Chen Fan earns a net profit of 1.8 million yuan in one year running his restaurant. He gives every employee a 30,000-yuan year-end bonus and even lends 200,000 yuan to save the head chef Zhou Daqiang's wife's life. Unexpectedly, Zhou Daqiang leads the entire staff in an ultimatum, demanding 50% of the profits or threatening to quit together and open a competing restaurant across the street. Chen Fan agrees to their resignations on the spot. He then takes over four neighboring closed-down storefronts and expands his restaurant fivefold. On opening day, Zhou Daqiang confidently waits for customers, only to watch numerous diners walk straight into Chen Fan's new restaurant. In the end, Zhou Daqiang's restaurant goes out of business, while the only employee who stayed, Aunt Zhang, is promoted to manager with a monthly salary of 18,000 yuan.
