Episode 30 recap: Xu Ban Xia has reached a new collaboration with Wu Jian She.

The unexpected presence of Xu Ban Xia and Zhao Lei surprised Wu Jian She. He now owns a hardware factory in his village, equipped with the latest German machinery and has a decent production capacity. It is his only asset. Wu Jian She planned to have a farewell dinner to bid everyone farewell and asked someone to bring Qiu Bi Zheng from the cowshed.

At the dinner table, Wu Jian She brought out his personally picked plum wine and poured it for everyone. Xu Ban Xia praised it, saying it tasted like childhood. Wu Jian She sighed, reminiscing about the time when he and the other four members of the group went north to work in the steel industry. Except for Feng Yu, who retired to a peaceful countryside life, the others were all troubled and overwhelmed.

Wu Jian She had lived a life of adventure, but never expected that in the end, he would end up losing face. He was prepared to go to jail, but to his surprise, Xu Ban Xia voluntarily proposed to take over the steel factory, admitting that she had been too hasty in her previous decision. Wu Jian She thought Xu Ban Xia was joking because no sensible person would take over such a mess like the steel factory.

Zhao Lei mentioned the emerging real estate industry, and Xu Ban Xia, with her foresight, had already acquired a large piece of land while building the steel factory. She not only wanted to take over the steel factory and merge it with the new one but also wanted to play together with everyone. She would own 60% of the steel factory, giving 25% to Wu Jian She, 10% to Qiu Bi Zheng, and 5% to Feng Yu.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi Zheng and Feng Yu were particularly excited. They recalled how Xu Ban Xia used to be a small merchant who had to flatter and make great efforts to go north with them. Now, she had experienced so much and become the most successful among the five of them. They couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Everyone knew Xu Ban Xia's determination and was grateful that she stood up at this moment to lead them.

Wu Jian She cast away his previous desolation and regained his radiance. Chairman Gao learned that Xu Ban Xia intended to demolish and sell the old Second Steel Mill and advised her against it. After all, the Second Steel Mill had been in existence for decades, and many people had sentimental attachments to it. He was concerned that it might trigger negative emotions among the public.

Xu Ban Xia had a hard time reaching a consensus with Wu Jian She, and if they didn't proceed with the fastest plan, it would greatly affect her project's progress. The consequences would be unbearable. Chairman Gao understood Xu Ban Xia's predicament and changed his attitude, deciding to guarantee the matter for her, allowing her to focus on her development wholeheartedly.

Xu Ban Xia is getting married to Zhao Lei and wanted to bring him home to meet her family. Aunt Liu and Xu You Ren were discussing Qian Qian's future. Aunt Liu planned to send their child abroad for studies, but the cost was high. Xu You Ren thought of asking Xu Ban Xia for money. However, Xu Ban Xia surprised them by announcing her upcoming marriage, leaving them startled. She then revealed at the dinner table that she owed the bank several billion yuan, leaving Xu You Ren speechless and frustrated. He couldn't help but curse Xu Ban Xia, as their peaceful days were disrupted by her investments, making it impossible to repay such a huge debt.

Xu Ban Xia insisted on taking care of her own problems and told Xu You Ren not to interfere, leaving him speechless. Tong Xiao Qi, since learning about Gao Xin Yi's pregnancy, expressed a strong desire to have the child. He had never felt so settled before and went out of his way to prepare delicious food for Gao Xin Yi.

Gao Xin Yi sensed Tong Xiao Qi's intentions and became angry. She believed that she hadn't yet figured out the world but was already going to be a mother. She felt trapped and unable to escape, so she left without eating. Xu Ban Xia planned to have a prenuptial agreement with Zhao Lei, but he refused to accept it. He wanted to know if Xu Ban Xia was worried about burdening him or concerned about dividing her assets. Xu Ban Xia actually knew her own personality well. If she fell into a pit, she didn't want Zhao Lei to fall into it with her. If she succeeded, she hoped Zhao Lei would pull her back.

As soon as Zhao Lei understood Xu Ban Xia's concerns, he reassured her that she had matured and was no longer the toxic person she used to be. Wang Quan learned that Xu Ban Xia had become a wealthy businesswoman, while he himself was not doing well and was driving a taxi. He harbored ill feelings toward Xu Ban Xia and secretly followed her, unable to stand seeing her happy, especially now that she was getting married.

After Gao Xin Yi stormed out of her home with nowhere to go, she sought out Xu Ban Xia. Xu Ban Xia was concerned when she saw Gao Xin Yi in tears and asked her what was wrong. Gao Xin Yi, while happy about her pregnancy, was troubled about whether or not to keep the child. After all, the child would hinder her plans to go abroad, while Tong Xiao Qi and Chairman Gao were both eagerly anticipating the arrival of the baby.
