Come On, Cousin (Traditional Chinese: 老表,你好hea!; literally "Cousin, You Are So Lazy") (Chinese: 老表,你好hea!; Jyutping: Lou5 Biu2, Nei5 Hou2 hea!) is a 2014 Hong Kong modern comedy drama produced by TVB. The drama is a TVB anniversary series and an indirect sequel to 2013 Inbound Troubles. Almost the entire cast of Inbound Troubles returns to this series playing completely different characters. The storyline has no relations to the first series. Filming of the series took place from April–July 2014. The series began airing October 20. 2014 and will be broadcast weekly from Monday to Friday at 8:30 PM.
The series revolves around an apartment building and its residence. When lazy 2nd generation heir Yau Tin, takes over the grocer store inside the building he overhauls it and hires all the residence in the building to work there. But soon environmentalist and stock boy Lam Joi Yeh, leads a revolt against Tin when he puts up a huge poster against the building that affects the residence quality of life.
Environmentalist Lam Joi Yeh (Roger Kwok) returns to Hong Kong after many years abroad trying to save the environment, when he receives a call from his mother that his father is dying. At the same time spoiled 2nd generation rich heir Yau Tin (Wong Cho-lam) also returns home to Hong Kong after many years of partying around the world when he receives a call from his mother that his father is dying and thinking he will inherit all of his father's money. However both of their mother's had lied to them. Joi Yeh's father is really pretending to suffer from Alzheimer's disease while Tin's father pretended to be dying to get back at him for carelessly spending his money all these years. To prove he is not a lazy useless heir Tin agrees to manage his father's very first business which is a grocery store located inside an apartment building. Unhappy with the workers and environment he request the store be overhauled and the elderly workers be fired. In order to hire new workers at the last minute, Tin offers an salary of HKD$100 per hour. Joi Yeh goes to Tin's store to complain about the vegetables smelling like bug spray, that his mother had salvage from the store's garbage but ends up applying for a job when he sees the amazing pay of HKD$100 per hour.
