Competitors Steal Business, Dirty Tricks Smash Livelihoods
Chen Mo, a newcomer to the county town's market, builds a smart cold-chain system, drawing customers away from established merchant Zhao Tiezhu. Jealous and resentful, Zhao reports Chen for allegedly violating regulations by installing pipes in a public area. Chen follows the rules, dismantles the entire refrigeration system overnight, and transfers his inventory in advance. Just then, a torrential rainstorm causes a citywide blackout, cutting power to Zhao Tiezhu's outdated cold-storage facility. All 300,000 yuan worth of seafood inside spoils. Facing devastating losses, Zhao pressures Chen to reinstall the pipes and is forced to publicly admit that his report was false and pay 45,000 yuan out of his own pocket for the reinstallation. Still harboring a grudge, he later sends people to plant expired seafood in Chen's cold-storage facility to frame him. However, the entire incident is captured on surveillance cameras, and Zhao is ultimately taken away by the police.

Chen Mo, pendatang baru di pasar kota kabupaten, membangun sistem rantai dingin pintar dan berhasil menarik pelanggan Zhao Tiezhu, pedagang lama yang sudah mapan. Dilanda rasa iri, Zhao melaporkan Chen dengan identitas aslinya atas tuduhan memasang pipa secara ilegal di area umum. Chen mematuhi peraturan, membongkar seluruh sistem pendingin dalam semalam, dan memindahkan persediaannya lebih awal. Tepat saat itu, hujan deras menyebabkan seluruh kota mengalami pemadaman listrik. Gudang pendingin tua milik Zhao Tiezhu pun kehilangan pasokan listrik, sehingga seluruh hasil laut senilai 300.000 yuan membusuk. Karena mengalami kerugian besar, Zhao memaksa Chen memasang kembali pipa tersebut. Namun, ia justru terpaksa mengakui di depan umum bahwa laporannya palsu dan mengeluarkan 45.000 yuan dari kantong sendiri untuk memasang ulang pipa. Meski demikian, ia masih menyimpan dendam dan menyuruh orang memasukkan hasil laut kedaluwarsa ke gudang pendingin Chen untuk menjebaknya. Seluruh kejadian itu ternyata terekam kamera pengawas, dan pada akhirnya Zhao dibawa pergi oleh polisi.
