Created in China Episode 20 Recap
> Created in China Recap
Cui's father advised Liu Jun to change his pace of life, arrange appropriate rest time, and not always think about work, while Cui Bingbing reminded him not to always lose his temper and scold people. Coincidentally, Liu Jun went to answer a call. Cui's father thought Liu Jun had violent genes. Cui Bingbing quickly explained that he was very good to her.
The next second, however, Liu Jun flew into a rage at an employee on the phone over work matters. After hanging up, seeing Cui's father's gaze, he could only give an awkward smile. Subsequently, Liu Jun decided to take his employees for a spring outing to Miaoling Reservoir, not realizing this was precisely where his mother had lived in the countryside, and also Fu Qiufang's hometown. When he arrived at Miaoling Reservoir, he met Fu Qiufang's student.
Through the student, he learned that she used to be a very good person, which puzzled Liu Jun as to why a teacher beloved by students would become a person without principles. Qian Hongming told Liu Jun that many people who have suffered setbacks and are not in control of their circumstances cannot be strictly required to maintain their principles. Liu Jun realized that Fu Qiufang was a pitiful person. Everyone enjoyed themselves happily at the reservoir.
Cui Bingbing and Shen Jiali were chatting in the pavilion. To Cui Bingbing's surprise, Shen Jiali had given up her beloved photography and recently became engrossed in Buddhist scriptures and tea scriptures. The two had no common topic at all. On the other side, Liu Jun brought up the prenuptial agreement with Qian Hongming. Qian Hongming found it difficult to determine whether Cui Bingbing would accept the agreement.
Shen Jiali liked the local pastoral scenery, but in Qian Hongming's view, the countryside was only dirty, messy, and poor. As a result, they unexpectedly learned that Fu Qiufang had returned from the city to live alone, and suddenly felt uneasy. The law firm sent the drafted "Prenuptial Agreement" to Liu Jun. Just at this time, Liu Jun received a call from Luo Qing and went to meet him in person.
It turned out that Luo Qing had already discussed with his wife and gained her support, deciding to resign from his civil servant job and join Tengfei. Liu Jun greatly admired Luo Qing's wife's understanding and expressed his welcome to Luo Qing. Afterwards, he told Liu Shitang about this matter. Although Liu Shitang had agreed to retire to the second line, he wanted to learn to play stocks, which made Liu Jun tease him for becoming increasingly trendy.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Qifan went to Cui Bingbing's home to borrow her computer to type a document. Cui Bingbing unintentionally discovered the "Prenuptial Agreement" on the computer, and her anger was hard to quell, leading her to confront Liu Jun directly. Liu Jun reiterated that she could propose any conditions, but the prenuptial agreement must exist.
Cui Bingbing felt that Liu Jun was holding back from her, that there was no trust between them, and had a big argument with him. Liu Jun stormed out, sitting alone in his car. Lu Huadong called to ask about the situation. Although he supported the prenuptial agreement, he advised Liu Jun to placate his girlfriend. However, when Liu Jun returned upstairs, he found that Cui Bingbing had already left, leaving only a note.
The two were in a cold war phase. To allow both sides to cool down, Liu Jun did not contact Cui Bingbing. In contrast, Liu Shitang learned about the matter through Qian Hongying, and upon returning home, reminded Liu Jun that he must not concede, and that asset division must be clarified before marriage. Qian Hongming accompanied Liu Jun as he drowned his sorrows in alcohol.
Liu Jun no longer wanted to think about emotional matters and could only divert his energy through work. At the "Donghai No. 1" project seminar, Song Yunhui particularly emphasized that if they did not master high-precision core technologies, they would not have true competitiveness and productivity.
After Liu Jun returned from the seminar, he gathered several veteran backbone employees from the factory and stated that the planned goal for "Donghai No. 1" was to independently develop a complete set of equipment, which also aligned with their Tengfei's fully automatic robots. Luo Qing and others felt the risk was too high, and the problems he considered indeed existed, but Liu Jun was truly unwilling to give up this opportunity.
Chen Qifan and others accompanied Cui Bingbing for dinner, advising her as people who had been through similar experiences. Liu Jun found Lu Huadong and drank with him at a bar, taking the opportunity to inquire about Song Yunhui's project, hoping to get him to invest and join, but he showed no interest at all. After dinner, Cui Bingbing saw Liu Jun's car. Hearing her friends say that this place was a sanctuary for romantic encounters, she felt even more uneasy.
