Episode 32 recap: Tensions Arise Between Han Ting and Xingchen

In episode 32, Zeng Di originally planned to use financing to squeeze Han Ting out of Xingchen's board of directors. But unexpectedly, Chang He suddenly betrayed her and sold all of his Xingchen shares to Han Ting. This allowed Han Ting to complete his task ahead of time, giving him more leverage in the board of directors.

Zeng Di accused Chang He of betraying her, but Chang He felt that for businessmen, profit is the most important thing. He shamelessly said that the value of the Guanghua shares given to him by Han Ting was much higher than Xingchen's, and even urged Zeng Di to continue cooperating with him, saying that "the enemy's enemy is a friend."

Zeng Di angrily walked away. As Han Ting's shares in the Dongyang Group continued to increase, Zeng Di still hypocritically congratulated him. In fact, Han Ting had long seen through Zeng Di's scheming in recent times, and if he let her continue, the consequences would be dire.

So Han Ting directly asked Zeng Di why she had colluded with Chang He, and presented photos of Zeng Di meeting with Chang He privately as evidence. Faced with this irrefutable evidence, Zeng Di had nothing to say. When Han Ting demanded the shares in her hands, she coldly accused him of using any means necessary to achieve his goals, even calculating against his own girlfriend, and Ji Xing's feelings for him might never be the same again after this.

On New Year's Eve, Lizhi didn't go home, but her mother came to her with a suitcase to spend the New Year. As soon as they met, her mother started nagging about Lizhi's previous unreliable boyfriend, saying she didn't listen and had poor judgment, and even forced her to be set up on blind dates. Just then, Su Zhi Zhou came to deliver New Year's goods to Lizhi, and hearing her mother's nagging, he deliberately introduced himself as Lizhi's boyfriend, helping Lizhi out of the awkward situation.

Lizhi was worried about how to get rid of her mother's nagging, and Su Zhi Zhou's arrival made her very grateful. Su Zhi Zhou was very attentive in front of Lizhi's mother, which made her very happy.

On New Year's Day, they had the New Year's Eve dinner together. Xingchen also went back to her mother's house for the New Year, but originally planned to go back with Han Ting, but ended up going back alone.

Her parents saw that she was gloomy, and guessed that she had gone through a breakup. After dinner, Xingchen went out alone, seeing the dazzling fireworks and reminiscing about last year when she watched the fireworks with Han Ting, but now she was alone. She also recalled many past memories with Han Ting.

Han Ting spent the New Year alone at home. Xiao Yi Xiao came to see him and found his home very quiet, completely unlike when Xingchen was there, which was lively and full of life. Han Ting was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly, seeing Xingchen's scent on the throw pillow, and her toiletries still lonely in the bathroom, but now there was only him.

After Xingchen was merged into the Dongyang Group, at the first board meeting after the New Year, Han Ting did not see Xingchen. Su Zhi Zhou and Lizhi attended the meeting on behalf of Xingchen. Han Ting insisted on waiting for Xingchen to come to the meeting, but the assistant told him that Xingchen would not come. At the board meeting, Han Ting had the assistant read out the company's personnel adjustment plan and corporate system.

Although Xingchen was merged into Dongyang, Han Ting still retained Xingchen's independent R&D team and decision-making power, which was the requirement put forward by Xingchen originally, and Han Ting fulfilled it. After the meeting, Lizhi and Su Zhi Zhou returned to the company and found that Xingchen had sent blessing messages and encouraging words to every employee in the company, and also prepared gifts for them.

But strangely, they never saw Xingchen's presence.
