Episode 13 recap: Gao Xin Yi started working at Xu Ban Xia's company.

President Gao didn't want Gao Xin Yi to stay in the scrapyard. She believed that her daughter, who had learned foreign trade and had such good English, should leave that environment. So she asked Xu Ban Xia to arrange for Gao Xin Yi to work in her company. Xu Ban Xia offered a high salary, but she didn't think Gao Xin Yi would definitely come. President Gao not only wanted her to arrange for Gao Xin Yi to join the company but also prohibited her from doing business with the steel companies through her own channels.

Time flew by, and Ban Xia Steel International Trading Company officially opened. Gao Xin Yi was indeed called by Xu Ban Xia to work there. Gao Xin Yi agreed to come mainly because of Tong Xiao Qi. Xu Ban Xia noticed that Gao Xin Yi's clothes were mismatched, so she took her to the mall to buy professional attire. Gao Xin Yi made it clear that if she didn't want to work, Xu Ban Xia had to agree that she could leave at any time and didn't have to wear professional attire.

Xu Ban Xia threatened her by saying, "If you can't see Tong Xiao Qi," and Gao Xin Yi immediately put away her aggressive attitude and cooperated obediently. Xu Ban Xia arranged for Gao Xin Yi to learn from Chen Yu Zhou, who welcomed her warmly. Gao Xin Yi quickly noticed that Chen Yu Zhou's accounting methods were incorrect and jumped in to help, surprising Chen Yu Zhou.

Gao Xin Yi told Xu Ban Xia that one of the reasons she liked Tong Xiao Qi was because she saw how good he was to Xu Ban Xia. She believed that being his girlfriend would definitely make her happy. Moreover, her father used to own a steel factory. He was reported for secretly producing steel and spent five years in prison. After being released, he has been supporting President Gao's work, which led to her current achievements.

Therefore, Gao Xin Yi didn't care that Tong Xiao Qi had been to prison. Feng Yu's extramarital affair was actually known by his wife for a long time. She endured it and waited, but she couldn't make Feng Yu turn back. Eventually, she gave up and asked for a divorce. Wu Jian She tried to mediate, but Xu Ban Xia, as a woman, understood how Feng Yu's wife felt and supported her decision.

Feng Yu's wife had been supporting the factory all these years, which allowed it to thrive. Now she only takes her own share of the money and gives the rest to Feng Yu, hoping he can manage it well. The international scrap steel market has been on the rise, and Xu Ban Xia sells scrap steel to Rongte Company at a price of 1,000 yuan per ton. This made Zhao Lei regain recognition within the company, and Steve changed his previous harsh attitude, hoping to cooperate more with Xu Ban Xia.

Xu Ban Xia gave Zhao Lei a million-dollar check to thank him for his support and help, but Zhao Lei refused, citing "bribery" as the reason. So Xu Ban Xia changed her approach and invited Zhao Lei to a meal as a gesture of gratitude. Xu Ban Xia arrived at the restaurant early, dressed up meticulously, and when Zhao Lei saw the enchanting Xu Ban Xia, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Xu Ban Xia had a new grand blueprint in mind. She wanted to build a dock and brought Wu Jian She and others on board. Taking advantage of the rising steel prices, they would fetch scrap steel from the Black Sea and sell it. Zhao Lei had thoughts of leaving the Southeast Asian company, and Xu Ban Xia immediately tried to win him over, offering the one million as capital for him to join their venture. She wanted him to become her advisor directly, so she would have someone to consult and trust.

This time, Zhao Lei had a gift for Xu Ban Xia. When Xu Ban Xia eagerly guessed that it was a necklace, she was disappointed and annoyed to find out that Zhao Lei had actually given her a paper-cutting knife as a symbol of friendship. She inserted the paper-cutting knife directly into the steak, intimidating Zhao Lei a bit.

Xu Ban Xia's ten-thousand-ton dock opened for business. The speech written by Chen Yu Zhou didn't match Ban Xia's speaking style, so she decided to speak from her heart, hoping for a better future and winning enthusiastic applause from everyone. Wu Jian She saw that Xu Ban Xia had been getting better and better over the years, and he felt a twinge of sourness. He knew that Xu Ban Xia had some conflicts with Guo Qi Dong and Qiu Bi Zheng, but with Guo Qi Dong about to be released, he wanted to make peace with both sides and leave himself a way out for future encounters.

During President Gao's visit to the ten-thousand-ton dock, she mentioned the trend of national economic development and suggested that Xu Ban Xia consider taking over the equipment that the country was eliminating. After all, it was very advantageous, and the Second Steel Plant would publicly tender. She hoped Xu Ban Xia could seize this opportunity. Chen Yu Zhou's parents saw Chen Yu Zhou on TV, and now they no longer felt that he was embarrassing. On the contrary, they saw him as bringing honor to the family, which gave Chen Yu Zhou a great sense of accomplishment.

Xu Ban Xia proposed to establish her own steel plant and make Wu Jian She their downstream partner. This idea greatly excited Chen Yu Zhou and Tong Xiao Qi, and the three of them agreed to go ahead with it.
