Episode 26 recap: Bai Xininggao is clever and deals with Tao Le Qi.
Ye Xiaoqing handed over the well-designed drawings to Bai Xining, and then gossiped about Bai Xining and Tao Le Qi having dinner together just yesterday. Seeing Bai Xining's calm demeanor, Ye Xiaoqing thought that Bai Xining had become even more composed and calm. Ye Xiaoqing also proactively said that if Bai Xining encounters any strange dinner events in the future, she can call her, and she will help Bai Xining handle the alcohol.
Hu Zong came to Dongchen for a visit, and Li Zhuoran personally received him. Li Zhuoran took Hu Zong to visit the procurement department first and then went to the design department because design is the lifeblood of the entire company. Zhang, the director, quickly informed Lin Yi of this news. It seems that Li Zhuoran is well-prepared this time.
Bai Xining came to the company to find Tao Le Qi, but the front desk informed her that there was no such person. Bai Xining showed Tao Le Qi's business card that he had given her, and only after verification did the front desk lead Bai Xining in. From the receptionist, Bai Xining learned that if someone comes with an unverified business card, she is not allowed to disclose any information about the company's boss named Tao Le Qi.
When Bai Xining entered the office, Tao Le Qi happened to be in the restroom. The important USB drive was plugged into the computer, so Bai Xining quickly photographed its model and wiped off the fingerprints. Just at that moment, Tao Le Qi returned, and Bai Xining naturally pretended to be very enthusiastic and discussed work matters with him, hoping that Tao Le Qi could give Dongchen the inspection rights. Tao Le Qi took the opportunity to make advances towards Bai Xining, but she was not easily fooled and didn't let him succeed.
Although the Chief Financial Officer had already started using a backup laptop for work, Lin Zhe managed to find the information on his computer and informed Lin Yi. Lin Yi then discovered that Li Zhuoran had a lot of cooperation with Di Mei Mining Co., Ltd. Lin Yi instructed his younger brother to continue investigating but warned him not to let anyone else discover this matter.
Meng Xiaoxiao also came to find Tao Le Qi, and he became very enthusiastic as soon as he saw a beautiful woman, to the extent that he forgot to pour a full cup of tea.
Tao Le Qi also praised Meng Xiaoxiao's beauty and Meng Xiaoxiao mentioned that she came this time to discuss cooperation with Tao Le Qi. Her goal was to prevent Tao Le Qi from handing over the inspection rights entirely to Bai Xining. Naturally, Tao Le Qi wanted to gain some benefits. Meng Xiaoxiao said she owed him a favor and would repay him at the appropriate time. Tao Le Qi was naturally very willing, after all, Meng Xiaoxiao was a beautiful woman.
Meng Xiaoxiao quickly informed Lin Yi about this matter. Lin Yi felt that he was the one who made these decisions, but Meng Xiaoxiao told him not to interfere. She didn't want Bai Xining and Li Zhuoran to join forces. In the end, Lin Yi failed step by step.
Bai Xining showed the photo of the USB drive to Lin Zhe. Lin Zhe said that the USB drive contained encrypted files, and if the password was entered incorrectly, the files would be destroyed. Lin Zhe learned that the USB drive belonged to Tao Le Qi and kindly reminded Bai Xining to stay away from him. Based on the current investigation, Tao Le Qi was definitely not simple, and perhaps even more terrifying than they had imagined.
While Bai Xining was at work, she suddenly received a call from Tao Le Qi asking her to meet. Surprisingly, Tao Le Qi was not in the office but at home. Bai Xining knew it was a trap, and Tao Le Qi wanted to get her drunk. Before entering, Bai Xining took some alcohol resistance medicine, but as soon as she entered, Tao Le Qi locked the door.
There were many drinks on the table, indicating that the purpose of today's meeting was to drink. Tao Le Qi told Bai Xining that he couldn't give them the inspection rights this year. Although Bai Xining said it was okay, she was very angry inside. Bai Xining kept pouring Tao Le Qi drinks, and he started feeling drowsy.
Eventually, Tao Le Qi fell asleep directly on the chair, and Bai Xining finally breathed a sigh of relief. She went to the bedroom to check and indeed found the USB drive in his bag. Bai Xining intentionally switched the USB drive with her own prepared one and took it away. Bai Xining was very clever and deliberately told Tao Le Qi that she saw him playing with the USB drive he had last time, but now it had fallen into the red wine. Tao Le Qi knew he was in big trouble.
