Episode 19 recap: Bai Xinning encounters a crisis at work.
When Meng Xiaoxiao and Bai Xinning were discussing, Bai Xinning mentioned that she had already assigned Ye Xiaoqing to handle the coordination. Bai Xinning was confident, but Ye Xiaoqing seemed to be deep in thought. That night, Arianne received a message from Ye Xiaoqing, revealing that Ye Xiaoqing had handed over Bai Xinning's sales plan to Arianne, who then sold the information to Shining Jewelry.
The next day, when Meng Xiaoxiao happily informed Bai Xinning that all the Begonia jewelry had been sold out, they were shocked to learn that Li Mingkang hurriedly returned and informed everyone that Shining Jewelry had launched a similar plan. Bai Xinning quickly shared the plan with everyone. However, Li Zhuoran still intended to cancel the event. Bai Xinning tried to convince Li Zhuoran to give them a chance since it was also crucial for her.
In the end, Li Zhuoran agreed to give them some time to make a final effort. However, Li Zhuoran found it strange because their plan was semi-confidential, and he suspected that someone from Bai Xinning's team had leaked the information. Li Zhuoran had already abandoned Bai Xinning since she was in a state of failure.
Arianne presented her new plan to the board of directors, and Lin Yi agreed, as it was currently the way to minimize risks. Just as the board was preparing to vote, Bai Xinning suddenly burst in, pleading with the directors to give her three more days. If she couldn't find a solution within three days, she welcomed everyone to hold her accountable.
Both Lin Yi and Li Zhuoran agreed, granting Bai Xinning some additional time. Bai Xinning then informed Li Zhuoran that she planned to buy back the diamond from Lucy Li. Li Zhuoran warned Bai Xinning that success was the only option for this matter.
To meet Lucy Li, Bai Xinning began leaving messages on their official website. Soon, Lucy Li noticed this. Lin Yi also saw the article and immediately guessed that it was Bai Xinning's doing. Knowing that Lucy Li had a habit of visiting stores, Bai Xinning deliberately went to the store to see the jewelry and spoke some highly professional terms, catching Lucy Li's attention, who then approached her proactively.
Bai Xinning revealed her identity, and they began discussing the matter openly. Bai Xinning wanted to buy back the diamond, and Lucy Li's only requirement was for Lin Yi to personally come and meet her. Bai Xinning felt that this was an impossible task to accomplish.
Lucy Li also knew about Bai Xinning's ultimatum, and she invited Bai Xinning to work at her company. Bai Xinning immediately refused because no one knew the significance of Dongchen to Bai Xinning.
In fact, Lin Yi had been watching them from a distance. She intentionally gave Bai Xinning three days to let the naive Bai Xinning suffer a bit. Currently, Arianne didn't have enough manpower, so she transferred the staff from Bai Xinning to her own team. When Bai Xinning arrived at the company, Arianne informed everyone that Bai Xinning's subordinates would now be working under her. Bai Xinning thought Li Mingkang and Ye Xiaoqing would stick by her side, but Ye Xiaoqing chose Arianne instead.
Even Li Mingkang suspected that Ye Xiaoqing might have betrayed them, but Bai Xinning had great trust in Ye Xiaoqing. She believed that Ye Xiaoqing wouldn't do such a thing now that their cooperation with Lucy Li had fallen through. Now, Bai Xinning and Li Mingkang could only look for suppliers and hope to find more diamonds.
Bai Xinning and Li Mingkang worked overtime until late at night, and their phones were constantly busy. However, many suppliers couldn't provide the diamonds they needed, and some even hung up before they could finish speaking. With only one day left, Bai Xinning asked Li Mingkang to go back and rest, but in the restroom, she ran into Ye Xiaoqing who quickly left upon seeing Bai Xinning.
Now, with only one day remaining, Bai Xinning felt that she was completely finished. She went drinking with Lin Zhe, and this time it truly dealt a heavy blow to Bai Xinning. She had initially thought that things would go smoothly upon her return, but now it seemed like all her efforts were in vain. Bai Xinning suddenly remembered Lucy Li's words about Lin Yi needing to come to her, and she saw a glimmer of hope.
In reality, Lin Yi had been carefully preserving Bai Xinning's work, even almost destroying her drawings, but eventually kept them in a box. Lin Yi was about to leave work but remembered unfinished business, so she turned back. It was at this moment that Bai Xinning barged into Lin Yi's office, pleading with her while under the influence of alcohol to go and find Lucy Li. She even said that if they succeeded, she would disappear from Lin Yi's sight.
Lin Yi still escorted Bai Xinning home. The third day quickly arrived, and Bai Xinning went through all the possible solutions in her mind. Although Lin Yi didn't reject her yesterday, Bai Xinning knew that the chances were slim, so she prepared to think of other ways. Meanwhile, Arianne was preparing for the celebration the next day. In fact, Lin Yi did go to find Lucy Li and asked her to sell the diamonds to her at 30% below market price, while offering the condition of granting Cuihan and Dongchen the same Dellpus watch.
After all, the impression of Lucy Li wasn't favorable, so getting her to agree naturally wouldn't be an easy task.
