Episode 2 recap: Construction of the retirement center has begun.
Because Sun Qian Cheng's previous actions were unreliable, Xia Ming Zhou was not very interested in the money-making projects proposed by Sun Qian Cheng this time. Chen Xin Cheng called Xiao Chang Qing, who was preoccupied with family matters and had no time to think about the retirement center.
On the other side, Sun Qian Cheng tried to persuade Xia Ming Zhou to invest five million, but when Xia Ming Zhou disagreed, Sun Qian Cheng proposed a divorce. If they divorced, he would be entitled to half of the company's shares. Xia Ming Zhou couldn't do anything about it and had to figure out a way to come up with the money.
Before leaving, Sun Qian Cheng mentioned the incident where his wife publicly fired their daughter, but Xia Ming Zhou didn't think much of it. In her opinion, if an assistant couldn't even handle small tasks well, they wouldn't be able to accomplish anything significant. However, she didn't know the true reason why Sun Xiao Jing was dismissed.
Chen Xin Cheng went to the group to find Yuan Ying Shi, hoping to get him to invest money in the retirement center, but Yuan Ying Shi expressed difficulties. Since that plan didn't work out, Chen Xin Cheng looked for another solution. Yuan Ying Shi called Chen Xin Cheng's driver, Xiao Yue, and instructed him to follow Chen Xin Cheng to the retirement center and observe the chairman's every move.
Xiao Chang Qing's attempts to persuade her mother were in vain, so she had to ask her younger brother, Xiao Jian, for money. Xiao Jian had started his own company and didn't agree to give money from the family to his nephew for buying a house. Xiao Chang Qing tried to persuade him, and Xiao Jian agreed to give two hundred thousand, but he asked for a written IOU from his sister-in-law. Xiao Chang Qing said she would write the IOU herself, and Xiao Jian reluctantly compromised without even needing the IOU.
When Chen Xin Cheng learned that Sun Qian Cheng had actually managed to gather five million, he felt a sense of crisis and hurried to find Xiao Chang Qing. Chen Xin Cheng told Xiao Chang Qing about Sun Qian Cheng's plan and convinced him to join forces in establishing the retirement center, assuring him that it wouldn't interfere with his responsibilities at home.
The three of them put up a sign for the retirement center. Sun Qian Cheng let slip and revealed his intentions, causing both Chen Xin Cheng and Xiao Chang Qing to become aware of his plan. They both disagreed with the idea of using the retirement center as a cover to build and sell houses. Although Sun Qian Cheng had five million in hand, both Chen Xin Cheng and Xiao Chang Qing were appointed by the group as the responsible person and the director of the management committee, so Sun Qian Cheng's five million alone didn't give him much say. In the end, he had to compromise.
Chen Xin Cheng went to check elsewhere, and Sun Qian Cheng began persuading Xiao Chang Qing. Xiao Chang Qing verbally agreed to form a united front with him but also wanted him to provide the money for the renovation. To give Sun Qian Cheng a reality check, Chen Xin Cheng deliberately invited two so-called leaders to inspect the site.
The conversation between the two leaders and what Xiao Chang Qing had previously said were almost the same. The plan was to establish the retirement center first and then obtain the necessary approvals to prevent unscrupulous businessmen from exploiting policy loopholes, using the retirement land approvals to build and sell commercial properties for profit. Sun Qian Cheng had no choice but to agree to build five rooms, three of which would be their dormitories, and the other two would be dormitories for male and female employees.
Xiao Yue informed Yuan Ying Shi about this matter, and Yuan Ying Shi was surprised. Sun Qian Cheng was personally funding the construction of the retirement center, which made Yuan Ying Shi very happy. Chen Xin Cheng was not satisfied with just attending and requested to participate with Yuan Ying Shi, but Yuan Ying Shi refused.
Investor Wang came to inspect the site and check the progress of the construction. However, when he heard from Sun Qian Cheng that the retirement center approval had not yet been obtained, his attitude and tone changed. He was half mocking and half sarcastic, suggesting that Sun Qian Cheng was deceiving them. Sun Qian Cheng, who was tight on funds, felt that the money was not enough. He knew that once Chen Xin Cheng retired, the stock incentive could be cashed out, but the problem now was that Chen Xin Cheng was unwilling to retire.
Sun Qian Cheng whispered a plan to Xiao Chang Qing, who smiled and said it was a cunning plan but agreed to it.
