Episode 26 recap: Lin Yi Yang encountered resistance in his reforms.
Lin Yi Yang called Yin Guo and Yin Guo knew that Lin Yi Yang was not in a good mood. Lin Yi Yang might have wanted to confide in someone or seek some psychological comfort. Yin Guo was very considerate and kept looking for topics to make Lin Yi Yang feel better. He occasionally comforted Lin Yi Yang with words. In order to help Lin Yi Yang, everyone called Lin Lin and specifically spoke on behalf of Lin Yi Yang during the meeting. After the meeting, Lin Yi Yang gathered all his fellow disciples together and announced his reform plan. However, although these reform plans seemed to have long-term development prospects, each one required a large amount of money, especially the organization of events, which involved significant risks. Sometimes sponsors withdraw their funding, so they needed to have their own reserve funds for such situations.
After discussing the reform matters with everyone, Yin Guo sent a message to invite Lin Yi Yang to have dinner at home. Yin Guo was worried that Lin Yi Yang would suspect it was a forced marriage situation, so he explained it to Lin Yi Yang in another message. Lin Yi Yang agreed without hesitation, but he couldn't go to Yin Guo's house for dinner on Thursday because he had to attend the World Championships. Yin Guo initially wanted to invite Lin Yi Yang to have dinner at home during these days, but considering Lin Yi Yang's current unhappy mood and busyness, Yin Guo felt sorry for him and abandoned the idea, deciding to invite him after the competition. At that moment, Lin Yi Yang called Yin Guo.
Yin Guo knew that Lin Yi Yang might not be in a good mood, so in order to alleviate his feelings, Yin Guo chatted with Lin Yi Yang while packing things, and he even understood Lin Yi Yang and didn't let him speak, constantly talking himself.
While Yin Guo was on the phone, Lin Yi Yang also recalled his childhood experiences. Because Lin Yi Yang was quite arrogant when he was young, he often liked to argue with others. His teacher had specifically advised him about it. After bidding each other goodnight, Lin Yi Yang and Yin Guo were about to sleep but realized that neither of them had hung up the call, so they both kept it open until the next morning when they woke up and contacted each other again.
The elders heard about Lin Yi Yang's reform plan to send 30 students to study in the UK, which would require a significant amount of money.
Many elders didn't quite understand and thought it was a waste of resources. However, Lin Yi Yang persisted with his approach and even expressed his hopes to several elders. If successful, it would not only benefit his billiards club but also greatly enhance the development of the entire sports sector.
Three elders still had some reservations and approached Jiang Yang, hoping that he could convince Lin Yi Yang. They even wanted Jiang Yang to come forward and take over the entire Dongxin City again. However, Jiang Yang spoke up in support of Lin Yi Yang, deliberately playing the victim.
Lin Yi Yang visited Jiang Yang, who had recovered well and was about to be discharged from the hospital. Lin Yi Yang initially invited Jiang Yang to return to the central city and help, but Jiang Yang firmly declined, wanting to take some time off and remain hidden during that period. This way, Lin Yi Yang could carry out drastic reforms.
Jiang Yang also revealed some good news to Lin Yi Yang. This year's indoor sports event would include billiards as one of the disciplines. Lin Yi Yang was thrilled to hear this because it meant that billiards was gaining recognition, and there was a chance for it to be included in the Asian Games and even the Olympics.
Yin Guo arrived in Dongxin City and went to see Lin Yi Yang's many apprentices. They all tried to please Yin Guo because they knew he was Lin Yi Yang's boyfriend. Lin Yi Yang brought Yin Guo to his place, as Yin Guo would be leaving soon and wanted to spend as much time as possible with Lin Yi Yang before departing.
Yin Guo also shared some good news with Lin Yi Yang. His family's perception of Lin Yi Yang was gradually changing, and they even expressed a desire to meet him.
