Episode 7 recap: Zhao Kai Acquires Jingtu Group
In Episode 7, Xu Dao Ming receives a call about an issue with the company's delivery truck. Since he is with Song Qiao at the time, he rushes over. This is also Fang Fang's first time meeting Song Qiao. Previously, she had overheard Zhao Kai mention his ex-wife and even looked her up online, so she was impressed by Song Qiao’s beauty and charm when they finally met.
Thanks to Fang Fang's hard work, all the delivery materials arrive on time without any losses, which makes Zhao Kai very happy. That evening, he visits the store and asks Fang Fang what reward she wants, offering to increase her delivery fee as compensation. Fang Fang, still busy and a bit dirty from the day’s work, is touched when Zhao Kai wipes her face clean. Initially wanting to ask for something extravagant, she settles for a simple dinner invitation.
Zhao Kai happily agrees and invites Fang Fang to the company for dinner. Fang Fang assumes it will be just the two of them, but upon arriving, she finds several other employees there as well, indicating that Zhao Kai had invited others too, showing no special treatment.
Meanwhile, Xing Wen Hao has invested all the company's money in futures trading, only to face devastating losses. Desperate, he comes up with a terrible idea: he walks into the police station and reports his son, Xing Qi Chao, for forging documents. Soon after, Xing Qi Chao is arrested. Xing Wen Hao hopes to shift the public’s attention to his son, unaware that this is a self-destructive move. Unfortunately, his son, who had just followed his father's orders to take documents to the bank, ends up taking the blame for his father's risky decisions.
Upon seeing the news, Zhao Kai quickly realizes that Xing Wen Hao's company is in trouble. He calls his secretary to check the company’s account balance. Shortly afterward, Xing Wen Hao approaches him, reminding Zhao Kai how he had saved Zhao Kai's father and the company multiple times in the past. Now he asks Zhao Kai to help acquire Jingtu Group.
To take on this mess from Xing Wen Hao, Zhao Kai needs 14 billion in funds and may need even more if things don’t go as planned. Since Zhao Kai's father had once received help from Xing Wen Hao, he feels he cannot refuse. However, both Xu Dao Ming and Song Qiao advise against the risky acquisition, warning that if Zhao Kai buys Xing Wen Hao's shares, he could lose his decision-making power. With futures prices continuing to drop, they argue it’s unnecessary to spend so much on an empty shell of a company. Nevertheless, Zhao Kai pushes back against their concerns and finds a way to convince the other board members to support his decision.
Song Qiao questions whether this gamble might jeopardize Zhao Kai’s ability to pay alimony in the future. Zhao Kai reassures her, citing his experience of rising from the depths and not fearing failure. They then discuss their romantic lives, and Song Qiao asks Zhao Kai about his thoughts on Fang Fang. Zhao Kai explains that in the logistics industry, employees like her are truly valuable.
Soon after, Zhao Kai holds a press conference to announce that Generation Logistics will acquire two-thirds of Jingtu Group's shares. The news causes Jingtu’s stock to stop its downward spiral and start to rise, which also boosts Zhao Kai’s stock prices significantly. Meanwhile, Xing Wen Hao raises a champagne glass, his clever expression revealing his delight.
