I Gave My Employees a Raise—Why Is That “Disrupting the Market”?

I Gave My Employees a Raise—Why Is That “Disrupting the Market”? Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, who just took over her family's garment factory, raises entry-level salaries by 30% to retain the old employees who worked with her father for 20 years. But the next day, Zhou Defa—industry association president and her rival—reports her to the authorities, accusing her of “maliciously raising wages to破坏 market order.” Zhou claims to uphold “industry rules,” but secretly wants to force Xiaoman to sell her factory cheaply—her raise has already made workers at other factories demand higher pay. Xiaoman fights back: she digs up three years of industry average salary data and hosts a live stream where old employees share stories like “working until 3 AM to save for my grandson's surgery.” The public erupts, slamming, “Capitalists are mad a boss is being human?” As the hearing nears, Zhou plans to plant fake “tax evasion” evidence. Can Xiaoman turn the tide? Will her employees stand with her?
