> Resumos de My Bargain Queen
Qin Hebo met with Mr. Xue, intending to withdraw from their partnership. He had successfully secured ten percent of Evergreen's shares as per their agreement and was now ready to quit. However, Mr. Xue, surprised, asked if he was truly quitting. Unbeknownst to Qin Hebo, the information he had obtained was part of a trap orchestrated by Sheng Zhening. Sheng Zhening had anticipated Mr. Xue's plan to use Qin Hebo to steal sensitive guest information to damage Evergreen's reputation.
Sheng Zhening resolved to handle the situation himself, with Xia Qian insisting on accompanying him. During their conversation, Fu Shuangshuang overheard the trap. Sheng Zhening expressed his reluctance to see Qin Hebo caught in such a compromising position, as it would shatter all his good impressions of Qin Hebo. Fu Shuangshuang, having overheard Xia Qian and Sheng Zhening’s conversation, sent a timely text message to Qin Hebo, warning him of the trap.
This action, meant to repay a past favor (a list of Evergreen's May wedding guests), saved Qin Hebo from being caught red-handed. Later that evening, on the hotel rooftop, Fu Shuangshuang confronted Qin Hebo. She expressed her deep disappointment, recalling her previous question about whether he could change. She desperately wanted to believe his sincerity but questioned if he could truly abandon his past and current possessions.
Qin Hebo pleaded for another chance, but Fu Shuangshuang firmly told him she could not give him one, stating that her affection for him had caused her to hurt her closest friend and become someone she hated. The cost of liking him was too great, and she could no longer continue the relationship. The next day, Fu Shuangshuang, consumed by guilt, confessed to Xia Qian that she was the one who warned Qin Hebo.
Xia Qian, trying to lighten the mood, playfully suggested they were both "spies," before becoming serious and reassuring Fu Shuangshuang that mistakes happen and it's important to be resilient and move forward. Fu Shuangshuang decided to take a break from Worth Or Not and return to her hometown to clear her head. Xia Qian, though understanding, reminded her that Worth Or Not needed her and that she would surely return after some time.
Meanwhile, a disheartened Qin Hebo submitted his resignation to the board of directors. He advised his assistant, Emily, to find another job as she could no longer stay at Evergreen after his departure, even offering to help her. Emily asked if she could continue working with him, but Qin Hebo explained he needed to rest and that he had nothing left to pack. Upon learning of Qin Hebo's resignation, Sheng Zhening confronted him, hoping for an explanation.
Sheng Zhening questioned his motives, stating he couldn't comprehend why Qin Hebo would betray him and Ning Meng, even sabotaging Ning Meng's wedding, for money or shares from Mr. Xue. Qin Hebo simply apologized for failing their trust, stating he had nothing to explain and didn't seek forgiveness. He then asked Sheng Zhening to say goodbye to Ning Meng for him. Sheng Zhening declared their relationship over, adding that he had protected Ning Meng from knowing Qin Hebo's true colors.
Subsequently, Mr. Xue, refusing to accept Qin Hebo's decision, met him again, expressing disappointment that Qin Hebo was giving up such a promising future. Qin Hebo clarified that his initial agreement to help acquire Evergreen was solely to repay a past kindness. He recounted how, years ago, after his startup failed, he repeatedly sought investment from Lihe Capital and was consistently rejected.
One day, after another failed meeting, Mr. Xue offered him a suit to wear and later, noticing his persistence, offered him a job at Lihe Capital. Qin Hebo expressed immense gratitude for that opportunity but explained that he now stood to lose far more than what he had gained from Mr. Xue, and thus, he was leaving.
After leaving Evergreen, Qin Hebo tried to find Fu Shuangshuang, only to learn from a neighbor that she had gone back to her hometown. He packed his belongings and set off to find her. Back at Evergreen, Sheng Zhening informed Xia Qian that Lihe Capital had already infiltrated the company and would soon appoint a shareholder representative, signaling the arrival of their next formidable opponent. Xia Qian playfully reminded him that they could handle anything together, as a united couple.
At Worth Or Not, the selection manager highlighted an interesting customer named "Lele's Dad," who bought a variety of products, including shampoo, masks, and baby toys, suggesting he was a devoted father and husband. This news made Xia Qian pensive. She later confided in Sheng Zhening about her estranged father, revealing that her nickname was Lele. She recounted how her father, a passionate but struggling band member, chose music over his family when forced to choose by her mother.
He left when she was young, and they hadn't communicated in twenty years. Xia Qian expressed a strong desire never to see him again, or if she did, to confront him angrily. The next day, Qi Lin arrived at Evergreen as the new shareholder representative for Lihe Capital, booking the presidential suite for an extended stay. Sheng Zhening, recognizing her as an old acquaintance and a highly capable individual, was dismayed to find her now an adversary.
He told her that while it was the last thing he wanted to see, their relationship would now be strictly business. He then instructed An An to closely monitor Qi Lin's every move and report back promptly. Despite Xia Qian's vow, fate had other plans. A woman from her father's band contacted her, revealing that her father had undergone a dangerous brain tumor removal surgery. Though the tumor was gone, he had completely lost his memory.
With no one else to care for him, Xia Qian reluctantly brought him home. She was shocked to discover that her father, unable to remember anything, was indeed the "Lele's Dad" who had been diligently buying all her recommended products online. During a shareholder meeting, Sheng Zhening proposed the grand reopening of Building No. 2, featuring an appearance by the internationally renowned pianist, Mr. Peter Bao, as an endorser.
This plan initially drew criticism from some shareholders due to the already significant renovation costs. However, Qi Lin unexpectedly supported Sheng Zhening’s proposal, convincing the other shareholders. This swift and surprising move by Qi Lin left Sheng Zhening feeling uneasy, prompting him to instruct An An to continue monitoring her, suspecting a deeper motive behind her seemingly supportive actions. Meanwhile, in her hometown, Fu Shuangshuang was helping her mother run their guesthouse.
Her mother, busy on the phone, asked her to pick up a guest from room 102. Driving to the meeting point, Fu Shuangshuang struggled with bad phone signal while trying to communicate with the guest. To her shock, the guest turned out to be Qin Hebo. He claimed he was merely a tourist, but Fu Shuangshuang, enraged, refused to believe him and angrily drove away, leaving him and his luggage behind.
Back home, Xia Qian found herself overwhelmed trying to care for her father, who was still pretending to have memory loss. She was constantly interrupted by work calls, struggling to feed him while juggling her responsibilities. Realizing she couldn't manage alone, she decided to hire a caretaker, Ms. Chen. Sheng Zhening, noticing her struggle, offered to arrange 24-hour care, but Xia Qian initially resisted, feeling her father didn't deserve such kindness and that her mother would never forgive him.
However, they decided against telling her mother about his condition. As Xia Qian and Sheng Zhening left the house, her father, who had been feigning memory loss, made a phone call to a friend, revealing his act was going smoothly and that it was a way to slowly reconcile with Xia Qian without being immediately rejected. He confirmed that everything was going according to plan. Simultaneously, Fu Shuangshuang returned to her mother's guesthouse, explaining that she couldn't pick up the guest because the phone number didn't connect, still concealing her encounter with Qin Hebo.
