Love Has Fireworks Episode 7 Recap
> Love Has Fireworks Recaps
During a joint working meeting between Zhizhong Construction and Hejing Securities, Fang Yun delivered a presentation on the rapid expansion of the Shanlifang Hotel Group. She highlighted their impressive footprint of 130 active hotels and over 30,000 rooms across 24 provinces, with another 120 locations projected to open over the next five years. To formalize their partnership, Fang Yun presented a responsibilities allocation agreement to define the working boundaries and liabilities of both firms.
Sensing something was amiss, Li Yifei feigned a sudden stomach ache and excused himself to the restroom, instructing his assistant, Zhao De, to have their legal team review the document later. In the quiet of the restroom stalls, Li Yifei and Zhao De quietly conferred. Li Yifei pointed out the trap hidden within the agreement. If they signed, Zhizhong would bear the sole blame if Shanlifang's financial issues came to light after going public.
Realizing Fang Yun was trying to shield Hejing Securities by shifting the liability, Li Yifei instructed Zhao De to use stalling tactics while he slipped away. Outside the meeting room, Qian Fei eagerly waited for news. When she saw the Zhizhong representatives departing, she approached Fang Yun.
Fang Yun invited her into her office and coolly mentioned that she had utilized some of the data from Qian Fei's report during the presentation, promising to arrange a financial bonus for her hard work. Qian Fei declined the money, explaining that her goal was not a bonus, but reinstatement into the Shanlifang IPO project team to prove her worth to the firm. Fang Yun remained unmoved, bluntly pointing out that Qian Fei's report was comprised entirely of secondhand data.
She asserted that Qian Fei had spent too much time in back-end support and was currently unqualified to join the active project team. Though disheartened by the rejection, Qian Fei refused to give up. When her friend Dang Yu offered a comforting cup of coffee, Qian Fei declared her determination to gather the primary source data herself to win Fang Yun's approval.
Analyzing Fang Yun’s motives, Li Yifei realized she was trying to force Qian Fei into searching for Shanlifang's historical data from three years ago, when the company was still based in Chengdu. To help Qian Fei, Li Yifei decided to travel to Chengdu himself to retrieve the original records. He visited Liao Jinshan and presented him with a limited-edition golf club for his upcoming birthday.
Claiming he was traveling to Chengdu to attend an academic forum where he could build positive momentum for Shanlifang, Li Yifei requested formal authorization to liaise with local business partners. Delighted by the gesture and the initiative, Liao Jinshan readily agreed and promised to provide the necessary authorization along with the partners' contact details. Meanwhile, back in Shanghai, Juncheng endured a family dinner where his mother tried to set him up with a colleague's daughter.
To escape his mother's persistent questions about university degrees and test scores, Juncheng lied that he already had someone in mind, using the excuse of urgent overtime to quickly leave the house. Qian Fei searched online for potential leads in Chengdu. Despite the daunting cost of flights and hotels, she booked her travel, planning to save money by taking a hard-seat train on her return. Upon arriving at the airport, she was surprised to run into Li Yifei.
He playfully offered to sneak her into business class by pretending she was his secretary, but she flatly refused. Once on board, Li Yifei traded his business-class seat to sit next to Qian Fei in economy. He plugged in a USB drive and shared his private project notes from his years in investment banking to help her learn. Grateful for his guidance, Qian Fei studied the material diligently until she drifted off to sleep, resting her head on his shoulder.
In Shanghai, Fang Yun’s assistant informed her that Li Yifei had departed for Chengdu. Fang Yun was pleased, revealing that her seemingly restrictive agreement was a calculated move designed to provoke Li Yifei into digging up Shanlifang's problematic accounts. By letting Zhizhong stir up the hornet's nest, Hejing Securities would avoid offending Liao Jinshan, and if Zhizhong was ultimately disqualified from the deal, Hejing would secure the position of sole underwriter.
Upon arriving in Chengdu, Li Yifei used his authorization from Liao Jinshan to search the records but found nothing useful, realizing that the cunning Liao Jinshan had left no trace. He learned that the entire internal audit team from three years ago had resigned. Undeterred, he asked Zhao De to investigate a former auditor named Xin You. Tracking his target to Taoyuan Village, Li Yifei was guided to a modest home by a helpful resident.
Li Yifei attempted to persuade Xin You to cooperate, arguing that since he had left the company, there was no need to protect their secrets. However, Xin You remained deeply cynical, viewing all investment bankers as self-serving opportunists. He revealed that another persistent woman had already been pestering him since the previous evening. Entering the house, Li Yifei discovered Qian Fei playing video games with Xin You's son, Simba, and another local boy named Aji.
Qian Fei pulled Li Yifei aside, explaining she wanted to secure firsthand data on her own merits. During their visit, Aji accidentally broke an iPad and fled the house in fear of a scolding. Qian Fei quietly explained to Li Yifei that Simba had Asperger's syndrome, a detail she had researched the night before. Li Yifei gently introduced himself to Simba, establishing a warm connection with the young boy.
However, Xin You remained defensive, insisting his son was simply unique rather than ill, and demanded that the visitors leave. Exiled from the house, Li Yifei and Qian Fei set up a tent nearby and shared a meal of instant noodles. Their quiet evening was interrupted when they learned that Aji had not returned from the mountains. Despite Xin You's warnings that they would only get in the way, the two joined the search.
Simba snuck out of the house to help, explaining that Aji was his friend and needed him. Following Simba's lead through the dark terrain, they successfully located Aji shivering beneath a large boulder. Aji's family and the villagers were profoundly grateful for their help in rescuing the boy. Before departing, Li Yifei handed Xin You the contact details and website of a world-renowned autism specialist, urging him to seek proper guidance for Simba's development.
As they began the long drive back along the winding, pitch-black mountain roads, Qian Fei grew anxious about the journey. Sensing her unease, Li Yifei playfully teased her, spinning a spooky ghost story about desolate roads and mysterious figures in white to pass the hours.
