> Resumos de Stay With Me
Two months after her accident, Li Weiwei finally awoke in a Shanghai hospital. Still disoriented, she believed it was 2008 and insisted that Huo Xiao take her to the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, unaware of the seven years that had passed. A doctor explained to Huo Xiao that Li Weiwei had suffered brain damage, resulting in retrograde amnesia where she had forgotten the last seven years.
While there was no specific cure, the doctor suggested recounting past events might help her memory return. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao had privately hired a detective agency in Paris to investigate the showroom's fire and Designer Li's robbery, as he did not believe the Paris police's conclusion that they were mere accidents unrelated to Chen Yidu. Upon returning home, Li Weiwei was stunned by her luxurious surroundings and abundance of designer items, initially thinking she was dreaming.
Huo Xiao explained that five years prior, they had founded Ling Long together, and she had since become a top international fashion designer. He also revealed they were engaged. Li Weiwei struggled to accept their engagement. She couldn't imagine marrying Huo Xiao, whom she recalled as her childhood friend with "snot coming out of his nose." She even apologized profusely to Huo Xiao on behalf of her 30-year-old self, condemning herself for potentially "harming" him out of desperation to marry.
She then suddenly remembered to call her father, unaware he had passed away years ago. Huo Xiao tried to stop her, but Li Weiwei had already dialed. Fortunately, the call was redirected to her father's voicemail, temporarily concealing the painful truth. During Li Weiwei's coma, Ling Long's business had suffered significantly. D. U. had surpassed them by 12% in sales and poached several key design talents, including Su Fei, George, and Old Wan.
Huo Xiao, prioritizing Li Weiwei's recovery, had instructed Secretary Ou to keep the company's precarious situation from her. However, Li Weiwei, suspecting something was amiss, feigned memory recovery to trick Secretary Ou into confessing the company's troubles. Learning the truth, Li Weiwei immediately decided to confront Chen Yidu and reclaim her former employees. Her first attempt at D. U. was unsuccessful; she couldn't even get past security to reach her designers.
Huo Xiao arrived and found Li Weiwei outside, explaining that her past "demon Li Weiwei" work style meant her former employees likely harbored resentment towards her. The company's struggles fueled Huo Xiao's Second Uncle, Huo Ruiyong, to attempt a takeover during a board meeting. He highlighted Ling Long's declining sales and employee attrition to argue for Huo Xiao's resignation. Li Weiwei, making a dramatic entrance, declared she would rectify the situation.
The chairman then challenged Li Weiwei to reclaim the designers from D. U. within five days. Determined, Li Weiwei wore a dress designed by Su Fei and returned to D. U. There, she found Su Fei, George, and Old Wan doing menial tasks like stringing beads, which made her realize they were not thriving. She urged them to return to Ling Long, criticizing D. U. for underutilizing their talents.
However, Chen Yidu intervened, reminding them of their contracts and threatening to call the police, accusing Li Weiwei of attempting to steal trade secrets. Undeterred, Li Weiwei later learned Chen Yidu was scheduled to meet with Master Lin and his fiancée to discuss wedding gown designs. She ingeniously trapped D. U. designer Tiffany in a hotel restroom and impersonated D. U.' s chief designer for the meeting.
Li Weiwei's innovative design concepts greatly impressed Master Lin's fiancée, and Chen Yidu, recognizing the potential for a lucrative deal, reluctantly allowed her to continue. Li Weiwei used this opportunity to demand the return of her former employees as compensation for her assistance. Chen Yidu noticed a significant change in her demeanor, finding her different from the "demon Li Weiwei" he once knew. Ultimately, the designers' release was also facilitated by Huo Xiao, who had strategically bought out D. U.'
s scarce fabric supply to gain leverage over Chen Yidu. Huo Xiao grew increasingly uneasy about Li Weiwei's renewed interactions with Chen Yidu. Fearing that her amnesia made her vulnerable to repeating past mistakes, he instructed Secretary Ou to keep her away from Chen Yidu. Meanwhile, Li Weiwei, who had a habit of updating her father nightly, continued to send messages to his old phone, which Huo Xiao had kept.
He secretly replied to her texts, offering words of encouragement in her father's stead. With the designers back at Ling Long, their loyalty solidified by Li Weiwei's efforts, they enthusiastically began working on the next season's collection, determined to surpass D. U.' s performance. The designers observed a change in Li Weiwei's leadership style; instead of her usual harsh criticism, she now offered praise and smiles, which surprisingly left them feeling even more anxious.
Huo Ruiyong, who had hoped to capitalize on Li Weiwei's illness, found her even more formidable and unpredictable upon her return. Li Weiwei's amnesia had also altered her daily habits, including a newfound dependence on sweets to fuel her designs, leading to humorous skirmishes with Huo Xiao over her hidden stash of chocolates and cocktails.
