Wang Qiang partners with his brother-in-law, Chen Jian, to run a rural renovation business. Chen Jian provides the money while Wang Qiang does the work, and they agree to split the profits fifty-fifty. Thanks to Wang Qiang's professional skills, their renovation company earns a net profit of 3.68 million yuan in one year, but Chen Jian gives him only 80,000 yuan. Desperate to earn enough money for his blind daughter Mengmeng's treatment, Wang Qiang leaves and starts his own renovation team. Without Wang Qiang, Chen Jian resorts to dishonest speculation and causes the Zhao family's ancestral hall to collapse. Meanwhile, Wang Qiang's exceptional craftsmanship earns him the favor of influential benefactors and a major contract for renovation projects throughout the township. From then on, his business flourishes.
