State banquet chef Liang Guofu was tricked by his nephew Liang Chenghu into coming back to save the restaurant for a year, but his three million dividend was cut down to just eight thousand. Angered and resigned, he took over the near-bankrupt century-old restaurant Guiyuanju, and shot to fame overnight with the lost legendary dish boiled cabbage. Liang Chenghu used chemical flavors and dead seafood for unscrupulous management, leading to food poisoning, a nine million compensation claim, bankruptcy, and divorce. Liang Chenghu snatched his son's lifesaving money and pushed down his own father, and was arrested for committing violence with a stick on his wedding day. Liang Guofu passed Guiyuanju on to his son Liang Chengyuan, the company went public with a market value exceeding twenty billion, and Liang Guofu retired to enjoy his old age in peace.
