> Resumos de Dream of Golden Years
Pan Baohua scouted Boss Ke’s territory from a nearby restaurant, planning his next move. He ordered sampan porridge and braised meat, but when he tried to add a beer and a dozen oysters to his meal, Zhou Cheng arrived and intervened. Zhou Cheng told the waiter to bring herbal tea instead, reminding Pan Baohua that he shouldn’t be drinking while driving.
Pan Baohua initially thought Zhou Cheng had come to help him settle the score with Ke Yixiong, but Zhou Cheng was there to persuade him to stand down. Pan Baohua argued that if Xiaolan had been the one beaten, Zhou Cheng wouldn't remain calm. Zhou Cheng admitted he would be just as angry but refused to walk blindly into a trap on Ke Yixiong’s home turf.
He warned Pan Baohua that while he might be willing to risk jail time, such an impulsive act would create a permanent rift between him and Bai Zhenzhu. At the police station, Bai Zhenzhu took Xiaolan’s advice and officially reported the assault. She provided clear descriptions of her attackers, specifically identifying a man named A Qiang who had dyed yellow hair and a tattoo on his arm, as well as another man with a scarred face.
Pan Baohua arrived later, deeply apologetic for his impulsive behavior and for nearly making things worse. Afterward, the group gathered at a restaurant to support Zhenzhu. Kang Wei was particularly attentive, ordering light, salt-free food and chrysanthemum tea to help her recover. Meanwhile, Ke Yixiong remained arrogant. He dismissed the news of the police report, confident that his alibis from a karaoke bar and a restaurant would protect him from any legal consequences.
Zhenzhu realized that she had been too caught up in the thrill of rivalry lately and apologized for nearly leading her friends into a dangerous situation. She vowed to lead her fellow disciples toward legitimate business rather than street fights. As the group ate, they teased Pan Baohua about his motivations.
When pushed to explain why he was so invested in a conflict that didn't involve his own business, Pan Baohua finally admitted that he couldn't bear the thought of never seeing Zhenzhu again if he ended up in prison. He gathered his courage and confessed his feelings directly to her. Zhenzhu admitted she liked him too, officially beginning their relationship. Later, during a medical check-up, the nurse teased Pan Baohua for failing to protect his girlfriend better.
Zhenzhu told him that while she didn't need a traditional protector, she wanted a partner for the quiet days and a comrade to fight by her side during times of danger. In another part of the city, Kang Wei brought a nutritious meal to You Li at the hospital, encouraging her to eat well so she would have the strength to care for her mother.
You Li was deeply grateful for Xiaolan’s financial support for her mother's treatment and expressed her hope to hire a caregiver soon so she could return to work and repay the debt. Meanwhile, Liu Fen and Tang Hong'en celebrated their marriage with a simple dinner at Granny Yu’s house. Tang Hong'en joked that from now on, his wife would call the shots at home.
Liu Fen gave an emotional speech, thanking her brother and sister-in-law for taking her and Xiaolan in when they were at their lowest. She also thanked Mr. Chen for his trust in her at the store and Granny Yu for treating her like family. Finally, she praised Xiaolan as the best daughter in the world, noting how her life felt like a dream come true.
As the couple left the celebration, Xia Dajun, who was working as a delivery driver, recognized Liu Fen. He watched in silence as his ex-wife got into a car with a prominent man, feeling a surge of bitterness before being snapped back to reality by his shouting boss. At the same time, Zhou Cheng updated Xiaolan on the smuggling investigation.
He noted that while the Du family was deeply involved in illegal trade, Du Zhaohui appeared to be staying clear of those dealings lately. He remarked that the Du family’s internal affairs, filled with multiple wives and illegitimate children, were far more chaotic than they appeared on the surface. In Hong Kong, Du Zhaohui spotted his brother, Du Zhaoji, leaving a building where Mr. Chen’s company was located.
He suspected Zhaoji was meeting with Xia Ziyu and felt a sense of triumph, believing this connection would play into his own plans to defeat his brother. Back in Shengcheng, Ye Xiaoqiong invited Xiaolan to a farewell dinner featuring lotus root soup. She expressed her profound gratitude to Xiaolan for her past help, promising to repay the debt one day despite her current position as Du Zhaoji’s subordinate.
Xiaolan noticed that Ye Xiaoqiong was no longer the simple person she once knew, having developed the sharp instincts needed to survive in the Du family’s inner circle. The Electronics City project was nearing completion, and the pre-sale of stalls was an overwhelming success, with annual rents projected to reach seven million yuan. Du Zhaohui was reveling in the success until news arrived that the project’s design was being accused of plagiarism.
Nie Weiguo, a deputy director from Jiangcheng, sent a lawyer's letter claiming the design was stolen from his unpublished work. The lead designer, Hou Qi, was horrified, explaining that Nie was a scoundrel who had previously harassed her and stolen her labor, which was why she had left Jiangcheng. Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng suspected that this was a coordinated attack by Xia Ziyu and Du Zhaoji to ruin Xiaolan’s reputation.
They feared that someone close to them was acting as a mole, providing detailed information about Hou Qi’s past to their enemies. Meanwhile, Liu Yong went to the Haihua Hotel to collect the final payment for his work, but the manager, Mr. Huo, used minor issues with unpruned trees as an excuse to withhold the funds.
The situation grew even more dire when Xiaolan learned that Director Pan, who had authorized their bank loan for the Jinsha City project, was being questioned by authorities. This placed their project at risk of an early loan recall, threatening the financial stability of the entire company.
