Episode 8 recap: Zhao Kai and Xu Daoming Face a Disagreement
In Episode 8, Xing Wen Hao visits his eldest son, Xing Qi Chao, in prison. Xing Qi Chao urgently asks his father when he will help him with his appeal to get out, but Xing Wen Hao advises him to stay calm in prison. He explains that the stock market is booming, and once the company overcomes its crisis, he can return as the successor.
Generational Logistics has finally survived the financial crisis, and with the stock market thriving, Fang Fang’s company has also expanded. Zhao Kai still wants to establish a direct sales model, so he approaches Fang Fang to persuade her to terminate the franchise agreements. However, Fang Fang is resistant to the idea of joining Generational Logistics and becoming subordinate to them.
Zhao Kai calls Fang Fang to the company again to discuss the direct sales model. He analyzes the current national situation and outlines the advantages of direct sales. He proposes to increase the acquisition funds for Zhao Kai and assures her that the original employees will be retained. He even offers Fang Fang a management position, warning that if she firmly refuses, he will unilaterally terminate their agreement.
Fang Fang remains silent. Aware of her capabilities, Zhao Kai asks Xing Wen Hao to help persuade her. Xing Wen Hao feels awkward, as he and Fang Fang have only met a few times in the past two years, and she has always referred to him as "Mr. Xing." Nevertheless, he agrees to try communicating with her.
Fang Fang stands her ground, so Zhao Kai feels compelled to apply pressure. He instructs other transport line employees to stop delivering to Fang Fang's courier point. However, after two or three days without receiving a call from her, Zhao Kai visits her courier point again.
Fang Fang calmly explains her strong refusal to become a direct store under Generational Logistics. She reveals that her mother was once an employee of Xing Wen Hao, and now that Xing Wen Hao is with Generational Logistics, she will never work for him.
Understanding her reasoning, Zhao Kai no longer insists. Fang Fang states her intention to leave Generational Logistics and return to Haitang Town to resume her previous life. After learning the full story, Zhao Kai seeks out Xing Wen Hao and uses his own funds to purchase 2% of Generational Logistics shares from him, insisting that Xing Wen Hao not reveal the investor’s identity. Xing Wen Hao accepts the money and calls Fang Fang, suggesting that becoming a shareholder aligns with her mother’s dream. If Fang Fang accepts, it would fulfill her mother’s aspirations.
