Episode 30 recap: Lin Zhe became the Deputy Director of the Finance Department.
Ye Xiao Qing called Lin Zhe to the rooftop to ask him if he was in a relationship with Bai Xin Ning. Lin Zhe stated that he was not dating her, but their relationship was still very good. Ye Xiao Qing expressed her love for Lin Zhe, but he politely rejected her because he still had feelings for Bai Xin Ning.
In the end, Li Zhuo Ran redrafted the contract, and Song Cheng signed it. He then informed Lin Yi about this development. Lin Yi happened to be meeting with Meng Xiao Xiao and shared the news with her. In fact, Lin Yi had previously approached Song Cheng out of curiosity when he saw the lapis lazuli diamond. Lin Yi was intrigued because only a few people knew how to operate it, and Song Cheng was not among them.
Song Cheng confessed that he did it to protect Dong Chen and had already transferred the authorization for the lapis lazuli diamond to Li Zhuo Ran. To prevent a repeat of the past, Lin Yi pleaded with Song Cheng to grant her brand a similar authorization. Song Cheng couldn't understand why Lin Yi wanted another authorization when it had already been given to Dong Chen, which indirectly included Lin Yi. However, Lin Yi stated that as long as Li Zhuo Ran was involved, she didn't want the diamonds to remain in her possession.
Later, Lin Yi expressed her desire to acquire Song Cheng's shares, but Song Cheng refused. Lin Yi learned about Li Zhuo Ran and Meng Xiao Xiao's press conference and urged Song Cheng to ensure its success. However, their conversation was secretly recorded by Li Zhuo Ran's secretary.
In the evening, Song Cheng called Bai Xin Ning and informed her about Lin Yi's visit and her request for the diamond authorization. Song Cheng also thought that Lin Yi was a good person, at least better than Li Zhuo Ran. Although Bai Xin Ning hadn't revealed her true identity yet, Song Cheng had developed some feelings for her.
He kindly reminded Bai Xin Ning that the waters in Dong Chen were treacherous and advised her to be cautious and watch out for malicious people. Lin Yi, of course, didn't believe that Song Cheng had created the lapis lazuli diamond, so he instructed his secretary to investigate Song Cheng's call records. The records showed a frequently dialed phone number, leading Lin Yi to suspect that the person behind that number might be Tang Wan Rong's daughter.
The press conference took place as scheduled, with the purpose of announcing the collaboration between Song Cheng and Dong Chen. Coincidentally, a reporter asked Lin Yi about the next series of products featuring the lapis lazuli diamond. This caught Li Zhuo Ran off guard. Lin Yi approached and stated that she had done it according to Tang Wan Rong's wishes, thanking Li Zhuo Ran in front of everyone. Li Zhuo Ran could only pretend to congratulate her.
After returning to his office, Li Zhuo Ran became even angrier and reprimanded his secretary. The Finance Department Director had already been suspended, so if they wanted to continue operations, they could only rely on Lin Zhe. The secretary called Lin Zhe into the office, and Li Zhuo Ran first played the emotional card before getting straight to the point. He told Lin Zhe to handle the accounts well, as he might be the next Finance Director. Before leaving, Li Zhuo Ran also advised Lin Zhe not to unnecessarily be on guard against Meng Xiao Xiao.
Bai Xin Ning saw her goal getting closer and remembered the times when she was with her mother, who was often too busy with work to spend time with her. Just then, Lin Zhe approached and mentioned that Li Zhuo Ran had said many inexplicable things to him today, even asking him to monitor Meng Xiao Xiao.
Lin Zhe actually came today to inform Bai Xin Ning so that she could be prepared for the upcoming work. Li Ming Kang was gossiping again in the company about Song Cheng selling 2% of his shares. Ye Xiao Qing heard this and quickly reported it to Meng Xiao Xiao, who planned to investigate.
Meng Xiao Xiao went to find Song Cheng and expressed her intention to acquire his shares. Song Cheng stated that he would not sell, and Meng Xiao Xiao even allowed him to make any offer he wanted, but Song Cheng still refused.
As Meng Xiao Xiao was leaving, she happened to see the design drawings on the table, which clearly reflected Bai Xin Ning's style. Meng Xiao Xiao quickly informed Lin Yi about this situation. Meng Xiao Xiao even wanted Bai Xin Ning to leave Dong Chen, but Lin Yi advised her not to act rashly. However, Meng Xiao Xiao's woman's intuition told her that Lin Yi cared too much about Bai Xin Ning.
The next day, Li Zhuo Ran and his secretary publicly announced that Lin Zhe was now the Deputy Director of the Finance Department. Bai Xin Ning was worried that Li Zhuo Ran would exploit Lin Zhe, especially since he hadn't informed her about such a major development. Lin Zhe quickly apologized to Bai Xin Ning.
Li Zhuo Ran, still concerned, asked Meng Xiao Xiao if she had met with Song Cheng privately. Meng Xiao Xiao naturally denied it, and Li Zhuo Ran didn't expose her on the spot.
