Episode 16 recap: Li Nai successfully snatched the knife.
Reporters surrounded Jiang Jie and asked him if the fight was related to the incident of the falsified "Eating Dusk" competition and what his relationship was with Li Nai, the chef of "Eating Dusk." Jiang Jie looked at Li Nai not far away, mustered up his courage, and told the reporters that "Eating Dusk" did not cheat, and this time he lost fair and square.
Although Li Nai couldn't hear what he was saying, looking at the wound on his head, she felt uneasy. Cui Jing remembered the conditions proposed by Jiang Xu Yang. Her current company was facing financial difficulties and indeed needed cooperation with the Jiang family. After a struggle, Cui Jing ultimately cast her vote for Li Nai.
Li Nai didn't expect that she would actually win. Although Jiang Jie's expression was somewhat unpleasant, causing him to feel a bit uneasy, he was still extremely excited and wanted to inform his master of the news as soon as possible. However, when she arrived at the hospital, Cui Can told her that the master had passed away. Before his passing, the master had given them all his savings, considering it an investment.
With the master's departure, Li Nai's guilt towards Jiang Jie was swept away, and she decided to study culinary arts diligently to fulfill the master's unfinished wish. Zheng Fang Xing didn't expect that Jiang Jie would lose to Li Nai. He was very familiar with Li Nai's culinary skills. Even if she studied for another three or five years, she wouldn't be able to surpass Jiang Jie.
After Jiang Jie returned, Zheng Fang Xing shared his thoughts with him. Since Cui Jing was Cui Can's sister, he suspected that Cui Jing had cheated on purpose. He decided to utilize the power of public opinion to have Jiang Jie compete with "Eating Dusk" once again. Although Jiang Jie didn't believe that Cui Jing would cheat, he complied with Zheng Fang Xing's arrangement, considering his ultimate goal.
After the public opinion about Cui Jing cheating came out, she initially suspected that Jiang Xu Yang had set her up. She called him to question his intentions, but Jiang Xu Yang repeatedly assured her that he had nothing to do with this matter. After hanging up the phone, Manager Zhu couldn't help but criticize Cui Jing's terrible attitude. However, Jiang Xu Yang smiled and told her that it meant Cui Jing was still willing to cooperate with them.
Upon learning that the male protagonist was defeated, Old Master Jiang couldn't help but curse him as useless. He accepted Jiang Xu Yang's suggestion and reinstated Jiang Yuanfeng. Seeing the online public opinion, Cui Can wanted to ask her sister if she was biased towards Li Nai. At first, Cui Jing refused to admit it, but when Cui Can pressured her, she reluctantly admitted that she was somewhat partial due to the interests of the Cui family. She also shared the current situation of the company with Cui Can.
After leaving his sister, Cui Can, arrived at Eating Dusk. As soon as he got there, he was surrounded by a group of reporters asking if he was really Cui Jing's brother and if Cui Jing had cheated. Cui Can didn't know how to answer, and just then, Jiang Xiu rode in on a motorcycle and handed him a helmet. Cui Can got on the motorcycle and managed to escape from the reporters.
After the motorcycle stopped, Cui Can took off the helmet, and Jiang Xiu asked him the same question. However, Cui Can didn't tell him the truth. Worried about his brother, Jiang Xiu went to see him after leaving Cui Can and revealed a secret that she had been keeping in her heart. Back then, Master Xue wanted to take her in, but she begged him not to.
Jiang Jie didn't expect that he had misunderstood Master Xue. After Jiang Xiu went back, he couldn't help but go to Eating Dusk. When he saw someone holding a beer bottle about to smash it on Li Nai, he hurriedly protected her, but ended up getting injured on his head. Li Nai took Jiang Jie to the hospital, and from Zheng Fang Xing, who arrived shortly after, Li Nai learned about Jiang Jie's intention to snatch the knife from the Jiang family.
When Jiang Yuanfeng failed in his challenge against the Ge family, Old Master Jiang made Jiang Jie's father take the blame. To prevent Jiang Yuanshan from returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Yuanfeng even had his hand crippled. After Jiang Jie had his head bandaged and left the hospital, he was surrounded by reporters asking about his relationship with Li Nai and whether her victory in the knife snatching was fraudulent.
Looking at Li Nai not far away, Jiang Jie made up his mind and told the reporters that Eating Dusk didn't cheat and that he accepted his defeat gracefully. After leaving the reporters, Jiang Jie coldly told Li Nai that he had misunderstood Master Xue back then, and now they were even. When Li Nai returned home and saw that the fish Jiang Jie had given her had died, she couldn't help but lean on her father's shoulder and cry, saying that Jiang Jie had left.
To comfort his daughter, Li Jidong bought another fish, and it suddenly dawned on Li Nai that she had to chase Jiang Jie back. So she went to Jiang Jie's house, but despite ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one answered, and the door code had been changed.
