Episode 18 recap: Zhao Hui recommended Tao Wu Ji to the audit department.

Zhao Hui told Tao Wu Ji that he saw him as a particularly composed individual and hoped that he would continue to learn and improve himself. He believed that regardless of which department Tao Wu Ji ended up in, he should set a good foundation and become an excellent banker. That evening, Wu Xiaofei was planning to go out with Tian Xiaohui, but just as Tian Xiaohui was about to confess something to him, Tao Wu Ji suddenly appeared.

Upon seeing Wu Xiaofei with his hand resting on his girlfriend's shoulder, behaving intimately, Tao Wu Ji felt a surge of anger. Zhou Lin had already moved out of Zhao Hui's house next door, and Su Jian Ren had lost his job. Su Jian Ren proactively sought out Zhou Lin, expressing that they couldn't compete against those people and suggesting that they should leave together and live a life that others envied abroad.

However, Zhou Lin did not agree and politely declined Su Jian Ren's proposal. Tao Wu Ji was very grateful for Zhao Hui's guidance and favor, but personally, he preferred to stay in the corporate business department. However, Zhao Hui mentioned the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, and Miao Che even witnessed a large group of people leaving with their luggage. Subsequently, similar scenes with different groups of people appeared in various corners of the world.

It was this collapse that shook Miao Che and made him deeply feel the greed in the financial industry. During the frenzy of expansion, risk control was neglected. Therefore, Miao Che knew that someone had to take action in advance. Compared to most people, he had a better understanding of the process. This strengthened his determination to return to China to work in auditing, leveraging his strengths and realizing his initial aspiration to serve the financial industry.

Zhao Hui used this to encourage Tao Wu Ji, stating that he was a particularly composed individual and hoped that he would continue to learn and improve himself. Regardless of which department he would join in the future, he should set a good foundation and become an excellent banker. Tao Wu Ji understood Zhao Hui's good intentions and expressed his determination to do well in the audit department. Zhao Hui promised him a promotion after one year.

Regarding Su Jian Ren and his son's situation, Zhao Hui revealed the truth behind the disciplinary investigation to Tao Wu Ji. He also mentioned Zhou Lin, who had a striking resemblance to his late wife, but he knew he couldn't respond to her feelings and dared not accept them. Tao Wu Ji firmly believed in Zhao Hui's words and placed even greater trust in him.

The members of the audit department were discussing Cheng Jiayuan's ordeal and harbored discontent towards Tao Wu Ji, who had secretly exposed him. At the same time, Su Jian Ren took the initiative to message Li Sen for a meeting, but Li Sen didn't reply and put him on the blacklist. Su Jian Ren was left with nothing, drowning his sorrows in alcohol at home, in a pitiful state. This made his son, Cheng Jiayuan, resentful and frustrated.

Although Su Jian Ren posed no threat to Zhao Hui, Li Sen still held the position of the bank president. Xie Zhi Yuan and Wu Xian Long discussed bringing him down. Wu Xian Long assigned his son, Wu Xiaofei, to handle the matter and noticed that Wu Xiaofei was interested in Tian Xiaohui. Wu Xiaofei admitted that she was his lucky star and that everything went smoothly whenever she was around. He had thoughts of pursuing her.

Looking at it, Tian Xiaohui was at home struggling with whether to resign. Her mother had scraped together 500,000 yuan and urged her to seize the opportunity to buy a house. At this moment, Wu Xiaofei called and asked her to accompany him somewhere, advising her to dress up nicely. After a moment of hesitation, Tian Xiaohui decided to apply for resignation to Wu Xiaofei tonight and also informed Tao Wu Ji about it by sending him the location address.

In a dimly lit bar with passionate music, a group of people danced along, but Tian Xiaohui found it noisy and irritating. She just wanted to know what task Wu Xiaofei had for her. Wu Xiaofei deliberately kept her in suspense until he saw Li Sen sitting at a nearby table. He discreetly took out his phone to take a photo, but there was a security guard blocking his way.

Tian Xiaohui instantly understood why Wu Xiaofei had asked her to come. She came up with a plan to help him capture a photo of Li Sen kissing a young girl. Wu Xiaofei was once again amazed, believing that Tian Xiaohui was his lucky star and that he would always succeed when she was around. Initially, Tian Xiaohui had planned to resign, but she was swayed by his promise of a promotion.

Just as Tian Xiaohui was hesitating and preparing to speak, Tao Wu Ji suddenly appeared. Tao Wu Ji saw Wu Xiaofei with his hand resting on his girlfriend's shoulder, behaving intimately. He felt a surge of anger and couldn't understand why Tian Xiaohui had backed down from resigning. This led to a dispute between the two.

Zhao Hui drove alone to the construction site, looking at the towering buildings, and answered a call from Xie Zhi Yuan. Xie Zhi Yuan congratulated Zhao Hui in advance over the phone, but Zhao Hui requested that Xie Zhi Yuan guarantee that nothing would go wrong in the future. Xie Zhi Yuan reassured him with a smile, saying that he didn't need to worry and that everything would be fine with him around.

That evening, Su Jian Ren, heavily intoxicated, arrived at Zhou Lin's house and angrily questioned her about why she had brought him to this point. Zhou Lin claimed not to know anything and quickly calmed Su Jian Ren down with a few words. Su Jian Ren firmly believed in Zhou Lin's words and complained about Zhao Hui and the others being too ruthless in their actions.

Since Zhou Lin had decided to move out, Su Jian Ren helped her put the luggage in the car's trunk after he sobered up. Su Jian Ren proposed going abroad with Zhou Lin, where they could have a love life that others could only envy, as long as she was willing. However, Zhou Lin politely refused, envying his privileged and carefree lifestyle that was completely different from others.

Just as the two of them were preparing to leave in the car, they suddenly saw Zhao Hui walking towards them with an umbrella. Zhou Lin wanted to know Zhao Hui's true thoughts, but Zhao Hui was still suppressing his feelings and only bid them farewell. The next morning, Tao Wu Ji arrived at the audit department to report, clearly sensing that he was not welcomed by everyone.
