At a high-society financial banquet, Li Yue is embarrassed by his father, Li Zhongliang's, humble background and simple demeanor, as Li Zhongliang is a chef. Guests, led by Elder Wu and Xiao Ran, publicly mock Li Zhongliang for his low origins and petty behavior, instilling in Li Yue the class concept that "one's background determines their potential." Just as Elder Wu announces an impending "once-in-a-century bull market" and encourages everyone to leverage their investments, Li Zhongliang, who sees through the scheme, uses his experience to identify it as a fraud. He urgently stops his son, Li Yue, advising him to liquidate all positions immediately. However, Li Yue completely disbelieves him, thinking his father is pretending to know what he doesn't, and the father-son conflict escalates.
