Zhou Ma decides to return to their hometown early. She knows a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor and wants to seek his help to improve Xie Linhui’s health. Due to the conference, Xie Linhui couldn’t personally see her mother-in-law off, so Zhou Hang went alone. On the way, Zhou Ma reminded Zhou Hang to treat Xie Linhui well. She emphasized that Xie Linhui is still young and has the opportunity to become a mother. Zhou Ma mentioned how difficult Xie Linhui had it during IVF treatments and advised Zhou Hang not to rush regarding the child. Zhou Hang assured her that he would treat Xie Linhui properly.
Jiang Yidi submitted her resume to Yuanshen Dongfang and received an interview invitation. This time, the interview was conducted by Xiao, the Vice President of Finance. Xiao’s intention for the interview was very clear—not to hire her, but to undermine her. Jiang Yidi was certain she would never accept a position from someone trying to sabotage her, and she found it odd that she managed to get an interview at a company that had previously treated her poorly.
The interview was destined to fail, leaving Jiang Yidi feeling very disappointed. Unexpectedly, she encountered Yu Shi there. Yu Shi was there to discuss matters with Director Liang, and they were old acquaintances. Previously, Yu Shi had helped Zhou Hao with his studies abroad, even writing a recommendation letter. Therefore, despite the issues with Huake Yuanjian, Director Liang did not blame Yu Shi, as from a professional standpoint, Yu Shi was indeed a competent investor.
There were already many negative rumors about Yuanshen Dongfang online, all orchestrated by Wu Yueting. He had incited a group of workers to cause trouble, blocking the entrance of Huake Yuanjian’s company. He even hired security guards for this purpose. Chen Yan informed Jiang Yidi and Xie Linhui about the situation. Upon receiving the news, Jiang Yidi managed to escape with Yu Shi to Huake Yuanjian, while Xie Linhui rushed directly from the conference venue to Huake Yuanjian. Zhou Hang received the information from Director Liang, revealing that all of this had been planned in advance. Zhou Hang immediately led his team to address the situation.
Jiang Yidi attempted to calm the workers but found that they were unresponsive. Eventually, Zhou Hang arranged for his assistant to lead people to resolve the issue. Zhou Hang handled the employees properly and promised them compensation. Meanwhile, Wu Yueting was inside the company, surrounding Chen Yan and forcing her to sign over the intellectual property rights. The engineers around him had been bribed and were supporting his demands. Chen Yan waited until Zhou Hang arrived. As Zhou Hang sat down, Xie Linhui also arrived. Zhou Hang presented the supplementary agreement he had previously signed with Zhang Hongda, which had already pledged the intellectual property rights, meaning Wu Yueting had no right to purchase them. Wu Yueting was defeated and angrily left the scene.
Before Xie Linhui entered, she heard Wu Yueting’s remarks. Wu Yueting believed that everything was part of Zhou Hang’s plan and that he was actually the one who most wanted Zhang Hongda dead. Zhou Hang remained silent, and Xie Linhui walked in. She asked Zhou Hang to wait in the car and then spoke a few words with Chen Yan. It was then that she realized this was a staged act between Zhou Hang and Chen Yan. Zhou Hang had long been in contact with Chen Yan, and knowing about the contract, Chen Yan agreed to cooperate because she had received a three-million-yuan check. Now that she had handled the matter, she planned to leave the city with her child, wanting no further ties to anything here. She only hoped that Xie Linhui could restore Zhang Hongda’s good name. Although Wu Yueting was the main culprit behind Zhang Hongda’s demise, everyone involved here had their hands stained by Zhang Hongda’s downfall.
