> Dating in the Kitchen Recap
Gu Shengnan was overjoyed facing her Old Uncle. Lu Jin's overbearing CEO aura was simply too handsome. She imitated Lu Jin's cold and ruthless look, and then screamed as if going crazy. Old Uncle watched from the side, thinking this was a young girl whose eyes were blinded by love. For this, Gu Shengnan officially upgraded herself. She was no longer Gu Shengnan; she was Mrs. Lu, the woman behind that successful man.
Because Mingting Group and Wayne reached a cooperation project on the reconstruction of the Sinan Villa area, Lu Mingting ultimately turned the tide, rescuing Mingting Group, the fruit of his life's work, from danger. All the investments and effort Zheng Hong Group put into acquiring the Mingting project would be in vain. The board meeting was filled with differing opinions; some advised withdrawing funds to stop losses in time, while others were unwilling to see their efforts wasted.
Opinions varied widely, a hundred schools of thought contended. Just as everything was gradually coming back to life as Lu Mingting wished, Wayne Group suddenly terminated the cooperation unilaterally. Mingting Group's hope was dashed right next to despair; after the great ups and downs, it became stagnant again. It turned out that Lu Jin personally visited the younger daughter of Wayne Group.
She and the President's wife were at odds like fire and water, and she directly cut off the cooperation between Wayne Group and Mingting. Lu Jin cut off all of Lu Mingting's retreat routes, forcing Lu Mingting to personally seek Gu Shengnan's intervention. Only then did he have a chance to have a good talk with Lu Jin. The elderly man, leaning on a cane, pleaded with Lu Jin to spare Mingting Group.
After thirty years, this humble request, mixed with coercion and helplessness, finally arrived late, its value and significance as light as a feather. How Lu Mingting abandoned him and Zheng Hong back then, how he left so resolutely and never came back; in his childhood, besides learning to bring honor to his mother, there was no involvement of a father figure. Wasn't it too late to ask for forgiveness now? Zheng Hong Group was determined to acquire Mingting.
Although Lu Jin spoke with conviction when facing Lu Mingting, an unnamed anger ignited in his heart after leaving. At the boxing gym, Lu Jin went wild on the sandbag for an hour, blood seeping through the bandages on his knuckles. Gu Shengnan felt heartbroken seeing this scene and rushed forward to stop him. A lover is the best antidote. Lu Jin embraced and kissed Gu Shengnan.
Their passionate and intense entanglement melted away all their vexation in the haven of tenderness. The next morning, they were still nestled in each other's arms. No one expected that an argument with Lu Jin would completely end Lu Mingting's precarious life. At the funeral, Lu Zheng and his mother, Bai Ju, dressed in black, mourned in grief. Lu Zheng remembered the words Lu Mingting tightly held his hand and instructed him when he was critically ill.
Mingting must not be destroyed; he must protect this group. And in a distant, unseen corner, Lu Jin held a bouquet and an umbrella, his expression solemn. Zheng Hong also quietly placed a bouquet for him. Lu Zheng naively came to see Lu Jin, his intention was obvious without thinking. Let go of Mingting Group, stop acquiring it. But the business world is the business world; it shows no mercy to any emotion.
Only when Lu Zheng can become strong enough to stand on his own can he protect Mingting and show it to Lu Jin. Lu Zheng returned without success, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, he secretly made up his mind. On one hand, Lu Jin was discussing how to acquire Mingting Group, and on the other hand, Lu Zheng began to harbor malicious intentions. The peace between the two brothers completely ceased to exist; this struggle finally surfaced.
Lu Jin was going to Vancouver. Before leaving, he arranged everything for Gu Shengnan. She just needed to work happily and spend money happily. Lu Zheng spent three or four days researching at a car dealership and finally found his old classmate Zhang Yimin, gambling the entire fortune of Mingting on a cooperation project for a Southeast Asian resort. Hearing that Lu Jin went to Vancouver, he utilized Zheng Hong's Vancouver branch to secretly acquire small shareholders of Mingting.
Altogether, the shares amounted to over forty percent in Zheng Hong's hands. If they absorbed more shareholders, Mingting would directly change ownership. Lu Zheng heard this without rushing or panicking, letting them acquire. Gu Shengnan went out to throw away trash and happened to run into Lu Zheng. Facing someone whose father had just passed away, Gu Shengnan couldn't say anything harsh or refuse him. She invited him in and cooked a sumptuous lunch for him. As a result, Lu Zheng was allergic to crab and woke up in the hospital with Gu Shengnan by his side.
