Episode 27 recap: Qiu Bi Zheng is afraid of going to jail and wants to withdraw his shares.
Xu Ban Xia has been lying in the hospital for several days, and her bones are starting to rust. At this moment, she finally understands why Chen Yu Zhou didn't like staying in the hospital and always ran outside. Xu Ban Xia looked at Zhao Lei's back as he busied himself with work and couldn't help but ask him how long he planned to stay this time. When she learned that he had to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, she felt disappointed and asked Zhao Lei if he would even remember her if Su Guo Dong hadn't called him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei knew that Xu Ban Xia had concerns, so he closed his laptop screen and explained to her that he wanted to finish his current work as quickly as possible and try to come back next week or the week after to spend more time with Xu Ban Xia. Xu Ban Xia cautiously asked Zhao Lei if he had considered returning to work in Binhai and spending more time with her. Zhao Lei had actually thought about it, but he was still adapting to the working style of a foreign company. Although the current company was just starting out and there was a lot to do, it also meant more opportunities.
Xu Ban Xia understood Zhao Lei's meaning and felt disappointed, but she couldn't selfishly ask Zhao Lei to give up. Gao Xin Yi sat on the windowsill at home, looking at the familiar scenery downstairs. It was as if she could see the day when Tong Xiao Qi and Chen Yu Zhou came to find her, their smiles shining brightly. On the ice rink, Tong Xiao Qi found the runaway Gao Xin Yi. Staying at Tong Xiao Qi's house, leaning against each other while listening to music.
Gao Xin Yi explained that when she agreed to marry Tong Xiao Qi, it wasn't for any other reason but simply because she loved him. She had already seen the changes in Tong Xiao Qi and believed that he was her only one. However, going to the United States to study was something she had to do, so she could only propose a breakup, hoping to meet again if they were destined to.
Tong Xiao Qi found it difficult to let go of his feelings for Gao Xin Yi. He looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but take out the engagement ring from the drawer. He didn't know what he was thinking. Xu Ban Xia has been facing some financial difficulties lately, and Tong Xiao Qi gave her the money he earned from his fleet, even saying that he wanted to sell the fleet. This made Xu Ban Xia feel like he was fooling around, but Tong Xiao Qi had his own ideas.
Qiu Bi Zheng was afraid of getting into trouble, so he invited Feng Yu to have a meal together and invited Wu Jian She. He wanted to persuade him to stop. Feng Yu didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Qiu Bi Zheng believed that he also had a share and should join him in persuading Wu Jian She. Even if they had to give up profits, it would be better than going to jail.
Xu Ban Xia is like a sword hanging over Wu Jian She's head. Now that Wu Jian She hasn't recovered his capital, asking him to vigorously tackle pollution without considering profits is like asking for his life. Feng Yu is a fence-sitter who not only doesn't speak up for Qiu Bi Zheng but also advises him not to make things difficult for Wu Jian She. This infuriates Qiu Bi Zheng, who immediately leaves the table and goes to the prison to discuss a solution with Guo Qi Dong.
Guo Qi Dong learned that Wu Jian She had disregarded warnings and continued to discharge pollutants, thereby violating the law. He advised Qiu Bi Zheng to withdraw from the situation promptly. Qiu Bi Zheng understood this in his heart as well, but he was unwilling to retreat like Feng Yu and live a peaceful life in the countryside. So Guo Qi Dong gave him an idea: invest all his money in Xu Ban Xia's hands.
After thinking it through, Qiu Bi Zheng shamelessly approached Xu Ban Xia. He had conducted an investigation and knew that Xu Ban Xia's funds wouldn't last for more than a month. Xu Ban Xia was also aware of the pollution caused by the construction of the steel plant, as even her own factory had uncovered several foul-smelling water pits, causing panic among the workers.
Xu Ban Xia promised to provide clean water for everyone and expressed her inability to afford any delays in the project. She urged everyone to return to their respective positions and work diligently. Qiu Bi Zheng seized on Xu Ban Xia's financial shortage as a weakness and persuaded her, making her agree to arrange the funds within a month.
Upon returning to the company, Qiu Bi Zheng transferred six million from the account. When Wu Jian She discovered the problem with the financial chain, he vented his anger at the finance manager and then softened his tone, urging Qiu Bi Zheng to return the money promptly. He assured Qiu Bi Zheng that once the goods were delivered and the situation was resolved, he would address Qiu Bi Zheng's problem first.
Qiu Bi Zheng's current thought was to withdraw his shares as soon as possible. He was prepared to break off their relationship completely. At first, he begged Wu Jian She to spare him, but Wu Jian She believed he had never mistreated Qiu Bi Zheng. If someone had to die this time, he wanted Qiu Bi Zheng to die with him.
When Gao Xin Yi learned that the fleet was going to be sold, she hurriedly went to find Tong Xiao Qi. Unexpectedly, Tong Xiao Qi had enrolled in a cooking class specifically to learn the most popular dishes in Chinatown. He planned to open a restaurant there and accompany Gao Xin Yi while she studied. Gao Xin Yi was deeply moved and embraced Tong Xiao Qi tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Chairman Gao was surprised today when Gao Xin Yi prepared a large table of food for her to eat. He asked her what she wanted. Gao Xin Yi announced her intention to get married, which made Chairman Gao, who was the last to know, both angry and aggrieved.
