while Lin Youyou relied on a blue firework on his chest to make Gu Jia's world pierce his heart.
In the middle, in addition to the differences between the two women, there is also a key figure: Xu Huanshan.
Li Ke is an ordinary woman, her appearance and ability are at an average level, but she has a strong scheming. She bought an orange for 25 yuan and took the initiative to show favor to Xu Huanshan, but she failed to shake Xu Huanshan's heart.
There are three reasons for this: first, Li Ke is still a novice, and her scheming and methods are relatively shallow; secondly, she caused substantial losses to the company, which gave Gu Jia a good reason to deal with her; In the end, Xu Huanshan only had some good feelings for Li Ke, but it was not to the point where it was difficult to control himself.
Gu Jia's vision was keen, and she knew Li Ke's intention of sending oranges at a glance, she didn't give Xu Huanshan the slightest chance, and made a decision directly: to fire Li Ke. All this is because of Gu Jia's timely discovery and decision, as well as Li Ke's own shortcomings.

Compared with Li Ke, Lin Youyou is more cunning and intelligent. She not only knows how to create an atmosphere, but also is proficient in the psychology of men and women, and accurately captures Xu Huanshan's weaknesses.
Xu Huanshan is a person who feels good about himself, is romantic, and likes to be admired. In his eyes, Gu Jia is a person who is too pragmatic, and what he wants is a partner who can make him feel free and needed.
Lin Youyou skillfully found Xu Huanshan's weakness, and she used a seemingly natural way to make Xu Huanshan have a strong affection for her. She used the blue fireworks as a symbol to successfully shake Xu Huanshan's heart and eventually make him lose himself.

Xu Huanshan is a key character in this story, and his behavior determines how far the two "scheming girls" can go. His lack of emotional loyalty and sense of responsibility makes him particularly vulnerable to the temptation to refuse. If he can have a little self-control and a little bottom line for marriage and feelings, then neither Li Ke nor Lin Youyou can easily destroy his relationship with Gu Jia.
The 25 yuan orange and the blue fireworks on the chest, these two seemingly insignificant things, have completely different effects between different situations and characters. Gu Jia could easily deal with Li Ke, but it was difficult to deal with Lin Youyou, the most important of which was Xu Huanshan himself. His character and behavior determine the direction and ending of this story.

Gu Jia is deeply in love with Xu Huanshan, but she also knows that Xu Huanshan is sometimes susceptible to external influences, especially a woman like Lin Youyou, who is full of charm and mystery. Gu Jia was afraid, afraid that she would lose Xu Huanshan, and this fear made her lose her calm and judgment towards Lin Youyou.
For Xu Huanshan, he is actually a person who struggles between multiple choices and responsibilities. He loves Gu Jia, but he can't completely resist the freshness and temptation brought by Lin Youyou. His hesitation and indecision exacerbated the contradiction between Gu Jia and him, after all, no one could accept this betrayal.
In this multi-dimensional and multi-layered network of relationships, the 25 yuan orange and the blue fireworks on the chest are no longer simple symbols or tools, but the embodiment of different expectations and fears in everyone's hearts.
This may be the complexity of life and human nature, which makes it impossible for us to simply judge and choose.
Sometimes, just because you can handle one person successfully doesn't mean you can handle everyone and everything. Because in the end, it's not your wisdom or skill that determines everything, it's the person you're facing, who he is, and what he wants. In the story of Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan, we see the perfect embodiment of such a truth.
