> Resumos de Dream of Golden Years
Following the high spirits of their recent success, Xia Xiaolan and her friends gather for a celebration. While the atmosphere is lively, Xiaolan remains modest, even declining to sing when the group playfully pressures her. This festive mood carries over into the long-awaited wedding of Chen Xiliang and Teresa Li. The ceremony is a grand affair in the spring of 1991, where the couple makes a glamorous entrance to the cheers of their families and colleagues.
Bai Zhenzhu, looking stunning in an elegant outfit, receives high praise for her sophisticated yet capable appearance. Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng arrive slightly late to the banquet, having spent time securing a special wedding gift. During the toasts, both Chen Xiliang and Teresa Li express their profound gratitude to Xiaolan. They acknowledge that without her foresight in hiring Teresa for the Luna commercials, their paths might never have crossed, and the brand would not have achieved such rapid success.
Xiaolan, ever humble, insists that their happiness and Luna’s growth were products of their own hard work. As a surprise, she presents Chen Xiliang with the keys to a new car for business use and a formal equity transfer agreement. With her focus shifting elsewhere, Xiaolan officially hands over her shares in Luna to him.
Moved by the gesture, Chen Xiliang promises that regardless of his own future status, he will always be ready to help Xiaolan with whatever she needs. As Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng leave the hotel after the wedding, they encounter Ji Ya and her American boyfriend. Ji Ya, appearing bitter, assumes they have come to mock her. The tension escalates when Chen Xiliang rushes out to share the latest industry news: Ji Ya’s brand, Elegance, is being auctioned off.
Its aggressive expansion had outpaced its actual sales, leading the American investor to withdraw his capital. Despite their rivalry, Xiaolan does not gloat. Instead, she offers Ji Ya a candid observation, noting that while Ji Ya is a talented designer, her arrogance and focus on old grudges eventually led to this downfall. Meanwhile, a major business opportunity arises for Yuanhui in the form of the Haihua Hotel, Shengcheng's first five-star international venture.
Since the Hong Kong-based shareholders are locked in a management dispute with the mainland firm, Dongfeng Holdings, the latter is looking for new design proposals to gain leverage. Xiaolan, her uncle Liu Yong, and their designer Gong Yang meet with Mr. Huo, an executive from Dongfeng. Mr. Huo is impressed by Yuanhui’s previous work on a guesthouse and offers them a quarter of the hotel project if their designs are adopted.
However, they soon discover that the original plans were drawn by the legendary reclusive master, Mao Kangshan. Modifying a master's work is a delicate matter; Xiaolan realizes that while Mao is "the master of the south," his rival Ning Yanfan has gained more recent prestige, and any failure on Yuanhui’s part could ruin their reputation in the architecture circle.
In the midst of these professional developments, Zhou Cheng remains preoccupied with his private investigation into the death of his comrade, Shi Kai. He visits the police and meets with a female prosecutor named Jiang Yan, an old classmate from Hushi. Both are determined to uncover the truth behind the "accident" from two years ago, particularly regarding a suspicious temp worker who vanished.
Zhou Cheng’s senior at the law firm, Hao, worries that Zhou Cheng is becoming too emotionally involved and tries to steer him away from the case by sending him on a business trip to Hangcheng. Xiaolan, sensing Zhou Cheng’s stress, decides to accompany him to Hangcheng to help him relax and to pursue her own goal of meeting Mao Kangshan.
Upon arriving in Hangcheng, Xiaolan’s initial attempt to meet Mao Kangshan at the design institute is flatly rejected due to the lack of an appointment. Undeterred, she and Zhou Cheng track him down to the provincial institute’s family quarters. There, they encounter Mao’s daughter-in-law, Zheng Shuqin, who is known for her greed.
Xiaolan learns that Zheng Shuqin forced the elderly Mao to live in a small apartment on the sixth floor so she could occupy the spacious third-floor unit meant for him. Xiaolan does not hold back, calling Zheng Shuqin thick-skinned for mistreating the old man. The commotion draws Mao Kangshan out, and Xiaolan finally secures ten minutes of his time.
She pitches her dream of starting an architectural firm in Shengcheng that would serve as a cradle for the next generation of architects, inviting him to be the pillar of the company. Mao is skeptical of her "big talk," but he is intrigued by her ambition. Back in the city, Bai Zhenzhu and Kang Wei deal with a crisis at Happy Home Materials.
They notice a string of suspicious returns and discover that an employee named Shao has been colluding with a relative to run a fraudulent operation. Shao would fake order cancellations and then produce shoddy, imitation goods at a private factory, selling them under the Happy Home name. Bai Zhenzhu and Kang Wei track them to the factory, where a confrontation turns into a brawl.
Fortunately, Bai Zhenzhu had the foresight to call for backup, and the police arrive just in time to arrest the culprits. While in Hangcheng, Xiaolan revisits a watch shop she once frequented with her parents as a child, finding the same imported clocks that had fascinated her years ago. Later, while walking along the West Lake and discussing the legend of the Leifeng Pagoda, Zhou Cheng proposes to Xiaolan.
He reminds her of their agreement to marry once Luna reached fifty stores. Xiaolan happily accepts, though she asks to wait until she has completely finished the handover of Luna’s business to Chen Xiliang. Before they depart Hangcheng, Mao Kangshan makes a surprising appearance at the airport. Despite his grumbling about the travel procedures, he decides to follow Xiaolan to Shengcheng to see the city's rapid development for himself.
Upon returning to the law firm, Zhou Cheng brings Dingsheng cakes for his colleagues and presents his senior with a breakthrough in his investigation: a report on the missing worker, Wang Qiang.
