Seeing that "City within a City" was about to enter the main topic, I didn't expect that only 1 episode was updated.
I really can't get enough of it, it's really unsatisfying.
However, it was this episode that sent the show's stats soaring again. On the third day of the broadcast, the ratings broke through 2.4 in one fell swoop, and it seems that it is about to break through the 3 mark!
Zhao Hui is obviously shaken by now.
Zhou Lin's sudden appearance was like a clear stream pouring into a pool of stagnant water, waking up Zhao Hui, who had been silent for many years. The sudden arrival of the new governor was a key turning point for Zhao Hui's complete collapse.
Everyone thinks that Zhao Hui should be promoted, and even he himself, as usual, has not been able to raise the funds needed for his daughter's surgery for many years.
As a result, the refusal to flatter and violate the rules gives others an opportunity to take advantage of.
As Su Jianren observed, Zhao Hui's face revealed a clear "I want to climb up" ambition.
Although Zhao Hui grew from a poor boy who lived alone to a respected vice president, he did not see this as the ideal end goal.
However, when he witnessed the ugly faces of these people secretly colluding, his faith completely collapsed.
In addition, he continues to challenge Zhao Hui's principles and his good big brother -
Goh Hsien Loong.
I think that the only person who deliberately wants to pull Zhao Hui into the quagmire is his eldest brother.
Ng Hsien Loong: Gave away money three times in a row, and finally succeeded
I have to admit that the reason why Wu Xianlong has become the most insidious boss in the whole drama is no accident.
When Su Jianren didn't like Zhao Hui's words and deeds, he could bluntly sneer and say something.
When Xie Zhiyuan begged Zhao Hui to do something, he always took the trouble to stick to other people's cold faces, while Wu Xianlong was able to make Zhao Hui willingly obey him in the most relaxed and natural way.
The first time I sent money, it was a quiet advance payment for the operation.
Wu Xianlong's side planned a drug experiment project, which made Zhao Hui mistakenly think that he had won the jackpot. His daughter was selected as an experimental subject and could be operated on free of charge.
As a result, the nurse inadvertently debunked that the agreement was inconsistent with the doctor's assistant's statement, and she was probably worried that the patient's family would be deceived, so she directly took out the proof of payment.
In the signature column of the transferor, the name of "He Xiaoshun" is prominently written.
Zhao Hui stared at the evidence, lost in thought, and then turned to look for the office that had mentioned experiments, only to find that it had become empty overnight.
Even though Zhao Hui knew in his heart that these mischiefs were the work of his hateful big brother, he still had to respectfully address him as big brother on the phone.
Wu Xianlong realized that he couldn't convince the other party, so he changed the topic and said: Come and play when you have time, big brother misses you very much!
Zhao Hui: Okay, big brother!
No matter how strong the previous righteous indignation was, as soon as the eldest brother spoke, Zhao Hui immediately changed his attitude, and there was a big change of one hundred and eighty degrees.
The second bribe, using a bitter trick, pretending to be pitiful.
Wu Xianlong sat on the hospital bed with a grim face, his hands trembling and handing out the bank card, but Zhao Hui firmly refused.
However, look at the miserable appearance of the eldest brother.
Zhao Hui was stunned by three consecutive questions, he couldn't say a word, and even put down his pushing hand.
Can Zhao Hui not understand the meaning of Ming Huanghuang's handing over the card and sending money twice in a row?
However, this approach made him feel very difficult.
The third bribe is to take advantage of loopholes.
Miao Che's wife, Ma Li, posted Ruirui's situation on a crowdfunding platform in the United States, hoping that donations from all walks of life would raise enough money for the operation.
Goh's reaction to the original book was exactly right, and he disguised his personal funds as donations and transferred them to Rui Rui's bank card in batches, which he operated through overseas accounts.
When Zhao Hui realized, everything was irretrievable.
Therefore, Zhao Hui had no choice but to help Wu Xianlong's crumbling company, thus completely embarking on the road of no return.
tried his best to send money three times, in order to make Zhao Hui accept it willingly.
