Encounter with You Episode 7 Recap
> Encounter with You Recap
After learning from Qin Gang about Wan Xinxin's busy event plan, Liu Wei obtained the complete proposal by bribing Shi Lei's assistant at Lady Company. Using her position as editor-in-chief of Frontier Magazine, Liu Wei forcefully contacted the agents of celebrities Tong Tong and Ma Youyou, demanding they clear their schedules for exclusive interviews and photoshoots the following day.
The next day at the amusement park, Wan Xinxin had everything prepared: the stage, sound systems, and many excited parents and children were all present. However, Tong Tong and Ma Youyou failed to appear, leaving everyone waiting impatiently. Xu Ke, acting as Wan Xinxin's assistant, tried to boost morale with an inspiring speech about overcoming challenges, but an exasperated staff member urged him to "speak like a normal person."
Xu Ke then threatened to report slackers to get them back to work. Just as the audience grew restless, a sudden thunderstorm erupted. Parents and children scattered in a panic, desperately seeking shelter. Wan Xinxin watched her meticulously planned event descend into chaos, feeling utterly defeated as her efforts seemingly crumbled. In her moment of despair, Hua Ming unexpectedly walked onto the stage and began to play the piano. His beautiful melody captivated the remaining audience.
Soon, a singer joined him, performing a heartfelt song. Xu Ke quickly instructed Wan Xinxin to change into her Snow White costume, reminding her that the show could still be saved. Wan Xinxin took the stage, and her performance helped revitalize the chaotic scene, turning the event into a resounding success. Back home, Wan Xinxin and Xu Ke celebrated the unexpected success, feeling curious about Hua Ming's hidden talents.
They were amazed by his piano skills, the singer's revelation that Hua Ming had once saved his life, and his surprising ability to speak German during the amusement park negotiations. Hua Ming, however, remained elusive, downplaying his abilities and deflecting their questions by humorously claiming to be an "old firework about to burn out" or from a "monkey babysitter academy."
He shared that his piano skills came from practicing with his daughter and that he was moved by the singer's story. Despite their persistent probing, Hua Ming simply said he was tired and retreated, leaving them speculating whether he was an "international spy" or an "alien." Later, in a private moment, Hua Ming reflected on his own painful past, including a medical accident that forced him from his beloved profession, his wife's sudden departure, and his daughter's misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, Shi Lei called Wan Xinxin, delivering shocking news: YouBei, the company they promoted, was suing Lady Company. Shi Lei explained that according to their contract, they were in breach because the celebrities did not appear, and YouBei was demanding substantial compensation that could jeopardize their cash flow. Wan Xinxin protested, arguing that the promotion had achieved its purpose, with YouBei's online sales already tripling.
She clarified that she had not broken any rules or had conflicts of interest with YouBei. Shi Lei, though, emphasized the contractual failure and tasked Wan Xinxin with directly contacting YouBei's CEO Li to understand the true issue. Unbeknownst to Wan Xinxin, Liu Wei had already orchestrated YouBei's lawsuit. After Wan Xinxin's event surprisingly succeeded, a furious Liu Wei used her authority as editor-in-chief of Frontier Magazine to approach CEO Li of YouBei.
She offered Frontier Magazine's extensive promotional support for YouBei's brand, especially for an upcoming international expo, securing full authority over YouBei's promotional rights. Although CEO Li initially expressed satisfaction with Lady Company's event and was hesitant to sue, Liu Wei insisted that "business is business" and even "bad news can increase brand awareness," assuring him she would handle the "minor legal matters." CEO Li, now at ease, departed on his flight, leaving Liu Wei in charge.
Liu Wei then instructed someone to tell Wan Xinxin to meet her at a specific coffee shop. At the coffee shop, Liu Wei bluntly informed Wan Xinxin that she was personally responsible for YouBei's lawsuit against Lady Company. She demanded that Wan Xinxin and her child leave the city, threatening to ruin any company Wan Xinxin might join if she refused. Wan Xinxin accused Liu Wei of being despicable and vindictive, reiterating that she had no interest in Qin Gang.
Liu Wei countered, accusing Wan Xinxin of being shameless, clinging to Qin Gang through her child, and secretly asking him for money. It was then that Wan Xinxin learned her sister, Xu Chunli, had not actually returned the one hundred thousand yuan to Qin Gang. Wan Xinxin left, determined to confront her sister. At Xu Chunli's home, her husband Jiang Kaiyang learned that his entire investment, including the one hundred thousand yuan from Qin Gang, was lost.
As a devastated Xu Chunli blamed him, Jiang Kaiyang was urgently summoned by his director, Director Zheng, over a problem with the investment company, leaving his wife to fear he was in legal trouble. Meanwhile, at the house, Xu Ke argued with Xu Chunli over letting Qin Gang visit the baby, insisting that Wan Xinxin had already agreed.
Wan Xinxin, who had taken a call from Qin Gang about the visit while on her way, arrived to find her sister in a state of despair. Witnessing Xu Chunli's emotional breakdown, Wan Xinxin comforted her and promised to repay the money to Qin Gang herself.
