At eleven at night, Su Nian leaves the office, exhausted, and unexpectedly runs into Chen Guodong at the convenience store downstairs, waiting for coffee. He is the procurement vice president she has been trying to meet for three months without success. She takes a deep breath and hands him a hot coffee, saying just three things: "You're waiting for more than coffee. You're waiting for someone you can trust. The proposal I worked through the night on can cut your costs by thirty percent. But more importantly, I know your biggest headache isn't the price. It's the mole." Chen Guodong narrows his eyes and decides on the spot to give her five minutes. Those three sentences help Su Nian land an annual contract worth tens of millions, but they also send her crashing into a trap jointly laid by the company's executives and a competitor. Then new Director Lu Zeyan holds down her contract at the crucial moment and says coldly, "You can't sign this deal. If you do, you're finished." Only then does Su Nian realize that what she thought was a lifeline is actually bait leading into the abyss.
