Episode 14 recap: Zhao Lei left Rongsite Company.
Chen Yu Zhou started dating, but he didn't tell anyone about it. However, Gao Xin Yi accidentally discovered this fact. Gao Xin Yi immediately told Tong Xiao Qi about it. Tong Xiao Qi, curious and excited, rushed to the accounting office and asked Chen Yu Zhou who his partner was. Chen Yu Zhou was about to explain when Xu Ban Xia sent someone to call him to the office. He thought Xu Ban Xia wanted to talk about his dating situation, so he hurriedly told Xu Ban Xia not to listen to gossip. This made Xu Ban Xia, who initially had no knowledge of the situation, aware that something was going on. Xu Ban Xia then clarified and found out that Chen Yu Zhou's love interest is named Zhou Qian, a fashion designer with a similar background to Chen Yu Zhou. This created a strong connection between Chen Yu Zhou and Zhou Qian.
Xu Ban Xia didn't believe that Chen Yu Zhou, who had never been in a relationship before, could understand the feeling of being in love. So Chen Yu Zhou explained in detail that he couldn't see Zhou Qian, but he would think of her. Thinking of her made him happy when he was feeling down. He hoped that Xu Ban Xia could also experience love.
In the company, Zhao Lei hasn't received his salary for two months and is under scrutiny during an audit. However, he hasn't done anything dishonest. The three issues at hand are: one is orchestrated by Steve's loyal follower, the second involves irregular hospitality expenses, and the third is the payment of 20 million without a contract with Xu Ban Xia. But the company has made a lot of money from this, so there is no reason to relentlessly pursue him.
Zhao Lei knows that someone is scheming behind his back. He no longer wants to stay and has decided to leave. Qin Fang Ping, who has been with Zhao Lei for four years, sees that Zhao Lei is determined to leave and keeps asking if he has already secured a new job. Qin Fang Ping even threatens him, saying that leaving without a good track record would be unfavorable.
It's only now that Zhao Lei truly realizes who Qin Fang Ping is. Chen Yu Zhou goes on a date with Zhou Qian, and they both are delighted to see each other. Chen Yu Zhou feels it's not appropriate to just hang out, so he suggests going out for a meal. However, it's only around three o'clock in the afternoon, so it's too early for dinner. Zhou Qian suggests looking around the area instead.
Chen Yu Zhou is captivated by a necklace in a jewelry store and personally puts it on Zhou Qian. It looks exceptionally beautiful on her. When Zhou Qian hears that it costs over two thousand yuan, she is reluctant to buy it. Chen Yu Zhou insists on paying for it, leaving Zhou Qian happily admiring herself in the mirror.
Guo Qi Dong is of great value to Qiu Bi Zheng. Although Qiu Bi Zheng sent him to prison, he seeks the help of a lawyer to reduce Guo Qi Dong's sentence. During this time, whenever he visits Guo Qi Dong, he asks for his assistance in analyzing and solving problems.
Soon, Guo Qi Dong was released from prison, and Qiu Bi Zheng specially came to pick him up. He urged Guo Qi Dong to apologize to Xu Ban Xia and said that they had to rely on Xu Ban Xia now. Guo Qi Dong held resentment towards Xu Ban Xia but had to suppress his anger.
On this day, Wu Jian She arranged a meeting to reconcile the relationship between Guo Qi Dong, Qiu Bi Zheng, and Xu Ban Xia. Wu Jian She knew that if Zhao Lei didn't come, Xu Ban Xia wouldn't come either, so he invited Zhao Lei first.
Wu Jian She intended for Xu Ban Xia to sit in the main seat, but when Xu Ban Xia saw that Zhao Lei didn't take the main seat, he insisted on sitting beside Zhao Lei instead. Qin Fang Ping ended up sitting in the main seat. Although Guo Qi Dong tried to show goodwill towards Xu Ban Xia, Xu Ban Xia made an excuse and refused to drink the toast. So Guo Qi Dong directly expressed his true feelings, mentioning how Xu Ban Xia didn't provide evidence when he demanded steel materials and only presented the account books at the end. Guo Qi Dong suspected Xu Ban Xia had ulterior motives.
Xu Ban Xia knew that he did have some resentment at that time, which prompted his actions. He then drank the toast candidly, indicating that they could turn the page on their past issues. Wu Jian She was aware of the privatization of the state-owned enterprise, Sheng Er Steel. He was ambitious and, using Qiu Bi Zheng as a mouthpiece, proposed that he hold 50% of the shares, Xu Ban Xia hold 30%, and Feng Yu and Qiu Bi Zheng divide the remaining 20%.
Xu Ban Xia disagreed, stating that she was currently the most capable person. She confronted Wu Jian She directly, questioning whether he deserved that share. Wu Jian She realized that Xu Ban Xia had changed and had to listen to her as she redistributed the shares. They agreed to hold an equal 40% stake each, with Xu Ban Xia having three years of operational control and a veto power. If she managed well, she would even acquire a stake of over 50%.
Wu Jian She was infuriated by this and felt that his position as the elder brother was being challenged. He tried to contain his anger and asked Zhao Lei for his opinion. Zhao Lei directly stated that none of them were qualified to take over Sheng Er Steel. This made Wu Jian She so angry that he smashed a glass and blamed Zhao Lei, saying that if it weren't for his support of Xu Ban Xia, Xu Ban Xia would never have been qualified to sit there.
