This episode depicts a severe crisis erupting within Xinghuo Consulting. Chen Zhiqiang leads 42 employees in a collective strike, using it to blackmail Chairman Zhou Xing in an attempt to seize control of the company, while Lin Xiaoman fans the flames from the sidelines. Faced with the employees' collective "ultimatum" and greedy demands, Zhou Xing, who is out fishing at sea, displays extraordinary calmness and decisiveness. Instead of caving in to the employees, he decides to directly deregister the company, sell the office building, and offer an exceptionally high "n+3" compensation package. Zhou Xing views this move as the "end of poverty alleviation," intending to let these self-important "ungrateful wretches" experience real tempering in society.
