Meeting You Loving You Episode 1 Recap
> Meeting You Loving You Recap
In their student days, Su Zhinian found himself cornered by a group of bullies demanding money. Just as he pondered his next move, a can of soda arced through the air and struck one of the attackers. A spirited female classmate, Song Qingchun, rushed to his aid, fearlessly confronting the bullies.
She declared that she had called school security, confidently claiming she could handle them within two minutes as a tactic, then quickly grabbed Su Zhinian's hand and urged him to run. As they fled, Su Zhinian, who harbored a unique condition granting him superpowers when he touched his nose, subtly used his abilities, causing the pursuing bullies to inexplicably attack each other. However, his powers vanished the moment Song Qingchun's hand made contact with his, leaving him vulnerable and injured.
After they finally escaped, Song Qingchun formally introduced herself. She then offered Su Zhinian a soda, teasing him about his preference for sparkling water given his surname, and playfully asked if he possessed superpowers. Su Zhinian, reflecting on their unique encounter, envisioned a future where they would fall in love and perhaps even marry.
Yet, a part of him acknowledged that life was rarely so perfect, compelling him to make the difficult decision to erase her memory of the incident, telling himself, "I can't let you remember what happened today." Despite his efforts to wipe her memory, a later flash-forward showed Song Qingchun angrily declaring, "Su Zhi Nian, you're disgusting!" foreshadowing the complex and difficult path their relationship would take. From then on, they began an unforgettable romance.
Four years later, at the prestigious Jiangli Annual Media Awards Ceremony, Song Qingchun, now the reputable host of Jiangli TV Station's "Young Chic," found herself reunited with Su Zhinian, the founder and chairman of Geiger Capital. The encounter was fraught with tension; Song Qingchun's past resentment was evident as she subtly rebuffed his attempt to shake her hand, having earlier warned him under her breath, "I told you not to show up before me again."
Despite the awkwardness, she maintained her professionalism throughout the ceremony. Afterward, Song Qingchun's assistant, Nuan, was chided by their director for Song Qingchun's failure to wear the sponsor's necklace. Song Qingchun directly confronted the director about not being informed of Su Zhinian's presence at the ceremony, rejecting his suggestion for a follow-up interview with Su Zhinian. The director, trying to appease Song Qingchun, brought up the necklace again, suggesting she wear it for after-party photos.
Song Qingchun explained that "Young Chic" followed a high-end fashion line, and wearing promotional jewelry could dilute the show's integrity, making it seem like a direct sales program. Nuan supported her, clarifying that Song Qingchun prioritized the show's reputation and viewership. The director, aware of Song Qingchun's influential background as the daughter of Huateng Land's CEO, Song Meng Hua, could do little but concede.
Meanwhile, Su Zhinian's emotional state, triggered by Song Qingchun's coldness, caused his health monitoring watch to register abnormal vital signs. His personal doctor called, warning him about the significant emotional fluctuations that could impact his upcoming surgery plans at the research institute.
The doctor explicitly linked his current state to his "first love," Song Qingchun, and questioned if his return to China and decision to be at the awards ceremony were solely for her, even suggesting he returned to make up for the past. Su Zhinian insisted he had matters under control. Soon after, his assistant informed him of alarming news: Huateng Land's subsidiary, Shenghua Construction, had experienced a collapse at its Pearl Residence construction site, leading to a capital chain rupture.
Moreover, Song Meng Hua had suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital in a coma, his condition critical. His assistant mentioned that Song Meng Hua had attempted to call him several times during the awards ceremony, calls Su Zhinian had missed, suggesting the outcome might have been different had he answered.
Earlier, a director at Geiger Capital had also warned Su Zhinian of internal issues within Huateng Land, advising him to postpone their potential partnership, though also playfully suggesting he simply be frank about his feelings for Song Qingchun. Song Qingchun rushed to the hospital, distraught to find her father in a coma. The doctor informed her that while his life was no longer in critical danger, the severe hemorrhage meant he might not regain consciousness for at least three months.
