Episode 1 recap: Bank President Dai Qi Ye died in a car accident.
Lujiazui Financial City, known as the "Oriental Manhattan," is located in the core area of Shanghai and is a dream place for many young professionals in Shanghai. Tao Wu Ji and his girlfriend Tian Xiao Hui work hard together, and Tao Wu Ji has been working at the Binjiang Branch of Shenmao Bank for two years, still an inconspicuous frontline teller. He hopes to make a big breakthrough in the financial industry one day and marry his girlfriend soon.
At this job deployment rally, Tao Wu Ji saw the Vice President Zhao Hui, whom he had heard about for a long time. Colleague Cheng Jiayuan whispered that Shenmao Bank had won the leading role in the bank bidding for the construction project of Fukang Building, but Zhao Hui always acted low-key and did not publicize it widely. Tao Wu Ji listened attentively to Zhao Hui's speech on the stage, carefully remembering every word and sentence. No matter where they are, they must not forget the responsibilities of bankers because finance is the lifeblood of the real economy, and what bankers need to do is to allocate financial resources such as funds to where they are needed, to various industries and households.
Towards the end, Zhao Hui humorously reminded everyone that bankers should create value for customers but should not forget that banks need to make profits and create value for shareholders. After the conference, Bank President Dai Qi Ye privately talked with Zhao Hui. Jiaxiang Holdings Group hoped to use bank loans to rescue the market, but after Zhao Hui read the guarantee application, his face showed difficulty, and he said he couldn't sign that document. He also advised Dai Qi Ye not to get involved to avoid trouble.
However, Dai Qi Ye had his own ideas. He believed that in banking, there should be nine righteous and one evil, and within the framework of compliance, as much operational space as possible should be provided to customers. Jiaxiang Group had done everything it could, but international capital was still suppressing its stock price. These capital forces not only pursued profits but also tried to encroach on Jiaxiang's market share and national industries.
Therefore, Dai Qi Ye decided to lend a helping hand, regardless of the outcome, he would have no regrets. As soon as Zhao Hui left, Dai Qi Ye made a phone call to a mysterious person. Tao Wu Ji wanted to find Dai Qi Ye, who had praised him before, hoping to use connections to enter the property department, but he failed to meet Dai Qi Ye, and the two passed by each other.
Similarly, Tian Xiao Hui's job interview did not pass, and both of them had bad luck.
Zhao Hui saw on TV that Jiaxiang Industries' stock price was continuously falling, so he immediately called Dai Qi Ye to remind him of the high risk involved. He was willing to offer help because Dai Qi Ye was not only his mentor but also a selfless person.
Dai Qi Ye was deeply moved and told Zhao Hui not to worry. His friend Cao Jia Xiang was trying to boost the stock price. Jiaxiang Industries was supported by Dai Qi Ye from the beginning, and it was closely tied to Cao Jia Xiang's interests. Therefore, Miao Che analyzed the situation for Zhao Hui and advised him to dissuade Dai Qi Ye if he made any new requests.
Zhao Hui called Dai Qi Ye again to inquire about his situation. Dai Qi Ye seemed to be in a good mood and mentioned the "Five Dangers" that were mentioned earlier. That evening, while distracted by listening to the pessimistic report about Jiaxiang Industries, Dai Qi Ye had an accident and fell from a high-speed bridge.
The next day, Xie Zhi Yuan tried calling Dai Qi Ye while accompanying his wife Shen Jing to the kindergarten, but no one answered. On the other hand, Tao Wu Ji encountered Zhao Hui in the restroom and was about to talk to him about his job placement when someone rushed in and informed them about Dai Qi Ye's accident. The two hurriedly left.
Dai Qi Ye's wife, Ouyang, couldn't bear the shock and fainted, and she was taken to the hospital. The Discipline Inspection Commission of the headquarters quickly intervened to investigate the situation, while Ouyang firmly believed in her husband's innocence and, despite her grief, defended him. Both Zhao Hui and Xie Zhi Yuan were students of Dai Qi Ye, and for them, Dai Qi Ye was not only a benefactor but also a mentor and father figure. They discussed personally taking care of Dai Qi Ye's affairs.
Similarly, Tao Wu Ji also felt heavy-hearted and arrived at the accident scene with flowers, feeling uncertain about the future.
