Episode 24 recap: Xie Guang Kun rallied allies to cause disruption.
Xie Guang Kun learned from Guan Changshan that it would be enough to punish Bai Qing Ming now. If they couldn't do it alone, they could assemble a team. Xie Guang Kun quickly thought of partnering with Li Yin Ping's father, with the aim of completely ousting Bai Qing Ming. Xie Guang Kun thought it was a good idea. Later, Wang Xiao Meng wanted to recruit people, but couldn't find contact information on her phone, so she decided to go home and look for it. Xie Guang Kun approached Li Yin Ping's father to discuss cooperation and assured him that he could drive out Bai Qing Ming within five days. Li Yin Ping's father agreed.
Upon returning home, Wang Xiao Meng planned to find her old phone. Zhao Jinfeng promptly handed over the phone and wanted to have a conversation with Wang Xiao Meng. Zhao Jinfeng wanted to inquire about the situation between her and Xie Yong Qiang and whether there was any room for reconciliation.
In fact, Xie Yong Qiang also believed in Wang Xiao Meng. It was just a matter of saving face. Wang Xiao Meng mentioned that she and Xie Yong Qiang had been together for many years and were under a lot of pressure, so they wouldn't engage in any inappropriate behavior. Zhao Jinfeng understood Wang Xiao Meng's situation, but she also expressed missing the children a lot. With no parents at home, the children felt empty inside. Zhao Jinfeng advised Wang Xiao Meng to consider stepping back. Wang Xiao Meng reassured her that once the factory was established, she would retire and focus on taking care of the children. This put Zhao Jinfeng's mind at ease.
Xie Guang Kun first went to the soy products factory to find Wang Xiao Meng's father. He mentioned that news of the situation between Bai Qing Ming and Wang Xiao Meng was spreading throughout the nearby villages, and he wanted Bai Qing Ming to withdraw his investment. However, Wang Xiao Meng's father refused, and Xie Guang Kun resorted to using the children as a threat. Nonetheless, Wang Xiao Meng's father paid no attention to him.
After returning home, Wang Xiao Meng had a conversation with her daughter about the matter. After all, Wang Xiao Meng and Xie Yong Qiang were still in conflict. Wang Xiao Meng stated that once the branch factory was established, she would go home and take care of the children. Wang Xiao Meng also wanted to explain things to Xie Yong Qiang, but he was unwilling to listen at the moment.
Wang Xiao Meng shared her thoughts with Bai Qing Ming, who believed it was too early to make a decision and suggested waiting until the branch factory was running smoothly. Guan Changshan visited Xie Guang Kun's father-in-law and shared his thoughts. In fact, Xie Guang Kun sought advice from Guan Changshan because he was unable to make progress on his own. Guan Changshan suggested that they should not take the lead and become pawns in the game, but Li Yin Ping's father lacked the strength to act.
Guan Changshan thought they could use public opinion to create trouble for Bai Qing Ming, but that would implicate Xie Yong Qiang and Wang Xiao Meng. Since they couldn't make any progress no matter what, Guan Changshan decided to give up. Xie Guang Kun expressed his frustration with Guan Changshan and asked him to go back quickly.
However, Guan Changshan's comment about "scaring" gave Xie Guang Kun an idea. Taking advantage of the evening, Xie Guang Kun went to the factory but accidentally slipped and fell. He had to endure the pain. Then he brought Li Yin Ping's father to discuss his new idea. They decided to wait for Bai Qing Ming to fall asleep before taking action.
Zhao Jinfeng also found Xie Yong Qiang, but he didn't want to talk and claimed he knew what was going on. Xie Yong Qiang actually understood Wang Xiao Meng, but the public pressure was too great for him to leave the house. Zhao Jinfeng sympathized with Wang Xiao Meng and shared her thoughts with Xie Yong Qiang. Xie Yong Qiang stated that he wouldn't divorce but acknowledged that he was engaged in a power struggle.
Xie Guang Kun and Li Yin Ping's father were prepared. They bought black socks from the supermarket to cover their heads, fearing that they would be recognized. They climbed over the wall wearing gloves and carrying tools. As soon as Wang Xiao Meng heard a noise, she woke up immediately. The two men were getting ready to climb the wall, but Li Yin Ping's father's legs gave out, so they had to give up on climbing.
When Li Yin Ping's father returned home, his face was covered in dirt. He came up with an excuse that he had gone to do some work at Xie Guang Kun's house. Xie Guang Kun was also covered in mud. Xie Yong Qiang knew that his father must have gone to see Wang Xiao Meng and told him not to interfere in his affairs, but Xie Guang Kun still refused to admit it.
Everyone hates Xie Guang Kun, but what he says is indeed the truth. The things he worries about are also real issues in our society. In the TV drama, Wang Xiao Meng and Bai Ming Qing are fine, but in the real world, just think about how important 10 million is for a small business owner...
You can imagine that Xie Guang Kun's mindset is the most authentic throughout the entire series, while the pure thoughts of others can only be found in fairy tales.
Such a disgusting plot! Wang Xiao Meng has never held back in all these seasons, supporting the Xie family and raising children. Xie Yong Qiang only recently started to have some success in his career, and now he expects Wang Xiao Meng to give up her own career and become a housewife.
It's already 2024, and there's still such a disgusting plot. Some men simply don't deserve to have a wife or to have women bear children for them.