Zheng Hao, her father's assistant, handed her a doll, explaining it was the last piece needed to complete her collection and her father's birthday gift to her, intensifying her sorrow. Overwhelmed and uncertain, Song Qingchun frantically tried to call someone named "Yi Nan," but her calls went unanswered. Later, Su Zhinian arrived at the hospital with a bowl of noodles, a favorite dish of Song Qingchun's.
However, as he approached her, he overheard her tearfully calling out, "Yi Nan, where are you?" Su Zhinian paused, placed the noodles nearby, and silently departed. Zheng Hao then informed Song Qingchun that her father had designated her to inherit his shares and position at Huateng Land. He cautioned that company shareholders were likely to blame her father for the crisis, making her the scapegoat to face the public.
Zheng Hao also revealed that her father had secretly arranged a capital injection from Geiger Capital as part of a larger strategic transformation, even mortgaging all his personal assets for it. This confidential deal, known only to Song Meng Hua, Su Zhinian, Su Zhinian's assistant, and Zheng Hao, was her father's last hope.
Song Qingchun initially considered finding a professional manager or selling her shares, but Zheng Hao urged her to reconsider, emphasizing that Huateng Land was her father's legacy and that underlying issues suggested it shouldn't be handed over easily. Soon after, a call from Mr. Li summoned her to the company, where a large crowd of protesters and media had gathered, demanding refunds.
Mr. Li, along with other shareholders, pushed the inexperienced Song Qingchun to the forefront to placate the angry crowd. Facing aggressive questions and shouts for immediate repayment, Song Qingchun, deeply apologetic for the company's failures, promised to provide a satisfactory solution within 100 days. Su Zhinian, having seen Song Qingchun's struggle on the news, was deeply concerned but also had to consider Geiger Capital's interests and the most effective way to help her.
He visited her at Huateng Land, formally announcing Geiger Capital's termination of their partnership. Song Qingchun perceived this as him mocking her, believing he was there to witness her downfall. Su Zhinian, however, offered unsolicited advice, stating that no company would entrust its leadership to someone so uninformed, implying that her 100-day promise was unprofessional and would lead to bankruptcy.
He advised her to cash out her shares and return to her old life to care for her father and herself. Defiantly, Song Qingchun declared that her father would awaken in three months, and she refused to let his life's work collapse. She fiercely reiterated her four-year-old vow to have no further dealings with him and that Huateng Land would never partner with Geiger Capital.
Her personal struggles then impacted her career; her live stream faced a barrage of negative comments, leading to its abrupt cancellation by management. Feeling responsible, Song Qingchun apologized to Nuan for the trouble and revealed she was having Zheng Hao sell and mortgage her personal assets to raise funds. She decided to leverage her father's extensive network to seek financial aid. That evening, at a charity gala, Song Qingchun hoped to gain support from her father's old friends.
However, these "uncles" mostly offered polite but empty words, excusing themselves with busy schedules. The only person who approached her was Wan Ya Qi, a jewelry merchant, who attempted to flirt and exploit the situation. Su Zhinian intervened by throwing a glass, pulling Song Qingchun away from Wan Ya Qi.
As they left, Su Zhinian explained that he acted to save her from the "perv" and to prevent others from knowing her hostile relationship with Geiger Capital, which would further isolate Huateng Land. Song Qingchun, annoyed by his intervention, dismissed his help, accusing him of watching her struggles for amusement. She rebuked his "mindless" interference on the balcony, asserting her right to handle her own problems.
As Su Zhinian accompanied Song Qingchun to her rental car, he overheard from the driver that her booked time was almost up. He then followed her in his own vehicle. When her car dropped her off as her rental time expired, two men on motorcycles ambushed her. As they cornered her, Su Zhinian appeared, using his superpower to incapacitate the attackers. However, his power once again failed, and he sustained injuries when Song Qingchun grabbed his arm out of concern.
Out of gratitude for his help, Song Qingchun drove him home. As she was about to leave his apartment, Su Zhinian stopped her. He told her that Geiger Capital was willing to resume the partnership and invest in Huateng Land, promising to help her reorganize the company and find the best medical specialists for her father. But there was one condition: Song Qingchun had to move in with him and serve as his assistant for 100 days. Song Qingchun was utterly stunned by his proposition.
