Beautiful Reborn Flower Episode 39 Recap
> Beautiful Reborn Flower Recap
Nan Sheng anxiously packed her belongings in the dormitory, asking Xiao Xi to request a leave of absence for her due to an emergency. Xiao Xi was confused, so Nan Sheng revealed that the 50,000 RMB from Lin Heping's goods sale was gone. Hesitantly, Xiao Xi confessed that she had accidentally told Luo Chen about Xu Zhen Sheng taking credit for his drawings.
Nan Sheng was furious, but Xiao Xi quickly pleaded for forgiveness, promising to keep quiet from now on. That night, Lin Heping's mother waited anxiously in the yard for him to return late. She regretted ever allowing Nan Sheng's uncle to stay, especially after the money went missing. Lin Heping was worried about Nan Sheng's safety, but his mother scolded him for caring only about Nan Sheng and urged him to call the police.
Lin Heping refused, reminding her that the man was Nan Sheng's uncle and reporting him would embarrass Nan Sheng. He promised to find a way to resolve the debt. Lin Heping then called Nan Sheng's dormitory, where Xiao Xi informed him that Nan Sheng had returned to her hometown to look for her uncle. Hearing this, Lin Heping immediately rushed to the station.
Lin Heping found Nan Sheng at the station, where she was making a memorial tribute to her father. Seeing her in distress, he felt a pang of sympathy. Nan Sheng apologized profusely, feeling responsible for the lost money and regretting that this situation wouldn't have happened if she wasn't around. Lin Heping reassured her that he didn't blame her and that he would solve the problem.
Back at his office, Lin Heping gazed at the "Beacon" painting, lost in thoughts of Nan Sheng. Zhuo Yang arrived and handed in his resignation, explaining that he wished to return to his old profession in film production, which he found more suitable. Lin Heping understood his decision and offered his support if needed.
At a meeting for the company's next season theme, A Li played a recording of Han Sen threatening Li Ping Pavilion if they used "The Beacon" as their artwork, claiming it was an attempt to seduce Qiao Man, his future wife. Director Yan suggested changing the theme to avoid trouble, prioritizing the company's reputation. However, Lin Heping insisted on using the painting, stating they had ownership and that he would use it even if it weren't Qiao Man's.
Feeling frustrated, Lin Heping abruptly declared he was tired and needed a long vacation, then walked out. Director Yan was furious, but A Li tried to calm him, promising to talk to Lin Heping. Later, A Li confronted Lin Heping, admonishing him for his outburst. Lin Heping retorted that A Li shouldn't have played the recording in the first place.
Despite A Li's plea for them to face challenges together, Lin Heping reiterated his need for a long break and left. Qiao Man arrived at Jin Ke's studio as arranged. Jin Ke's personal assistant, Ding Miao Miao, was very assertive, demanding Qiao Man remove her engagement ring because they planned to portray her as a beautiful, single author. Qiao Man reluctantly complied. When she arrived at the set, Jin Ke was in a rage due to script issues.
After the director calmed down, a crew member led Qiao Man to Jin Ke, who unceremoniously told her to rewrite three scenes in a cramped, stuffy room, which Qiao Man referred to as a "small and dark room," with only a fan for ventilation. The crew member reminded her that the whole crew was waiting. Qiao Man, feeling overwhelmed, received a call from Han Sen, to whom she complained about the difficult working conditions.
Han Sen offered to have his company adapt her novel, but Qiao Man had already sold the copyright to Jin Ke and asked Han Sen not to bother her. Meanwhile, Xiao Xi, unwilling to tell Luo Chen about the copyright issue, went with a colleague to Jin Ke's studio, only to find it locked and no one answering the phone. Her colleague left, but Xiao Xi stayed, worried. Luo Chen, having learned of the situation from Xiao Xi's colleague, arrived.
Xiao Xi felt guilty, but Luo Chen reassured her, stating he wasn't angry and would handle the matter, telling her not to worry. Back at the studio, Qiao Man was deep in thought, almost finished with her script. For the final chapter, which required describing the protagonists' first encounter, she found inspiration recalling her own first meeting with Lin Heping in Barcelona.
At the magazine office, Xiao Xi handed Luo Chen the receipt and contract she signed with a man named Ben. Upon seeing that the author was Qiao Man, Luo Chen immediately called Xiao Zhi for confirmation. Xiao Zhi confirmed Qiao Man was indeed the author and that the novel was a hit. After hanging up, Xiao Xi realized Luo Chen knew Qiao Man and thought their problem was solved.
However, Luo Chen revealed that he and Han Sen had fallen out, indicating the situation was more complicated than Xiao Xi assumed, but he assured her he had a plan. An Kailun was furious to learn that Han Sen had used a large sum of company money to buy a painting.
Han Sen adamantly declared his intention to buy "The Beacon" from Lin Heping, explaining that it was Qiao Man's painting, representing a part of her soul, and that Lin Heping using it as a theme was an attempt to win Qiao Man's affection. An Kailun advised Han Sen to be more mature and not let Lin Heping manipulate him, separating personal affairs from business. Han Sen dismissed his uncle's concerns, stating he didn't care about his opinion or support.
An Kailun then threatened to freeze Han Sen's finances to prevent him from taking company money without permission, but Han Sen remained defiant. Zhuo Yang, now working in film, recommended Lin Heping to Director Jin Ke, who was facing a funding shortage for his movie "Evening Date." Lin Heping met with Jin Ke, expressing gratitude for Jin Ke's appreciation of Qiao Man's novel. Jin Ke directly brought up the investment, seeking 10 million RMB.
Lin Heping hesitated but offered to help Jin Ke find other investors. Jin Ke was delighted and suggested calling Qiao Man to join them for dinner. Miao Miao then realized she had forgotten Qiao Man at the set. Jin Ke explained that the set would be locked and lose power, leaving Qiao Man stranded. Lin Heping, concerned, immediately left to pick her up. Meanwhile, Qiao Man excitedly finished her script, only to find the power suddenly cut off.
As she hurried out of the "small dark room" to investigate, she accidentally twisted her ankle. She tried to call for help, but her phone had no signal and was out of battery. Lin Heping rushed to the locked set, found a security guard, and had the gate opened. He found Qiao Man, took her home, and personally massaged her injured ankle. Unbeknownst to them, Han Sen was outside the door and overheard their conversation.
At the magazine office, Luo Chen informed Xiao Xi that the magazine had already signed presale contracts for "Meeting Barcelona" and planned to print the books within two days. Xiao Xi was shocked at the rapid progress, realizing the financial implications were now far greater than the 1 million RMB she was trying to gather, and she panicked. Luo Chen decided that the only course of action was to report the situation to their boss, as hiding it would only lead to worse consequences.
