Many people harbour the hope of a ‘dream job’, one that pays well, offer great benefits, and with a boss who treats them like his own. A television commercial pops up, advertising three “exceptional job positions” – to act as the children of and help in the business of a mysterious wealthy businessman, Zhang Qingdong (Hugo Ng). Not only does this job draws a high salary, it also offers expensive cars and life in a mansion with servants at their beck and call. This of course attracted many applications but the lawyer Li Junfeng (Shaun Chen) is hired to coordinate the employment decided on a financial advisor Cheng Huishan (Jeanette Aw) to be the second daughter, a nurse Jiang Xinya (Rebecca Lim) to be the third daughter, and a model-actor Lin Zijie (Ian Fang) as the youngest son.
The mysterious man turns out to be the boss of an established horticultural enterprise. The three children are introduced to an “older brother” Zhang Lixing (Zhang Zhenhuan) and the four strangers work to live amicably together to please their boss. However, the lawyer in charge of them appears to be sowing discord among the siblings, leading them to wonder what his true intentions were.
