Negotiator Episode 32 Recap
> Negotiator Recap
After Xia Shanshan was discharged from the hospital, in order to support herself and her child, she concealed her pregnancy and found a job. She happily invited Tong Wei and Xie Xiaofei to dinner. After dinner, Xie Xiaofei and Tong Wei enjoyed their time together, strolling along the street. Tong Wei asked about Xie Xiaofei's recent situation, saying that she knew about him hugging Zhao Chenxi. Xie Xiaofei immediately rushed to explain.
Tong Wei was not angry to begin with, and considering it was his first offense, she forgave him, also taking the opportunity to advise Xie Xiaofei that they should be honest with each other in their future interactions. The two joked and played, and the small misunderstanding between them dissipated. When Xia Shanshan went to her new job, she couldn't help but experience morning sickness in the restroom, and was unluckily seen by her colleague Zhu Zhu.
Xia Shanshan had no choice but to lie, saying her stomach was upset, and also that she didn't have a boyfriend. Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu enthusiastically wanted to introduce a boyfriend to Xia Shanshan. After work, colleagues suggested going to a grilled fish restaurant together. Xia Shanshan couldn't resist her colleagues' warm invitation and agreed to go with them.
At the dinner table, Xia Shanshan couldn't drink alcohol, so a male colleague who had a crush on her helped her decline drinks and even accompanied her to the bus stop. On her way home, Xia Shanshan met Lao Qi. Xia Shanshan addressed him distantly as Mr. Qi. Lao Qi thought that after so much time had passed, Xia Shanshan had forgiven him, but this time Xia Shanshan's breakup was resolute and she wouldn't look back.
She had completely seen through Lao Qi as a businessman and drew a clear line between them. When Xia Shanshan returned home, she saw Qi Ruhai still waiting downstairs. She firmly resisted softening her heart and didn't run downstairs to reconcile with Lao Qi. Tong Wei accompanied Xia Shanshan to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Coincidentally, they met a colleague at the hospital. Xia Shanshan claimed she was accompanying Tong Wei for a prenatal check-up, which dispelled the colleague's suspicions.
Although Tong Wei helped Xia Shanshan this time, she was also worried about Xia Shanshan's situation at the company. But Xia Shanshan was more optimistic. She fantasized about her baby being a girl and felt immensely happy that she, as a mother, could accompany her child through every little bit of life. Although their current situations were very bad for both of them, the best friends encouraged each other to live on diligently.
Xie Xiaotian found Lei Xiong, who was living in seclusion, but couldn't meet him for seven consecutive days. Lei Xiong claimed to be ill and deliberately refused to see Xie Xiaotian. He had also received some news about Tommy Cai at this time and wanted to confirm it before informing Xie Xiaofei and Tong Wei. After learning that the search for Lei Xiong was fruitless, Xie Tiancheng decided to use another method.
He ordered Xie Xiaotian to find Xie Xiaofei and hand him a share transfer agreement. Xie Xiaofei refused without hesitation, stating that he would never care for money obtained through others' charity. Xie Xiaotian, out of helplessness, told him that if he did not sign the agreement, the Xie family would no longer pay for his mother's medical expenses. As soon as Xie Xiaofei heard about his mother, he became agitated and yelled Xie Xiaotian out of the restaurant.
Xie Xiaotian knew that approaching Xie Xiaofei directly was futile, so he turned to Tong Wei instead. Xie Xiaotian gave Tong Wei Xie Xiaofei's bank card, as he couldn't bear to see Xie Xiaofei live such a difficult life. Tong Wei understood Xie Xiaotian's guilt. In his heart, Xie Xiaofei and Xie Tianyou were still the most important people to him.
Tong Wei advised Xie Xiaotian not to make one mistake after another and become an accomplice to evil, turning his family into enemies. A male colleague from the company, Gao Yuan, walked Xia Shanshan home, and coincidentally, Lao Qi saw them. Lao Qi specifically came to tell her that he had arranged an American obstetrician for her, but Xia Shanshan didn't appreciate it at all.
Instead, she pulled Gao Yuan in front of Lao Qi and claimed he was her boyfriend, to make Lao Qi give up and stop bothering her. Although Xia Shanshan once again drove Lao Qi away, when she returned home, thinking about the child in her belly, she still felt a wave of confusion and helplessness. Tong Wei and Xie Xiaofei were walking together. Tong Wei asked about the restaurant's recent situation.
Xie Xiaofei told Tong Wei that the restaurant's business was getting better and better, and this was all because Xie Xiaotian was secretly promoting it. In fact, the two brothers hadn't completely turned against each other; on the contrary, they both cared about each other in their hearts. Xie Xiaofei said that Xie Xiaotian had been more mature and steady than him since childhood, and was more suitable to inherit the large corporation.
However, his father would not allow Xie Xiaotian, who was not blood-related, to inherit the company. But Xie Xiaofei still hoped to help Xie Xiaotian take over the group in the future. Tong Wei was very happy for Xie Xiaofei after hearing his words. She suggested that Xie Xiaofei try to tell Xie Xiaotian these thoughts to improve their brotherhood. The next morning, Xia Shanshan went to work, and her colleagues all greeted her warmly when they saw her.
At this moment, Gao Yuan formally announced to everyone that Xia Shanshan was his girlfriend. Xia Shanshan was eager to explain, but her colleagues were busy cheering and no one listened to her. Gao Yuan also went along with it without offering any explanation.
