Episode 8 recap: There are problems with the casino project.
Zhu Li Qi told Qiu Shou Ren that her uncle wanted to contract the laundry work of some hotels under the Qiu family's umbrella. However, Qiu Shou Ren explained that those jobs had been contracted to Dai Qi Ting's relatives in recent years. Zhu Li Qi mentioned that her uncle and aunt had been kind to her and begged Qiu Shou Ren for help. Reluctantly, Qiu Shou Ren agreed.
Qiu Shou Ren approached Qiu Zhi Bin to discuss the matter, and Qiu Zhi Bin agreed to talk to Dai Qi Ting and persuade her. Early in the morning, Qiu Hao Er saw Qiu Zhi Lan drinking and approached her with concern. However, Qiu Zhi Lan didn't appreciate it. Qiu Hao Er asked if she had developed feelings for Gao Jun, but she angrily questioned whether only she was allowed to like Gao Jun and if Qiu Hao Er was showing off. Qiu Hao Er tried to advise her that liking someone who doesn't like you back would only result in hurt, but Qiu Zhi Lan ignored her and told her to shut up and leave. So, Qiu Hao Er had no choice but to walk away.
Gao Jun came to find Qiu Hao Er, and she admitted that she still had feelings for him. However, she made it clear that it didn't mean she would be with him again. Gao Jun realized that she still cared about what happened in the past and asked how he could earn her forgiveness. Qiu Hao Er replied that she couldn't forget and didn't want to be hurt by him again. Besides, her priority now was managing the Qiu family business, and she didn't have time for anything else. Afterward, she walked away.
Qiu Hao Er saw the news about a series of bankruptcies in American banks, and financial experts speculated that it could potentially impact the banking industry in her city. This aligned with the information she had received from a friend before. Qiu Hao Er smiled happily. Qiu Zhi Bin told Qiqi that the Qiu family intended to open a casino in Singapore and hoped that her father could collaborate with them. Qiqi immediately understood that his approach was for this purpose. She felt disappointed and stated that he wasn't her boyfriend yet. She wanted him to become a true boyfriend before discussing any casino plans.
During the meeting for the construction of the casino, Qiu Zhi Bin expressed dissatisfaction with everyone's plans, considering them lacking creativity. Ma Xiao Ling mentioned having watched an interview with the gambling king of Southeast Asia, who expressed a fondness for Chinese historical dramas. Ma Xiao Ling suggested that they could theme the hotel construction based on different architectural styles from ancient China, which could be a unique selling point. Qiu Zhi Bin was pleased with the idea and praised her for it.
They worked together overnight and finally completed the plan. During these days, Qiu Zhi Bin and Ma Xiao Ling's relationship also developed rapidly.
After securing the laundry work for several hotels, Zhu Li Qi also helped her uncle by introducing them to several shops in the diamond mall. She mentioned that her stepdaughter was in charge of that place and could offer them a discount. She also suggested that they purchase more new washing machines and dryers. However, her uncle said they couldn't come up with that much money at the moment and would think of a solution.
During a meal, Dai Qi Ting brought up the issue of losing business for two hotels from her family. Zhu Li Qi and Qiu Zhi Bin spoke up on Zhu Li Qi's behalf, saying they agreed to it. Qiu Shou Yi also helped mediate the situation, and Dai Qi Ting had no choice but to drop the matter.
In the evening, Qiu Shou Yi asked Qiu Zhi Bin why he agreed to the arrangement. Qiu Zhi Bin listed several advantages that would help Qiu Shou Yi and convinced him. Qiu Shou Yi appreciated his decision. At that moment, Qiu Shou Yi received a call from Mr. Qian, who informed him that there were issues with the bank loan.
Due to bankruptcies in American banks, Qian's bank had suspended all lending projects. As a result, the Qiu family couldn't come up with the 7 billion all at once. Qiu Shou Yi and Qiu Zhi Bin searched for solutions. Then, Ma Xiao Ling came in and mentioned that the fire safety system in the diamond mall had expired and needed to be updated promptly. Qiu Hao Er was put in charge of managing the diamond mall, and Ma Xiao Ling asked if they should move it to her office. Qiu Zhi Bin said he would look into it. Qiu Zhi Bin also received a call from Qiqi, who said her father thought the plan was acceptable, but the gambling king thought it was unfair for the Qiu family to have a 50% stake and refused to cooperate.
Qiu Zhi Tong tried to persuade Qiu Zhi Lan, saying she was a typical spoiled brat who only knew about indulging in food and fun. If Qiu Zhi Tong were Gao Jun, she would also choose Qiu Hao Er. Qiu Zhi Tong advised her to enhance her inner qualities. Qiu Zhi Lan took it to heart and went to the company the next day, summoning everyone for a meeting. She announced her goal of developing Y&N into the most powerful multimedia talent agency in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. Zhu Li Qi raised many questions, but Qiu Zhi Lan passionately brushed them off.
Zhu Li Qi received 70% of the laundry income, while her uncle only received 30%. Although her aunt wasn't very happy about it, Zhu Li Qi provided the startup capital, so there was no way to oppose it. Qiu Zhi Tong overheard an intimate conversation between Shao Jia Bi and Qiu Zhi Bin and noticed something off in their daily behavior. She became suspicious of their relationship and asked Shao Jia Bi about it, but Shao Jia Bi didn't tell her the truth.
Feeling guilty, Shao Jia Bi told Qiu Zhi Bin about the situation, fearing that Qiu Zhi Tong would find out that she is Qiu Zhi Bin's biological mother. Unfortunately, Qiu Zhi Tong happened to overhear their conversation.
