Litsun, a government-owned heavy manufacturing company, is facing severe financial difficulties that may lead to bankruptcy. Chairman Fang Rui Zhou believes the only solution is to liquidate all inventory and production equipment and transform the company into a financial institution. This restructuring would result in 6,000 out of 10,000 employees retaining their jobs, albeit with significant changes to their roles. For researcher Wei Cheng, who holds two PhDs, this situation is a major setback as he is on the verge of completing testing on his revolutionary engine that he believes could turn the company's fortunes around. Wei often clashes with welder Jin Yan Zi, who supports the restructuring plan for the greater good of the majority of employees. However, Yan Zi would have to give up her welding job to become a receptionist, jeopardizing her personal aspirations. Yan Zi's boyfriend, who is pursuing his PhD in the United States, plans to return to China to work for Litsun. He becomes involved in the company's future plans after meeting Chairman Fang's daughter overseas. The final decision rests with the provincial department of the party, and everyone is striving to persuade them that their proposed course of action is the most suitable.
