In 1986, Li Jianguo was working in the canteen of a state-owned factory and discovered that female worker Gu Xiaowen only ate vegetarian dishes for 20 cents per meal due to the heavy family burden. He felt pity for her and always added meat to her with "trembling hands" when making meals. The matter was reported by Qian Desheng and Li Jianguo was suspended. Later it was discovered that Gu Xiaowen was actually the daughter of the factory director. After the factory director knew everything, Li Jianguo was reinstated as deputy director of the logistics department, reformed the canteen, and defeated Qian Desheng and other evil forces.
