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.

Ang mga sapatos na gawa ng matandang sapatero na si Zhou Licheng ay nagkakahalaga ng animnapu't walong piso bawat pares, na nagsasabing 'kung mabali, sagot ko,' ngunit si Chen Guangli sa kabila ay nagbenta ng tatlumpu't siyam na punto siyam na may kasamang bili-dalawa-libre-isa, at inagawan siya ng negosyo at ng order ng kumpanya sa paglilinis, at hindi na rin naisalba ang tindahang binantayan ni Lao Zhou sa loob ng dalawampung taon. Pagkatapos ng yelo-ulan, si Lao Duan na suot ang bagong sapatos ay nadapa at nabalian ng buto, habang ang naunang babala ni Lao Zhou ay itinuring na inggit sa kasamahan. Humarap sa pag-iwas at panisi, dinala niya ang sirang swelas at ulat ng pagsusuri upang imbestigahan hanggang sa dulo. Mula sa pagiging ayawan dahil mahal hanggang sa muling pagbawi ng tiwala, pinatunayan ni Zhou Licheng sa pamamagitan ng isang pares ng sapatos na ang presyo ay maaaring ibaba, ngunit ang konsensya ng tao ay hindi dapat lumiit kasama nito.
