Episode 8 recap: The data of the Xuri Technology project has been breached.

Hackers quickly infiltrated the computer system, and despite Jianyang's efforts to set up firewalls, it still resulted in the loss of data for the new project. After an investigation, it was discovered that there were two groups of hackers - one was blocked by their security system, while the other directly breached three firewalls. Based on their methods, it is suspected that they were able to penetrate the core database.

Some colleagues suspect that there is a mole within the company, and the most likely person is Jianyang, which makes him furious and want to fight with the person. Luo Chengyu informs Chu Siyuan and Ding Muyang about this, and they both believe that the reappearance of the hackers is no coincidence. The top priority is to rescue the "Xionghong".

Chu Ange asks Luo Chengyu to stop and do what they need to do. At the dinner table, the atmosphere is particularly oppressive, and although Luo Chengyu tries to find topics, the father-daughter conflict is too deep-rooted. Just as Chu Ange is about to leave, Chu Siyuan's former student, Maisen, arrives with a gift, which makes Chu Siyuan unhappy and he blames Chu Ange for causing trouble.

Chu Ange defends her aunt and seems to be stubbornly keeping Maisen for dinner. Maisen explains that he is sincere to the employees, but they insist on opposing him. As for the dignity that Chu Siyuan thinks is important, the cost is too high. Chu Siyuan mocks Maisen for not understanding dignity, but Chu Ange finds it laughable.

She believes that Chu Siyuan appears to be upright, but is actually obsessed with fame and fortune. He abandoned his daughter and left her to be raised by his sister, then took his wife abroad to pursue his dreams, and later promised to bring them back when his career was successful, but ultimately there was no news. So in Chu Ange's eyes, this renowned professor in the industry is just a hypocrite.

After Chu Ange says these words, Chu Siyuan is deeply shocked and faints to the ground. When people see this, they quickly send him to the hospital for emergency treatment. It is at this time that Chu Ange learns that her father has had a stent installed in his heart.

On the other hand, Ding Muyang has to take his son Ding Yao home after Ding Yao was frequently skipping classes and was summoned by the dean. Given Ding Yao's serious misconduct, the school board has decided to only issue him a certificate of study completion after he completes his four-year program.

After receiving the news from Chu Xizi, Ding Muyang has to first take Ding Yao home. The father-son relationship has become tense due to Ding Muyang's remarriage, but Ding Muyang believes he has not wronged his son, and his new wife Chu Xizi has also fulfilled her responsibilities. Now that Ding Yao may not be able to graduate smoothly, Ding Muyang remembers that he had promised his late wife to leave his son a sum of money, so he gives Ding Yao his bank card and tells him to go to the hospital alone.

At this time, Chu Xizi feels guilty, and Ding Muyang comforts her and reminds Chu Ange to go home and rest early. Standing outside, Chu Ange looks at her father who is still unconscious, and her mood is extremely complex. With the establishment of Xuri Technology, the company is facing many challenges, and everything needs to start from scratch.

Jian Dan emphasized to Luo Cheng Yu that funding is the key to the company's development, and Luo Cheng Yu was also troubled by this financial issue and had to seek other strategies.

Browne found Qi Dong Fang because of the mass resignation of employees, demanding government intervention, otherwise he would withdraw all his investments in China. However, Qi Dong Fang remained unmoved, clearly pointing out that this labor dispute had nothing to do with the government, and suggested that Browne should not adopt double standards when dealing with such issues. Although China upholds an open and inclusive policy to protect the legitimate operation of foreign-invested enterprises, it also hopes that enterprises can abide by labor and employment laws.

Therefore, Mason proposed the plan of selling HT China to Browne again, and Helen took the opportunity to invest, becoming the controlling shareholder. Browne met with Helen, and Helen bluntly said that HT China's products failed to be put into production as scheduled, the sales market fluctuated, the market value fell, the core R&D personnel left, and the employee resignation tide continued, causing the shareholders to lose confidence in the holding company.

Now there are only two choices: one is to let MC acquire it, and the other is to let the company become hollow by degrees. Eventually, Browne had no choice but to sell the intellectual property rights and Asia-Pacific market of the Dragon system to the competitor MC.

After the doctor's full resuscitation, Chu Si Yuan finally got out of the danger of life. Luo Cheng Yu saw that Chu An Ge was still in the hospital and was worried that it would affect the teacher's rest, so he tried to get her to leave.

Chu An Ge came to the rooftop alone in the rain, recalling the conversation with her mother, and her heart was filled with the grievances of lacking parental care. Chu Xi Zi found Chu An Ge on the rooftop with an umbrella and actively went forward to comfort her.

Mason is Helen's man, and because of his successful plot, he proposed that Browne punish himself to give the directors an account, but in fact it was a plan to leave the HB company. Before leaving, he told Browne that Chu An Ge is a rare talent, and hoped that Browne could invite Chu An Ge back to manage the company after he left.

Chu An Ge remained in the ward to accompany her father Chu Si Yuan until he woke up. The interaction between the father and daughter in the ward seemed awkward, as they both wanted to care for each other, but they were always out of tune and said one thing but meant another.

In contrast, Luo Cheng Yu led the team to prepare to start from the smart water network project, and handed over this project to Jian Yang in full charge.

Faced with the difficulty of the first round of financing, Luo Cheng Yu focused on R&D work, while Ding Mu Yang considered using his house as collateral. After learning this, Jian Yang went home and pretended to be sick to borrow money from Qi Dong Fang, truthfully telling his father that the company was in the start-up stage and needed his support. In the end, Qi Dong Fang agreed to give Jian Yang the dowry money.
