Middle-aged, working as an executive for a pharmaceutical company in an slumping economy, Chong Sau Lai (Lydia Sum) has high expectations of herself and others and is not very popular with her staff, in particular Wong Man Yee (Fennie Yuen). Lai works hard for the company, but when she sees her superiors fighting for power, she gets angry and leaves. When Yee files Lai's resignation she is not happy for long as her own department is disbanded and they both join the army of the unemployed.

Finding a job is easier said than done and with a build like Lai's, she finds herself hitting walls. However, with a positive attitude, Lai finally finds herself a job in sales. She realizes that her build is holding her back so she decides to lose some weight. As for Yee, other than admitting her bad luck, she also realizes that she can't leave things to fate. As a last resort, she finds a job as a waitress in a restaurant.

From this example, Yee learns that success requires a lot of perseverance and hard work....
