Episode 44 recap: Lin Zhe finally regained consciousness.
Lucy Li went to find Meng Xiao Xiao again, hoping to take away her shares from Meng Xiao Xiao. Lucy Li offered a substantial amount of money, thinking it would tempt Meng Xiao Xiao. However, Meng Xiao Xiao intentionally asked for time to consider and inquired about who would become the CEO after Dongchen's acquisition. Lucy Li said she would consider it, but Meng Xiao Xiao was merely buying time.
After returning, Meng Xiao Xiao told Bai Xin Ning about the situation. As it turned out, Lucy Li had spoken to all the shareholders, but none of them were willing to join her team. This was good news for Bai Xin Ning. Lucy Li called Cong Fei and emphasized that it was a critical moment for acquiring Dongchen, urging him not to mess things up.
Cong Fei then called Bai Xin Ning and arranged a meeting. Cong Fei had made up his mind to return to Dongchen, and Bai Xin Ning welcomed him warmly. Bai Xin Ning told Cong Fei that although she really wanted him to come back, it wasn't the right time yet. She promised that the delay wouldn't be too long, and Cong Fei agreed.
Two investors approached Lucy Li, but there hadn't been any progress regarding the acquisition. Lucy Li planned to seek cooperation with Shengshi Group through General Hu. General Hu quickly called Dongchen, stating that they needed to redo the financial statements, or they would withdraw their investment, putting pressure on Dongchen. Bai Xin Ning informed Lin Yi about the situation, and Lin Yi instructed the finance department to calculate the deficit. If necessary, Lin Yi would personally cover the shortfall.
Surprisingly, General Qian agreed to the acquisition and even brought a lawyer. Although General Qian's shareholding wasn't significant enough to have a say, he persisted. Bai Xin Ning collapsed due to exhaustion. Worried about the company, when she was preparing to return to the office, she received the news that Lin Zhe had awakened. Lin Yi and Bai Xin Ning hurriedly went to visit him, which was a joyful event for them.
Lucy Li thought her plan had succeeded, but to her surprise, not only did Bai Xin Ning return to work, but Dongchen also informed Shengshi Group that if they withdrew their investment, all the funds would be returned. Shortly after waking up, Lin Zhe started calculating the company's financial issues and stated that even if they returned the money to Shengshi Group, with Dongchen's fixed assets, there shouldn't be a problem.
Lucy Li realized that the situation had become troublesome after learning that Lin Zhe had awakened. After all, Lin Zhe was the CFO and had a thorough understanding of Dongchen's assets. Soon, other shareholders called Lucy Li, pressuring her regarding the investment. If they couldn't complete it, they threatened to withdraw their investments from Chuan Can Group.
Bai Xin Ning was in the design department, looking at everyone's design drafts when Ye Xiao Qing received a call from the department supervisor, asking to meet. Ye Xiao Qing also informed Bai Xin Ning about her plan to attend the forum, and Lucy Li asked Ye Xiao Qing to help her.
Lucy Li quickly brought in a journalist and spread the news that the acquisition of Dongchen was about to be completed. This completely disrupted Dongchen, but Lucy Li was even more pleased. Lucy Li also told the department supervisor that she would let her have the position of the general manager when the time came, but the department supervisor naturally refused. Meng Xiao Xiao had guessed this, so she planned to wait a little longer. The escalating conflict between the two was their best opportunity.
Bai Xin Ning's secretary also submitted her resignation, and Bai Xin Ning accepted it. Lucy Li called Bai Xin Ning, but Bai Xin Ning directly arranged a meeting with Lucy Li. Lucy Li thought that the acquisition was surely going smoothly. The next day, she went to Dongchen, feeling very good. Reporters were waiting in the office, and Lin Yi announced that the press conference was officially starting. Bai Xin Ning clearly stated that all the rumors about the acquisition were spread by Chuan Can Group, and there was plenty of evidence in the form of emails from Lucy Li.
Lucy Li naturally refused to admit defeat and even tried to counterattack. Bai Xin Ning called Ye Xiao Qing in and Ye Xiao Qing publicly stated that it was the department supervisor who instructed her to spread the news, and she had recorded evidence. This made Lucy Li and the department supervisor quite flustered.
