Episode 10 recap: Lin Xi used her secret weapon to win the bid.
Xiao Yi Cheng handed the prepared manuscript to Tong Xin, who expressed great approval upon seeing it. Shen Yao also made sure to thoroughly investigate Xiao Yi Cheng, as he was determined not to lose to the other party. Cheng Yao was increasingly fond of Lin Xi and wanted to win her over. Seeing Lin Xi working late at night, Cheng Yao urged her to go to sleep as soon as possible. Lin Xi snatched the computer from Cheng Yao's hand and went straight back to her room, leaving Cheng Yao feeling helpless.
Upon learning that Lin Xi was upset, Grandma was nearby teaching Cheng Yao how to appease a girl. Being too assertive might have the opposite effect. Early the next morning, Cheng Yao prepared a large breakfast for Lin Xi and solemnly apologized to her, to which Lin Xi simply responded in a perfunctory manner.
Xiao Yi Cheng went to work at the company, and his assistant brought him a cup of coffee. Xiao Yi Cheng remembered the coffee Cheng Yao made for him the previous day and quickly had the assistant take it away, feeling quite unhappy. Xiao Yi Cheng asked the assistant to organize a list of all the companies participating in the bidding, as tomorrow would undoubtedly be a tough battle.
Xiao Yi Cheng found Lin Xi and although she initially didn't want to get in the car, another car appeared behind her, so she reluctantly got in. Xiao Yi Cheng noticed from Lin Xi's social media posts that she still had a strong liking for small animals, just like before.
Lin Xi mentioned that Tong Xin was facing great difficulties raising her child alone, and Xiao Yi Cheng took this opportunity to confess his feelings to Lin Xi. However, Lin Xi didn't say a word and deliberately found an excuse to leave. Suddenly, her shoulder felt sore, and Xiao Yi Cheng quickly massaged it for her.
Later, Xiao Yi Cheng took Lin Xi to do aerial yoga, hoping to help her relax her body. Xiao Yi Cheng also asked Lin Xi to close her eyes and take a rest. He couldn't help but want to touch her cheek, but his hand remained suspended in the air without actually making contact.
Someone has approached the shareholders of Xiao Yi Cheng's company in an attempt to buy them out in order to secure the bid. The two parties have reached an agreement. The next day, Lin Xi also arrived at the bidding site. This time, Lin Xi's company was one of the participating bidders. Mr. Wang, having known the inside information in advance, directly used the lowest bid on-site, which was completely against the rules. However, since it had already been done, Lin Xi and her team could only watch the situation unfold.
Next came Lin Xi's presentation. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi directly quoted a price of one million. All the other companies found the price to be very high, and they were unlikely to be selected. Lin Xi explained the reasons for their high price. Mr. Sun also watched the live broadcast on video. Then came the collective questioning from the board of directors to Lin Xi. Lin Xi provided reasons for their expensive bid. These words clearly touched someone's interests, so someone from the board intentionally stood up to oppose Lin Xi. Mr. Wang even resorted to sweet-talking, hoping to use more funds to gain benefits.
Lin Xi, of course, did not give up. She proceeded to play videos of professionals from various industries collaborating with their company, which could undoubtedly elevate their standards. Upon seeing Lin Xi's actions, Mr. Wang continued to make sarcastic remarks nearby. However, Lin Xi already knew their bottom line and quickly rendered them speechless.
Next was the voting process between Xiao Yi Cheng and the board of directors. The companies bribed by Mr. Wang still appeared determined. When it came time to announce the votes, Lin Xi was still somewhat nervous. Mr. Wang stood by, seemingly confident of his victory. However, it turned out that Lin Xi's company won the bid in the end.
Mr. Wang was very dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to accept it. Xiao Yi Cheng's eyes never left Lin Xi throughout the process. Xiao Yi Cheng even suggested holding a celebration banquet, which was essentially a way to have dinner alone with Lin Xi. At the celebration banquet, Xiao Yi Cheng and Cheng Yao began to exchange barbs. Both of them tried to serve Lin Xi food, and she had to make an excuse to leave early.
