Episode 1 recap: Wei Jian Hao went to Manchester to meet his girlfriend.
Wei Jian Hao's grandfather, Wei Changming, is a renowned figure in the jade industry, possessing exceptional skills in carving jade sculptures. After successfully reforming the jade market in Southeast Asia, he decided to retire from the business and passed on his legacy to his grandson, Wei Jian Hao. Before Wei Jian Hao departed for Manchester, his grandfather specifically instructed him not to reveal his identity. Therefore, Wei Jian Hao dressed modestly and brought local specialties with him to Manchester. He was filled with joy at the thought of reuniting with his girlfriend, Xili.
Upon arriving in Manchester, Wei Jian Hao encountered a beautiful young lady who intended to purchase a piece of worthless stone at a high price. Concerned, he advised her against it. The young lady turned out to be Song Huai Xi, the second daughter of the Song family. To verify Wei Jian Hao's claims, Song Huai Xi decided to cut open the stone. However, before the stone could be opened, Wei Jian Hao received a call from Xili and had to leave.
After the stone was cut open, Song Huai Xi discovered that Wei Jian Hao's description was accurate, even down to the size of the jade within. Since Song Huai Xi needed to compete with her sister, Song Yuan'er, in selecting jade, she believed that with the assistance of a skilled expert like Wei Jian Hao, she could surely win.
Xili's mother was a materialistic person and looked down upon the humble Wei Jian Hao. She hoped her daughter would marry someone from a similar social background like Feng Shi Hao. She made great efforts to matchmake her daughter with Feng Shi Hao. However, Xili's heart belonged only to Wei Jian Hao. Several of them arrived at the jade exhibition hall, where they encountered Song Huai Xi.
As the Song family held considerable influence in Manchester, Xili's mother sought to establish a connection with Song Huai Xi. However, Song Huai Xi was solely interested in Wei Jian Hao. Song Huai Xi asked Wei Jian Hao to help her select another piece of jade, but he refused. Xili's mother mistakenly thought they were arguing and hurriedly took Xili upstairs to avoid any trouble for her family.
