Episode 1 recap: Xu Gang Ren and his wife experienced investment losses.
The story takes place in Hong Kong, where Xu Gang Ren (played by Chen Zhan Peng) works as the deputy manager of a property company. He is highly regarded by his superiors, who entrusted two envelopes to him for two different companies. However, while accidentally bumping into a cleaning lady outside, the envelopes got mixed up, resulting in the exchange of the wrong letters. When their boss became furious about the mix-up, they were surprised to learn that the owner of the company they were supposed to collaborate with had been arrested by the police for corruption and bribery. Thus, what initially seemed like a bad situation turned out to be a fortunate turn of events, and their boss praised Xu Gang Ren for it.
Xu Gang Ren always manages to turn danger into safety in his work, making him incredibly lucky. However, even so, he still comes out of the office sweating from the stress. Xu Gang Ren's wife, Kuang Hai Lun (played by Wu Ruo Xi), is a lawyer at a law firm and receives clients for both marriage and divorce cases.
Today is Xu Gang Ren and Kuang Hai Lun's wedding anniversary, and Xu Gang Ren visits a clothing store where his younger sister works to prepare a gift for his wife. Xu Gang Ren's younger brother is a food blogger whose daily mission is to explore various cuisines in Hong Kong.
After finishing work, Xu Gang Ren's sister and her boyfriend often sing on the streets. Her boyfriend has a dream of becoming a star and wants to participate in a talent show. Xu Gang Ren's sister tries to persuade him and mentions that their second brother is studying film production and might be able to help him. She quickly calls out their second brother, and her boyfriend, Lele, asks how much money he would need for a film shoot. When he learns that it would cost ten thousand, Lele declines the offer.
Xu Gang Wen, the second brother, actually wants to become famous himself, but his video views never seem to increase. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic. Xu Gang Ren arranges for their parents' graves to be relocated, and all three siblings gather to pay their respects. Kuang Hai Lun mentions that the real estate market has reached its peak and intends to invest in several plots. Xu Gang Ren advises her to consider it carefully.
At this moment, Kuang Hai Lun receives a phone call informing her that the currency they invested in has received insider information that it may skyrocket. Xu Gang Ren, upon learning this, decides to invest their entire savings into it. Initially hesitant, Kuang Hai Lun eventually agrees after being encouraged by Xu Gang Ren.
Lele tells his girlfriend, Xu Baoyi, that he still plans to go to Beijing for career development. Xu Baoyi is naturally reluctant to let go of her boyfriend, and Lele says that wherever Xu Baoyi is, that's where his home is. Xu Gang Ren returns home and has a candlelight dinner with Kuang Hai Lun. They happen to see news about people being scammed by investing in virtual currencies. At first, they mock those who fell for it, but to their surprise, the person shown in the news as a victim is Mrs. Yan, the person they invested with.
Many people became victims of the scam this time, but Xu Gang Ren and his wife suffered the most significant losses, amounting to millions. Determined not to let their hard-earned money go to waste, Kuang Hai Lun reaches out to a television station to share their situation and participate in a press interview.
To avoid being recognized, they asked the television station to blur their faces.
Kuang Hai Lun blamed herself for the incident and felt responsible for their loss of half of their assets overnight. At this time, Xu Gang Ren received a phone call from his boss asking him to come and see him the next morning. Xu Gang Ren went to the office early in the morning with a nervous heart, thinking that he might be fired. However, he was surprised to learn that his boss wanted to transfer him to the Beijing branch as the CEO. Xu Gang Ren never expected this, and his boss even suggested that he discuss it with his wife at home.
Upon learning about this, Kuang Hai Lun encouraged him to go to Beijing, but Xu Gang Ren was hesitant to leave his wife. Kuang Hai Lun was there to comfort him all along. Xu Gang Wen, on the other hand, was thrilled when he found out that his older brother was going to Beijing.
Xu Gang Wen's main concern now was his Beijing accent. He shared the contact of an online Chinese teacher with his brother. Xu Baoyi, their younger sister, was worried about her sister-in-law when she found out that her brother would be going to Beijing alone. After all, being apart from her brother for such a long time would not be easy. When they returned home, Kuang Hai Lun came out of the shower and saw her husband studying Chinese. The Chinese teacher only had his mouth visible, and Kuang Hai Lun playfully flirted with Xu Gang Ren. However, Xu Gang Ren said he had something to do, and Kuang Hai Lun began to realize that there might be problems if they were truly separated. So she said she wanted to go to Beijing with him, and Xu Gang Ren was naturally very happy about it.
In order to adapt to the environment in Beijing, Kuang Hai Lun planned to buy some traditional Chinese medicine. However, the seller recommended numerous options to her. Before leaving, Xu Gang Ren and Kuang Hai Lun invited their close friends and colleagues for a farewell dinner. As luck would have it, their interview video was playing on the TV, although their faces were blurred, they were still recognized, and the couple felt very embarrassed.
Soon, Xu Gang Ren and Kuang Hai Lun arrived in Beijing, where they were greeted by a driver and provided with a villa. The couple was delighted and felt that they had come to the right place.
