The Factory Chose Speed—He Chose 45 Days and Risked Everything on One Harvest

Zhou Ling, a skilled dried-persimmon technician, refuses to follow his cousin Qiao Man’s shortcut of using sulfur fumigation to speed up production. Instead, he uses his share of the profits to take over a barren, rocky hillside and grows persimmons using traditional methods passed down through generations. Determined to dominate the export market with her fast-produced goods, Qiao Man repeatedly tries to stand in his way. But when days of continuous rain arrive, her rushed products develop mold on a massive scale. Meanwhile, Zhou Ling stays true to traditional craftsmanship, working tirelessly to produce premium dried persimmons with a beautiful natural sugar bloom. His dedication finally pays off when he secures a major export order. After her approach fails, Qiao Man comes to realize her mistake. She dismantles her sulfur-processing facility and begins learning the traditional craft from Zhou Ling. Through their journey, everyone discovers that truly outstanding results cannot be rushed—they require patience, dedication, and time.
