Episode 12 recap: Tao Wu Ji wants to ask Zhao Hui to be his teacher.

Tao Wu Ji thought it over and still handed Dai Qi Ye's recommendation letter to Zhao Hui, and Dai Qi Ye believes that Tao Wu Ji is very much like the young Zhao Hui - a young person with dreams and guts. So Tao Wu Ji wants to ask Zhao Hui to be his teacher, and Zhao Hui's mood is extremely complex, as he indeed sees the shadow of his past self in this young man, who represents Zhao Hui's original aspirations.

Zhou Lin questioned Zhao Hui about how he sees her, and Zhao Hui expressed that as a single mother, Zhou Lin indeed has many difficulties. There are many ambiguous feelings between the two, and Zhou Lin took the initiative to breach that barrier, embracing and kissing him, just as Su Jian Ren happened to witness this scene, to his great shock.

Tao Wu Ji and Zhao Hui only sustained minor injuries. Tao Wu Ji revealed the matter of Henghuigong company borrowing money from Xia Ning, and Zhao Hui is well aware that Xia Ning is a cunning broker in the financial circle, adept at using lending money to enterprises as a cover to create a false impression to attract investment. Once things go awry, he will withdraw the capital with interest.

Although Zhao Hui warned to be cautious, Tao Wu Ji believes that he can secure the Fukanggongdaxia project, and in addition to caution, there are other factors. Both agree that besides capability, bank employees also need belief and integrity, and personal feelings can become a driving force or a weakness.

Tao Wu Ji sees Zhao Hui as a role model and handed him Dai Qi Ye's recommendation letter, and Zhao Hui sees his younger self in it.

The Wu Xian Long father and son meet with Su Jian Ren under Xie Zhi Yuan's arrangement.

Zhao Hui accidentally encounters Zhou Lin and Xuan Xuan, and discovers that her relationship with her mother-in-law is tense. He originally doubted Zhou Lin's words, but now he feels deep sympathy. Zhou Lin tentatively probes Zhao Hui's view of her, and starts to cry. Zhao Hui silently comforts her. Su Jian Ren brings a cake to Zhou Lin's home, but is politely turned down.

Zhou Lin deliberately reveals Su Jian Ren's pursuit of her, trying to probe Zhao Hui's attitude.

Su Jian Ren witnessed Xie Zhi Yuan using Zhou Lin's femme fatale tactic, and is furious, misunderstanding that he has stolen the two women he likes.

Xie Zhi Yuan wants to explain, but Su Jian Ren angrily hangs up the phone.

Wu Xiaofei regards Tian Xiao Hui as a capable assistant, taking her to various banquets. Tian Xiao Hui discusses work with Tao Wu Ji, but Tao Wu Ji is concerned about her involvement in illegal real estate activities.

Both of them want to buy a house in Shanghai, but Tao Wu Ji chooses the cheaper suburban area, disappointing Tian Xiao Hui. Tian Xiao Hui's promotion and raise have caused jealousy among her colleagues, which she silently endures.

Cheng Jiayuan has a secret crush on Hu Yue, and hopes that Tao Wu Ji can help, but Tao Wu Ji avoids it because of Hu Yue's affection for him.

Learning that someone has come to Henghuigong to collect a debt, Tao Wu Ji and Cheng Jiayuan rush to the scene, and are surprised to find the debt collector is Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui gives Henghuigong three days to raise the funds, so Tao Wu Ji has to frankly tell Su Jian Ren that Henghuigong has borrowed a high-interest loan. Su Jian Ren agrees to give Henghuigong a chance, and Zhao Hui also sees Henghuigong's potential and decides to help them, arranging for Tao Wu Ji to prepare a report.

Tao Wu Ji is deeply grateful.

Tian Xiao Hui reveals the information she knows to Shen Jing, who encourages her to be more proactive in seeking opportunities and instills in her the idea of unscrupulous means to achieve her goals, hoping she can establish a foothold in Shanghai.
