Stay With Me Episode 33 Recap
> Stay With Me Recap
Huo Xiao received an update on Mo Fan from his secretary, learning that Mo Fan was orphaned at a young age and raised in an orphanage. He and Chen Yidu became friends in college through the Thai Boxing Society, and Mo Fan was even made Chen Yidu's mother's godchild. The secretary could not find any deep-seated grudge between them and informed Huo Xiao that all records from before Mo Fan entered the orphanage were lost.
Huo Xiao instructed him to continue investigating Mo Fan's background using other pathways. Li Weiwei was preoccupied with understanding Ms. Cotillard's preferences for an upcoming design competition, lamenting that she didn't even know her basic measurements. Chen Yidu suggested they find the answers together. They followed Ms. Cotillard to a coffee shop, where Chen Yidu invited her for coffee. While they spoke, Li Weiwei attempted to discreetly measure Ms. Cotillard under the table but accidentally touched her leg.
Ms. Cotillard, misinterpreting Chen Yidu's intentions, was offended and left. D. U. Company secured a major order for Malaysian-style wedding dresses. Cao Zhong expressed concerns about the risk of unsellable dresses if the order was canceled, but a persuasive salesperson convinced Vice Director Liang to sign the contract. Huo Xiao's secretary later investigated Robert Hu, the Malaysian businessman who signed the contract with D. U.
, finding his identity to be legitimate but noting that he had never appeared in mainland China, which was suspicious. Late one night, Chen Yidu received a call from Cao Zhong, who delivered the devastating news that the Malaysian company had declared bankruptcy. D. U. was now left with a huge inventory of unsellable Malaysian-style wedding dresses. Chen Yidu faced immense pressure, with board members bombarding him with questions about plummeting stock prices and D. U.'
s chances of entering Fontaine Bleue. Some even suspected Chen Yidu of colluding with Li Weiwei to defraud the board. Li Weiwei desperately tried to leverage her network to find buyers for D. U.' s dresses, but many friends either avoided her calls, claimed they were unable to help, or tried to take advantage of her. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao used his father's connections to find a Malaysian buyer for all of D. U.' s dresses, resolving Chen Yidu's immediate crisis.
He asked Li Weiwei to tell Chen Yidu that after such a big incident, he should reflect on himself. The news of the dresses being sold quickly reached the board meeting, resolving D. U.' s immediate crisis. Later, Li Weiwei bought supper for Chen Yidu and asked if he suspected anyone within the company. Chen Yidu admitted that without internal collusion, the company wouldn't have suffered such a significant setback, indicating he intended to "clean house."
He mused that the rival might not be a commercial competitor like Ling Long. Huo Xiao's secretary later revealed that Mo Fan's parents had died in a car accident when he was twelve, and Chen Yidu's father was the perpetrator. Huo Xiao instructed him to monitor Mo Fan's activities. Ms. Cotillard called a meeting with Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu. She stated that while D. U.
and Ling Long's annual sales were neck and neck, only China's leading bridal brand could secure a spot in Fontaine Bleue. At the meeting, Ms. Cotillard wore a gown designed by Li Weiwei, praising its exquisite Chinese style but remarking that it didn't quite "fit." Li Weiwei explained that a final touch was needed, and to everyone's amazement, she quickly and skillfully altered the dress on the spot, achieving a perfect fit.
Ms. Cotillard was deeply impressed, acknowledging Li Weiwei's undiminished talent as an outstanding designer despite her memory loss. She announced that both D. U. and Ling Long would compete in a final two-week bridal gown design contest, with the winner receiving a hundred-million-yuan order from Fontaine Bleue. Chen Yidu continued his internal investigation. The salesperson involved in the Malaysian order confessed to Chen Yidu that Huang Kai had taken him to a bar where he met Robert Hu.
Chen Yidu found it peculiar that the salesperson was familiar with Huang Kai, who was from HR. Both Tiffany and Chen Yidu decided Huang Kai needed to be investigated. Tiffany decided to personally track Huang Kai, but Leo, eager to see Tiffany, inadvertently interfered with her surveillance, causing her to lose Huang Kai. Chen Yidu then enacted "Plan B."
Cao Zhong and Tiffany staged a conversation in front of Huang Kai, loudly discussing a sensitive document about the mole and Vice Director Liang that they were supposedly taking to Chen Yidu's office. They then observed Huang Kai through surveillance cameras. As expected, Huang Kai discreetly entered Chen Yidu's office, retrieved the dummy document, and left the company. Chen Yidu, alerted by Cao Zhong, immediately drove to follow Huang Kai.
However, the mole proved too cunning and did not meet his contact, preventing Chen Yidu from identifying the mastermind. Chen Yidu later confided in Mo Fan that he was busy playing detective to uncover a deeply hidden mole in the company, whom he felt was using simple tricks. In their personal lives, Tiffany tasted Leo's cooking, complimenting it but gently suggesting room for improvement.
Leo, thrilled, vowed to cook for her daily whenever she was busy, to which Tiffany was amused. Li Weiwei discovered a table laden with food and initially believed Leo had cooked for her. After a taste, she almost gagged, only to learn the meal was prepared for Tiffany, causing her to quickly compose herself and praise Leo's culinary efforts.
