Pei Zheng, the second-largest shareholder of Hongyue Technology, faces a crisis when Qiao Muqing, his business partner's wife, introduces zodiac-based screening and gender quotas into the company's recruitment process. This causes key talent to leave and puts major projects in jeopardy. After his warnings go unheeded, Pei Zheng sells his shares at 30% below their valuation and walks away. Together with seven core employees, he establishes Yaochen Technology, where hiring and management are based strictly on ability. Five years later, Yaochen goes public, while Hongyue collapses into bankruptcy amid managerial chaos. Pei Zheng proves that business success comes from professional standards and sound rules.
