Episode 20 recap: Xing Wenhao Publicly Supports Zhao Kai at the Board Meeting

In Episode 20, Fang Fang's brother, Fang Hong, accidentally scratched someone's car while delivering packages. The driver, however, was relentless; he not only assaulted Fang Hong but also called the police, insisting on suing Shidai Logistics. Zhao Kai, having seen the video of the incident, decided to hand the matter over to Xu Daoming since it involved Fang Fang's brother.

Xu Daoming discovered that the aggressive male driver was the son of a coal tycoon and managed a hot pot restaurant. Given his background, he had plenty of financial resources, which made Xu Daoming feel the situation was complicated. Meanwhile, Xing Qi Rong confidently proclaimed that he had experience dealing with such matters.

Together, they met with the hot pot restaurant owner. Although it was not Shidai Logistics' fault, Xu Daoming proactively apologized and even drank a bowl of spicy chili oil offered by the owner. Impressed by Xu Daoming's toughness, the owner agreed to avoid escalating the issue to court. Outside Shidai Logistics, a swarm of reporters gathered, prompting Xu Daoming to advise Fang Fang to have her brother post a video apology to quickly resolve the incident.

Fang Fang was furious. The driver had struck first, leading to her brother being detained at the police station for an entire night. She insisted on hiring a lawyer herself to fight the case. Xu Daoming urged her to consider the bigger picture; Shidai Logistics was facing troubles on all fronts, and adding fuel to the fire wasn't wise.

Zhao Kai overheard their discussion and stepped outside to tell the reporters that he wouldn't allow any employee of Shidai Logistics to apologize. Instead, he would take the matter to court to ensure justice for his staff. At that moment, Zhao Kai received a video from Song Qiao, which featured the hot pot restaurant owner apologizing. With this, there was no need to go to court.

In secret, Song Qiao had contacted an underground organization to handle the situation. Their people went to the hot pot restaurant, occupying several tables. Realizing they were in the wrong, the restaurant owner quickly recorded a public clarification and apology. However, Song Qiao's health was deteriorating; her brain tumor had recurred, and cancer cells were spreading. The doctor decided to start chemotherapy. One day, while at the hospital for treatment, Song Qiao appeared pale and frequently had unexplained nosebleeds. Her assistant found a capsule name left in her bag, causing her great concern.

As the board of Shidai Logistics was about to vote on whether to let Ding Ning's logistics company join the board, Xing Wenhao unexpectedly showed up. He strongly supported Zhao Kai, warning everyone not to be deceived by Ding Ning. He cautioned that allowing Ding Ning's greedy ambitions into the board could lead to disastrous consequences.

Thanks to Xing Wenhao's persuasion, Ding Ning’s plans were thwarted, resulting in a unanimous vote of 16 to 0 against her proposal. Realizing she could not gain entry into Shidai Logistics through the board, Ding Ning began acquiring more shares. She learned that Song Qiao's company held a significant stake in Shidai Logistics and decided to investigate the board behind Chengfeng Capital, planning to approach them one by one to acquire Chengfeng Capital and become the majority shareholder in Shidai Logistics.

Anticipating that Ding Ning would not back down, Zhao Kai approached Cheng Lu. Knowing that Ding Ning had previously funded her divorce victory, Zhao Kai also discovered that Cheng Lu was preparing to immigrate to Singapore and needed a substantial amount of money for the transition. When she heard that Zhao Kai was willing to provide financial support, she informed him that Ding Ning would be flying to Macau the next day to discuss the acquisition of Chengfeng Capital.
