> Resúmenes de Her Blaze
After the Boundary Forum, Jiang Dongchao took Rao Yuci to a local noodle shop. While they ate, he noted that the "show" on stage was over, and she returned the presentation materials to him. Rao Yuci admitted the event was a vital lesson; she realized that in her ascent, she had to rely solely on herself. Jiang Dongchao was pleased to see her ambition.
He informed her that since Chen Xi was suspended under investigation, the head position of Investment Department 2 was vacant. He wanted her to prepare to take over both Department 2 and Department 3. When he questioned her relationship with Bai Liangliang, Rao Yuci simply called her a "very good friend." This relationship was rooted in a realization from five years earlier. Back then, Rao Yuci was seen as a genius, while Bai Liangliang secretly plotted against her.
Rao Yuci had shared her dreams with her "friend," hoping they would both get into Professor Han’s graduate program and expressing her desire to date Bai Muran. This period was a turning point. She realized that everything has an A-side and a B-side. The A-side was the beautiful friendship and pure love she believed in, while the B-side consisted of the details she had once overlooked—ambiguous glances and whispered secrets between Bai Liangliang and Bai Muran.
Understanding this hidden reality gave her the power to see the full picture and control those around her. That night, Bai Liangliang received an anonymous Lego box containing a childhood photo of her and her father. On the back, Rao Yuci’s name was written clearly. Panicked, Bai Liangliang called Rao Yuci to demand what she was planning.
Knowing that finding her father was Bai Liangliang's obsession, Rao Yuci offered a deal: if Bai Liangliang made a "satisfactory choice" during the next day’s meeting, she would provide a clue to his whereabouts. The photo sent Bai Liangliang into a spiral of memory. Years earlier, her life had collapsed when she and her mother moved from a villa to a shack.
Her mother’s frequent remarriages and the instability of their lives caused Bai Liangliang to project all her desires for security onto her father. She blamed her mother for the destruction of their family and remained fixated on the only home she ever truly acknowledged—the villa where she once lived with her father. Despite years of searching for the house's original owner, the trail had gone cold. The next morning, Rao Yuci dressed in a professional suit prepared by Jiang Dongchao.
He reminded her that the clothes she wore reflected the person she was becoming and that she now represented the face of Lysen. At the meeting regarding the vacancy in Department 2, Bai Muran self-nominated, citing his success overseas and his ability to lead the acquisition of a green building materials company. Jiang Dongchao, however, favored Rao Yuci. To resolve the tension, Bai Liangliang proposed a vote.
Though Bai Muran expected her support, the results were a landslide: Rao Yuci received three votes while he received only one—from Rao Yuci herself. After the meeting, Bai Muran confronted Bai Liangliang about her betrayal. She coldly explained that openly opposing Jiang Dongchao was a losing battle that would only worsen their standing. Meanwhile, Bai Liangliang contacted Rao Yuci for the promised clue. Rao Yuci revealed that her father had once worked for the Beauty Pearl Society.
This triggered a memory for Bai Liangliang; she recalled Xian Pengyu mentioning that a blogger named Han Congfei had connections to that organization, and she sought his contact information. Rao Yuci later met privately with Han Congfei. She instructed him to stall Bai Liangliang if she came asking about the Beauty Pearl Society, promising to arrange a meeting only when the timing was right.
When Han Congfei expressed suspicion about Chen Mo, the doctor always near her, Rao Yuci sharply warned him not to cross the line or investigate her inner circle. She reminded him that as long as he followed her instructions, she would continue to provide him with high-level intel for his career. Their partnership had begun three years ago.
At the time, Han Congfei was a struggling blogger who had witnessed a mental breakdown where Rao Yuci stabbed her mother and was sent to a treatment center. Rao Yuci had reached out to him from the facility, pinpointing his career frustrations and offering to make him a million-follower finance blogger. She provided him with exclusive, non-public data on Jiang Dongchao, helping him secure a major interview that launched his fame.
Even Jiang Dongchao was impressed by the depth of Han Congfei's articles, unaware of the source. Ren Jing later approached Rao Yuci to gauge her stance on Yu Peidong. Rao Yuci maintained that he would always be a manager she respected, which eased Ren Jing’s concerns. Following this, Ren Jing officially announced that Department 2 and Department 3 would merge under Rao Yuci’s leadership.
During the transition, Rao Yuci warned the staff that she would not tolerate those who intended to coast along. Yu Peidong arrived with Sima Yang and Wang Meng, acting humble and calling himself "Old Yu," but he pointedly ignored Rao Yuci’s attempts to communicate and even removed her from the department's group chat. That evening, the two met secretly for hotpot.
Yu Peidong explained that his hostile behavior in the office was a calculated performance; he knew Jiang Dongchao didn't want Rao Yuci to have any allies. By pretending to be enemies, they protected their partnership. As they discussed business, they noted the strange silence from the Bosi company while Lysen was aggressively acquiring green building materials firms. Rao Yuci mused that even the messiest situations have an underlying logic, though the eventual revelation of the truth might not make Jiang Dongchao very happy.
