I think RYS is just jealous. She’s a maid’s daughter, and grandma probably never gave her mum any importance, and she knows she’ll never be treated on par with the others, especially since she doesn’t have a single talent to her name. All she can do is latch onto people like a leech just to survive.

I knew homegirl knows Yun Shu is a goddamn liar!

Can you spoil it for me?

You are right about Saudi! And dont get me wrong, I loved the romance part of it. I would love to have someone like Yusen pursue me. But its hard to ignore the propaganda part once you start noticing it in Cdramas.

Spoil it for me!

Got it! I always found him suspicious. Plus he presented all the tea knowledge to the Rongs. Also grandma made a remark about how he resembles someone she knew to her attendant lady... I think she knows his origin. If she does, she is stupid to harbor and favor the snake that he is.

That was exactly my thought. And they had him in the general ward, they were also trying to show how good healthcare is that even a high flying CEO can go to general ward and receive excellent care!

I think its their way of telling their people the progress they have made to quell any ill feelings they might have for the party considering China went through a real estate bubble that popped, then the unemployment issues they are facing currently. I think the party is trying to show that although real estate popped, there are other sectors that are or will do well and everything is A-Ok! If you recall, Xiguang retorts to Rong or someone about how people need to stay back in industries that arent doing well even though real estate is booming (back in the early 2000s as shown in the show).

That Yan guy seems such an intense green flag that he is definitely a red flag!

White guy???

I am familiar with both techs and what they show in the show is close to accurate granted the story is fictional. But my point is, the Zhong Guo #1 is a bit too on the nose for me. And honestly, showing so much of the business and technical side even when it is not directly relevant to the story also makes it very propaganda-ish!
China is having reverse brain drain which is good for them but showing a white partner for the professor also moving to China with her for research was also a very deliberate choice. And usually, they used to shy away from using real city names in most dramas, but now they are openly highlighting cities and landmarks. Another piece that felt like propaganda was when Yusen tells Xiguang's dad that he should go to public hospital vs private. In most countries, private healthcare usually provides better services as they attract better talent because of higher pay compared to public healthcare.

I finished watching Episode 13 and I so wish Gao Feng is Wu's real child and FeiFei is Qu Meng's if they are not twins already! That would be such a slap in his face...

Yes! Thank you though! I found it using ChatGPT :P

I loved the romance and relationships part but the whole photovoltic and brain research part looked a little too propogandaish! For those who read the novel, does the author talk so much about their jobs?

Where do you see the schedule?

Oh wow! That is indeed some crazy family tree. Have you read the novel? Can you spoil it for me in brief? Thanks

Tell me more!!!

Everyone saying the FL is naive but lets not forget the dad is a master manipulator. He didnt come up from shoddy background to a rich dude by muscle and brains alone. Although Xu started the business, Wu made it what it was, he was hired specifically for his people's skills. Plus it looks like he has genuine affection for his daughter, so its not strange FeiFei is having a hard time believing he is a vile human.

Yeah, the song and the necklace are too significant to ignore. I’m not sure whether the leads are twins, or if Qu Meng had Gao Fend with the reporter and then, after the reporter dies/is murdered, ended up with Wu to survive and had FeiFei. It’s possible she later tried to reconnect with or find Gao Feng, and that’s what led to her being murdered and buried inside the statue.

Part of me wants to believe FeiFei is Wu’s biological daughter; otherwise, his level of affection doesn’t quite add up. He doesn’t seem like the type, unlike Gao Feng’s father, who would take in a non-biological child and treat her so lovingly. Still, I could be wrong.

I’m fairly certain the woman in the wheelchair is Ms. Hong. Also, as I mentioned before, Gao Feng’s adopted mother is probably the woman who discovered the tapes in the room. She clearly knows more than she’s letting on.

I also suspect Su Min’s senior/boss was involved with the club. He comes across as sleazy, and Wu seems to recognize him from back in the days, which feels intentional.

Does anyone know the title of the song that Qu Meng sings?
