> Resumos de Dream of Golden Years
The discovery of gold at the construction site spreads like wildfire, drawing both the police and television reporters to the scene. As Xia Xiaolan is interviewed, the local villagers rush the site, desperate to claim a share of the wealth. Among them is the father of the village chief, who becomes so hysterical claiming the gold belongs to the Luo family that he collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Despite the chaos, the publicity serves Xia Xiaolan’s true purpose.
Although the news reports that 627 grams of gold were recovered, Xiaolan secretly knows she had buried exactly one kilogram in the pit. The discrepancy confirms that some of the gold was stolen by those on-site, but the loss is a small price to pay for the reputation her project has gained. To the public and potential investors, the Golden Sands Pool is now seen as a legendary, auspicious "treasure land."
The news reaches the American developers of the neighboring golf course and resort, who are furious at themselves for missing out on such a valuable plot. Real estate companies begin flooding Xiaolan’s office with offers, with the highest bid coming from Wilson of the American Wilson Group. While the industry is in a frenzy, Xia Ziyu correctly suspects that the gold was a calculated stunt planted by Xiaolan herself. Xiaolan agrees to meet with Wilson to discuss a potential sale.
During their meeting, Wilson tries to use the proximity of his resort as leverage to buy the land at a bargain, but Xiaolan remains sharp and witty, refusing to be intimidated. The negotiation is suddenly interrupted by Du Zhaohui, who makes a grand entrance and ostentatiously bids 18 million dollars for the site. Insulted by this aggressive price-gouging, Wilson storms out of the meeting.
After Wilson leaves, Du Zhaohui admits his arrival was a staged performance to help Xiaolan drive up the valuation. He realizes her true intention is not to sell the land, but to use the inflated market value to secure a massive loan from the bank. Beyond business, Du Zhaohui provides a crucial lead on the Yu family antiques. He has traced the blue-and-white porcelain to a mysterious dealer in Gangdao known as Mr. Qiu.
With the site’s value verified by the high competitive bids, Xiaolan successfully secures a 15-million-dollar loan from the bank. While she celebrates the victory with her team, Du Zhaohui feels a sting of disappointment upon realizing he wasn't invited to the party, especially knowing that Zhou Cheng is by her side. Back at the village, the Luo family refuses to let the matter rest.
The elder Luo fakes a worsening illness to pressure Xiaolan for compensation, eventually demanding a management position for his grandson, Luo Yaozong. Xiaolan holds her ground, offering Yaozong nothing more than a job as a security guard. During the standoff, the grandfather reveals the history of the land, recounting how he saved a man surnamed Qiu on that spot twenty years ago.
The man had later sent a porcelain vase as a gift, confirming Xiaolan’s suspicion that this lead is connected to Granny Yu’s missing son. Meanwhile, Jiang Yan’s mother continues to pressure Zhou Cheng, urging him to marry her daughter as a form of responsibility for her injuries. Zhou Cheng remains firm, showing respect for the elder but reminding her that he already has a girlfriend.
When Jiang Yan is eventually discharged, she confesses her long-standing feelings for him but makes it clear she will not participate in her mother’s attempts at moral kidnapping. Driven by the new leads, Xiaolan prepares to travel to Gangdao. Zhou Cheng offers to accompany her, but she insists he stay behind for his own safety, fearing that his involvement in the previous smuggling case would make him a target.
In Gangdao, Du Zhaohui takes charge of her security, yet they quickly notice a mysterious car tailing them through the city. Du Zhaohui leads Xiaolan to meet the elusive Mr. Qiu. Upon meeting him, Xiaolan directly addresses him by his true name: Xu Zhongyi. He admits his identity, revealing that he has secretly returned to check on his mother, Granny Yu, several times but was too ashamed to face her.
He recounts the tragedy of 1967, explaining how a man he trusted betrayed him during his escape to the South Seas. His wife and child were murdered in the ambush, and he barely survived. Since then, he has lived under a false name, building his wealth as an antique dealer while waiting for the chance to take his revenge.
Xiaolan criticizes his obsession with vengeance, pointing out that it is the 1990s and he is wasting his life and his mother’s time on an outdated vendetta. To learn more about his operations, she attends one of his high-end auctions. There, she spots Du Zhaoji and is surprised to see Ye Xiaoqiong, a woman she once rescued from human traffickers on a train, working as his assistant.
Later that night, Ye Xiaoqiong finds Xiaolan to express her deep gratitude, explaining that the money Xiaolan lent her years ago gave her the hope to build a new, successful life in Gangdao.
