Episode 27 recap: Mayor Su opposes the rectification.
Mr. Ni asked him if he knew about this group and emphasized that it was a lucrative business. The internet celebrity handed a USB drive to the police, indicating that it contained evidence. Cheng Hai Jiang found the contents inside to be shocking. Mayor Su believed that the overall rectification process was too long, causing significant economic and social problems.
Xiao Tian called Mo Wen Er, informing her that he had some videos of hers and demanded 2 million yuan in exchange. Mo Wen Er agreed and suggested meeting in person. However, after Xiao Tian arrived at the designated location, he was surrounded and beaten by several men. In front of them, Xiao Tian had no choice but to delete the videos and escape by jumping into the river, barely saving his life.
Now Mr. Ni and General Ye are discussing cooperation. General Ye intends to transfer the equity to Mr. Ni, while Mr. Ni plans to hand over Dream Dyed to General Ye. Mo Wen Er comes with the videos to confront Mr. Ni, asking him what exactly is going on. Mr. Ni dismisses it as a minor case of illegal discharge and believes that he only needs one month to hold on and endure Mo Wen Er's pressure.
It is only now that Mo Wen Er realizes that Mr. Ni has been using her all along, intending to use Dream Dyed's shares to swallow up Hongsheng Group. Mr. Ni argues that this way, he will become a shareholder of Hongsheng Group, which is not a disadvantage for him. He refuses to acknowledge that he has been exploiting Mo Wen Er.
Mr. Ni asks General Ye if he knows about this group, emphasizing its profitability. General Ye inquires about Mr. Lin's approach, mentioning the favorable policies offered by the city, which Mr. Ni might have missed. Internet celebrity Xiao Tian hands a USB drive to the police, claiming it contains evidence. It is a backup he made earlier, but Xiao Tian is extremely scared and finds those people terrifying.
Mayor Su comes to Cheng Hai Jiang, discussing the rectification of the printing and dyeing industry. Cheng Hai Jiang hands the USB drive to Mayor Su.
Cheng Hai Jiang finds the contents inside to be shocking. Mayor Su believes that the overall rectification process takes too long and creates significant economic and social problems.
Mayor Su agrees with the rectification but believes that a one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate. The industry brings forth numerous economic benefits and employment opportunities, among other issues. Cheng Hai Jiang states that industries involved in illegal discharge cannot resume operations, but he hasn't decided on other aspects yet. He asks for some time to think about the best course of action.
Cheng Hai Jiang goes to meet Song Qi Chang, who is also torn about the situation. With the upcoming summit, it would be impossible to secure the hosting rights if significant issues arise from the industry's rectification. However, not implementing the rectification would have long-term consequences for future generations, making Cheng Hai Jiang feel sorry for the people. He asks Song Qi Chang for advice on what to do.
Song Qi Chang says he can't offer any advice on the matter. He believes Cheng Hai Jiang has always acted in the best interest of the people, as he had previously stated. Dream Dyed has now been handed over to General Ye. Mayor Su calls Mo Wen Er and shows her the previous video.
Mo Wen Er understands that Mayor Su is urging her to surrender herself. Mayor Su doesn't understand why Mo Wen Er insists on collaborating with Mr. Ni. Mo Wen Er explains that when she was an actress, she felt passive and constantly chosen by others. She wants to be an entrepreneur, have her own industry, and take control of her own destiny.
Mayor Su believes that even without collaborating with Mr. Ni, Mo Wen Er has the ability to achieve her goals. Mo Wen Er ultimately listens to Mayor Su's advice and decides to surrender herself. Mayor Su discusses this matter with Cheng Hai Jiang, feeling the need for introspection. Cheng Hai Jiang assures him that Mayor Su has not been biased or unjust, and he is pleased that Mayor Su has stayed on the right path and not fallen behind in the path of development.
