Episode 7 recap: Xi Chen Discovers the Revenge Plan
In Episode 7, Zhuo Hui Yun organizes the "Virtuous Gathering" event for the first time, and she puts a lot of thought into it. She even prepares tickets to a K-pop concert to win over the guests. However, her efforts fall flat; while they pretend to be polite, they gossip about her in the bathroom. Even her PR assistant, Mei Qi, shows clear disdain when discussing the situation.
Zhuo Hui Yun appears gentle but has tricks up her sleeve. She deliberately spills paper towels in the restroom, triggering the smoke alarm and causing everyone to suspect someone is smoking. Amid the chaos, she declares her intention to find the "real culprit." Mei Qi instinctively shrinks back, feeling anxious.
However, Zhuo Hui Yun’s plan is a ruse. She digs through Mei Qi's bag, and the evidence is glaringly obvious. Consequently, Zhuo Hui Yun has every right to fire Mei Qi and promptly invites Yu Man Yue from the Song Tian PR team to take over the preparations for the charity gala.
After Yu Man Yue takes charge, she notices that Mrs. Jiang is particularly attentive to the tea served to Jiang Zhe Xian. Every time he returns home, Mrs. Jiang is sure to brew tea for him, even though his health is deteriorating. Meanwhile, Yu Man Yue’s sister, Yu Xi Chen, often visits Jenny's bakery and seems significantly happier. Zhu Bai Zhong and Yu Man Yue frequently accompany her, and during their chats, they mention Jiang Zhe Xian’s upcoming departure.
Once Jiang Zhe Xian leaves, Jiang Ji Jun plans to collaborate with the First Steel Company, which would expose some of the Jiang family's dark secrets. It turns out that Jiang Ji Jun wants to reclaim his commission through Dong Bo and also tap into the funds from Bao Li Construction, but Dong Bo is nothing but a fraud.
To stop Jiang Ji Jun, Zhuo Shi Qi instructs Cheng Feng to get close to him in an attempt to sway him. However, Zhu Bai Zhong and Yu Man Yue are aware that they cannot let Jiang Ji Jun easily gain an advantage, so they plot to make Cheng Feng "late."
Cheng Feng’s tire mysteriously deflates, and Yu Man Yue appears just in time, deliberately choosing a route with heavy traffic. Cheng Feng understands the game being played but does not reveal anything. As a result, the dinner meeting with Jiang Ji Jun is canceled, and Cheng Feng learns about Jiang Zhe Xian's illness through the news, realizing this is another one of Yu Man Yue’s strategies.
Yu Man Yue feels unwell, and Cheng Feng takes her to the hospital, where they meet her two sisters. They mistakenly believe Cheng Feng and Yu Man Yue are in a close relationship, and he enjoys the moment, choosing not to clarify. Yu Man Yue can’t sleep at night without drinking, but for the sake of her family, she holds back.
Cheng Feng secretly buys milk and leaves it at her door, a thoughtful gesture that warms Yu Man Yue’s heart. She suspects that Mrs. Jiang's tea might be tampered with, so she intentionally stains her clothes with tea, asking Zhu Bai Zhong to have it tested. If there is indeed a problem, it could be a powerful weapon against the Jiang family.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhe Xian appears at the board meeting, shocking Zhuo Hao Tian, who immediately realizes the significance of choosing Bao Li's future heir. Upon learning that Bao Li has signed a contract with First Steel, Zhuo Hao Tian instructs Huo Jian Kun to investigate the company’s background.
Meanwhile, Kuang Yong Yuan asks Jiang Ji Jun for a loan but is humiliated in the process, leaving him seething with anger.
