> South Wind Knows Recap
Bai Xining was still explaining her work to everyone, and the judges in the audience nodded in approval. Each of the five judges had given a point to every team so far, apart from their personal favorite. In the end, Bai Xining's team emerged victorious. Shining Jewelry secured third place and withdrew from the third round. Cong Fei saw Bai Xining's victory and was even happier than if he had won himself. The theme for the third round was "Pure." Now, Bai Xining had to start preparing for the next round.
Li Zhuoran, as an afterthought, came over to congratulate Bai Xining after she won. Lin Yi had originally secured an investment deal with Shengdi Investment a month ago but was suddenly informed of its cancellation. Lin Yi quickly went to Shengdi Company to inquire about the situation and was accompanied by Meng Xiaoxiao. Hu Zong, who appreciated Bai Xining, also praised Meng Xiaoxiao's public relations skills. They were optimistic about them and mentioned an upcoming press conference.
Colleagues in the studio were anxious at this point, as they were worried about possible layoffs. After all, the company had not provided a clear explanation yet. Ye Xiaoqing began to worry about her future. Soon, Hu Zong's media company held a signing ceremony with Bai Xining at the studio. They announced that they would use the jewelry designed by Bai Xining for their future events and photo shoots. A reporter asked Bai Xining about her views on the studio's current situation, and her response was considerate of Dongchen's interests.
Nowadays, many companies wanted to collaborate with Bai Xining's studio, and the number of orders was increasing. Li Mingkang came to inform Bai Xining that Li Zhuoran, upon learning of these developments, was planning to quietly raise prices afterward. Bai Xining asked Li Mingkang to keep this information confidential and not let their colleagues know.
Bai Xining went to find Lin Yi. She was starting to trust Lin Yi more, even though he never explicitly said anything. Through these events, he indirectly conveyed some insights to Bai Xining. Soon, it was time for the third-round competition. Lin Yi's team presented their design first, while Bai Xining was still preparing. At this moment, Lin Zhe called Bai Xining to inform her that he had cracked the password and confirmed that Li Zhuoran indeed intended to use Bai Xining's studio for money laundering. Lin Zhe then sent all the related information to Bai Xining.
Bai Xining was very angry upon seeing this and realized that Li Zhuoran had been using her for various purposes, even engaging in illegal activities. After calming down, Bai Xining showcased her work. Surprisingly, both of the works received the same score from the judges. They asked the judges to make a choice, and the first judge chose Lin Yi's team, while the second judge chose Bai Xining's team. Just as Bai Xining and the model were bowing, the model's necklace suddenly fell off, raising doubts about the quality of the necklace. So, all the judges voted for Lin Yi, and Li Zhuoran was very angry and left.
Bai Xining had intentionally let Lin Yi win, not wanting to fall into Li Zhuoran's scheme. However, companies seeking to terminate contracts with her studio started to pour in, and Hu Zong was very upset about the situation. Although Bai Xining received a scolding from Li Zhuoran, she still emerged victorious because she wasn't used by him this time.
Meng Xiaoxiao invited Bai Xining for coffee and knew that Bai Xining intentionally lost the competition. Meng Xiaoxiao offered to keep this secret but asked for Bai Xining's help when needed. Bai Xining agreed as long as it didn't harm Dongchen's interests, and they reached an agreement. Bai Xining and Lin Yi went out for dinner to celebrate. Lin Yi also knew that Bai Xining had deliberately lost the competition. During their conversation, Bai Xining drank quite a bit and mentioned Li Zhuoran's plan to launder money through her studio. While pouring another drink, Bai Xining accidentally revealed the ring necklace on her chest, and Lin Yi immediately recognized it as Tang Wanrong's ring, realizing that she was Tang Wanrong's daughter.
