The Ace Chef Resigns, and the Heartless Boss Regrets It Too Late
Lu Zhou, the award-winning head chef of Linjiang Grand Hotel, single-handedly generates 300 million yuan in annual revenue, yet receives a mere 3,000 yuan as his year-end bonus. To make matters worse, his boss, Zhang Yuan, publicly humiliates him and belittles his culinary skills. Having reached his breaking point, Lu Zhou decisively resigns. Unable to persuade him to stay, Zhang Yuan demands that he hand over his family's ancestral recipes, but Lu Zhou firmly refuses. After his departure, Zhang Yuan appoints an apprentice to replace him as head chef, causing food quality to plummet and loyal customers to leave in droves. Meanwhile, Lu Zhou opens a small restaurant called Artisan's Haven across the street. Thanks to his dedication to honest, quality cooking, the restaurant is packed from its very first day. Only then does Zhang Yuan panic and realize how badly he misjudged Lu Zhou, regretting his actions far too late.

Lu Zhou, ketua chef bertaraf emas di Linjiang Grand Hotel, berjaya menjana pendapatan tahunan sebanyak 300 juta yuan seorang diri, namun bonus akhir tahunnya hanya 3,000 yuan. Lebih teruk lagi, bosnya, Zhang Yuan, menghinanya di hadapan orang ramai dan memperlekehkan kemahiran memasaknya. Tidak sanggup lagi bersabar, Lu Zhou nekad meletakkan jawatan. Gagal memujuknya untuk terus bekerja, Zhang Yuan pula memaksanya menyerahkan resipi warisan keluarganya, tetapi Lu Zhou menolak dengan tegas. Selepas Lu Zhou pergi, Zhang Yuan melantik seorang pelatih untuk menggantikannya sebagai ketua chef. Akibatnya, kualiti hidangan merosot teruk dan pelanggan tetap mula meninggalkan restoran secara beramai-ramai. Sementara itu, Lu Zhou membuka sebuah restoran kecil bernama 'Jiangxin Ju' di seberang jalan. Berkat masakannya yang penuh keikhlasan dan kemahiran sebenar, restorannya dibanjiri pelanggan sejak hari pertama dibuka. Barulah Zhang Yuan mula panik dan menyesali tindakannya, tetapi semuanya sudah terlambat.
