Her Blaze Episode 21

Down but not out — good people can have game

The battle for Bosi continues. I would like PengYu to get his justice but he still comes across more as a petulant child. LiangLiang has shattered him. While he waits for his ace, Liang Liang has a press conference saying Bai stock will support Bosi. She and Gma are trying to force PengYu to give his shares to them. He is highly encouraged to back down. Pengyu finally sees the B side of LiangLiang. He saw her the most clearly, but even he overestimated having a 1% interest in her heart. She has successfully burned this bridge and for the first time, might have even harbored a few seconds of regret. Since she saved the tearful look til after she departed, it might even have been genuine. Mr Li has game. He is not as cowed by Jiang as everybody thinks. He knew what would happen with his money. He funded YuCi’s projects and Jiang diverted the funds. YuCi confronts him directly. Jiang and LiangLiang always expect their stepping stones to be too shattered to retaliate. They always make sure to have the upper hand to prevent that possibility. When she confronted Jiang about diverting the funds from her project, she told him bluntly he just used her to get the funds he needed for Bosi acquisition. He didn’t bother to deny it but he was on the defensive to justify his ‘diversion’ of funds and promised her projects after Bosi purchase. YuCi reminds him that since his faith is only in numbers not people, she is now aware of his real position and that no faith in him is possible. She leaves for plan B. Unlike most others he conducts business with, Li is probably pleasantly surprised when YuCi apologizes and admits Jiang took his backing for Bosi. She lets him know that her next move may be harmful to Lysen and apologizes. The one thing she has never wavered on is that her only interest is funding these two projects. She has no interest in the company’s machinations for Bosi. Here I was pleasantly surprised when he knew what would happen when he promised her the funding. He accepted that loss to have YuCi see Jiang’s dealings clearly. He is satisfied that this will bring YuCi to his side. This was his win/win scenario that LiangLiang thought she was providing. The Mastermind has a hidden fund that he gives to YuCi. Mr Zhou let her know of its existence and she has asked mastermind to give it to her. I mocked the existence of these three for conveniently existing to help her, but I have to confess they are becoming my favorite sidekicks. Beauty Pearl society approach PengYu with 4% shares and tells him a woman will further assist. YuCi is ready to have a chat with him. They are aligning to help him avenge his father. Mr Jiang gave two letters to an aid if he didn’t make it out of the building. One to his wife and one to his lawyer. For the first time he might recognize his match or better in a business deal and he is staying prepared. What I found interesting is his cobra chair did not seem so impressive or dominant when she was in the room with him. She quietly deflects his power and reminds him of his place in the scheme of things when she exits the room. I am sure she will toss some numbers his way since that’s what he values. PengYu is surprised that YuCi has an ace. She reminds him that good people are just more careful in using them. That does not mean they don’t have them. They are getting ready to have a chat when the episode ends.
