not yield a (single) step/an inch

On New Year's Day this year, I attended the annual meeting of an e-commerce website. Salespeople all over the country held slogans and shouted around the venue. The atmosphere was feverish and boiling. I feel as if I have crossed the time tunnel and returned to the 1960s. I saw a group of people running over and shouting in unison, "One by one, one step ahead!" " However, their shouts were immediately covered by another group of people. They shouted, "We are the best, and we won't let you go! "

What I am interested in is not the spiritual motivation method of this website, but the pronunciation of the words "one" and "no"

As we know, as a single word, "one" is pronounced flat, and "nothing" is pronounced silent. But in the above advertisement, "one" has two pronunciations. "One" reads flat and parallel, and "One Step" reads flat and parallel; In the sentence of "one step not to let", "no" has also changed its tone, which reads as an ascending tone. What the hell is going on here?

After consulting some materials about the tones of Putonghua, I realized the rules of tone sandhi of these two words.

"One" has four tone sandhi.

1、

There are several ways to read a flat tile: a, as a single word or sentence ending, for example, 99 is one; B, work as ordinal number, such as: business one, first; C, when used with other numbers, such as 9 18.

Read the rising tone before you go out.
