Created in China Episode 29 Recap
> Created in China Recap
Shen Jiali once again gave Liu Jun money to deposit in the bank. Considering Shen Jiali's poor mood and her child staying at home with her for a long time, Liu Jun brought the child to his home to spend time with his daughter Paopao. Qian Hongming still invested funds with a gambler's mentality, but the bank loan was never approved. Having no other choice, he could only ask Liu Jun for help borrowing six million.
Liu Jun stated that Tengfei had no cash due to expanding its heat treatment center, but he could help Qian Hongming open a three-month letter of credit, temporarily easing Qian Hongming's urgent need. Meanwhile, Qian Hongying called Shen Jiali but received no answer, worrying about her sister-in-law's mental state. Liu Shitang continued to watch the stock market trends, firmly believing it would rebound sooner or later.
However, Qian Hongying was very familiar with the real estate market, and the continuous decline in property prices would inevitably affect the stock market; the situation was not as optimistic as he imagined. At this moment, Qian Hongming returned home to find neither his wife nor daughter. Shen Jiali, suffering from psychological illness due to excessive stress, went to the supermarket alone. Seeing a hairpin, she remembered the one her husband bought for her years ago.
In a momentary oversight, she forgot to pay and was mistaken for a thief by the supermarket. Upon receiving the news, Liu Jun immediately went to the police station to bail her out, repeatedly emphasizing her innocence. Shen Jiali sat in the car, emotionally breaking down and crying, which made Liu Jun feel uneasy. He patiently comforted her. In the winter of 2007, the stock market fell for over a month.
Liu Shitang was deeply worried about the stock market and decided to liquidate his positions immediately after this rebound. However, Qian Hongming remained optimistic about the economic situation. He invested a large sum of money in building construction and took high risks by holding shares on behalf of several clients. Qian Hongying knew that her younger brother had resorted to private lending, feeling the risk was too high, and urged him to stop.
Qian Hongming, however, stated that he was too poor in the past, so he had to firmly grasp any opportunity and could never return to those old days. While playing ball with Lu Huadong, Liu Jun couldn't help but complain about his father's obsession with the stock market. Lu Huadong, however, understood and handed him an evaluation report for reference. Qian Hongming suddenly called, stating that his funding issues were resolved.
Liu Jun still felt something was amiss, but seeing Qian Hongming's objective demeanor, he stopped digging deeper. That evening, Liu Jun tried to sort out his thoughts at home, attempting to deduce economic trends, but he had no clue. Cui Bingbing told Liu Jun that no matter where the economy was headed, he had to manage the factory according to the present reality; there was no advanced choice to advance or retreat.
Liu Jun understood Cui Bingbing's meaning, but his own feelings stemmed more from a lack of confidence. Ever since the expansion of the center, he had always been on edge, full of anxiety all day. Cui Bingbing lightened the mood and encouraged Liu Jun. Time moved to 2008. Wei Jie, a former colleague, proactively sought out Qian Hongying. Hearing that Qian Hongying was raising funds for high-interest loans, Wei Jie became interested and invested 700,000 yuan from her family.
After liquidating his positions, Liu Shitang felt physically and mentally pleased. Qian Hongying asked Liu Shitang to invest in her younger brother's project, but he refused. To get rid of trouble, Liu Shitang anxiously rushed to find Liu Jun, wanting him to give advice on how to quickly spend the five million yuan he had.
Liu Jun casually mentioned buying a house, unexpectedly Liu Shitang took it seriously and spent four million yuan in full to buy a luxury mansion, personally taking Liu Jun and Cui Bingbing on a tour. In contrast, Qian Hongying sulked because Liu Shitang refused to lend money.
Qian Hongming reminded Qian Hongying not to have any hope for Liu Shitang; he was merely at an age where he was embarrassed to seek out young girls but also looked down on older women his age, which was why he chose Qian Hongying, and he had no so-called genuine feelings for her.
Liu Shitang revealed to Liu Jun that Qian Hongying hadn't spoken to him for a week, the reason being that he didn't trust Qian Hongming's project and did not want to be financially involved with him.
