Episode 29 recap: Wu Jian She resorted to sinister tactics to undermine Xu Ban Xia.

Wu Jian She approached Xu Ban Xia, hoping that she would take over his steel factory. He argued that the production line was still usable, and it would save Xu Ban Xia millions of dollars in investment. However, Xu Ban Xia expressed her inability to help, as her new steel factory's first phase was about to be completed and couldn't be halted. Moreover, Wu Jian She's equipment was outdated and bound to fail, making it obsolete.

Frustrated by Xu Ban Xia's refusal to fall into his trap, Wu Jian She angrily speculated that Zhao Lei and Xu Ban Xia had conspired to engineer this outcome from the beginning. Xu Ban Xia felt helpless but honestly reminded Wu Jian She that at this stage, he needed to reflect on his own issues. However, Wu Jian She still believed that it was Xu Ban Xia's establishment of the new steel factory that prevented Chairman Gao from saving him.

Chairman Gao was busy preparing luggage for Gao Xin Yi, but she was feeling restless because she had just discovered that she was pregnant. This interfered with her plans, and she wanted to have an abortion. Initially, Chairman Gao was overjoyed upon hearing about Gao Xin Yi's pregnancy, but he became angry when he learned that she didn't want the child. He admonished her, reminding her that she was going to be a mother and shouldn't rebel in this way.

Convinced that Xu Ban Xia wouldn't extend a helping hand, Wu Jian She couldn't stand to see her succeed. He instructed the village chief of Xiutan Village to accuse Xu Ban Xia of engaging in improper beach pollution practices to lease their tidal flats. However, there was no actual substantial evidence to support the claim. Nevertheless, the court, considering the matter's connection to land disputes, took it seriously and ordered the steel factory to cease operations. This would undoubtedly be detrimental to Xu Ban Xia.

Upon learning that Xu Ban Xia had been accused, Chairman Gao immediately suspected Wu Jian She's involvement. He personally called Wu Jian She, urging him to face his own problems. He emphasized that his refusal to help was not because of Xu Ban Xia's new steel factory but because Wu Jian She had already violated national laws.

Unwilling to listen to any more of Chairman Gao's words, Wu Jian She threw his phone on the floor and ignored all attempts at communication. Xu Ban Xia understood that the village chief was the key figure and instructed her employees to continue their work within the regulations while she personally went to find the village chief. The villagers had a positive perception of Xu Ban Xia, and when the village chief saw her approaching, he knew he was in the wrong and quickly hid inside his house.

Xu Ban Xia shouted through the door, offering to fulfill any requests or resolve any difficulties the village chief had, as long as they were reasonable. However, the village chief refused to show himself or engage in conversation.

Chairman Gao urgently called Xu Ban Xia and asked her to return to the steel factory immediately. Xu Ban Xia had no choice but to inform the village chief that she would come back to see him another day, hoping that he would seriously consider her request.

Chairman Gao informed Xu Ban Xia that Wu Jian She was the one behind the scenes causing trouble and asked about the conflict between the two. Xu Ban Xia openly stated that Wu Jian She had approached her a few days ago, hoping that she would take over his steel factory, but she had refused. Therefore, Wu Jian She was now trying to drag her down, causing a complete collapse for both parties.

After much thought, Xu Ban Xia concluded that the only solution was to transfer the company to someone else and personally engage in a legal battle to overcome the difficulties. She called a meeting and decided to appoint Tong Xiao Qi as the company's legal representative, while Jia Chang An would assist Tong Xiao Qi in his work. Xu Ban Xia also instructed Gao Xin Yi to prepare financial reports to address the upcoming plans.

Tong Xiao Qi didn't want Xu Ban Xia to take responsibility for the pollution in Xiutan Village. He knew very well that it was his and Xiaochen's plan, and Xu Ban Xia was completely unaware. He decided to confess and take the blame himself. Upon hearing the truth from Tong Xiao Qi, Gao Xin Yi couldn't stop her impulsive actions, but Tong Xiao Qi paid no attention and immediately left.

Gao Xin Yi got into another car and chased after Tong Xiao Qi. After a difficult pursuit, she finally managed to stop him at a bend, but she couldn't change Tong Xiao Qi's mindset. So she revealed her pregnancy, which temporarily calmed down the impulsive Tong Xiao Qi.

Upon receiving Xu Ban Xia's call about going to Shanghai specifically to deal with Mrs. Zhao's matter, Zhao Lei realized that there must be something behind it. He hurriedly returned to Binhai. When he learned about Xu Ban Xia's predicament, he took her to Wu Jian She's steel factory and urged her to think carefully. Considering Xu Ban Xia's journey so far hadn't been easy, he didn't want her to only prepare for a complete collapse. He explained the pros and cons, highlighting that taking over Wu Jian She's steel factory could alleviate financial pressure.

Persuaded by Zhao Lei, Xu Ban Xia and he drove to the village where Wu Jian She was located. It took some effort to convince the villagers to lead them there. When Qiu Bi Zheng, who was held captive in a cattle shed, saw Xu Ban Xia's familiar figure, he quickly spoke up. Seeing that it was indeed Xu Ban Xia, he advised her not to go see Wu Jian She. After all, Wu Jian She at this point would be eager to find a scapegoat.
