Episode 22 recap: Qi Lu's unexpected actions led to the villagers' unemployment.
In the face of this sudden frost, Qi Lu suddenly had an inspiration and experimentally produced a variety of Dulong resistant to frost, but Ou Yang Yi Xing still found it unbelievable. Now that mechanization is gradually entering the market, the villagers are deeply concerned that the surging utilization rate of these machines will affect their employment, and the entire factory area will be replaced by machinery instead of manual labor.
Qiu Yi Han had high expectations for this batch of wine. If it could be successfully delivered, there would be a hope to open up the international market. But to everyone's surprise, the wine from Xingxing Winery was detained by customs, because they failed to accurately declare. Qi Lu had his own view on this matter, believing that it was not a coincidence, but more likely a deliberate act.
Meanwhile, the foreign director actively contacted Qiu Yi Han, hoping to reach a cooperation. In 2013, Ningxia University, in cooperation with the industry and French universities, successfully established the second domestic wine college, and specially invited industry elites like Liu Lijun to provide guidance. This marked a solid step forward for the Helan Mountain East wine region in cultivating high-end talents, indicating that a batch of wine industry elites with Chinese characteristics and deep understanding of the local terroir are about to take the global stage.
Liu Lijun visited the wine region, stirring up a pool of spring water, and every winery was eager to reach cooperation with her, including Xingxing Winery. However, Yuhan secretly set traps in the contract, causing An Nan to fall into the trap. Seeing Ou Yang Yi Xing's worries, Qi Lu thought of his mother's close relationship with Liu Lijun, and decided to ask his mother to look into the situation.
After learning about this, Lv Xiao Ying believed that Liu Lijun was an upright person and was unlikely to do such a thing, and it was more likely that Yuhan was behind it without Liu Lijun's knowledge. Although Qi Lu and Ou Yang Yi Xing had established a romantic relationship, Ou Yang Yi Xing had not yet gathered the courage to confess to his mother.
One day, the two were embracing outside the door when they were accidentally seen by Yi Xing's mother. Liu Lijun visited the Ningxia wine region and was quite satisfied with what she saw and heard, and expressed her intention to conduct an in-depth investigation of the region to Qin He Ming. Accompanied by Wei Xue Cheng, Liu Lijun learned about the technical facilities of the first winery in detail and highly praised its leading position nationwide.
Wei Xue Cheng was overjoyed with the praise, and took out the precious wine in the factory to share with Liu Lijun. Because of Liu Lijun's huge influence on Ningxia wine in the South China and even the national market, Xiao Zheng paid special attention to this reception work, even neglecting his appointment with his girlfriend. Qin He Ming did not want to affect Xiao Zheng's relationship, so he advised him to temporarily put aside his work, since Liu Lijun intended to conduct the investigation on her own, and good wine need not fear being in a deep alley.
After a full day of investigation, Liu Lijun had an initial judgment on the Ningxia wine industry, and instructed Yuhan to organize the relevant information of Xingxing Winery and hand it over to her, and notified her secretary Guo Meng to contact the person in charge of Xingxing Winery. However, despite Qi Lu and An Nan's efforts, they still failed to meet Liu Lijun as planned, as Yuhan obstructed them repeatedly.
Ou Yang Yi Xing reluctantly sought help from Qin He Ming. Qin He Ming frankly admitted that even if the contract contained fraudulent elements, once signed, it would have legal effect. Unless they could find conclusive evidence of Han Yu framing An Nan, if the government got involved, it would likely cause irreversible damage to the cooperation between Star Winery and Liu Li Jun.
Therefore, Qin He Ming said he could not intervene, as it would only make things worse. At this time, Han Yu secretly met with Qiu Yi Han, exploiting her eagerness to sign the contract, and instigated her to prevent Ou Yang Yi Xing from meeting with Liu Li Jun, attempting to collude to destroy Star Winery.
Qiu Yi Han's conscience was not entirely lost. She secretly recorded Han Yu's instigation and gave the recording to Ou Yang Yi Xing, believing she would have her own countermeasures. To save her friend, Ou Yang Yi Xing took the risk of stopping Liu Li Jun's car and explained the truth of the matter to her. Liu Li Jun was unaware of this and said she would handle it personally.
Similarly, Liu Li Jun still had reservations about the cooperation with Star Winery, because she knew that Ou Yang Yi Xing had been forced to abandon her musical dreams to manage the winery, and if her father, Ou Yang Bin, recovered, the doors of Vienna would open up again, and she would have to make another choice.
Eventually, Liu Li Jun dismissed Han Yu and expressed recognition for Ou Yang Yi Xing, Qiu Yi Han, and others. Liu Li Jun gave Star Winery a task, requiring them to achieve 2 million in sales within a specified time. To help Ou Yang Yi Xing reach the target as soon as possible, Qiu Yi Han took her to attend a distributor's banquet, and the two of them got completely drunk every day. Qi Lu, concerned about Ou Yang Yi Xing's health, decided to step in and help her deal with the various distributors.
However, during one of the events, Qi Lu suffered from excessive drinking and was rushed to the hospital with gastric bleeding. Ou Yang Yi Xing, Qiu Yi Han, and An Nan rushed to the hospital, and fortunately, Qi Lu was not seriously ill. Lv Xiao Ying, upon learning that Yi Xing was at the hospital caring for Qi Lu, hoped her son could seize the opportunity.
In the following days, Qin He Ming accompanied Liu Li Jun to visit various wineries and vineyards, further deepening their mutual trust. Lv Xiao Ying rushed from Shanghai to Yinchuan, visited her father, and then went to her husband's grave to vent her heart, finally letting go of the long-standing grievances, reconciling with Yi Xing's mother, and visiting Star Winery accompanied by Yi Xing and Qi Lu.
Gao Yu Jie applied to enter the brewing workshop again, but was still rejected by Qiu Yi Han, who was concerned that Gao Yu Jie would leak the formula to Star Winery. Gao Yu Jie felt deeply aggrieved by Qiu Yi Han's suppression and actively sought comfort from her mentor, Shi Ming Shan, who then contacted Xie Yong to help her disciple.
