The "Zhengde Supermarket" run by Chen Shouzheng has an annual profit of 60 million. Seven days before the lease expires, the landlord Zhao Shirong skyrockets the annual rent from 8 million to 24 million, betting that he will not be able to part with the business. What's even more fatal is that Chen Shouzheng found out that the lease for the Life Plaza store three years ago was privately signed by the purchasing director Wang Lei. The rent was raised to three times the market price. Wang Lei received a 200,000 kickback from the landlord, and internal and external attacks forced him into a desperate situation. The landlord sent an intermediary to the door three times, promising to reduce the original price and compensate for five million in renovation costs. The financial director, with red eyes, urged, "There is still money to be made on the books, but what will happen to the three hundred employees and their families if the store is closed?" However, Chen Shouzheng stared at the empty figures in the ledger and realized that accepting this deal would be equivalent to stamping a legal seal on extortion and betrayal with his own hands. Calling the police to arrest Wang Lei means that the family scandal will be publicized, core suppliers will be cut off, and the media will be plagued by negative news. If the police are not called, fairness and justice will be lost, and moths will continue to eat away at the foundation of the company. Chen Shouzheng was silent for three minutes at the executive meeting, rapped the table with his knuckles, and spit out two words: "Close the store." The last signboard crashed to the ground in the darkness, and Chen Shouzheng turned around and walked into the night - Zhao Shirong made a miscalculation. The most valuable thing was never the shop, but his business faith that he had not let go for twenty years; the moral premise of this story is: Loss of fairness and justice is a bottom-line issue that cannot be compromised regardless of the amount of money. The real asset is never steel and concrete, but the invisible barrier built by the human heart and the bottom line.
