Sunshine of My Life Episode 40 Recap
> Sunshine of My Life Recap
Since Bai Xiaoman took over Haiyao, its performance has not increased but fallen, reaching a point of severe losses. The head of the purchasing department is an old employee who followed Zhu Haitian, and it's impossible for him to embezzle funds at work. However, the problem of returns due to the quality of Haiyao's new clothes has become increasingly serious. Zhu Haitian finally couldn't help but appear in the company, furious.
To his surprise, Bai Xiaoman not only couldn't solve the performance issues but also received a lawyer's letter from Mingyuan. Tang Mingxuan had conclusive evidence proving that Haiyao stole Mingyuan's design drafts. Facing Zhu Haitian's accusations, Bai Xiaoman pushed all the blame onto Shen Jiaxi, claiming that Shen Jiaxi was the thief and that she herself had only bought the design drafts unknowingly.
Shen Jiaxi saw Bai Xiaoman's true colors, but even if she regretted it, she had no way out, after all, it was she herself who had personally stolen the design drafts. Zhu Haitian naturally would not trust Bai Xiaoman. Although he didn't choose to separate from her immediately, his attitude towards her became much tougher. To resolve the current predicament, Zhu Haitian had to personally come to Mingyuan to discuss a solution.
Once Haiyao was sued, his father's self-made enterprise would be ruined. Zhu Haitian proactively suggested that Mingyuan acquire Haiyao and merge into one company, naturally eliminating the issue of plagiarism. Mingyuan's stock market gradually recovered after the new products were launched, but this was not obvious and did not receive timely attention. All of this was Fang Weiguo secretly acquiring Mingyuan's shares. By the time Tang Mingxuan discovered it, Fang Weiguo already held five percent of the shares.
Mingyuan's shares were scattered, and Fang Weiguo was very confident. Unless the Tang and Xia families joined forces, the Tang family would face a crisis. This matter was, in fact, a good thing for the Xia family. After all, no matter who was in charge, it would not have a significant impact on the Xia family. Instead, the Tang and Fang families would try every means to win the Xia family's support.
Xia Zhendong intended to ask for Xia Xueling's opinion, and this matter would inevitably become Xia Xueling's most important opportunity to gain control over Tang Mingxuan. Xia Xueling had clearly let go of Tang Mingxuan and was gradually starting to accept Yan Xu, but this turning point made her see hope again.
Whether to choose to openly stand by Tang Mingxuan and start a new life, or to use this opportunity to control Tang Mingxuan, left Xia Xueling in a temporary dilemma. Mo Fei was about to return to France and needed to complete her assignments before then. Tang Mingxuan took Mo Fei to the ramie planting base to select materials. The beautiful natural scenery attracted them both.
Tang Mingxuan and Mo Fei suggested hiking to relax, but unexpectedly, Mo Fei accidentally twisted her ankle. At this time, Xia Zhendong proactively sought out Tang Qiren. After so many days of observation, Xia Zhendong was surprised that Tang Qiren could remain so calm, so he could only offer help, with the only condition being a marriage alliance between the Tang and Xia families.
Lu Dan was naturally happy to see this happen and saw it as a good time to persuade Tang Mingxuan. However, Tang Mingxuan's decisive refusal infuriated Lu Dan. Since she was young and married to Tang Qiren, Lu Dan had never experienced surprises or romance. More often, she had shouldered the hardships of the family alone and endured the bitterness of undergoing surgery without companionship.
Lu Dan believed that both she and her husband had made sacrifices for the company, so it was only natural for Tang Mingxuan, as the current beneficiary, to also make sacrifices. Tang Qiren only brought up the possibility of a marriage alliance because he couldn't stand Lu Dan's pressure, but he himself was unwilling to force Tang Mingxuan. After all, Fang Qian's example was right before his eyes. However, Lu Dan was tormented by sleepless nights because of this, and she was unwilling to let her son off the hook.
