Episode 33 recap: Bai Xin Ning deliberately lost the design competition.
While Bai Xin Ning was explaining her work to everyone, the judges in the audience nodded in approval. Each team seemed to have earned a point, and it appeared that Bai Xin Ning's team would be the winner in the end. Radiant Jewelry, having secured third place, withdrew from the third round of the competition. Cong Fei, seeing Bai Xin Ning's victory, was even happier than if he had won himself.
The theme of the third round of the competition was "purity," and now Bai Xin Ning had to start preparing for the next round. Li Zhuo Ran, who arrived late, congratulated her insincerely after seeing that Bai Xin Ning had won. Lin Yi, who invested in the Holy Land a month ago, was suddenly informed that the investment had been temporarily canceled. Lin Yi hurriedly went to the Holy Land company to inquire about the situation, coincidentally running into Meng Xiao Xiao, who was with Li Zhuo Ran.
Bai Xin Ning followed behind them, and General Hu had a great admiration for her. Li Zhuo Ran introduced Meng Xiao Xiao's public relations abilities to General Hu, who had high expectations for them. A press conference was scheduled next, and they were instructed to be well-prepared. The colleagues in the studio were anxious, worrying about the possibility of being laid off. After all, the company had not provided any positive information so far. Ye Xiao Qing started to worry about her future.
Soon, General Hu's media company held a signing ceremony with Bai Xin Ning at the studio, stating that they would use the jewelry designed by Bai Xin Ning for their future activities and shoots. When a reporter asked Bai Xin Ning about her view of the studio, her answer showed consideration for Dong Chen. Many companies now wanted to collaborate with Bai Xin Ning's studio, and the number of orders was increasing.
Li Ming Kang approached Bai Xin Ning and informed her that Li Zhuo Ran, upon learning about these circumstances, intended to quietly raise the price. Bai Xin Ning instructed Li Ming Kang to keep these matters confidential and not let their colleagues know. Bai Xin Ning went to find Lin Yi, and she was starting to trust him more and more. Although Lin Yi never explicitly stated it, after these incidents, he would indirectly impart some wisdom to Bai Xin Ning.
Soon, they arrived at the venue for the third round of the competition. First, Lin Yi's team presented their own design while Bai Xin Ning was still preparing backstage. At that moment, Lin Zhe called Bai Xin Ning and informed her that he had cracked the password. He also revealed that Li Zhuo Ran indeed intended to use Bai Xin Ning's studio for money laundering. Lin Zhe then sent all the relevant information to Bai Xin Ning.
Bai Xin Ning was furious upon seeing the information. She realized that Li Zhuo Ran had been using her and was even involved in illegal activities. After calming herself down, Bai Xin Ning showcased her work. Surprisingly, both designs received the same score from the judges. The judges were then asked to make a choice. The first judge selected Lin Yi's team, while the second judge chose Bai Xin Ning's team. Just as Bai Xin Ning and the model were bowing, the model's necklace suddenly fell off, raising doubts about the quality of the necklace among the judges.
As a result, everyone voted for Lin Yi, and Li Zhuo Ran, extremely angry, left directly. Bai Xin Ning had done it intentionally; she didn't want Li Zhuo Ran's scheme to succeed. However, many companies still wanted to terminate their contracts, and General Hu was very angry about the situation. Although Bai Xin Ning was scolded by Li Zhuo Ran, she still emerged victorious, as she hadn't been manipulated by him this time.
Meng Xiao Xiao invited Bai Xin Ning to have coffee, knowing that Bai Xin Ning had intentionally lost the competition. Meng Xiao Xiao said she could keep this secret for Bai Xin Ning but would need her help at a specific time. Bai Xin Ning agreed to cooperate as long as it didn't harm Dong Chen's interests, and they reached an agreement.
Bai Xin Ning and Lin Yi celebrated by going out for a meal. Lin Yi also knew that Bai Xin Ning had deliberately lost the competition. Bai Xin Ning drank quite a bit and spoke candidly. She mentioned Li Zhuo Ran's intention to use her studio for money laundering and said that if that were to happen, she would be willing to go down with him. Inadvertently, Bai Xin Ning exposed the ring necklace on her chest while holding her drink. Lin Yi immediately recognized the ring as Tang Wanrong's. It turned out that Bai Xin Ning was Tang Wanrong's daughter.
