Episode 22 recap: The director of the procurement department wants to sell his shares.
When Ye Xiao Qing heard about the director of the procurement department's intention to resign, her colleagues were surprised. Bai Xin Ning also learned about the director's plan to sell his shares and pondered over it. In fact, the director of the procurement department no longer had any interest in making money and did not want to stand on Li Zhuo Ran's side. That's why he directly proposed selling his shares during the board meeting.
The directors from Li Zhuo Ran's side approached him to buy the shares, and he immediately asked for one billion yuan. Naturally, the other party refused, and the director of the procurement department even said he could name the price, indicating they could take it or leave it. Lin Yi saw the director of the procurement department playing with children suffering from cancer in the hospital. He knew Lin Yi was coming to see him, so he decided to sell the shares for 50 million yuan. After all, Li Zhuo Ran had already caused him enough suffering and even made him take responsibility. Lin Yi agreed, and then he called his secretary to inquire about selling his property as soon as possible.
Just as the director of the procurement department was about to go home, Bai Xin Ning was waiting at the door. Bai Xin Ning knew that he wanted to establish a foundation for the children with cancer, so she wanted to have a good conversation with him. Bai Xin Ning offered to help him establish the foundation quickly but made it clear that her only requirement was for him to retain the shares for at least three years. She didn't want the entire Dongchen Group to be destabilized again because of the shares.
He asked Bai Xin Ning what benefits she would gain from this, and Bai Xin Ning simply said it was one of her quirks without revealing the real reason. Bai Xin Ning also learned from the director of the procurement department that Tao Le Qi was introduced by Li Zhuo Ran, and everything suddenly became clear to her. The next day, Bai Xin Ning made an appointment with Lin Zhe to meet on the weekend. Bai Xin Ning asked Lin Zhe to accompany her to visit the children.
Bai Xin Ning went to the hospital and painted with the children. The director of the procurement department happened to come by as well. In fact, Bai Xin Ning had already thought of a way to raise money, which was to turn the drawings made by the children into cartoon patterns and make jewelry out of them using artificial diamonds to sell. This idea was highly appreciated by the director of the procurement department. After returning home, Bai Xin Ning told Li Ming Kang and Ye Xiao Qing about this plan and asked them to make modifications to the children's artwork while preserving their innocence.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao Qing was eating and working on the artwork. Meng Xiao Xiao learned about this and informed Lin Yi. At first, Meng Xiao Xiao thought that Li Zhuo Ran was manipulating Bai Xin Ning from behind, but Lin Yi denied it. However, Meng Xiao Xiao still advised Lin Yi to be cautious.
Bai Xin Ning asked Lin Zhe to help them with the website development, and her idea was approved by the dean, who also expressed their full cooperation. Bai Xin Ning even suggested having the dean become one of the initiators of the foundation, and the dean was willing to cooperate. Bai Xin Ning informed Li Zhuo Ran about this, and after weighing the pros and cons, Li Zhuo Ran agreed to cooperate. Bai Xin Ning asked him to recommend some vendors for her, and Li Zhuo Ran agreed.
After reviewing the products, Bai Xin Ning expressed that none of them were suitable. She deliberately said that she wanted to meet with the vendors, but Li Zhuo Ran suggested that she just provide him with the required dimensions. This time, Bai Xin Ning's fundraising project was very successful. She invited Lin Zhe, Ye Xiao Qing, and Li Ming Kang to have a meal at her home. Although their abilities were limited, they were able to contribute in their own way. This time, they were grateful for the help of their three friends.
After Bai Xin Ning went to work, the director of the procurement department came to find her. Although they raised some funds, it was still far from enough. Therefore, in order to save the children, they had to sell the shares. The director of the procurement department sold his shares to Lin Yi, and the first agenda item discussed at the shareholders' meeting was about the position of the director of the procurement department. The person chosen by Li Zhuo Ran didn't even receive half of the votes, while the person chosen by Lin Yi was approved by everyone.
Now, most people are on Lin Yi's side, and Li Zhuo Ran suddenly felt a sense of crisis. The final proposal was to bring up the issue of re-electing the chairman at the board meeting. However, as soon as Li Zhuo Ran mentioned the agenda, his right-hand and left-hand immediately expressed their opposition.
The female lead has no money, doesn't know many people, and lacks social status, yet she manages to establish a foundation just based on a few acts of kindness? It's a decent TV drama, but the actors' efforts to promote the female lead feel too forced and make it seem unrealistic, which can be off-putting.
