Ten Yuan in Dividends After Three Years: I Quit to Be My Own Boss

About the story

Mechanic Lin Yi endures three years of humiliation at his older paternal cousin’s repair shop. His wages are withheld, and the forty-percent share of profits he was promised amounts to just ten yuan in the end. At thirty-five, he finally quits to strike out on his own, taking over the nearly bankrupt Zhoulin Auto Repair. With his outstanding skills, he fixes five trucks that every other shop in the city refused to repair in just three days. He wins a major contract with a transport company at a low price, and his former coworkers, who also suffered exploitation, flock to join him. Meanwhile, his worker-exploiting cousin Lin Wei loses his skilled workforce and goes bankrupt, eventually wandering the streets in a deranged state. Centered on the idea that “true craftsmanship never lies,” the series shows how an honest man wins back his dignity with his own hands.
