Fang Xiaomi has worked at a bakery for ten years, but because her boss Tian Tiantian forced her to hand over her exclusive recipes and cut her commission, she left in a fit of anger with her own craftsmanship. With no backing and no capital, she and her husband Jianguo started afresh from a small shop. Supply disruptions, customer poaching, malicious inspections, property management harassment, and capital temptations came one after another, yet she always held fast to genuine ingredients and her artisanal bottom line. Others wanted her recipes, but she was determined to rely on her own skills to turn "Xiaomi Bakery" into a signboard truly belonging to herself.
