Negotiator Episode 42 Recap
> Negotiator Recap
After reading the letter, Qin Tianyu rushed to the airport. In fact, Shang Bichen had already seen him from a distance. Before she could answer the phone, Shang Bichen couldn't help but burst into tears. Qin Tianyu called to ask Shang Bichen to stay, hoping to get a chance to repay the love she had given him.
Having blindly pursued Tong Wei for so long, Qin Tianyu finally realized his true love at the moment Shang Bichen was about to leave. Qin Tianyu's every word imprinted itself on Shang Bichen's heart, making her cry non-stop. She, too, couldn't just settle for anyone. Shang Bichen walked out of the airport and saw Qin Tianyu still waiting for her. The two no longer hesitated and embraced each other tightly.
At this moment, at the Xie family's dinner table, Zhao Chenxi was eating with Father and Mother Xie. She said she had already bought a ticket to return home tomorrow, but Xie Xiaofei said he would accompany Zhao Chenxi back in a couple of days. In a few days, the Xie Group would host a banquet in Shanghai under the name of "Eighteen Collections" officially entering China, so Xie Xiaofei would also return to the country then.
Zhao Chenxi asked him somewhat disbelievingly if he knew what this meant. Xie Xiaofei, of course, understood. He embraced Zhao Chenxi, thanking her for her unwavering support during his difficult times, and decided to be with her. Tong Wei returned to CAEA in Shanghai, and the Xie Group also entrusted the banquet reception to CAEA. General Manager Zhou informed Tong Wei about this, but Tong Wei's indifferent attitude surprised him a little.
Standing before General Manager Zhou once again, Tong Wei seemed like a different person, having lost both love and her former fighting spirit. To allow Tong Wei to adjust her state properly, General Manager Zhou assigned Xiao Xiang to follow up on the matter and gave Tong Wei a long holiday. Xie Xiaofei and Zhao Chenxi arrived in Shanghai together.
Zhao Chenxi learned that CAEA was in charge of the evening event, so she worried that Tong Wei would also appear. However, Xiaofei assured her that his relationship with Tong Wei was completely over. The next morning, Xie Xiaofei came to CAEA for a meeting. Xiao Xiang hurried to butter him up, but Xie Xiaofei coldly announced that Tong Wei's vacation was over, and this project had to be handled by Tong Wei.
The next day, when Xie Xiaofei saw Xiao Xiang in the conference room again instead of Tong Wei, he left without a word. Xie Xiaofei, who had returned to China again, was completely changed. The shadow of his former arrogance and assertiveness had entirely vanished. Now, he was taciturn, and his former playful smile was nowhere to be seen. Xie Xiaofei couldn't understand how much Tong Wei hated him.
He recalled the moments they had shared, and unable to control his emotions, he drove directly to Tong Wei's home downstairs. Xie Xiaofei called and forced Tong Wei to come downstairs. The two, reunited once more, immediately engaged in a verbal battle upon meeting. Xie Xiaofei accused Tong Wei of giving up their relationship over a small misunderstanding, but Tong Wei angrily pointed at him and said that the "small misunderstanding" he spoke of involved two living lives.
Because of Xie Xiaofei's repeated obstruction at the time, Tong Wei's return to China was delayed, causing Xia Shanshan to lose her optimal treatment time. Xie Xiaofei was utterly shocked upon hearing this; he never imagined things would be so serious. He hugged Tong Wei, begging for her forgiveness, but this time, Tong Wei pushed him away without hesitation.
Tong Wei stated that she would never forgive him, but the next day, Tong Wei appeared on time in CAEA's conference room. Time seemed to rewind to the scene of their first encounter: the familiar negotiation table, but with completely different states of mind. Halfway through the meeting, everyone prepared for a lunch break.
Qin Tianyu came to the company to find Tong Wei and tell her good news: he and Shang Bichen had decided to get married and wanted to invite Tong Wei to be a bridesmaid. For a long time, Qin Tianyu's unrequited love for Tong Wei had transformed into a peaceful co-existence. He wanted to thank Tong Wei, but he didn't know how to express his myriad of feelings.
Tong Wei understood Tianyu's thoughts; a sincere "thank you" was all she needed. Tong Wei gave Qin Tianyu an embrace full of blessings, but this scene was coincidentally seen by Xie Xiaofei, leading him to mistakenly believe they were in a romantic relationship. Afterwards, Xie Xiaofei interrupted their conversation, urging Tong Wei to return to the meeting. Tong Wei mentioned that Xie Xiaofei's speech at the evening event was very important.
Xie Xiaofei, who had been silent, suddenly interjected, saying he would announce his engagement to Zhao Chenxi at the event. Upon hearing this, Tong Wei forced out a smile, congratulated Xie Xiaofei, and very politely said that they would do their utmost to complete the work. After work, Xie Xiaofei stopped Tong Wei downstairs at the company, forced her into his car, and took her to a bridal shop.
Zhao Chenxi was trying on wedding dresses in the shop and was also surprised to see Tong Wei. Xie Xiaofei felt indignant; he couldn't stand Tong Wei's indifferent reaction to seeing him about to marry another woman. He loudly questioned Tong Wei if she loved him or not, but Tong Wei, though her eyes were red, did not answer. Zhao Chenxi, having finished trying on her dress, ran out and interrupted their conversation.
Afterwards, a sales assistant asked Zhao Chenxi to write down an address, but the pen Zhao Chenxi pulled from her bag was a relic of Tong Wei's father. This action clearly provoked Tong Wei. Upon seeing it, she left immediately. Xie Xiaofei hurried after her, wanting to explain, but Tong Wei ignored him.
She simply told Xie Xiaofei with a cold face to find an opportunity to return the pen to her, adding that her father's relic was an inauspicious symbol for a wedding. Cui Xi was furious because Xie Xiaofei was targeting Tong Wei everywhere, so she found Qin Tianyu and Shang Bichen, hoping they could help. Qin Tianyu decided to proactively find Xie Xiaofei after hearing this.
He said he was getting married, but Xie Xiaofei, full of resentment, offered no blessings. However, Qin Tianyu smiled and said the bride was Shang Bichen. This news completely surprised Xie Xiaofei. He then asked about the house matter again, and Qin Tianyu showed him an IOU, which completely dispelled his doubts. Qin Tianyu explained all the misunderstandings. Xie Xiaofei told him about the series of messy events between him and Tong Wei.
Qin Tianyu advised Xiaofei to quickly explain things to Tong Wei and not give up easily. Xie Xiaofei didn't understand why his former love rival would help him, but now that Qin Tianyu had Shang Bichen, he understood how hard-won happiness was, and he hoped Xiaofei could also seize the opportunity. As night fell, Xie Xiaofei waited for Tong Wei at the Hao Ke restaurant, but everything had changed. This time, Xie Xiaofei sincerely came to apologize to Tong Wei.
He explained what he had experienced in the United States and the news of his mother's death, hoping to go back to the past with Tong Wei. However, for Tong Wei, they were no longer who they used to be. Not only had changed circumstances intensified various conflicts, but family reasons also put them in different positions. Tong Wei refused Xie Xiaofei's embrace; she wanted to let the past remain in the past.
