Blossoms Shanghai: A Tale of Friendship, Rivalry, and Success
Ling Zi's Helping Hand
When Ling Zi's best friend, Ling Hong, was struggling to make ends meet, Ling Zi generously paid her two months' rent. However, when Ling Hong presented Ling Zi with a pair of precious pearl earrings, Ling Zi didn't find them appealing. It wasn't until after the successful business deal with Bao Zong that Ling Zi, upset about being kept in the dark, retrieved the pearl earrings and emphasized that money couldn't resolve everything. Thus, to make women happy, the key was to give them gifts.
The Missing Piece: Li Li
In the midst of all this, there was one missing element: a rival in their careers. Li Li, the boss lady of Zhi Zhen Garden, was a formidable character. She had acquired the Phoenix property worth 30 million and now intended to use Bao Zong's name to bring prosperity to Zhi Zhen Garden. However, Bao Zong not only failed to appreciate her efforts but also mocked Zhi Zhen Garden, suggesting it wouldn't last three months.
The Clumsy Approach
In the presence of Bao Zong, Ling Zi always felt somewhat awkward and at a loss. Even though she wanted to leverage their partnership to secure a position for Wang Hong as Deputy Director Wang, on one hand, she appreciated Wang Hong's unwavering support, and on the other hand, Bao Zong desired a place to rest. Li Li's reminder came at the right time.
Imagining the Possibilities
Just imagine, without Li Li's reminder, there would surely be many forks in the road on their collaborative journey. Now, while soothing his son's troubled roots, Bao Zong discreetly arranged for Mr. Xu and secretly invited the popular Fei Xiang to the scene. What was once a deserted shopping mall had transformed into something entirely different.
The Three Women Behind a Man's Success
It seems that a man's success is inseparable from the three women behind him. First, although Ling Zi turned a 2,600 pearl earring into a 26,000 favor for Bao Zong, deep down, she hoped Bao Zong could continue thriving with the help of Miss Wang, the money tree. Second, despite Miss Wang's initial hesitations, Bao Zong's calm demeanor won her over. Moreover, Bao Zong's logic of not discussing matters before they're accomplished made sense, hence both Miss Wang and Deputy Director Wang became Bao Zong's supporters. Third, Li Li now stood in opposition to Bao Zong, but life seemed dull without her. After all, having a rival provided motivation and the opportunity for brilliance. With the support of Ye Shu and these three women, could Bao Zong dominate Shanghai's Huanghe Road?
