War of Faith Episode 9 Recap
> War of Faith Recap
Lin Qiaosong and the singer Song Meijuan were old lovers. Song Meijuan saw him beaten black and blue and advised him to resign from the investigation team and start a small business. Lin Qiaosong was unwilling to live a mediocre life and was determined to get promoted, get rich, and make a name for himself. Song Meijuan was helpless. Mr.
Song, the Minister of Finance of the Nanjing government, appointed Shen Tunan as the Central Bank's plenipotentiary agent, fully responsible for the reform of customs tariff custody rights. Shen Tunan made careful arrangements, having Wei Ruolai memorize the detailed information of banking tycoons and business celebrities and having Huang Congyun stay at the bank to deal with the bosses who came to cause trouble. Huang Congyun and Wei Ruolai were prepared to charge into battle at any time.
After the Commercial Bank was acquired, Yu Shiqing recommended Zhang Mingquan to be the manager at HSBC Bank. Zhang Mingquan saw the letter of appointment issued by the Ministry of Finance and immediately called Yu Shiqing for help. The customs tariff custody right is the killer move to control the national treasury. Back then, Yuan Shikai used the custody right to borrow a huge deposit from foreign banks that was guaranteed against drought and flood.
If Shen Tunan took back the custody right, they wouldn't be able to borrow money using the custody right. This would cut off their financial lifeline and also harm the interests of foreign businessmen. Yu Shiqing was also helpless and told Zhang Mingquan to fight Shen Tunan to the end. Students took to the streets to protest against the Central Bank's betrayal, corruption, and incompetence.
People who didn't know the truth were incited by others to smash things outside the Central Bank. Police heard the news and rushed to maintain order. Shen Tunan burned his bridges, determined to fight the corrupt forces to the end. He worried about his family's safety and sent people to protect his wife and child 24 hours a day. Zhang Mingquan brought people to the Central Bank to cause trouble, clamoring to settle accounts with Shen Tunan.
Huang Congyun was neither servile nor overbearing and skillfully dealt with them. Zhang Mingquan was relentless, shouting loudly in the bank. Huang Congyun snatched his gun and fired a warning shot, having the police forcibly take Zhang Mingquan away. Shen Tunan took Wei Ruolai to visit Uncle Jiang, a major shareholder of Ningbo Bank. Wei Ruolai detailed the benefits of customs tariff reform for businesses and people's livelihoods.
Uncle Jiang was moved by Wei Ruolai's words and agreed to cast a vote for Shen Tunan. He proposed one condition: he hoped Mr. Song would give him a guarantee that the government would not impose burdens on them in the future and didn't want to become a tool of war. Shen Tunan promised to report to Mr. Song. Shen Tunan was full of praise for Wei Ruolai's performance today. Uncle Jiang's influence in the business world cannot be underestimated.
Shen Tunan wanted to take him to meet Yu Shiqing. Wei Ruolai knew that Yu Shiqing would not be easy to deal with. He came overnight to find the boss of the Axe Gang, Qian Shaoliang, to borrow a gun. The Axe Gang never uses guns, so he gave Wei Ruolai an axe for self-defense. Wei Ruolai politely declined. Wei Ruolai saw Zhang Mingquan going to a nightclub on his way home.
Remembering that Zhang Mingquan had once pointed a gun at his head, Wei Ruolai wanted to seek revenge on him. Shen Tunan got off work and went home. Su Cishu wanted to take him to a banquet. Yu Shiqing's wife is a film industry boss. She had just gotten a script and felt that Su Cishu was very suitable for the role of the female lead. Shen Tunan suspected that Yu Shiqing and his wife's motives were not pure.
Su Cishu wanted to go and investigate personally. Zhang Mingquan came to the nightclub to drown his sorrows in drink. He immediately took a liking to Song Meijuan. Ignoring the manager Liang Ma's dissuasion, he pulled Song Meijuan to drink with him. Song Meijuan kept pouring him drinks. Zhang Mingquan quickly got drunk. He went to the restroom and kept throwing up violently.
Wei Ruolai followed Zhang Mingquan to the restroom, knocked him out from behind, and took his gun and pocket watch, creating the illusion of robbery for money. Wei Ruolai came out of the nightclub, kept the gun with him, and threw the pocket watch into a trash can. The pocket watch was picked up by a homeless man. Qian Shaoliang happened to pass by in a car and voluntarily gave Wei Ruolai a ride home.
Shen Tunan accompanied Su Cishu to the Yu family banquet. Madam Yu pulled Su Cishu aside to talk about the script. Yu Shiqing called Shen Tunan aside, desperately tried to win him over, and even brought up Mr. Song. Shen Tunan promised to think about it carefully before saying anything. Liang Ma called Lin Qiaosong to complain. Lin Qiaosong learned that Zhang Mingquan was harassing Song Meijuan. He immediately came to the nightclub to find Song Meijuan.
When he learned that Zhang Mingquan was in the restroom, he went to find Zhang Mingquan to assert his authority. Upon entering, he saw Zhang Mingquan knocked out. He quietly closed the door and left.
