Episode 25 recap: Jia-Ming Yu's Infiltration Attempt Fails, Lands Him in Jail
In this episode, several key events unfold: Masen approaches Brandt, revealing his desire to jointly target Sunrise East, but Brandt does not respond. Soon after, Jia-Ming Yu and Yee-Fei Jiang call a company meeting, announcing plans to focus on cloud-based security systems to compete with Sunrise East. However, some employees express skepticism, leading Yee-Fei to fire Jia-Ming on the spot.
Masen personally seeks cooperation from Dao Zheng, but Dao wants to use MC China's project advantages as a basis. Brandt then visits Sunrise, directly stating his intentions and appealing to their past relationship. Despite this, Dao diplomatically responds that the upcoming Sunrise agricultural online project bidding will be open and fair, and he hopes HB will actively participate to form a true strategic partnership.
As the industry giants take turns meeting with Dao, Cheng-Yu Luo watches from his car, unconcerned. He has already seen a surge in orders and has plans for a new product line, seeking 1 billion yuan from Dao to execute. Dao readily agrees, on the condition that Sunrise gains control over Sunrise's big data backend and security business.
With the company's upcoming IPO, many want to invest and capitalize on the opportunity. Sih-Yuan Chu instructs Mu-Yang Ding to advise Cheng-Yu Luo to be cautious in his selection, while he believes An-Ge Chu's romantic judgment is severely lacking.
Suddenly, Helen approaches Cheng-Yu Luo, expressing her desire to invest 15% of Sunrise's shares, saying she was drawn to Luo's R&D team at HT China.
Jia-Ming Yu is shocked by Helen's investment, as he no longer wishes to work with Cheng-Yu Luo. Masen believes Helen's sole focus is profitability, and that Jia-Ming's company is far behind Luo's. Masen then instructs Jia-Ming to hack into Luo's company system and obtain their next plans, a criminal act Jia-Ming feels he has no choice but to carry out.
Later, a delighted Jia-Ming returns home to find Yee-Fei with a positive pregnancy test, and he promises to take care of the household duties. However, once Yee-Fei is asleep, Jia-Ming secretly goes to the study and begins his infiltration attempt on Sunrise's system.
