Su Yao, a gifted textile and dyeing expert, risked her life to secure a massive military supply contract for 100,000 bolts of fabric for Huacheng Brocade House. Yet over a mere 50 taels of silver in hospitality expenses, the proprietor betrayed her and demoted her without cause. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Su Yao angrily resigned and joined Dingfeng Brocade House. With her exceptional craftsmanship and mastery of contract regulations, she successfully reclaimed the lucrative contract and made a triumphant comeback. Meanwhile, Huacheng Brocade House, led by a narrow-minded and ungrateful proprietor, continued losing its key employees until its cash flow collapsed and the business ultimately went bankrupt.
