Episode 15 recap: Shan Dan Dan has found an alternative path and achieved great success.
Gi Pei Ge encountered financial difficulties, and Pei Qin was worried that Pei Pei and the others would not be able to raise enough funds, so she directly took out the jewelry she had been saving for years. This made Pei Pei very embarrassed, but Shan Dan Dan had a way to get Pei Qin to take it back. She asked the old lady to keep those as her betrothal gifts, saying that if the family heirlooms were sold, the wedding would no longer have the same ritual significance. Shan Dan Dan's words made Pei Qin even more fond of her sensible and well-behaved nature.
Shan Dan Dan cooked medicinal soup to treat Pei Pei's injuries, and although it was bitter, Pei Pei found it sweet in her heart. Shan Dan Dan felt that Pei Pei must be very worried about the problem with Guan Yu's raw materials, but now with Shan Dan Dan's help, it can surely be resolved. After all, Shan Dan Dan was able to solve Pei Pei's prison troubles, so the raw material issue would be even easier. Pei Pei's trust in Shan Dan Dan made her very happy.
After returning to work, Pei Pei found that some craftsmen wanted to leave and go to the Su family. Although Manager Hao tried his best to persuade them to stay, the craftsmen were also in a difficult situation as they needed to support their families. Pei Pei did not force the craftsmen to stay against their will.
Seeing the predicament, Pei Qin decided to sell her wedding jewelry to raise money. This made everyone very uncomfortable. Just then, Shan Dan Dan arrived, hoping that Pei Qin could keep those jewelries as her betrothal gifts for the future.
Shan Dan Dan felt that without the raw materials, they should no longer do the jade business, but instead switch to the gold and silver jewelry business. This would resolve everything, and they can switch back later when the situation improves. Pei Pei told Manager Hao to sell off 70% of the current inventory and switch to the gold and silver jewelry business. Although Manager Hao did not fully understand, he had to follow the family's instructions.
Shan Dan Dan discussed with Pei Qin about Gi Pei Ge switching to the gold and silver jewelry business. Although Pei Qin was reluctant, she had no other choice now. Just like when Pei Pei's father passed away, it was very difficult, but Pei Qin found an alternative path that led to their current success. So Pei Qin also had great faith in Shan Dan Dan's ability to lead Gi Pei Ge to even greater heights.
Shan Dan Dan wanted to custom-make some women's clothing, but since the most famous ready-to-wear stores had very high prices, Shan Dan Dan wanted to bring the prices down and went to negotiate with the store owner. However, Boss Zhu was an upright person who never negotiated prices, but he had a soft spot - his young daughter was the apple of his eye.
When Shan Dan Dan went to the clothing store, she happened to see the daughter playing, so she quickly went to get on her good side. To her surprise, the daughter very much liked the brooch on Shan Dan Dan's clothes, so Shan Dan Dan gave it to her. Boss Zhu noticed that the brooch looked very beautiful on the clothes they had made, so Shan Dan Dan seized the opportunity to propose a collaboration. She suggested that in the future, their clothes would be paired with the gold and silver jewelry from Qipeige, and she would even give Boss Zhu a 10% cut of the profits. Seeing the attractive proposal, Boss Zhu didn't hesitate and agreed.
Shan Shuang Shuang created many exquisite pieces of jewelry for Qipeige, which amazed both Pei Pei and Shan Dan Dan. Shan Shuang Shuang wanted to take the opportunity to introduce some craftsmanship techniques related to phoenix crowns, but Pei Pei had never heard of them before, which surprised Shan Shuang Shuang. She realized that Pei Pei was not familiar with those techniques, so she decided to carefully investigate the phoenix crown craftsmanship.
Shan Dan Dan took Pei Pei to Huamanlou and wanted to use the young ladies there to promote the jewelry. The ladies were naturally fond of the beautiful jewelry, and were delighted to find that Shan Dan Dan was willing to give them away for free. Moreover, the ladies would even get a commission if customers purchased the jewelry through them, which made them extremely happy.
Su Jue was surprised to learn that Qipeige had shifted to making gold and silver jewelry, and was even more envious when she saw that Pei Pei had used micro-carving techniques in the craftsmanship. She realized that Pei Pei's skills were superior to her own.
Shan Dan Dan's ideas brought tremendous business benefits to Qipeige, making Pei Pei and the others very happy. Shan Dan Dan not only wanted to surpass her previous profits, but also wanted to outshine Su Yuanxuan. Shan Dan Dan invited Tan Qinghe to collaborate, and wanted to discuss the printing matters with her. She planned to treat Tan Qinghe to a big meal if the collaboration was successful. To Shan Dan Dan's surprise, Pei Pei also went along, worried that Shan Dan Dan and Tan Qinghe might be alone together.
