Episode 20

In 2013, Ningxia University joined hands with the business community and French universities to successfully establish the second wine school in China, and invited industry leader Liu Lijun to give personal guidance.This milestone event marks a solid step taken by the Helan Mountain wine-producing region in cultivating high-end talents, and indicates that wine industry elites with Chinese characteristics and a deep understanding of local terroir will soon enter the international stage.

Liu Lijun’s trip to the production area has attracted widespread attention. Every winery is vying to invite her to visit and look forward to cooperation, and Xingxing Winery is no exception.However, Yu Han set a trap in the contract, causing Annan to fall into the trap accidentally.Qi Lu learned that Ouyang Yixing was troubled by this, and decided to use his mother's deep friendship with Liu Lijun to ask her to come forward to understand the situation.

After Lu Xiaoying learned about this incident, she believed that Liu Lijun was an upright person and was unlikely to be the mastermind behind the scenes. She speculated that it was probably Yu Han who was behind Liu Lijun's back.Although Qi Lu and Ouyang Yixing have confirmed their relationship, Ouyang Yixing has not yet mustered up the courage to confess to his mother.One day, when the two were hugging each other affectionately at the door of their home, they were accidentally caught by Yi Xing's mother.

Liu Lijun was very satisfied with the inspection trip to Ningxia wine producing areas and expressed her willingness to in-depth cooperation with Qin Heming.Accompanied by Wei Xuecheng, she learned in detail about the technical facilities and advanced level of the No. 1 Brewery, and spoke highly of its leading position in the country.Wei Xuecheng was very happy with the praise, so he took out the fine wine collected in the factory and drank it with Liu Lijun.

In view of Liu Lijun's huge influence on Ningxia wine in the South China and even the national market, Xiao Zheng was particularly attentive to this reception, and even ignored the agreement with his girlfriend.Qin Heming didn't want to affect Xiao Zheng's love life, so he persuaded him to put down his work temporarily and let Liu Lijun investigate freely.After all, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and they believe that Liu Lijun will make a wise choice.

After a whole day of inspection, Liu Lijun made a preliminary judgment on Ningxia's wine industry.She instructed Yu Han to sort out the relevant information of Xingxing Winery and hand it to her, and notified her secretary Guo Meng to contact the person in charge of Xingxing Winery.However, although Qi Lu and Annan tried many times, they never succeeded in making an appointment with Liu Lijun.Yu Han obstructed them, causing them to hit the wall repeatedly.

Ouyang Yixing had no choice but to ask Qin Heming for help.Qin Heming said frankly that even if the contract is suspected of fraud, it will be legally binding once signed.Unless conclusive evidence is found that Yu Han framed Annan, once the government intervenes, it is likely to cause irreversible damage to the cooperation between Star Winery and Liu Lijun.Therefore, he said that he could not intervene in the matter for fear of self-defeating.

At this time, Yu Han met with Qiu Yihan in private and took advantage of her eagerness to sign the contract to instigate her to prevent Ouyang Yixing from meeting Liu Lijun in an attempt to jointly destroy Xingxing Winery.However, Qiu Yihan's conscience remained intact and he secretly recorded Yu Han's instigating words and handed the recording to Ouyang Yixing.She believed that Ouyang Yixing would have his own countermeasures.

In order to save the future of his friends and the winery, Ouyang Yixing took the risk to stop Liu Lijun's car and explain the truth to her.Liu Lijun had no knowledge of this and said she would handle the matter personally.At the same time, she still had concerns about cooperating with Xingxing Winery because she knew that Ouyang Yixing had been forced to give up his music dream to run a winery.If her father Ouyang Bin wakes up, the door of Vienna may open to her again, so how should she choose?

In the end, Liu Lijun decided to fire Yu Han and expressed her approval to Ouyang Yixing, Qiu Yihan and others.She gave Star Winery a task to complete sales of two million within the specified time.In order to help Ouyang Yixing achieve her goal as soon as possible, Qiu Yihan took her to the dealer's dinner.The two of them got drunk every day.

Qi Lu was worried about Ouyang Yixing's physical condition and decided to help her deal with various dealers.However, during a social event, he was rushed to the hospital due to gastric bleeding due to excessive drinking.Ouyang Yixing, Qiu Yihan and Annan rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, Qi Lu was not seriously injured.Yi Xing’s mother was quite satisfied with Qi Lu’s impression.After Lu Xiaoying learned that Yi Xing was taking care of Qi Lu in the hospital, she hoped that her son would seize the opportunity.

In the following days, Qin Heming accompanied Liu Lijun to visit various wineries and vineyards, further deepening the trust between them.After Lu Xiaoying came to Yinchuan from Shanghai to visit her father, she went to her husband's grave to express her feelings, and finally put aside the years of resentment and reconciled with Yi Xing's mother.Accompanied by Yi Xing and Qi Lu, she visited Star Winery.

Gao Yujie applied again to work in the brewing workshop, but was still rejected by Qiu Yihan.Qiu Yihan was worried that Gao Yujie would leak the brewing formula of Xingxing Winery.Gao Yujie felt miserable due to Qiu Yihan's suppression, so she took the initiative to seek comfort from her master Shi Mingshan.Shi Mingshan contacted Xie Yong, hoping that he could help his apprentice for him.
