Episode 18 recap: Ou Yang Zi Xia Advises Li Dong Sheng to Separate
In episode 18, Jin Wen opened a cell phone store in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei market, but the business was struggling a bit due to Ni Zhi Xiong's monopoly. However, Jin Wen was a sharp-minded person. When she heard that Li Dong Sheng was working on cell phone chips, she saw an opportunity and proactively reached out to him.
She told Li Dong Sheng that they could collaborate - she would provide the market channels, and he would supply the chips. She was confident the business would be a success. Li Dong Sheng thought the idea was great, and the two started discussing the details. Jin Wen was cozying up to Li Dong Sheng, but Huang Lin Xi, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it. He directly told Li Dong Sheng that he had a girlfriend, Ou Yang Zi Xia.
To win over Li Dong Sheng, Jin Wen took them all out to dinner. During the meal, she enthusiastically discussed the promising future of electronic products, predicting that phones would become increasingly affordable, perhaps costing only $20-$30 in the future. She also suggested that Li Dong Sheng combine integrated circuits, chips, and players to develop more competitive phones. Li Dong Sheng was very impressed, thinking it was a brilliant idea.
One night, when Huang Lin Xi returned to the hotel late, Ou Yang Zi Xia suddenly called to ask where Li Dong Sheng was. Huang Lin Xi didn't know, so he told her the truth. At that moment, Li Dong Sheng and Jin Wen were engrossed in their conversation, like kindred spirits who had found each other. Ultimately, Li Dong Sheng saw Jin Wen back home before leaving.
Concerned that Jin Wen had bewitched Li Dong Sheng, Huang Lin Xi quickly called Zhang Hai Chao to inform him. Zhang Hai Chao also thought Jin Wen's idea had potential, so he called Li Dong Sheng to discuss developing a new phone chip within six months. Li Dong Sheng was full of praise for Jin Wen, which only increased Huang Lin Xi's worry that Li Dong Sheng might betray Ou Yang Zi Xia. But Li Dong Sheng didn't seem to care, leaving Huang Lin Xi feeling helpless.
After returning from a business trip, the relationship between Huang Lin Xi and Li Dong Sheng became a bit awkward. Zhang Hai Chao noticed something was wrong, and Huang Lin Xi told him about Jin Wen captivating Li Dong Sheng.
Zhang Hai Chao analyzed the situation for Li Dong Sheng and advised him to consider it carefully.
Ou Yang Zi Xia also came to see Li Dong Sheng. She is a partner at Hongmu Capital and told Li Dong Sheng that she wants to invest in his internet company, but the condition is that Li Dong Sheng must separate from Lingong.
Li Dong Sheng was a bit reluctant, but Ou Yang Zi Xia was resolute. The pressure from President Ouyang was also significant, and he forced Ou Yang Zi Xia and Li Dong Sheng to get married as soon as possible. Although Ou Yang Zi Xia felt bad for Zhang Hai Chao and Huang Lin Xi, she agreed under the pressure from her father.
Ou Yang Zi Xia found Lin Guang Yao and introduced Li Dong Sheng's project to him. Lin Guang Yao decided to invest immediately upon hearing about it. Ou Yang Zi Xia again persuaded Li Dong Sheng to separate from Lingong, and although Li Dong Sheng was unwilling, he ultimately agreed.
However, he promised that if his own company took off, he would still help Zhang Hai Chao.
The news of Li Dong Sheng's separation spread quickly, and Liu Han and Zhang Hai Chao were both very concerned. But Zhang Hai Chao believed that Li Dong Sheng would not betray him and continued to focus on chip development.
Huang Lin Xi was worried that Li Dong Sheng would not be able to withstand the pressure and make the wrong decision. After speaking with Ou Yang Zi Xia to understand the situation, she learned that Li Dong Sheng had not yet made up his mind. Zhang Hai Chao was also unsure, and when he went for a walk in the evening, he happened to encounter Li Dong Sheng drinking on the side of the road. The two discussed the separation issue.
Zhang Hai Chao advised Li Dong Sheng to think it through carefully before making a decision.