Is this still the so-called "for the sake of children"?
Perhaps Rui Rui's condition is deteriorating at this moment, which makes Wu Xianlong feel lucky.
Wu Xianlong can be said to be the most ruthless character in the whole play.
And another female character who looks inconspicuous in the play is the most sympathetic character in the play -
Tian Xiaohui
At first glance, Zhou Lin seems even more sympathetic.
He has a slender figure and outstanding looks, but he can only act as a stand-in, hovering between two older men.
One person came up and launched a fierce offensive with a smooth tongue, while the other person ignored and watched coldly, but he still had to "work overtime" if he drank too much.
Zhou Lin's child was used as a means of coercion by Xie Zhiyuan, and to make matters worse, she was still a single mother, which made her even more sympathetic.
In fact, Zhou Lin has at least one more Zhao Hui, and Tian Xiaohui is the sympathetic character, and her personality has changed dramatically.
Tian Xiaohui's snobbery has long been hinted at.
Tian Xiaohui had a quarrel with her mother because of her job search and her job, so she went to find her boyfriend and said, "You can support me."
When Tao Wuji asked if he would like to spend time with an ordinary employee, Tian Xiaohui did not refute the "hard days", but asked "can't you let me live a good life".
I haven't found a job yet, so I actually pick and choose the tellers in the Bank of Shanghai?
At this time, Tian Xiaohui and her boyfriend were in a sweet moment. When her identity changes, it is likely that she will no longer be satisfied with her boyfriend's "bluntness".
In the novel, after Tian Xiaohui broke up with Tao Wuji, she threw herself into the arms of Wu Xianlong's son, and finally followed a rich second generation, but the relationship still ended in vain.
The results were far from what was expected, and there were two main reasons -
Tian Xiaohui's vanity is one of them.
In the love stage, Tian Xiaohui frequently hinted to her partner that she expected to live a good life, which was quite excessive.
In order to be promoted, she chose to accept the practice of secretly spying on Xie Zhiyuan in the workplace. After arriving at the second company, in order to attract the attention of the leadership, she once again unreservedly disclosed those unconfirmed information.
All of this effort is aimed at getting a promotion in order to establish yourself in the company.
When I first joined, I was completely focused on getting promoted, and this "gambler" mentality would eventually collapse.
At the same time, she concealed the fact that she worked overtime all night, but only mentioned the special treatment she received, which was inappropriate.
Tian Xiaohui clearly knows who is supporting her behind this credit, even in the face of her boyfriend's doubts, she will only exaggerate her own contributions, this kind of vanity is too naïve.
Another reason is stupidity.
As soon as he took office, he dared to spy on the high-level officials, which is a matter involving private life, and if something bad is really found, the ugliness of the family must not be publicized. Tian Xiaohui will face the fate of being expelled.
After arriving at the new company, I believed my cousin's words again, and without any scheming, I went straight to the boss's office after making a phone call.
Every move is something that a mature professional would never do.
Tian Xiaohui gave up on Tao Wuji, which shows that she only focuses on immediate interests, lacks long-term considerations, and her values are not correct.
For the sake of money and power, he does not hesitate to sacrifice the bottom line, even including his boyfriend who has loved him for many years.
Willingly used by Shen Jing to provide her with information on the new company and Wu Xianlong's movements, he thought that he was extremely precious.
Tian Xiaohui was used because she was both ambitious and unscrupulous, but her actual ability did not meet her ideal requirements, which was the root of the problem.
epilogue
The various characters in "City within a City" have been vividly displayed by the time the plot progresses to the current stage.
Shen Jing learned more about Wu Xianlong's company through Tian Xiaohui, and their beliefs changed because of this.
At the same time, Xie Zhiyuan cooperated with Wu Xianlong, and Wu Xianlong was about to transfer funds to Zhao Hui in batches, which means that Zhao Hui will inevitably be bound to Xie Zhiyuan.
Although Zhao Hui painfully refused the second bribe, what kind of inner struggle did he experience when he went to find Mr. Ouyang later?
