The plagiarism scandal surrounding the project sent shockwaves through the construction site, leading to a full-scale strike by the workers. Xia Xiaolan immediately sensed that someone was pulling the strings from the shadows to sabotage her. While her business partners and mentors, including Mao Kangshan and Bai Zhenzhu, were quick to offer their personal savings and company funds—totaling over a million yuan—to help her through the crisis, Xiaolan refused to take their money.
She viewed them as her "backup path" and insisted on resolving the issue herself rather than risking their financial stability. When Tang Hong'en learned of the situation, he reached out to Xiaolan to offer his support. He reminded her that as family, they must face these trials together.
He advised her to remain calm, pointing out that the bank loan issues and payment delays from the Haihua Hotel were directly tied to the plagiarism allegations; once the legal battle was resolved, the financial pressure would naturally ease. Tang Hong'en encouraged her to focus on the court case, promising to provide guidance as a family member whenever she needed it. Xia Xiaolan and her colleagues spent the following day meticulously gathering evidence.
While they were working, a television interview with Nie Weiguo aired. He played the part of a righteous victim, claiming he was only trying to pull two "young children" back onto the right path. He attacked Xiaolan personally, suggesting that young, beautiful women often try to take shortcuts in the industry, and questioned how someone with so little experience could land such a massive project.
Despite his inflammatory remarks, Xiaolan remained composed, even finding a silver lining in the fact that the scandal was providing the Electronics City with an unprecedented amount of free publicity. On the day of the trial, Nie Weiguo arrived at the court feeling smug and victorious. However, Xia Xiaolan made a grand entrance, arriving on a bus with a group of women all wearing matching shirts that read, "The Truth is Only One."
Before entering the courtroom, she distributed printed portfolios to the waiting media. She had printed her own works alongside Nie Weiguo's past designs without names, challenging the public and the press to guess which ones were the true original masterpieces based on quality and style alone. As the proceedings began, the plaintiff's lawyer attempted to trap Hou Qi, asking if she had access to Nie Weiguo’s drafts during her time as his assistant at the Jiangcheng Design Institute.
When the lawyer suggested that Xiaolan had exploited technical limitations to steal Nie’s work through Hou Qi, Xiaolan's team objected. Xiaolan argued that the entire premise was flawed because Nie Weiguo simply lacked the talent to design something as sophisticated as the Electronics City in the first place. To prove her point, Xiaolan called upon Professor Ning, a legendary figure in the architectural world.
Although he and Mao Kangshan were long-time rivals known as "Northern Ning and Southern Mao," they shared a deep mutual respect for each other’s professionalism. Professor Ning testified that while forensic techniques might struggle to distinguish a copy from an original, a true expert could see the difference clearly. He concluded that Xia Xiaolan was undoubtedly the original author of the design. The court dismissed the case, and a panicked Nie Weiguo tried to flee the scene.
Xiaolan stopped him in his tracks, revealing a group of former colleagues and students he had suppressed over the years. With the media watching, she presented a collective complaint signed by his victims, exposing his history of stealing designs and harassing female coworkers. Ruined and humiliated, Nie Weiguo was forced to retreat as his reputation crumbled.
Meanwhile, Du Zhaoji tracked down Vivi and confronted her at gunpoint, demanding to know the truth behind her actions and her secret alliance against Du Zhaohui. Vivi, who was actually Xia Ziyu, desperately tried to save herself by claiming she was a victim of Xiaolan’s framing.
She proposed an alliance with Du Zhaoji to take down Du Zhaohui, but the wary Du Zhaoji remained skeptical of her words, wondering how much truth could come from a woman whose name and face were both fabrications. With the legal battle won, the Haihua Hotel finally settled its outstanding balance, and the bank released the necessary loans. The Electronics City was ready for its grand debut.
On the eve of the opening, Du Zhaohui was a bundle of nerves and excitement, unable to sleep as he contemplated the future of his massive investment. He arrived at the mall early the next morning, sternly reminding his staff to treat every customer like royalty, warning that any complaints would result in fines. To ensure a successful launch, Du Zhaohui organized a massive raffle for anyone who spent over a hundred yuan.
The prizes were extravagant, ranging from laundry detergent to motorcycles and even a brand-new car. As the crowds gathered outside, Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng watched the promotional frenzy. They discussed the clever marketing tactics used to drive up sales, noting how customers would be tempted to buy more just to get another ticket. With everything finally in place, the doors to the Electronics City swung open to welcome a sea of eager shoppers.
