Shen Yanzhou partnered with his childhood friend Zhou Qiming to open a small shop specializing in warm, comforting meals. When their monthly revenue exceeded one million yuan, Zhou Qiming broke their profit-sharing agreement and kicked him out with just 80,000 yuan. Shen Yanzhou set up a porridge stall at the wet market, winning back loyal customers by remembering their dietary restrictions. Without Shen Yanzhou overseeing the kitchen, Zhou Qiming's food lost its original taste, franchisees withdrew, and his business began to crumble. Attempts to cut off ingredients, undercut prices, and smear Shen Yanzhou's reputation all failed. Meanwhile, Shen Yanzhou secured a contract with a community care center through his meticulous meal portioning, expanded into Shen's Comfort Kitchen, and won corporate catering partnerships. When Zhou Qiming finally swallowed his pride and asked for help, Shen Yanzhou offered only a few pointers and refused to return. Staying true to his original belief that good food must come before business, Shen Yanzhou steadily built his own success.
