Wang Jianguo, the descendant of an imperial chef, gave up superior living conditions to work like a horse and ox at Zhou's restaurant for three years without taking a single penny. Unexpectedly, on his birthday, after eating a plate of shredded potatoes, he was accused of waste by Zhou Wenli, who demanded payment for the dish. In a fit of anger, Wang Jianguo left the restaurant, met Xu Simiao, and relied on his culinary skills to make a comeback all the way to the pinnacle of life.
