Episode 19 recap: Bai Lan went to Fucheng to acquire a food factory.
Bai Lan's work went smoothly, but the leader said that acquiring and rebuilding a small factory is not as simple as building a resort. Bai Lan took the opportunity to negotiate with the leader and frankly stated that if the project is successful, they want to establish their own business! Afterward, Bai Lan went to negotiate with Lu Xiao Lu, but Lu Xiao Lu disagreed and brought up the incident with the German experts from years ago when Bai Lan was not the way they are now. The two of them couldn't reach an agreement, and soon Lu Xiao Lu encountered troubles!
Bai Lan returned to Shanghai, and the boss asked why they didn't inform them before going back to Fucheng. Bai Lan frankly explained that they have been working overtime for many years, so it's not unreasonable to arrange some personal time. The boss wasn't angry, and then Bai Lan received another work call. After the call ended, the other person asked if Bai Lan had applied for the general manager position at the branch again. Bai Lan frankly stated that the company had various reasons to reject them in the past two years, but this year they secured three major projects. They wanted to see if there were any more reasons to reject them from higher-ups. Bai Lan simply didn't want to continue staying in their current position!
Lu Xiao Lu went to pick up Lu Da Jiang, and on the way, Lu Xiao Lu talked about the changes in Fucheng over the years. Later, they were going to take Lu Da Jiang to a hotel in Tao Jie to celebrate. Lu Xiao Lu left Lu Da Jiang at the entrance and went to park the car. However, when Lu Xiao Lu returned, they were surprised to find that Lu Da Jiang was nowhere to be found. Tao Jie started to doubt if Lu Da Jiang didn't want to see them. Lu Xiao Lu didn't say anything and went after them. Lu Da Jiang was sitting by the roadside, and Lu Xiao Lu said that if they didn't want to see each other, then they won't. They later went to a boat house together, drank alcohol, and slowly talked about their feelings. Both brothers had their own difficulties, and they both had someone they couldn't be together with.
As expected, Bai Lan's application for the general manager position was rejected. Bai Lan angrily went to the office to find Boss Huang. For many years, Bai Lan had called them their master, but now Boss Huang said that it was the decision of the board of directors and they wanted to keep Bai Lan by their side. Bai Lan was very angry, said their piece, and was about to leave. However, Boss Huang began to remind Bai Lan not to forget how they begged for a chance during the most difficult times. Bai Lan had no choice but to swallow their anger.
The company had an Italian food project and now needed to select a location to build an Italian brand OEM factory. Everyone had their own ideas, but Bai Lan thought of the food factory in Fucheng. They pointed out that the food factory had undergone multiple unsuccessful reforms over the years and was currently in a slump. Acquiring it at a favorable price could be a great opportunity. Moreover, Fucheng had beautiful scenery, and who knows, maybe the Italians would like it. In the end, everyone was convinced.
Lu Xiao Lu and Li Guang Nan's ice cream has been stored in the cold storage of the food factory. Their business has been booming, and there are many things stored in the cold storage. Many workers who see it are envious. Lao Niupi also reminded them to be more discreet! The two acknowledged and prepared to leave when they saw a BMW driving in. Lu Xiao Lu seemed to see Bai Lan sitting in the car, but he wasn't sure.
The truth is that Bai Lan did come, and this time it was indeed to acquire the food factory, including the cold storage. After Bai Lan and Qin Juan briefly understood the situation, they went to talk to Lu Xiao Lu about the cold storage. Lu Xiao Lu specially made homemade milk tea for Bai Lan, but Bai Lan got straight to the point and talked about money. Lu Xiao Lu didn't like this side of Bai Lan. The two couldn't find common ground in their conversation, and Bai Lan eventually demanded that Lu Xiao Lu vacate the cold storage as soon as possible! Lu Xiao Lu had dinner with Lu Da Jiang, but Lu Xiao Lu was not in a good state. Tao Jie also came over, and when Lu Da Jiang noticed, he hid. Lu Xiao Lu watched Tao Jie alone and angrily accused Lu Da Jiang of not daring to come out and see him.
Both brothers were troubled by their love affairs, and neither of them found a solution to this problem. Bai Lan stayed overnight in the factory and looked at the appearance of the factory. Bai Lan thought about the promise made by their master that if they succeeded in this matter, they could establish their own business. Bai Lan longed for freedom so much! Soon, there was a meeting in the factory to announce the upcoming acquisition, and everyone was welcoming Bai Lan. Unexpectedly, the former Director Bi, now Vice Mayor Bi, also came. Bai Lan had to maintain a superficial peace, and Vice Mayor Bi expressed his cooperation, of course!
Lu Xiao Lu and Li Guang Nan calculated the profits and losses for this month. Li Guang Nan said they really couldn't let go of the cold storage, but Lu Xiao Lu started calculating how much money it would take to build a cold storage in the city. Before the negotiations were settled, trouble broke out at the cold storage. The workers were arguing to move the things out of the cold storage. Niu Xiao Ying was guarding there. Lu Xiao Lu and Li Guang Nan arrived quickly, and the situation became chaotic. Lu Xiao Lu accidentally got injured and, when he looked up, he unexpectedly saw Bai Lan!
