Ji Changan partnered with Han Tiesheng to run a boxed meal stall for construction workers. After their business thrived, Han Tiesheng was instigated to seize the stall and start a business alone. Lacking connections, stable supply chains and knowledge of construction site rules, he cut corners and operated against regulations. Soon he faced bounced payments, supply cuts and forced eviction from the site, winding up heavily in debt and losing all his property. Ji Changan stuck to honest principles and made a spectacular comeback. Starting from scratch to pay off his massive debts, Han Tiesheng finally realized that integrity and compliance mattered far more than cooking skills.
