Episode 14 recap: Song Shi Jie cleverly deceived Wang Hao Xin.
Ling Long and Song Shi Jie both mocked Tang Zhengtang for being too foolish. After going through countless hardships, they finally obtained the real official seal. Song Shi Jie felt that now they could confidently use this official seal to do business with Wang Hao Xin.Ling Long had a question: who would better suit the role of Tang Zhengtang? Who would play the role? Song Shi Jie thought that Song A Jiu would be the most suitable. Amidst everyone's anticipation, Song A Jiu appeared. Song A Jiu tried hard to speak in a more feminine manner as Song Shi Jie instructed, but it was difficult for him to do so.
Song Shi Jie became a little fearful. They were so close to success. Would they fail at this step because of Song A Jiu? Song Shi Jie arranged a meeting with the real Wang Hao Xin and informed him about the impersonation, claiming that Tang Zhengtang had revealed the secret.
In the room, Song A Jiu couldn't remember a single line of the script he had practiced, while Xiao Feng beside him had memorized it all and couldn't help but want to beat up A Jiu. Helplessly, Xiao Feng guided Song A Jiu to successfully deliver the lines, treating Wang Hao Xin as himself. A Jiu was truly excited.
Xiao Feng took the opportunity to teach Song A Jiu some moves. Song A Jiu kept staring at Xiao Feng, and the two felt a bit awkward. Song Shi Jie led the fake Wang Hao Xin to meet Song A Jiu. Wang Hao Xin believed that Tang Zhengtang's secretive visit this time must indicate greed.
Song Shi Jie hastily claimed that Tang Zhengtang was modest and had no great ambitions. A Jiu smoothly recited the lines he was supposed to memorize, surprising Song Shi Jie. A Jiu didn't expect it to be so easy for him to succeed, and he even managed to somewhat intimidate the two businessmen. The effect was excellent.
Xiao Feng thought A Jiu was going to kiss him, but he realized his misunderstanding and felt a bit awkward. Song Shi Jie felt that there was something strange between the two of them. Tang Zhengtang learned the truth when the servant reported it to him, realizing that Song Shi Jie had deceived him.
Song Shi Jie told Song A Jiu that the next step was crucial, and he should stay vigilant for the upcoming scene. When Tang Zhengtang arrived, he overheard them saying that Song Shi Jie had already arrived at the scene for the transaction. Tang Zhengtang knew that the situation had been exposed, so he hurriedly rushed to the scene, hoping to stop everything.
Ling Long had just arrived and hurriedly went to the restroom. When she returned, she realized that half of her beard had fallen off and was discovered. Just as both parties were about to reach a deal, they suddenly heard a noise outside. As they were about to go out to investigate, they found Ling Long entering. Wang Hao Xin personally escorted these people out and then saw Tang Zhengtang arriving. He initially thought it was a counterfeit, but then realized they had mistaken the genuine article for an imitation.
Song Shi Jie exchanged 100,000 taels of gold for silver notes and distributed them among his colleagues. Li Xue secretly made an identical official seal to Tang Zhengtang's, making the plan flawless and undetected. The real Tang Zhengtang couldn't help but laugh. Wang Hao Xin suffered a loss and, upon checking the promissory note, suddenly discovered it had disappeared. This time, he had truly incurred a significant loss.
Tang Zhengtang left happily. Song Shi Jie returned the dignity to those who were deceived, advising them to handle future matters wisely and not be fooled by dishonest people anymore. Everyone felt that Song Shi Jie truly deserved the title of "King of Makeup." Song Shi Jie and his wife arrived in the capital city, captivated by its prosperity, while Xiao Feng and Song A Jiu secretly harbored feelings for each other.
Song Shi Jie believed that since they were newcomers, they should mind their own business and not pay attention to the father seeking justice for his daughter on the roadside. Ling Long found it strange as she looked at the sumptuous dinner. They were eating and living well, and the mysterious person who hired them seemed like a government official.
Song Shi Jie thought they would find out tomorrow. He met Tang Xiaoyang and heard that he was supposed to handle the British envoy's case and help the envoy clear his name. Song Shi Jie found the matter a bit complicated and decided to meet the parties involved before making a decision. Song Shi Jie witnessed Nian Shan Shan being taken advantage of and wanting to report it to the officials. It was clear that the other party didn't take Song Shi Jie seriously.
Song A Jiu bought a small hairpin and went to find Xiao Feng, feeling excited but unable to express it. Xiao Feng was initially happy to see A Jiu coming to find him but was surprised when A Jiu couldn't speak. Xiao Feng became a bit angry. Just as A Jiu mustered the courage to give the hairpin, he turned his head and realized it wasn't the person he had hoped to see.
