Justice Strike

As the year drew to a close, Yana Zhou, the design director of Shanglin Design, applied for year-end bonuses from Holly Lin who was abroad seeking new business opportunities. The request was approved. On bonus distribution day, Holly's daughter Fifi Lin returned to China, with intern Leo Sun assigned to pick her up at the airport. Upon returning to the office, Leo learned he would only receive 20,000 yuan as bonus. The self-important overseas returnee with a master's degree felt undervalued, unaware that according to company policy, interns not yet regularized shouldn't receive any bonus. The 20,000 yuan actually came from Yana's personal bonus allocation as encouragement. Meanwhile, Fifi proposed canceling all year-end bonuses due to economic downturn, asking employees to share the company's hardship. Leo quickly ingratiated himself with Fifi, forming an opportunistic alliance. When employees protested, Fifi promised to restore bonuses only if they could secure Ethan Jiang, chairman of client Jiang Group, to attend Shanglin's annual gala and obtain tens of millions in contracts. Unbeknownst to all, Ethan had already planned to poach Yana as Jiang Group's design director, having scheduled a business meeting with her. Despite being heavily pregnant, Yana courageously visited Jiang Group alone to reclaim bonuses for her team. There she witnessed Leo conspiring with a contact to submit invitation letters. Though Ethan missed their meeting, he promised to attend Shanglin's gala. At the annual event, Fifi fired competent senior staff and humiliated Yana in front of Ethan. Witnessing this, Ethan officially invited Yana to join his company. After Chinese New Year, as Jiang Group's design director, Yana repeatedly rejected Shanglin's proposals. Forced to confront Jiang Group at their opening ceremony, Shanglin's management was shocked to discover their new client director was the very Yana they had mistreated. As other partners withdrew cooperation upon learning Yana's departure, Shanglin Design collapsed. Ultimately, Ethan invested in Yana's startup venture, while the Lin mother-daughter duo ended up working for their former employee.
