Episode 43 recap: Dongchen's directors worked together to raise money and overcome difficulties.

The department head called Ye Xiao Qing, and after considering for a while, Ye Xiao Qing decided to answer the call. Ye Xiao Qing agreed to meet with the department head later, and Lucy Li instructed her subordinates to keep an eye on Cong Fei's situation. Cong Fei went to the hospital to visit Lin Zhe and coincidentally ran into Bai Xin Ning. Cong Fei asked Bai Xin Ning if she had time to chat. The department head wanted to win over Ye Xiao Qing and asked her to keep an eye on Bai Xin Ning's situation. Unable to resist the temptation, Ye Xiao Qing agreed.

Cong Fei and Bai Xin Ning had a conversation, and Cong Fei gradually looked down on Lucy Li. He even felt that if she continued like this, her brilliance would inevitably be destroyed by her own hands. Bai Xin Ning sometimes wished that Cong Fei could come back and help Dongchen, but Dongchen couldn't offer Cong Fei a high salary at the moment.

After Cong Fei returned, the department head urged him to submit the manuscript within three days. Cong Fei angrily returned to his own office. Ye Xiao Qing kindly informed Bai Xin Ning that the department head had been meeting with her and asked her to supervise Bai Xin Ning.

This time, Ye Xiao Qing did not betray Bai Xin Ning. Bai Xin Ning told Ye Xiao Qing that now they only needed to cooperate with the department head until the most critical moment. Lucy Li still approached Bai Xin Ning about the acquisition, but Bai Xin Ning naturally refused. Lucy Li called Hu Zong and asked him to assist.

Shortly after, Dongchen received a notification that Shengshi Group also sent an urgent letter, demanding that the profit payment be made within one day. Bai Xin Ning became even more anxious. Lucy Li's current plan was to rub salt in the wound and find someone to help. Bai Xin Ning first went to find the owner of Kimberley Diamonds, hoping to obtain some financial support. The other party was more than willing to pay the final installment in advance, which was a good opportunity for Bai Xin Ning.

However, just as Bai Xin Ning and Li Ming Kang were preparing to return to the company, a large group of reporters suddenly arrived downstairs. Bai Xin Ning felt that since the final payment had arrived, they could continue their operations.

Lin Yi also mentioned the hope of raising funds, and Bai Xin Ning was very grateful to everyone for their assistance. Kimberley Diamonds had already sent the final payment, so Bai Xin Ning quickly instructed her secretary to inform the finance department to transfer the money to the employees. She also planned to use the villa her mother left her as collateral.

At that moment, Lin Yi called, informing her that Lucy Li wanted to meet with her. Bai Xin Ning met with Lucy Li, who actually wanted to discuss the acquisition. Bai Xin Ning made it clear that she would not agree to the acquisition. Lucy Li advised Bai Xin Ning not to let Dongchen meet its doom due to her stubbornness. Bai Xin Ning naturally refused, and then left directly. Lucy Li called the department head again, informing him that her discussion with Bai Xin Ning had failed and that she would now try to convince the other shareholders of Dongchen. Lin Yi handed a forum invitation to Bai Xin Ning, hoping she would attend. It was not only about resolving immediate matters but also about the company's development, which was crucial.

Lucy Li approached the other directors and one of them abstained. Li Zhuo Ran's right-hand man had learned his lesson. Bai Xin Ning also instructed all members of the design department to participate in a competition and urged everyone to prepare in their best condition. Cong Fei was having trouble working under the pressure and even had a falling out with the department head.

Cong Fei complained to Lin Yi that Lucy Li had been exploiting the employees since the investment, and although they were meeting their submission deadlines, there was no depth to their work. Lin Yi also asked Cong Fei to return to Dongchen, and Cong Fei said he would consider it. Bai Xin Ning would visit Lin Zhe when she had free time, and Lin Yi would play his favorite songs for Lin Zhe every day. Lin Yi's only hope now was to wake Lin Zhe up.
