A Better Life Episode 27 Recap
> A Better Life Recap
Seven years ago, Hu Manli bought a three million yuan investment-linked policy for client Ma Yong. Ma Yong was on a business trip by plane at the time, so he asked Hu Manli to write the risk disclosure on his behalf. After Ma Yong's business failed, he wanted to withdraw the money, but only tens of thousands of yuan were left. In a fit of anger, Ma Yong sued Nanyang Insurance Company in court.
The company did not want to bear this loss and instructed Hu Manli to pay compensation personally, giving her only ten days. Hu Manli couldn't gather such a large sum of money in a short time. The court not only froze her bank cards but also sealed her house. Hu Manli couldn't stand it and went to plead with General Manager Jin. General Manager Jin tried his best to advocate for Hu Manli.
Hu Manli had previously been arrogant towards colleagues and superiors, relying on her status as a star salesperson, and had offended many people. Many departments impeached her, and the company only agreed to bear ten percent of the compensation. Hu Manli had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
General Manager Jin's secretary caught up with Hu Manli and revealed something to her: General Manager Jin had worked hard at the headquarters to speak well of Hu Manli and even threatened to resign to protect her. Hu Manli was deeply moved. She returned to thank General Manager Jin. Hu Manli vowed that she would never be defeated by the current difficulties and would repay General Manager Jin's kindness when she made a comeback.
Xue Xiaozhou took meticulous care of Hu Degong. Ding Daer saw the seal on the door at home and guessed that Hu Manli had encountered an insurmountable obstacle. He asked Xue Xiaozhou to help Hu Manli, and Xue Xiaozhou readily agreed. Hu Manli wanted to tear off the seal posted by the court. Xue Xiaozhou advised her not to do anything illegal and promised to face it with her.
Ding Daer did not want to burden Hu Manli and voluntarily suggested moving to Ding Zhiyuan's house to alleviate Hu Manli's stress. Hu Manli was reluctant to part with Ding Daer and also worried that Ding Daer would be wronged staying with Ding Zhiyuan. However, she also had to take care of Hu Degong, who was recovering from a serious illness, and did not want to affect Ding Daer's studies and life. Ding Zhiyuan drove to pick up Ding Daer.
Hu Manli walked him downstairs and gave him countless instructions. The mother and son tearfully said goodbye. Xue Xiaozhou wanted to wait for Qiu Lisu to give him the three million yuan for acquiring the shares, and then use it to help Hu Manli repay the money. Hu Manli didn't want to evade any longer; she wanted to negotiate with the company to sell the house to pay the debt. Ding Daer remained silent in the car, continuously shedding tears.
Ding Zhiyuan asked him and only then learned about Hu Manli's plight. He went home and discussed with Qiu Lisu about letting Ding Daer stay there for a while. Qiu Lisu was reluctant but didn't want to make things difficult for Ding Zhiyuan, so she reluctantly agreed. Li Qingqing asked Xue Xiaozhou to secure Li Fendou as a major client. Xue Xiaozhou seized the opportunity to propose forming his own team, and Li Qingqing gladly agreed.
A real estate agent quickly found a buyer, but the buyer's offer was too low. Xue Xiaozhou bargained, and the buyer only agreed to add twenty thousand yuan for the furniture. Hu Manli wanted to pay off her external debts as soon as possible. She painfully sold both the house and the furniture. Xue Xiaozhou invited Hu Manli to join his team. Hu Manli did not want to accept Xue Xiaozhou's sympathy and pity.
She also had to take care of Hu Degong and worried that she would not be competent for the work in the family office. Xue Xiaozhou advised her not to give up the career she loved and suggested she could send Hu Degong to a nursing home, which Hu Manli found feasible. Xue Xiaozhou accompanied Hu Manli to find a nursing home, and the nursing home's conditions in all aspects were very good.
A Dong came to this nursing home to take care of Zhou Shufang. He recognized Hu Manli at a glance. Only then did Hu Manli learn that Zhou Shufang had Alzheimer's disease. Thanks to the "Chang Xiang Ban" insurance Hu Manli bought for Zhou Shufang, which included nursing home services, A Dong sent Zhou Shufang to the nursing home. Zhou Shufang looked closely for a long time before recognizing Hu Manli.
She knitted a pair of gloves for Hu Manli every year and gave Hu Manli the pair she had just knitted. A Dong gave a detailed introduction to the nursing home's situation. Hu Manli decided to send her father, Hu Degong, there. She went home and discussed it with her father. Xue Xiaozhou promised to take time to visit Hu Degong at the nursing home, and Hu Degong readily agreed.
There was an empty room in the apartment Xue Xiaozhou rented, where the landlord had stored some miscellaneous items. With the landlord's consent, Xue Xiaozhou cleared out the large room for Hu Manli to move into. Hu Manli packed her luggage and accidentally scattered her medals and trophies on the floor. Hu Manli immediately decided to throw these away and start a new life.
Xue Xiaozhou picked up Hu Manli and took her to the rental apartment, claiming it was company-arranged employee housing. Hu Manli wanted to bring Ding Daer to live with her, but there were only two rooms. Xue Xiaozhou decided to use a bunk bed. Only then did Hu Manli realize it was Xue Xiaozhou's rented apartment. She felt it was inconvenient. Xue Xiaozhou clearly stated that they were co-renting and that he would still tutor Ding Daer as before. Since Hu Manli couldn't find a suitable place to live temporarily, she had to agree to stay.
