In spite of the continuous upheaval in China during the 1930s, Guangzhou is still under the facade of peace and prosperity. Running the business of Hip Wo Hong, the TONG's family is one of the four big firms in Guangzhou. Their matriarch is TONG NGA-WUN, the eldest daughter of the TONG's family, who is very skillful in taking advantage of various situations. Bringing along her assistant WONG WING-CHAI, NGA-WUN goes to Sheung Pun Lau, a restaurant run by her family, to conduct an on-site inspection. After seeing that her aunt YUK-HING, uncle PAK-NIN and her cousin SIU-YIP, who are all in charge of management, have been muddling along, NGA-WUN cannot help lecturing them. NGA-WUN then goes to meet with Brother LUNG, the leader of Cheung Tai Gang, who plans to forcibly double their protection fee, but NGA-WUN instantly rejects him, incurring the displeasure of Brother LUNG……

Finally, the problem is solved, but NGA-WUN misconstrues that SO FEI and the others are the masterminds behind the whole plot. Worrying that his life is under threat due to the tax arrears and his assistance to TONG's family, SO FEI goes to discuss this with NGA-WUN, but to no avail, so Wing Cheong Shing needs to leave within half a month. Feeling so dejected, SO FEI dismantles the signboard of Wing Cheong Shing, during which he discovers a brocade box, leading to a way out of his predicament. Having managed to settle down at the Huadi Pier, SO FUN and the others intend to analyze the workload there, but it turns out that they can hardly make a living as the area is too remote. In the evening, YUK-HING proposes treating the Central Government Commissioner with a feast so as to gain credits, while PAK-NIN indicates that she is merely making a futile effort. As such, NGA-WUN has no alternative but to offer a helping hand……

YUK-TAK is so outraged that he leads everyone to the Mayor’s residence to meet KAI-YIU. He not only emphasizes his position as the Central Government Commissioner, but also as the son of the Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, however, KAI-YIU still refuses to give in. During his meeting with the four big firms, KAI-YIU announces that the Central Government is to increase taxes and the four big firms need to shoulder their share of the taxation responsibilities. As one firm points out that managing Huadi Pier has led to a great deficit year after year, NGA-WUN has no choice but to take over this hot potato, which reaches to LAI-WO after passing through many different hands. As soon as SO FEI and the others learn that the TONG's family will take over the management of the Pier, they start flattering LAI-WO. Unexpectedly, it turns out that the TONG's family has not strengthened its investment at the Pier……

When her conversation with PAK-NIN and the others gets disagreeable, NGA-MAN goes to Huadi Pier to visit LAI-WO. During the journey, she gets besieged by some coolies. Grasping at the chance to flatter her, SO FEI helps her out of the trouble, but she shows no appreciation at all. SO FEI gets the coupon of the Man Fa Department Store, so he brings SO FUN to go shopping there, during which the enmity between him and SIU-YIP is generated. Ever since SO FEI has established the Flowers Market at the Huadi Pier, the business is booming. However some customers go to the Man Fa Department Store and ask for monetary compensation after they have purchased some inferior quality products in the Flowers Market. Having checked the products, PAK-NIN and SIU-YIP look perplexed. One day, PAK-NIN and his son lead some policemen to sequestrate the Market, giving SO FEI and the others quite a shock.

After being arrested, SO FEI takes full responsibility, so TAI-CHING and the others go to seek help from LAI-WO. Having gone through the whole story, LAI-WO learns that it is PAK-NIN who reported SO FEI to the municipal government and alleged that SO FEI had infringed the trademark of “Man Fa”. Everyone is frightened out of one’s wit after hearing that. After some time, things settle down. While WING-CHAI brings along SO FEI to have a word with NGA-WUN, unexpectedly, NGA-WUN demands Wing Cheong Shing to leave Huadi Pier in ten days, which terrifies SO FEI and the others so greatly. Brother LUNG makes an appointment with NGA-WUN to suggest taking over the work at the Huadi Pier. NGA-WUN catches up with her old classmate SHUK-YIN, who mentions about arranging a blind date for NGA-MAN. NGA-WUN has second thoughts and decides to create a chance encounter.
