Episode 12 recap: Xu Man intentionally tried to match Chen Xiao Man and Ke Yan.
Liu Shang invited Chen Xiao Man to have a drink together and also invited his boss to discuss the bidding for a kiln project. Whenever there's a new project that can make money, the news spreads quickly. This time, Liu Shang's intentions were clearly not pure. Chen Xiao Man didn't want to offend him, so she arrived on time for the appointment. After exchanging a few pleasantries and about to leave, Liu Shang insisted on drinking with him. It was at this moment that Chen Xun Tong arrived, accompanied by Chen Xiao Man. Seeing Ke Yan and Liu Shang, Chen Xiao Man realized that this dinner gathering was not simple. She was afraid that her younger brother, Chen Xun Tong, would fall into a trap, so she insisted on taking him away.
Chen Xun Tong had been reprimanded by his father during the day and was feeling resentful. Now, Chen Xiao Man was trying to stop him, which made him even more disgusted with her. He intentionally said that she could only go back if she finished the entire bottle of alcohol. Chen Xiao Man had already finished her glass of wine, so Chen Xun Tong deliberately increased the amount of alcohol. Ke Yan couldn't bear to see Xiao Man drinking so excessively, so he pulled her away first.
In the car, Chen Xiao Man opened the window to get some fresh air. She thought about how Chen Xun Tong had no fear because he had his father's support. She felt envious. Unfortunately, she had passed away early due to difficult childbirth, and her father had also passed away. If both her parents were still alive, how content she would be.
Chen Xiao Man murmured with emotion, and Ke Yan couldn't bear to hear those words. Ke Yan successfully found a market for the goods that Chen Xun Tong was selling. Through his connections, he even managed to secure overseas orders. When he shared this good news with Chen Hua Feng and Xu Man, they were also very happy. At first, Chen Xun Tong was proud, thinking that he had earned a fortune for the Chen family. However, Ke Yan immediately said that he did all these things to help Chen Xiao Man, unable to bear seeing her work so hard. Upon hearing that Ke Yan did all this because of Chen Xiao Man, Chen Xun Tong became unhappy again.
Chen Hua Feng found the person who secretly placed private orders on behalf of Chen Xun Tong, who was also his junior martial brother. Despite his junior brother violating the rules of their martial arts school, Chen Hua Feng forgave him for this transgression. However, he made it clear that he would not allow him to make Meilan, Zhuju, and other tea cups that were traditionally taught by their master in the future.
Initially, their master only taught this technique to three individuals, one of whom was Chen Xiao Man's deceased father. Now, only Chen Xun Tong and Chen Hua Feng remained. However, the two disciples that Chen Hua Feng personally taught still couldn't work independently. They reminded Chen Hua Feng not to take his unique skills to the grave.
Chen Xun Tong openly questioned why Chen Xiao Man had such a significant impact on him as soon as he returned home. Not only did his mother pressure him to improve every day, but his father also always saw him as worthless, believing that everything he did was wrong. Seeing his younger brother in such distress, Chen Xiao Man felt uneasy as well. She took the initiative to find her brother and sincerely expressed that she didn't want to compete with him; she just wanted to be a good sister. Chen Xun Tong, sensing her sincerity, stopped speaking and left.
Initially, Ke Yan claimed that he would sell those porcelain pieces overseas. However, a few days later, a large number of them appeared locally in Ji Feng Group, sold at a price 20% lower than the group's original pricing. The bottom of the porcelain pieces openly bore the "Ji Feng" logo, whether they were high-quality imitations or authentic products. This situation was detrimental to the Ji Feng Group. The board of directors held Chen Hua Feng accountable at his home, as the whole incident was caused by Chen Xun Tong. Chen Hua Feng had no choice but to apologize repeatedly and earnestly requested everyone to give him another chance.
