Hello Mr. Gu Episode 24 Recap
> Hello Mr. Gu Recap
Following the revelation of Zhou Zixuan and Su Youxia's relationship, a furious Zhou Jianqing was determined to confront Zhou Zixuan, convinced he was a "rascal" who was manipulating her best friend. Gu Nanzhou desperately tried to stop her, insisting their relationship was stable and that they had been together for a long time, a fact he claimed to have heard from her brother. Unconvinced, Zhou Jianqing prepared to leave, declaring she couldn't let her best friend walk into a trap.
Panicked, Gu Nanzhou received a text from Zhou Zixuan, who urged him to detain his sister, threatening that if Zhou Jianqing interfered, he would ensure Gu Nanzhou could never be with her. Feeling trapped, Gu Nanzhou feigned a sudden relapse, complaining of immense pressure from Lu Ziming, who was allegedly forcing him to attend a board meeting and threatening to withdraw investment from "Lake Xingling".
Alarmed by his condition, Zhou Jianqing canceled her plans and insisted on accompanying him to psychotherapy the next day, forbidding him from refusing. The following day, Zhou Jianqing maneuvered a reluctant Gu Nanzhou into the car for his therapy appointment. He tried to get out of it by claiming he had work, but she revealed she had already confirmed his free schedule with Jiang Xiaochuan.
A quick text for help to Zhou Zixuan went unanswered, and when Gu Nanzhou tried to use a phone call to his "brother-in-law" as an excuse, Zhou Jianqing called Zhou Zixuan herself, who promptly hung up. As Gu Nanzhou attempted to flee, Zhou Jianqing launched into a dramatic, tearful performance about the "child she lost," which successfully shamed him into complying. At the clinic, the psychologist noted Gu Nanzhou's significant improvement.
The doctor suggested Morita therapy, which encourages patients to accept their current situation and emotions. He explained that Gu Nanzhou's anxiety was psychological and that confronting his deepest fears could lead to a cure, adding that his trust in Zhou Jianqing was crucial, as she could provide comfort and reassurance during this difficult process. Back home, Zhou Jianqing gently encouraged Gu Nanzhou to speak about the past. He painfully recounted the night he and his brother went to see fireworks.
He admitted to wandering off to pick up a Rubik's Cube against his brother's warning, which led to his brother being fatally injured in the ensuing stampede while trying to save him. Gu Nanzhou expressed profound guilt, believing he was responsible for his brother's death. Zhou Jianqing tried to convince him to discard the Rubik's Cube, arguing it was a constant, painful reminder. She emphasized that his family, and his brother, would want him to live happily.
As she argued, she accidentally dropped and broke the cube, revealing her own childhood signature inside. She recalled giving it to him as a child after his brother mentioned it made Gu Nanzhou more confident. Overwhelmed, Zhou Jianqing apologized for the burden the cube had caused. In response, Gu Nanzhou declared that since she was the cause of his condition, she must "take responsibility" by staying by his side, pampering, and loving him exclusively.
Zhou Jianqing playfully agreed, claiming him as "hers exclusively." Later, Zhou Jianqing initiated Morita therapy by taking a fearful Gu Nanzhou to a crowded playground, suggesting they start by interacting with children to ease his anxiety. After equipping him with children's sunglasses and rabbit ear hair clips, they entered the play area, where Gu Nanzhou was playfully challenged by the kids.
Meanwhile, Lu Ziming, viewing "Lake Xingling" as a poor investment, instructed his assistant to encourage other investors to withdraw their funds. Subsequently, Dongcheng, Hanyu, and Lantian Investment, along with the Gu Group, all pulled their funding. Learning that Lu Ziming was actively orchestrating the withdrawals and had called a shareholder meeting, Gu Nanzhou went to confront him.
Lu Ziming challenged Gu Nanzhou to present his case for "Lake Xingling" directly to all shareholders at the upcoming meeting, with their support dependent on his performance. Gu Nanzhou confidently accepted. The night before the meeting, Gu Nanzhou looked at a photo of his late brother, vowing to live a happier life for both of them.
He then sought comfort from Zhou Jianqing, claiming he was too used to sleeping with her to be alone and felt anxious about the meeting. The next morning at the Gu Group, Jiang Jingxuan expressed her concern over the high-stakes presentation, but Gu Nanzhou calmly insisted on handling it himself. Before he entered, Zhou Jianqing gave him a pair of sunglasses, calling them a "secret weapon" to help him "defeat them all."
Inside, Gu Nanzhou presented "Lake Xingling" with renewed confidence, detailing its professional development and high ratings, guaranteeing its quality. His presentation was a success, securing the Gu Group's investment. Afterward, Lu Ziming met with Jiang Jingxuan, acknowledging Gu Nanzhou's strong performance. He explained his opposition wasn't personal but stemmed from caution; having watched Gu Nanzhou grow up, he recognized his intelligence but also his stubbornness, fearing his nephew might overlook risks that could harm both Xingyun and the Gu Group.
Jiang Jingxuan reassured him of Xingyun's internal risk assessment systems. Lu Ziming then abruptly changed the subject, asking why Gu Nanzhou had married Zhou Jianqing. When Jiang Jingxuan dismissed it as a private matter, Lu Ziming countered ominously, "This is not a private matter."
