The booming Ingenious Canteen was evicted by mall manager Zhou Chengye just seven days after opening, solely to make way for a chain restaurant. Su Xiaoman and Shen Maimai moved out of the mall, relying on a second-hand food truck to cook fresh street-side stir-fries. Supporting customer taste customization, they gained a massive following of diners and quickly went viral online. Meanwhile, the heavily hyped chain brand faced endless negative reviews for pre-prepared meals and even exposed expired ingredient issues, ultimately closing its store. With mall traffic plummeting, Zhou Chengye offered generous terms to invite the two back. Facing temptation, they held firm to their bottom line and refused to give up their operational autonomy.
