While accompanying his wife to the hospital, retired chairman Shen Wanjun is stopped and falsely accused of theft by Jiang Ruoqing, the president's girlfriend. After revealing his identity, he uncovers multiple violations, including the Jiang siblings' improper hiring, the introduction of shell-company suppliers, kickbacks, and deleted evidence. Ma Decai and Hou Likai are held accountable, and the Jiang siblings are handed over to the police. Shen Zhixing is assigned to a year of grassroots rotational work. The group implements comprehensive online record-keeping reforms, commends grassroots employees who uphold principles, and rebuilds a culture in which institutional rules take precedence over personal connections.
