Episode 16 recap: Qi Lu and Ou Yang Yi Xing's relationship is heating up.
Regarding the plan to build a characteristic health and wellness town at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, Fujian businessman Hu Jian Min has new ideas, but the construction costs are by no means a small amount for him. Ou Yang Yi Xing personally came to Shanghai to find Qi Lu and met with Lv Xiao Ying, and Lv Xiao Ying had a private conversation with Ou Yang Yi Xing, expressing a strong hope that Qi Lu could leave the Xingxing Winery.
Watching Ou Yang Yi Xing and Lv Xiao Ying converse, Qi Lu felt uneasy and wanted to go over to see the situation, but was stopped. Because Zhang Bo Rao's report on the development had a huge impact on Qiu Yi Han's financing, making Qiu Yi Han very angry, and Zhang Bo Rao also felt guilty, so he had Qiu Guo Dong come to plead for him.
Since all the wineries in the region are troubled by raw materials, various adverse phenomena are gradually emerging, so Ou Yang Yi Xing, at the instigation of Qiu Yi Han, has thought about purchasing raw materials externally, and consulted Xu Jing for her opinion. Xu Jing, under the threat of Tiger Ge, did not stop Yixing's idea, but it was Qi Lu who resolutely opposed it, and the two had a dispute.
Qi Lu believes that Ou Yang Yi Xing's approach will ruin the winery, but Ou Yang Yi Xing does not agree with Qi Lu's view, as she has to consider the operation and running of the business, and how to make the Xingxing Winery brand stronger, hoping that Qi Lu can understand her difficulties.
However, Qi Lu ignored it and still insisted on his previous attitude, asking Ou Yang Yi Xing to choose between him and the grapes from outside. With the accelerated development of the wine industry in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain, the supply of wine grapes cannot meet the demand, and more and more wineries are eyeing grapes from other regions, but the uneven quality is eroding the hard-earned reputation of the eastern foothills.
Due to the ever-increasing price of winemaking grapes in the market, even reaching double the original price, Hu Jian Min and others are very dissatisfied, believing that buying grapes from other places is a devastating blow to their red wine industry. Faced with this situation, Qin He Ming made two things clear to everyone: first, he will spare no effort to crack down on those who damage the reputation of the region; second, he will humbly learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries, formulate a strict regional protection system, and promote it to the legislative level.
Hearing Qin He Ming say this, the people present finally felt relieved, but Vice Minister Chen was very angry, accusing Qin He Ming's negligence for causing the market chaos. Qin He Ming promised that he would not let the situation deteriorate and would promptly curb it. Originally, Qiu Yi Han had planned to stop purchasing grapes from outside due to this, but she was already in a bad mood, and her daughter Zhang Xiao Mi's poor performance made her even more annoyed.
Qiu Yi Han angrily reprimanded her daughter, until Zhang Bo Rao returned from outside and persuaded his wife to stop scolding their daughter.
Afterwards, Zhang Bo Rao brought a doll to the room to comfort Xiao Mi, knowing that she was often criticized by her mother and the mother-daughter relationship had become very estranged, but he told Zhang Xiao Mi to understand Qiu Yi Han's difficulties.
Tiger Ge invited Xu Jing to meet with him, requiring her to pass a message to Ou Yang Yi Xing, as he now controlled the entire grape cultivation area and forced Ou Yang Yi Xing to hand over the Xingxing Winery. Under Tiger Ge's coercion, Xu Jing had to tell Ou Yang Yi Xing about this matter, and Tiger Ge was willing to supply raw materials to the Xingxing Winery at cost price, but Ou Yang Yi Xing was furious and scolded Xu Jing.
The chaotic situation of raw material shortages attracted the attention of the relevant departments, and Qin He Ming actively intervened. The conflict between Ou Yang Yi Xing and Qi Lu had not been resolved, and the two gathered in a restaurant in An Nan, arguing back and forth, until Ou Yang Yi Xing broke down in tears, leaving Qi Lu at a loss and quickly apologizing to her.
After learning that Ou Yang Yi Xing was being extorted by Tiger Ge for the winery, Qi Lu took her to talk to Qin He Ming about the situation. Qin He Ming reported it to the deputy director Chen immediately, planning to cooperate with the public security department to crack down on this criminal group. In addition, he united the industrial and commercial quality inspection departments to launch a crackdown on illegal and criminal activities in the grape wine production and sales sector.
When everything was ready, Ou Yang Yi Xing went to see Tiger Ge with Xu Jing, but was kidnapped by Tiger Ge's subordinates. Qi Lu and Qin He Ming followed in a car to the abandoned building, and the police also cordoned off the area. During the arrest, Qi Lu was accidentally injured while protecting Yi Xing, and Yi Xing personally went to the hospital to take care of Qi Lu, resolving their past animosity.
Regarding the difficulties in raw material supply, Deputy Director Chen suggested solving the problem at the root, as Tiger Ge and his gang were the ones disrupting the market. Qin He Ming decided to completely block the news of Tiger Ge's arrest, luring them out, and Wei Xue Cheng also agreed to provide 50,000 mu of grapes at cost price to support the wineries in the area that were short of raw materials.
Xu Jing felt guilty about Tiger Ge's affairs and voluntarily offered to resign to Ou Yang Yi Xing, but Ou Yang Yi Xing comforted and persuaded her to stay, moving Xu Jing to tears. Xu Jing ultimately decided to stay at the Xingxing Winery and work even harder. Soon, Deputy Director Chen finalized the draft and asked Qin He Ming to organize an internal discussion meeting to solicit opinions on the specific terms of the draft, not only from winery operators, but from all practitioners and related parties.
