Distant Relative at the Banquet
Gu Hongyuan attended his granddaughter's engagement banquet hiding his identity as the founder of Qingyu, only to be publicly disdained by his eldest granddaughter Qingyan. The Lu family slandered him for theft, and Qingyan even urged her grandfather to open his bag to prove his innocence. With a deadened heart, Gu Hongyuan produced a waiver statement, which Qingyan angrily signed. When his identity was exposed at the roadshow site, she realized she had missed out on seventeen percent of the group's shares. In contrast, the second granddaughter Qingning started her business without relying on family background, adhered to her bottom line, and was selected as the group's successor. Seeing through family affection, the old man dashingly walked away to New Zealand to spend his remaining years in peace.

Itinago ni Gu Hongyuan ang kanyang pagkakakilanlan bilang tagapagtatag ng Qingyu upang dumalo sa piging ng pakikipag-engagement ng kanyang apo, ngunit hayagang hinamak ng kanyang panganay na apo na si Qingyan. Pinaratangan siya ng pamilyang Lu na magnanakaw, at hinimok pa ni Qingyan ang kanyang lolo na buksan ang bag nito upang patunayan ang kanyang kawalang-sala. Sa pagbagsak ng loob, inilabas ni Gu Hongyuan ang pahayag ng pagsuko, na nilagdaan ni Qingyan sa galit. Nang mabunyag ang kanyang pagkakakilanlan sa roadshow, doon lamang niya nalaman na pinalagpas niya ang labing-pitong porsyento ng mga sapi ng grupo. Sa kabaliktaran, ang ikalawang apo na si Qingning ay nagsimula ng negosyo nang hindi umaasa sa yaman ng pamilya, nanindigan sa kanyang prinsipyo, at napili bilang kahalili ng grupo. Nakita ng matanda ang kawalan ng totoong pagmamahal ng pamilya, at malaya siyang lumayo patungong New Zealand upang ipagpatuloy ang kanyang buhay doon.
