Zhang Shuang, the procurement manager, secures a 4.5 million yuan equipment contract for the factory, only to be publicly challenged by an intern who claims the quoted price is far too high. The project is taken away from him. Believing she has saved 2.3 million yuan, the newcomer signs a contract for refurbished equipment, bringing the production line to a standstill and delaying orders. Zhang Shuang remains silent throughout, neither arguing nor defending himself. Only when the truth comes to light does he use professional reports and inspection data to make everyone see clearly. The real cost is not the figure on the quotation sheet, but the price paid for ignorance.
