No, not that he can separate business from personal but that he didn’t discuss things with JX before it all came out. Even if they weren’t dating, she’s a business partner and CEO. While he openly talked about plans with Han Hai CEO, he didn’t do that with JX when it concerns her company.

Guangsha has Xiao Bai, AI technology which is what Tongke needs to compete against Dongyang. Guangsha is also more developed/established and worth more than XingChen, a new start up, so it was a no brainer on Tongke’s side to take Guangsha’s shares. It wasn’t for ZD.

That’s what his grandfather was worried about. That’s why I feel that the betrayal/backstabbing was on both sides and they needed the break up to have a cleaner start.

His gentleness is his relationship with JX but not in business.

🤣 Xiao Shu and ShenShen. He already called her SunShifu..

He has just a bit more to have veto power. When he gets the shares from Tongke in exchange for Guangsha shares, he has majority and can decide on the merger. JX’s agreement is then only a formality but not a necessity.

Th VP position allowed her to grow because she eventually becomes CEO. I don’t disagree that what she did was stupid and based on emotions but I can also see where her emotions are coming from. Yes he let her run XingChen on her own but once again, he already had plans for XingChen from the beginning that he was hiding from her. He just couldn’t execute it because he needed her to prove herself to his grandfather and he didn’t want to snuff out her dreams too early. I don’t think she would have done what she did or feel the way she did if HT told her before outsiders did and basically involved her in the direction of the merger. When they talk through things, she sees the perspectives and is able to control her emotions and will make the right choices. What happened between them was needed so they can have a clean start again. It was also a lesson learned for her on the ruthlessness of the big business world. HT would have killed off XingChen before it even started if she accepted HY’s investment offer. I’m waiting to see if they bring that up.

Either way, I love both characters and can’t wait for them to get through the break up.

😆 the bedroom in the apartment reminds me of the description of the office bedroom with the high windows. I remember she wanted the window curtains closed and he didn’t 😈

Remember he hasn’t discussed anything with her so in her mind, she was making one last ditch effort to keep her company. He was always going to take her company away from her so they basically backstabbed each other. He can separate the business from personal so didn’t even think about a break up.

He doesn’t have the hidden office bedroom in the drama.

The only thing in my opinion that he did wrong is not discussing the idea of the Han Hai Xing Chen merger with JX when he knows how much Xing Chen means to her. He literally has her in the palm of his hands and could have talked her into it but he’s using it in the game with his cousin and doesn’t want her to see that ruthless side of him. That’s the difference in their personalities. He’s able to separate business and personal and she is still figuring that out.

Han Hai boss is basically saying that Donyang board of directors is not going to allow room for 2 companies that are the same meaning HT is going to have to do something about XingChen. HT’s solution is to merge HanHai and XingChen…but he hasn’t told JX yet. Basically planning everything to do with JX’s business without JX’s knowledge.

No, he works for a different AI company that Donyang will collaborate with. JX, as a VP, meets with him about the collaboration. This is during the break-up after the merger where JX accepts a position at HanHai XingChen.

Business

It’s more about whether JX can handle the wolves at the door and the pressure that comes with being the wife of the Chairman of a large conglomerate. There’s a lot of expectations from the Grandfather’s generation. That’s where his concern comes from. He wants to make sure that whoever stands by HT doesn’t run for the hills when the pressure gets tough. Also, he doesn’t want someone that HT cares too much for that he’ll overlook his responsibilities as future Chairman. It’s why people in those positions marry daughters of other conglomerates because they are kind of trained for it. Usually very businesslike relationships where both parties benefit and in some cases, merge into an even bigger conglomerate.

JX has the guts to stand by HT. Their only issue is going to be when the Han Hai/Xing Chen stuff comes out and not anything to do with the Grandpa’s worries.

Also, the part where ZD is talking to JX. She is planting seeds of doubt regarding the business deals.

They didn’t meet directly…but were in the same place at the same time in childhood.

Which episode?

I don’t think it will take that long because they also adapted the epilogues.

In a way they kind of betray each other. It’s a business issue. HT already planned to have XingChen merge into Han Hai (XingChen’s competitor) cause he owns Han Hai but he never let JX into this plan. So it will be a shock for her and she’ll test him and when he doesn’t come clean, she’ll go with another investor during 2nd round of investing. The investor happens to be Tongke, Dongyang’s competitor, to kind of even the playing field in her mind. HT is thinking it will preserve XingChen but he doesn’t communicate that so she’ll misunderstand.
