Begin Again Episode 23 Recap
> Begin Again Recap
The sun rose again, Cai Siyu and Lu Yiyao were disheveled and awkwardly greeted each other. The awkward atmosphere lingered in their hearts until they left the room. When they returned to the company, Cai Siyu and Lu Yiyao stammered as they began to check their memories, but having drunk too much, the two had long forgotten the events of the night. . . Lu Fangning began meeting with investors one by one.
When she returned to the mall, she found Tang Pingping diligently live streaming in her home goods brand store, hoping to boost sales. Looking at Tang Pingping's incessant talking, Fangning felt both helpless and happy. Ling Rui's advisor was about to ask for his final decision, but Ling Rui could only temporarily choose to avoid him. When the advisor went downstairs, he happened to meet Ling Rui's mother.
Hearing from the advisor that Ling Rui had the opportunity to go to Germany for further study, Ling Rui's mother felt both angry and happy. When Ling Rui returned home, she couldn't help but scold him. When asked if he had informed Fangning, Ling Rui only said that he would postpone the interview time to help Fangning get through this difficult time. But Ling Rui's mother still longed for this rare opportunity and hoped Ling Rui wouldn't miss it.
Lu Yiyao found Lu Fangning feeling quite guilty. Fangning told Lu Yiyao about her plan. Now that the investor had been found, the board meeting began as scheduled. Upon hearing Fangning's plan, the directors' objections were incessant. But Fangning explained her purpose word by word, stating that if action wasn't taken quickly, the company's stock price could not withstand another blow. Lu Wenbin and Lu Yiyao spoke up in support at the same time.
At this point, the directors changed their minds, and Fangning's plan was finally approved. Once the news was released, public opinion gradually improved. Lu Fangning and Lu Yiyao nervously awaited the appearance of the signing investor. But as time passed minute by minute, the anxious Lu Fangning personally took the contract to the other company, but still did not see the other party appear. The two who had originally wanted to find another way out were backstabbed.
News of Luming's capital chain issues circulated among investors, and the bank repayment deadline was approaching. Pressure from both ends kept mounting. The board meeting was held again. Director Li stood up and accused Lu Fangning of incompetence, and then brought up the brand new investor he had found: Xinge Investment. A rush of footsteps approached. Lu Fangning widened her eyes, staring at the well-dressed investor representative in front of her.
This figure was clearly the assistant who had accompanied her day and night: Gao Erfan. Realizing something was wrong, Lu Fangning had a private conversation with Gao Erfan. Lu Fangning now realized that Gao Erfan in front of her was the owner of those unfamiliar postcards. Gao Erfan and Lu Yue were in love, but Lu Yue's tragic news left Gao Erfan incredibly heartbroken.
The stubborn Gao Erfan believed that Lu Fangning in front of him was the indirect murderer of his beloved. For his revenge plan, Gao Erfan had endured hardships and lain low for three years, only then waiting for this perfect opportunity. Now, as Luming's largest shareholder, Gao Erfan insisted on using this opportunity to destroy the entire Lu family's hard work.
The exhausted Fangning received the news that the company had decided to stop the Infinite project, and had no choice but to reach out to Ling Rui for help. Ling Rui, who was originally conducting an online interview, quickly abandoned the interview as soon as he received Fangning's message and rushed towards her. Fangning and Ling Rui sat together in the office. Looking at the teary-eyed Fangning in front of him, Ling Rui continuously encouraged her, selflessly offering his warmth.
But upon returning home again, Ling Rui's smile gradually faded. He made a phone call and told the other party word by word: he was formally giving up his overseas study.
