Created in China Episode 33 Recap
> Created in China Recap
Outside the police station, Qian Hongying told Liu Jun that at first she didn't understand why her younger brother would go all out without leaving himself a way out, but now she finally understood that Liu Jun was his younger brother's fallback and hope. It was also because of Qian Hongying's words that Liu Jun realized Qian Hongming had already made preparations, and he was definitely still in Donghai. Subsequently, Liu Jun brought the police to the villa to investigate.
Suddenly, he received a call from Qian Hongming. Qian Hongming asked Liu Jun to hand the phone to the police and confessed all his crimes to them. However, he had no intention of surrendering and even entertained thoughts of suicide. The police were extremely anxious, hoping Liu Jun could persuade Qian Hongming to reconsider. But no matter how Liu Jun tried to persuade him, Qian Hongming's mind was made up.
He couldn't accept spending the next twenty years in prison, and even less did he want to see himself back at square one. In the end, Liu Jun's attempts to stop him were futile. He bid farewell to Qian Hongming with tears in his eyes. Qian Hongming, on his part, put Shen Jiali's photo in his pocket, leaving behind a will full of deep affection. Soon, the police recovered Qian Hongming's body from the bottom of a nearby lake.
Cui Bingbing applied for bail for Qian Hongying and Shen Jiali, so they could handle Qian Hongming's funeral arrangements. Liu Jun went alone to Qian Hongming's first home, recalling the countless days he spent with Qian Hongming when he first returned to the country. Especially upon seeing Qian Hongming's photo, he sat in a corner and wept bitterly. After Qian Hongying was released on bail, she learned of her brother's death and was overcome with grief.
Shen Jiali, on the other hand, found it difficult to accept for a while. Her mind instantly collapsed, and she was rushed to the hospital. When Liu Jun and Cui Bingbing came to the hospital to visit, they learned that Shen Jiali had fainted again due to Qian Hongying's accusations. However, Shen Jiali's parents were elderly, and her father was in poor health.
Liu Jun heard that the old couple was planning to take their daughter and granddaughter, Xiao Taozi, back to their small hometown county. Considering that the education in the county could not compare to that in big cities, he impulsively proposed to raise Xiao Taozi, completely disregarding Cui Bingbing's feelings. Cui Bingbing angrily reprimanded Liu Jun after returning home.
But as she listened to Liu Jun recount his past with Qian Hongming, she was moved with compassion, and finally agreed to bring Xiao Taozi into their home. After Qian Hongming's funeral arrangements were completed, Qian Hongying returned to the police station, where she would face further investigation and trial. Because Qian Hongming's death and the online posts caused a huge public outcry, the high-ranking officials involved had nowhere to hide and were successively brought down.
However, the calming of this storm did not mean that the economy would improve in the future. A new wave of financial tsunami struck again, and both large and small enterprises faced crises. Even Lu Huadong could not escape. Because homeowners in the first phase had purchased their houses at high prices, the prices of second-phase houses suddenly dropped sharply, causing dissatisfaction among homeowners. They rushed to the sales office to cause trouble. Lu Huadong was distressed.
He sought out Liu Jun to drown his sorrows in alcohol, and incidentally mentioned the financial tsunami, advising Liu Jun to consider layoffs as soon as possible. Liu Jun's thoughts were completely different from Lu Huadong's. He knew that all members of the Tengfei team were backbone elites, and they were all veterans who had worked hard with him until now. He truly did not want to discourage them. In the middle of the night, Lu Huadong was dead drunk.
Cui Bingbing drove to pick up Liu Jun, and at the same time called Chen Qifan. On the way back, Liu Jun thought of Qian Hongming again, saddened that his good brother had lost his life due to this crisis. Looking around, the entire international economy was in collapse. Major companies were like startled birds, scrambling for their own safety. Liu Jun decided to make strategic adjustments to Tengfei.
To cope with the economic crisis, he planned to shift from a technology war to a price war, focusing primarily on sales and advocating for frugality. To raise more funds, Liu Jun specifically mortgaged his car for a loan. Because the economic situation caused big bosses to sell off their cars, the car dealership owner could only offer half price. During this time, Liu Jun saw Qian Hongming's car and learned that he had foreseen today's outcome long ago. He had signed an irrevocable document at that time. In the evening, Cui Bingbing saw her husband looking distraught, and sat beside him to patiently comfort him.
