Wong Sheung (Lau Dan) walks into "Ka Yan" company and sees his crowd of employees around Ah Lam's (Linda Chung) office. He is mad and rushes over. "Our business is not going well these days! How can you all stand there and..." he shouts until the sight of his daughter causes him to faint!
"'Daddy!" Joey (Bernice Liu) yells.
[Meeting Office]
"Oh god, Joey, I'm old and frail, don't give me such a scare again!" Wong Sheung says as he rubs medicinal oil on the sides of his head.
"Does that mean you're not happy to see me? Fine! I will go back to England!" Joey gets up and starts to storm out of the room. She smiles when her dad calls her to come back.
"What are you doing back here anyways?"
"I came to see you. It's lonely in England!"
"Oh, really? Then why didn't you just give me a call and ask me to go over there to visit you?"
"Because you're busy with work and I don't want to bother you, Daddy!"
"Ay, what a thoughtful daughter I have!"
Joey walks to Wong Sheung's side and tries to nonchalantly ask where Ah Nin (Frankie Lam) is. "Daddy, where is Chris (Frankie)? How come Michelle (Linda) is working in his office?"
Wong Sheung is surprised. "Chris? I haven't seen him in years already. Don't ask me about him!"
"Years?! What do you mean?"
"He resigned from 'Ka Yan' around the time you left for England. He said that he wanted to try his luck in another place to see if he can have success there. It was a great loss to our company when he was gone, but now that we have Michelle, it is no problem!"
"Do you know what company he works in now?"
"Why are you so curious about Chris? Don't you hate him?"
"Daddy, just tell me."
"I recommended him to my friend in Shanghai. He's working in a company there."
"Shanghai?" Wong Sheung nods. "Daddy, can you buy me a plane ticket to Shanghai?"
"Now, Joey, why would you want to go there?"
"I heard Shanghai is a nice place and they have good fashion! I want to go there for some ideas."
"Don't you lie to me! You want to go see Chris, don't you?"
Joey bites her lip. She can't lie to her dad anymore. "To be honest, I came back to see Chris. If you remember, I told you that I loved Chris and you 'investigated' him and told me he's not a good person. Well, it seems that we just had a bunch of misunderstandings. Finally, we got together on the night of my car accident. Unfortunately, I lost my memories with him and couldn't remember that I was in love with him. Sam (Ellesmere Choi) took advantage of this and pretended to be my boyfriend. Somehow I knew that Sam wasn't 'that person' so I left Hong Kong to ease my mind. A few days ago, I realized that the situation wasn't progressing and someone gave me good advice so I came back to look for Chris. Fatefully or not, I got into another accident and regained all of my memories. So now I really want and need to find him!"
"Another accident? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, daddy. But please, help me find Chris."
"But you're only a girl. How can I trust you to go all the way to Shanghai? Who knows what will happen to you?"
"Daddy, I've lived alone in England for years! I'm still safe and sound."
"England is different. You know the language."
"Fine, why don't you go with me then?"
"Joey, you know that our company's business is not ideal now. How can I?"
"All right, then I will just have to go alone." She walks to the door and opens it. With the sudden opening of the door, all of the "Ka Yan" employees fall to the ground! They have been listening all along! Joey is shocked, but eventually calms herself and comments, "So the snoopiness of your habits still haven't changed!" She shakes her head and walks away with her dad calling for her to come back. Joey knew that her dad would always give her what she wanted. She just had to push the right buttons.
"That daughter gives me such a headache!" Wong Sheung falls back in his seat.
"Mr. Wong, how about we accompany Joey on her trip to Shanghai?" Ah Yuet (Michael Tse) asks.
"Ridiculous! Do you think that I would sacrifice my own business for my daughter?"
They all shake their heads. "Besides, didn't you say that we're useless and our productivity is low? Plus, Ah Lo (Bondy Chiu) knows Mandarin, isn't that right?" Ah Yuet asks. Ah Lo smiles and speaks a terrible-sounding phrase of Mandarin.
"Enough! You all just want to be lazy and not work. Everyday you come in waiting to leave. You always demand raises! God, why didn't I fire you people earlier? Hong Kong has tons of other applicants who are more suited for your jobs!"
"Because you love us, Mr. Wong! Besides, your daughter's happiness is on the line!" Gam (Louis Yuen) insists.
"I'm firing all of you if you don't get back to work this instant." The look of serious anger on Wong Sheung's face displayed to the "Ka Yan" employees that he wasn't joking this time. They all stagger out of the door. He pounds his head on the desk. "What am I to do?"
Gam pops back in, "Send us to look after her!"
"Get out!"
