If It Breaks, It's On Me
Cotton shoes made by veteran shoemaker Zhou Licheng cost sixty-eight a pair, with the promise 'if it breaks, it's on me.' However, Chen Guangli across the way sold his for thirty-nine point nine with a buy-two-get-one-free deal, snatching away the business, the cleaning company's order, and even failing to protect the shop Lao Zhou had guarded for twenty years. After a freezing rain, Lao Duan, wearing the new shoes, fell and fractured a bone, while Lao Zhou's earlier warning was dismissed as jealousy of a peer. Facing buck-passing and suppression, he pursued the matter to the end with the broken sole and inspection report. From being disliked for being expensive to regaining trust, Zhou Licheng proved with a pair of shoes that prices can be pushed down, but a person's conscience cannot shrink along with it.

Kasut kapas yang dibuat oleh tukang kasut tua Zhou Licheng berharga enam puluh lapan sepasang, dengan berkata 'jika patah, ia tanggungjawab saya', tetapi Chen Guangli di seberang menjualnya dengan harga tiga puluh sembilan perpuluhan sembilan berserta beli dua percuma satu, merampas perniagaan dan pesanan syarikat pembersihan, malah gagal mempertahankan kedai yang dijaga oleh Lao Zhou selama dua puluh tahun. Selepas hujan air batu, Lao Duan yang memakai kasut baru terjatuh dan patah tulang, manakala amaran awal Lao Zhou dianggap sebagai cemburu terhadap rakan sekerja. Menghadapi sikap tolak-menolak dan tekanan, dia mengejar perkara itu hingga ke penghujung dengan tapak yang patah dan laporan pemeriksaan. Daripada dibenci kerana mahal hinggalah memenangi semula kepercayaan, Zhou Licheng membuktikan dengan sepasang kasut bahawa harga boleh diturunkan, tetapi hati nurani seseorang tidak boleh menyusut bersama-sama.
