Episode 7 recap: Qi Lin helped Zhang Rui and Zhang Qing reconcile.
Qi Lin mediated with Zhang Qing and also invited the three of them to eat at Qi Run Yu's restaurant. Zhang Qing asked Zhang Rui to take their father home, and then angrily overturned the dining table on the spot. Mu Zi Feng warned Dong Ming not to be too greedy, as Dong Ming wanted to make a huge profit by using the factory, so he secretly ran off with Dai Lan's money overnight.
Qi Lin invited Zhang Qing and Zhang Jian Guo to have dinner at Qi Run Yu's restaurant and even arranged for a car to pick them up. Zhang Rui personally cooked seafood congee, and Zhang Jian Guo recognized it as the skill passed down from his wife on the first bite. Zhang Qing guessed that Qi Lin wanted her and Zhang Rui to reconcile, and she suddenly became furious. She loudly called Zhang Rui out from the kitchen, forcing him to revoke the execution and unfreeze Zhang Jian Guo's salary card, while also loudly criticizing her deceased mother for being partial.
Zhang Rui was disgusted by Zhang Qing's arrogant and overbearing behavior, and rushed to hit her, but Qi Lin quickly stopped him and asked them to talk calmly. Zhang Rui was very heartbroken and didn't want to continue arguing with Zhang Qing, especially since his wife Xiao Ya was about to give birth. When Zhang Jian Guo learned that he was about to become a grandfather, he was so excited that he broke down in tears. Seeing this, Zhang Qing flew into a rage, telling Zhang Jian Guo to go with Zhang Rui's family. Zhang Qing got angrier and angrier, and ended up overturning the full table of dishes.
Qi Run Yu and Fang Dai Cheng came out to see the commotion, and were stunned. Zhang Jian Guo wanted to hit Zhang Qing, but Qi Lin quickly stopped him, scolding Zhang Qing for being too unreasonable. Zhang Rui tearfully took Zhang Jian Guo home. Zhang Qing vented all her anger on Qi Lin, who had originally wanted to help Zhang Qing and Zhang Rui reconcile, but ended up making a mess of the situation.
Li Bo used both soft and hard tactics on Dong Ming, but Dong Ming refused to budge, insisting on 30 million. Li Bo learned that the factory workers Shi Guangxing and Wu Xingbing had been injured at work and wanted Dong Ming to compensate them, but when he refused, they sued him. They later mysteriously withdrew the lawsuit. Li Bo personally went to Shi Guangxing's home to understand the situation, and Shi Guangxing listed all of Dong Ming's crimes of using inferior products and bribing workers to provide false testimony, which Li Bo carefully recorded.
Zhang Jian Guo proactively asked to live with Zhang Rui's family. When Zhang Rui went home to help Zhang Jian Guo pack, Zhang Qing spoke rudely to him, but Zhang Rui didn't want to argue with her and just told her to take care of herself. Qi Lin came to Zhang Qing's home and specially brought her seafood congee. He patiently persuaded Zhang Qing to reconcile with Zhang Rui. Zhang Qing was speechless, and as she tasted the familiar flavor of the congee, she felt quite conflicted in her heart.
Qi Lin went to the seafood restaurant to see Zhang Jian Guo, and also brought the cordyceps that Zhang Qing bought. Zhang Jian Guo did not believe it, so Qi Lin called Zhang Qing over. Zhang Qing apologized to Zhang Rui and Zhang Jian Guo. This was the first time Zhang Jian Guo saw Zhang Qing so calm and collected, and he was deeply moved to tears. Zhang Rui and his wife were also touched.
Qi Lin was relieved to see the family reconciled. Li Bo provided Chen Qi Lun with the witness testimonies of Shi Guang Xing and others, and Chen Qi Lun asked him to provide economic compensation to the victims and resolve Fang Qiang's shares as soon as possible. Li Bo brought the evidence to negotiate with Dong Ming, threatening to put him in jail, so Dong Ming reluctantly made concessions. Li Bo then transferred the remaining 7.1 million to Dong Ming, asking him to leave Qinggang as soon as possible.
The city leadership was concerned about the Yongkang Fitness Equipment Factory issue, and sent Shen Si Fang to handle it quickly. Shen Si Fang urged Chen Qi Lun to transfer the remaining payment to the fitness equipment factory, but Chen Qi Lun made excuses about unclear factory shares. Zhang Rui went to court to revoke the execution, and Zhang Jian Guo wanted to thank Qi Lin in person, but Qi Lin gave the credit to Chu Yun, who admitted her previous negligence towards Zhang Jian Guo and apologized.
Zhang Rui brought a banner to the Second Execution Court, which delighted Yan An Yang, Ye Xuan and others, who couldn't wait to hang it in a prominent position as Chu Yun requested. Chu Yun apologized to Qi Lin and returned the regulations book, relieving Qi Lin of having to memorize it. Chu Yun and Qi Lin reconciled, and Chu Yun invited everyone to dinner to celebrate after work.
Chu Yun took her colleagues to Zhang Rui's seafood restaurant, where Zhang Qing was a waitress, bustling about to serve Chu Yun's group tea and water. When Dai Lan returned home from work, she discovered that Dong Ming had absconded with all the money she had saved in the safe.
