Skilled factory worker Zhao Guixiang leads her younger sister and coworkers to leave the old factory for high pay and enter a new sock factory. The boss readily pays at first, then deducts meal and consumable fees, continually raises the quota, and uses attractive bonuses to keep everyone. Guixiang works desperately hard, but due to the boss's temporary rescheduling for rework, misses out on the bonus. The boss then introduces a new team-linked reward, offering high-paying lead worker conditions to entice her into persuading her coworkers for him. Guixiang refuses to trade companions' grievances for benefits, uses her work log to unite everyone to recover their losses, and ensures the conditions hidden behind the high wages are clearly written on the recruitment paper.
