塞翁失马
luck
a big client left

daoist sage
to a rival company

but then
came back

and brought along

two new clients

daoist sage
but this put strain on resources
many clients got upset
and left

to a rival company

daoist sage
where sage and his team
all got offered nice jobs

daoist sage
with higher salaries

the others went to the pub
but
sage went home

daoist sage
inspired by saiweng losing his horse in chapter 18 of the huainanzi
