Lin Mo, a genius chip designer, completes a core manufacturing process, only to have his team leader, Sun Gang, steal the credit and publicly humiliate him. When Lin Mo resigns, he leaves a trap behind. Sun Gang deletes the critical thermal compensation parameters, causing the mass-production equipment to be scrapped and a hundred-billion-yuan order to fall through. Lin Mo establishes a new studio and becomes a core partner at Xinghe Technology. He then tricks Sun Gang into stealing fake process parameters and selling them for a fortune, leaving him disgraced and bankrupt. The former company turns to its rival with the obsolete process, only to drive that company into bankruptcy as well. In the end, Lin Mo acquires Sun Gang's luxurious mansion and reaches the pinnacle of the industry.
