"My Name Is Zhao Chu Xi" Episode 25: Business Wins, Old Wounds, and One Very Bad Hair Day
Let’s talk about drama—the kind involving power plays, awkward exes, and a villain whose haircut deserves its own trigger warning.
Sanjiang Group’s Comeback Tour
Zhao Chuxi’s Sanjiang Group is officially out of the financial woods after sealing multiple strategic partnerships. Riding high, our boy Chuxi gazes at a snow-blanketed countryside like it’s his personal chessboard, muttering, “Not bad. Keep going!” (No, this isn’t a Succession crossover—just a man and his snow-induced ambition.)
Meanwhile, back in Beicheng, Lin Sanwu rolls out the red carpet (metaphorically) for Lu Yao’s return… and by “red carpet,” we mean he fried his hair into a perm for the occasion. Lu Yao, bless her, stifles laughter and orders him to fix it post-dinner. Prior to this wholesome chaos, Qingyi drags Chuxi to a ski resort, sparking nostalgia about his childhood snow-sliding antics. Cue Chuxi’s epiphany: “Let’s build a ski resort in my hometown so snow doesn’t ruin lives!” Qingyi, already three steps ahead, unveils a limited-edition snowboard… and then—dun-dun-DUN—enter the villains.
Ski Resort Showdown (With Extra Cringe)
Xu Shaoqing, smugness incarnate, struts in with Su Xiluo on his arm—only to crash into Chuxi’s “surprise.” Qingyi, queen of petty, introduces herself as Chuxi’s fiancée while Xiluo practically melts into the floorboards. Shaoqing tries to flex by buying the snowboard, but the clerk drops the mic: “Sorry, sir. This store belongs to Chairman Zhao.” Burn.
Humiliated, Shaoqing lashes out at Xiluo later, alternating between beating her and creepy-apologizing. Xiluo, now a shell of herself, sinks into a bathtub, contemplating existence. (We’re officially out of popcorn and into therapy territory.)
Chuxi’s Revenge Tour: Phase One
Chuxi isn’t sweating Shaoqing’s tantrums. After learning Su Xiluo’s brother Su Qin secretly tied Luo Shen Group’s survival to Sanjiang’s investments, he smirks, “I’m after the puppeteers, not the puppets.” Queue the Avengers-style team-up with Qingyi and Er Pang as Chuxi marches back to Jiacheng—the city where he once ate dirt.
Emotional Whiplash Hour
In Jiacheng, Chuxi visits his late brother Han Sanqiang’s grave, reminiscing about their hustling days. Qingyi, ever the emotional support MVP, pats his shoulder. Later, Lin Sanwu announces Lin Corporation’s stake in Sanjiang… and reveals his grandma’s house (Chuxi’s old crash pad) is spotless thanks to Lu Yao. Cue Sanwu and Lu Yao’s budding romance—because even in a revenge drama, someone’s gotta flirt.
Final Boss Alert
Chuxi’s endgame? Taking down Zhang Sheng Bai. But first, he’ll need Qingyi’s brains, Er Pang’s muscle, and maybe another snowboard.
Spoiler Snacks:
- Xu Shaoqing’s abuse storyline takes a darker turn. Xiluo’s breaking point nears.
- Lin Sanwu’s perm might be gone, but his chaotic energy? Eternal.
- That ski resort better have a VIP section for Chuxi’s future victory lap.
TL;DR: Power moves, perm regrets, and a bathtub of despair—this episode’s got it all. Next stop: Revenge City.
