Episode 8 recap: Shi Ming Shan infiltrated the Wei army to gather evidence.
The Wei army secretly contacted other winemakers and asked them to prepare port wine according to their own methods, believing it would become a sought-after product and they could make a big profit. Originally, Ou Yang Yi Xing agreed to sell the port wine to Qiu Yi Han, but at a critical moment, he suddenly reneged on the contract, making Qiu Yi Han very angry, especially when she learned that they had contacted a major foreign buyer.
An'nan discovered that a wine with a label and bottle from the Star Winery had suddenly appeared on the market, but the wine inside was completely different from the red wine, so he immediately took it to Ou Yang Yi Xing to inquire about the situation. However, Ou Yang Yi Xing was puzzled by this and could only investigate further based on the clues.
At the winery's internal meeting, Shi Ming Shan and Ou Yang Yi Xing had a dispute, and the Wei army took the opportunity to try to win over Shi Ming Shan, introducing him to a "better" place. Qiu Yi Han originally thought Ou Yang Yi Xing would never agree so easily, but after weighing the pros and cons, Ou Yang Yi Xing decided to give all the port wine to Aidebu, which made her very moved, and the two sisters reconciled.
Qi Lu heard the news and was very angry, accusing Ou Yang Yi Xing of being simple-minded and naive. Similarly, the Wei army felt that Qiu Yi Han had seized their own interests, and immediately contacted their friend Tiger Brother. Shi Ming Shan patiently persuaded Qi Lu, believing that Ou Yang Yi Xing's cooperation with Qiu Yi Han might not be entirely bad, and although he could understand Qi Lu's concern that Qiu Yi Han might have other motives, since Yixing had already made the decision, it didn't matter if she had misjudged the person, as everyone in life had to go through some hardships, and it might even be a good thing to learn a lesson from the experience.
Later, the Wei army invited Tiger Brother to dinner and persuaded him to cooperate with them, saying that as long as he prepared the port wine according to their method, it would certainly become a sought-after product. At first, Tiger Brother had some concerns, as selling fake wine was illegal and the risk was too high, but when he heard the Wei army's offer of a 50-50 split, he was tempted by the profit.
In the middle of the night, Ou Yang Yi Xing was checking the accounts and found that the high-interest loan accounts did not match, suspecting that it was related to the sales manager Wei Jiang.
Shi Ming Shan felt that Ou Yang Yi Xing's suspicion was reasonable and advised her not to alarm the culprit prematurely, but to take it one step at a time. Ou Yang Yi Xing was keeping her father company in the hospital when she suddenly noticed her father's fingers moving. She hurriedly called the doctor and nurse, but the doctor's examination determined that Ou Yang Bin was still in an unconscious state.
Soon, the new year festival arrived in Helan Mountain, and every household was bustling with excitement. Qi Lu also temporarily stayed in Shanghai. During this period, Leno often came to the restaurant to see Lv Xiao Ying, and Su Sha could see that he was interested in his teacher, but Qi Lu just smiled without saying anything.
Ou Yang Yi Xing continued to talk to her father in the hospital ward, reminiscing about the joyful new year celebrations of her childhood, and hoping that her father would wake up soon.
Qi Lu called Ou Yang Yi Xing and they exchanged New Year's greetings. Shi Ming Shan drank with Qi's grandfather and chatted. Qiu Yi Han and her family visited Qiu Guo Dong's house, and the whole family was joyful. Not long after the New Year, a mysterious dealer suddenly appeared in the production area, causing Qiu Yi Han to lose her major client.
Because the major client defaulted at a critical moment, Qiu Yi Han was furious and dispatched all her personnel to conduct a thorough investigation. Qiu Guo Dong saw his daughter's frowning expression and advised her not to be too obsessed with this matter, to think positively, and not to put too much pressure on herself, but to spend more time with her husband and child.
Due to the failure of the guarantee, Qin He Ming was worried. Fortunately, Professor Wang brought a plan for the establishment of a wine college, which was a good news amidst the bad news. At the same time, a large number of counterfeit wines of the Xingxing Winery appeared on the market. Although they had the same labels and bottles, they were old wines in new bottles. Ou Yang Yi Xing tasted the problem immediately and realized the seriousness of the situation.
Ou Yang Yi Xing suddenly remembered the USB drive given by Qiu Yi Han, which contained recordings of Wei Jun's plan to counterfeit. She asked An Nan to find out which dealers had recently imported this Syrah red wine. Qi Lu suspected that the fake wine incident was related to Wei Jun, so Shi Ming Shan decided to cooperate with Qi Lu and put on a double act, one openly and one secretly, to collect evidence of Wei Jun's counterfeiting.
At the meeting, Ou Yang Yi Xing openly questioned the sales performance, and Wei Jun made various excuses. Shi Ming Shan spoke up for Wei Jun, angering Ou Yang Yi Xing. The two had a heated argument due to their different views. Shi Ming Shan angrily left the meeting room and started packing up in the office. Wei Jun took the opportunity to approach Shi Ming Shan and offered to introduce him to a "better" place.
The government decided to establish a guarantee fund to solve the financing difficulties of the wineries from the source. Qiu Yi Han proactively approached Qin He Ming, willing to invest in the guarantee fund. Wei Jun's confidant Xu Jing was called aside by Yi Xing for a talk, and in his panic, he revealed what he knew, but Wei Jun did not notice Xu Jing's unusual behavior and personally took Shi Ming Shan to visit the Wei family winery, which used to be a soy sauce factory.
Shi Ming Shan quietly observed the surroundings and stated that he would do his best to help Wei Jun, which made Wei Jun believe him and get excited about having Shi Ming Shan's support. Qin He Ming politely declined Qiu Yi Han's investment, and through Deputy Director Chen, confirmed that the principal of the guarantee fund would be fully provided by the regional finance department. Qin He Ming was responsible for convening experts to discuss the fund usage plan to ensure everything was implemented safely and securely.
