Sincerity Trampled, the Culinary Master Restarts Life by Setting Up a Street Stall
Award-winning chef Zhou Deshun agrees to his childhood friend Liu Dafu's desperate plea, turning down a high-paying job to transform a restaurant on the verge of bankruptcy into a leading local establishment in exchange for a promised 30% share of the profits. Once business flourishes, Liu goes back on his word, paying Zhou only 6,000 yuan and even withholding part of his wages. Heartbroken, Zhou quits and borrows money to set up a food stall to cover his daughter's surgery expenses. Thanks to his exceptional cooking, the stall becomes a huge success. Without its backbone, the restaurant collapses, and Liu repeatedly begs Zhou to return, only to be rejected. Liu later cheats on his wife with the restaurant manager. His wife divorces him and takes her share of the property, while the manager runs off with the money. The restaurant is sealed, and Liu suffers a sudden stroke. Remembering their past friendship, Zhou advances 100,000 yuan for Liu's surgery, settling their debts once and for all. In the end, Zhou earns the recognition of a major company, and his family's life steadily improves.

Chef terkenal Zhou Deshun, pemenang anugerah emas, menerima rayuan sahabat lamanya, Liu Dafu. Dia menolak pekerjaan bergaji tinggi demi mengubah restoran yang hampir muflis menjadi restoran terkemuka di kawasan itu, dengan perjanjian pembahagian keuntungan sebanyak 30 peratus. Namun, selepas perniagaan berkembang maju, Liu memungkiri janji dan hanya membayar Zhou sebanyak 6,000 yuan, malah memotong gajinya. Kecewa dan tawar hati, Zhou berhenti kerja lalu meminjam wang untuk membuka gerai makanan bagi menampung kos pembedahan anak perempuannya. Berkat kemahiran memasaknya yang hebat, gerainya menjadi sangat laris. Tanpa tonggak utama itu, restoran tersebut akhirnya runtuh. Liu berkali-kali merayu agar Zhou kembali bekerja, tetapi ditolak. Kemudian, Liu menjalinkan hubungan sulit dengan pengurus restoran. Isterinya menceraikannya dan mengambil bahagiannya daripada harta bersama, manakala pengurus itu melarikan diri dengan wang restoran. Restoran tersebut disita, dan Liu tiba-tiba diserang strok. Demi mengenang persahabatan lama, Zhou mendahulukan 100,000 yuan untuk membiayai pembedahan Liu, sekali gus menyelesaikan segala persengketaan mereka. Akhirnya, sebuah syarikat besar mengiktiraf kebolehan Zhou, dan kehidupan keluarganya semakin makmur.
