> The Justice Recap
Cheng Yizhi came to the construction site of Wande Garden and personally demonstrated the skills and methods of French style bricklaying. The worker Luo quickly grasped the essentials, and others gathered around to learn. Cheng Yizhi asked Luo to lead a few people to lay bricks. Foreman Tang was completely convinced by Cheng Yizhi. Cheng Yizhi guessed that Leizi had bribed Foreman Tang, which was why he deliberately caused trouble and dragged his feet.
Foreman Tang slapped himself hard and hurriedly took the workers to get to work, promising to complete the task on time. Wu Lizi recruited talents and carefully selected 5 Credit Dept. section members. She quickly prepared the Information Investigation Department. She came to report to Cheng Yizhi and saw him drinking alone. Wu Lizi accompanied him, casually mentioning that her stage name at the restaurant was Hennessey.
Cheng Yizhi, emboldened by the alcohol, revealed that the brandy at the restaurant was mixed with water. Wu Lizi admitted it without hesitation and also shared interesting stories about working at the restaurant. The two toasted each other, becoming happier as they talked. Wu Lizi praised Cheng Yizhi for being reliable and promised to fight alongside him to make Rebang Bank stronger and stronger. Bell came to Wu Lizi to loan 500 taels to open a tailor shop.
Wu Lizi had to follow the rules and regulations. Bell mistakenly thought she was unwilling to help, left in a huff without looking back, and Wu Lizi hurriedly chased after her. Cheng Yizhi went to see Xu Shu, encouraging him to do things boldly and confidently, promising to be his strong backing. Xu Shu had always thought Cheng Yizhi and Wu Lizi were a match made in heaven, so he was surprised to learn they were divorced.
Cheng Yizhi admitted that he and Wu Lizi seemed to be happy but it's unhappy, not suitable to be husband and wife, but more suitable as business partners. Cheng Yizhi, on the other hand, felt that Xu Shu and Wu Lizi were a better match. Wu Lizi waited opposite Bell's tailor shop for a whole morning. Seeing that the shop had good customer traffic, she personally visited Bell and agreed to give her a loan to open the shop.
Wu Lizi also took Bell to a Western restaurant for coffee, asking her to carefully observe the western-style clothes worn by the customers dining there. Bell was full of gratitude towards Wu Lizi. Wu Lizi asked her to make two suits for Cheng Yizhi and revealed the news of their divorce. Bell was deeply surprised. Wu Lizi helped Bell get a loan to open a western-style clothes shop.
Bell quickly finished two suits for Cheng Yizhi, and Wu Lizi personally helped him try them on. Cheng Yizhi found a new place to live. He came home to pack his things. Wu Lizi went to the bedroom to help him pack clothes, and Cheng Yizhi went to the study to organize books. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from the bedroom.
Cheng Yizhi rushed over and saw that Wu Lizi had accidentally dropped the photo frame containing their group photo on the floor. Cheng Yizhi quickly picked up the broken glass. Cheng Yizhi quickly packed his luggage. He handed the house key to Wu Lizi. Wu Lizi reminded him to be careful, and Cheng Yizhi drove away without looking back. Wu Lizi returned to the empty house. Every corner bore the traces of Cheng Yizhi's life.
She took out the note Cheng Yizhi had left in the rented room and the receipt from the piano shop. Seeing these items, her heart was filled with mixed emotions as she thought of him. Cheng Yizhi came to the unfamiliar house alone. He took out his clothes one by one, but Wu Lizi's image lingered in his mind. Cheng Yizhi angrily threw his clothes on the ground and lay on the bed, silently shedding tears.
Shimazaki Tadashi personally visited Cheng Yizhi to congratulate him. He immediately took a liking to the suit Cheng Yizhi was wearing and wanted to order an identical one. Cheng Yizhi introduced him to Bell's western-style clothes shop. Shimazaki Tadashi found the western-style clothes shop according to the address. Bell greeted him warmly. Shimazaki Tadashi wanted to order a suit. Bell looked him up and down and accurately stated his height and shoulder width, suggesting a waist-cinching suit.
The shop didn't have high-end fabrics suitable for him, but Shimazaki Tadashi didn't mind and asked Bell to tailor a suit for him. Shopkeeper Lin came to Cheng Yizhi to borrow one hundred thousand taels of silver for working capital. Cheng Yizhi suggested that Linji Rice Shop go public and issue shares. Shopkeeper Lin worried that being too prominent would attract envy, but Rebang Bank was still not wealthy. Cheng Yizhi needed three months to raise this amount.
Shopkeeper Lin couldn't wait and had no choice but to agree to raise funds by issuing shares. Shimazaki Tadashi fell in love with Bell at first sight and highly praised her craftsmanship, but he dared not leave his real name, falsely claiming to be Dafeng. Xu Shu asked Secretary Guan to help him get two concert tickets. He invited Wu Lizi to go with him.
Wu Lizi knew that tickets for this concert were hard to come by, but she was busy helping Shopkeeper Lin prepare for the stock listing. Wu Lizi didn't want to disappoint Xu Shu, so she agreed to have dinner with him tonight. Cheng Yizhi personally saw the two of them leave together, feeling a pang of jealousy. Shimazaki Tadashi gave Bell a copy of the latest European model images of the western-style clothes.
Bell loved it and wanted to know where he got the book. Shimazaki Tadashi took the opportunity to invite her to dinner, promising to tell her the truth afterward. Wu Lizi and Xu Shu chatted happily over drinks. Xu Shu repeatedly explained that he had no improper intentions towards Wu Lizi, only wanting to offer her some comfort as a friend. Xu Shu also spoke about his first love, which ended without resolution.
Bell followed Shimazaki Tadashi to the restaurant, eager to know the origin of the model images. Shimazaki Tadashi admitted he obtained it through bank connections. Bell casually mentioned Cheng Yizhi, and Shimazaki Tadashi admitted he knew Cheng Yizhi. After dinner, he walked Bell home, and the two found more and more common ground as they talked. Director Zhao of Shenqin Cotton Mill requested a loan of three hundred thousand from Cheng Yizhi to open two branch factories.
Cheng Yizhi learned that he had already chosen a new factory site and promised to grant him the loan six months later. Director Zhao was greatly displeased, complaining that he was too dogmatic in his work. Cheng Yizhi convened a board meeting, explaining to everyone that the bank's accounts did not have much money. Director Zhao suggested buying the 25% government bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance to make a large profit.
Cheng Yizhi did not want to make money through speculation. Zhou Wenquan, Wu Lizi, and Xu Shu all supported Cheng Yizhi. Director Zhao immediately became furious. He only gave Cheng Yizhi one month. If Cheng Yizhi did not make changes by then, he would withdraw from Rebang Bank.
