Episode 9 recap: Chen Xiao Man created a porcelain piece called "Clouds Clearing After Snowfall."
Chen Hua Feng was actively developing a blue glaze for the mugs. Another member of the board saw this as an opportunity and encouraged Chen Hua Feng to release the product at the right time. He suggested that Chen Hua Feng sell his stocks and enjoy his retirement. This person had been eyeing Chen Hua Feng's shares for a long time. However, Chen Hua Feng saw through his intentions and advised him to focus on developing the product's technology instead of making empty promises. By doing so, the development of Jifeng Yuyao would be even better.
Chen Xiao Man was also immersed in practicing at Uncle's kiln. Auntie San arranged for a spy in the kiln, but after several days without seeing Chen Xiao Man, she called Xu Man to report. Xu Man, still concerned about Chen Xiao Man, whispered in Chen Hua Feng's ear, claiming that Chen Xiao Man had only played with clay for a few days under her father's influence when she was a child and couldn't possibly accomplish anything with porcelain.
Ke Yan hadn't seen Chen Xiao Man for several days and became curious about what she was doing. He went to the kiln at Uncle's place and found Chen Xiao Man completely focused on shaping a model. The sunlight gently illuminated her, and a few strands of hair swayed in the breeze. With her long and dense eyelashes, the dedicated girl looked adorable. Ke Yan didn't want to disturb her pottery-making, so he watched for a while and quietly left.
Jifeng was dedicated to their craft, while Liu Shang and Ke Yan were also busy. Both teams were trying to establish connections with the local cultural bureau, and in the end, the director of the bureau decided to give the homepage of the website to Liu Shang's team. Initially, it was Ke Yan who came up with the idea of creating a promotional webpage, but unexpectedly, it ended up being used as a "bridal dress" for Liu Shang's team. Ke Yan's partner was very unhappy about this, but it was the decision of the local cultural bureau. Ke Yan reassured his partner not to be impatient, as having Liu Shang's products featured on the homepage didn't necessarily guarantee increased traffic.
Many years ago, Yu Jian fell deeply in love with Chen Xiao Man. Although they were senior and junior siblings, as time passed and now that Chen Xiao Man had finally returned from Beijing, Yu Jian could no longer hide his feelings. He even felt jealous of Ke Yan. Yu Jian's father saw through his thoughts and advised him that it was natural for them to treat Chen Xiao Man well, but he must not entertain any inappropriate ideas. Chen Xiao Man came from a prestigious background, while Yu Jian's family was compared to the glaring juxtaposition of porcelain shards and roof tiles.
However, Yu Jian was not convinced. Late at night, in the quietness, he began carving the silhouette of Chen Xiao Man on a cup. He used light to cast the silhouette on the wall, creating a beautiful image. His efforts paid off, and he finally achieved the desired blue glaze. At the last moment, he presented it to the boss. Although the cup had cracks and had been repaired, the glaze and color of the mug were exceptionally beautiful. When Chen Xiao Man referred to this particular shade of blue as "Clouds Clearing After Snowfall" and explained the inspiration behind it, the boss was highly satisfied. He promptly placed an order and gave Chen Xiao Man ample time to produce the mugs.
Despite the craftsmanship of many masters in the Jifeng Group, it was a young and inexperienced girl who took the lead. Xu Man outwardly showed great admiration but felt extremely jealous deep down.
