Episode 36 recap: Mason's Downfall After Losing to Luo Cheng Yu
In episode 36, a heated argument at a meeting created a rift between Luo Cheng Yu and Chu An Ge, particularly due to Luo Cheng Yu's attitude. That evening, Luo Cheng Yu personally apologized to Chu An Ge. While Chu An Ge responded from the perspective of a decision-maker, she was visibly dissatisfied and even questioned whether Luo Cheng Yu was hiding something, but he firmly denied it.
On the way home, Chu An Ge reiterated her hope that Luo Cheng Yu would be transparent with her, not wanting to be the last to know.
Meanwhile, Qi Dongfang and He Weizheng actively reported the progress of the Dream City project to their superiors. Faced with severe international technology blockades, they innovatively proposed a technology aggregation strategy to unite domestic and foreign tech companies through capital integration, technical complementarity, and supply chain synergy, forming a powerful alliance to tackle the challenges.
As the Dream City plan in Jiangnan City officially launched, the market landscape shifted dramatically. Brant learned that Sunrise had united 37 tech companies in the Jiangnan region to form an industry alliance focused on intelligent chip R&D, and announced a separation from HB Company. Yu Jiaming quickly recognized the far-reaching impact of this move, believing it would attract more high-tech companies to join, and urged Brant to adjust his strategic layout.
At this time, Mason made a desperate attempt to acquire Sunrise, wanting to compete with HB Company, but was unaware of Luo Cheng Yu's hidden plans. Chu An Ge and Yao Na urgently visited Mason, insisting that he fulfill the smart chip delivery contract with MC Company before the acquisition. Mason eventually conceded, but set the condition of completing the contract by the end of the month.
After Ding Muyang's approval, the signing was scheduled for the next day, but Luo Cheng Yu's absence raised Chu An Ge's suspicions - he had secretly flown to Silicon City to execute another major plan. In Silicon City, Luo Cheng Yu successfully acquired MC China outright, becoming its largest shareholder, which was a bolt from the blue for Mason.
When Mason rushed back, the die was cast - Sunrise and MC China had completed a capital reorganization, merging into the Sunrise Cloudlight Holding Group, with Sunrise left as an empty shell. Not only did Mason lose control of Sunrise, but he was also exposed for misappropriating funds to support the Maya project, ultimately resulting in his downfall and dismissal from the company.
Luo Cheng Yu led Sunrise Cloudlight to confront HB Company, his sudden counterattack taking Brant by surprise. Yu Jiaming secretly prepared, gathering evidence to retaliate against Mason, while also working to change Brant's bias against China. All of this was quietly observed by Jiang Yifei, who admired Yu Jiaming's perseverance and sacrifices.
After learning the truth from Mason, Chu An Ge was not only shocked but also outraged and disappointed, feeling that she had been used and abandoned by Luo Cheng Yu. In her anger, she decided to break up with him and left a resignation letter, resolutely returning to Silicon City. Luo Cheng Yu was devastated by Chu An Ge's departure, and they had a final farewell through holographic projection.
Soon after, the Sunrise Cloudlight Group officially set sail, with Luo Cheng Yu returning to the HT China headquarters to release the Smart City 3.0 white paper, marking the company's new journey in the smart city field. Through the joint efforts of the Jiangnan and Silicon City governments, they secured a six-month buffer period for the restricted list, buying precious time for the company's continued development.
The emotional entanglement between Luo Cheng Yu and Chu An Ge has also become a complex and indescribable element in this business saga.
