The Tofu War

DOU CHEUNG drafts an agreement, hoping that HIU-YING will sell her 50% of the company shares back to Ding Fook Wo, so as to allow them to continue their tradition, but HIU-YING refuses. Pak Hei Sing stock has plunged ever since they were affected by the scandal. Suddenly, SZETO NAM regains the memories of the novel titled “Killer Caustic” and the traffic accident she had, causing her a huge headache. Instantly, SIU-MING seeks aid from SAU-KING. However, SAU-KING mistakes her neighbor’s home for her own home, so SIU-MING suggests that she should go for a body checkup. MR. TSEUNG wants HIU-YING to take full responsibility for the Ding Fook Wo saga, urging her to sell all the shares of Ding Fook Wo held by Pak Hei Sing back to them. SIU-MING also tries to persuade her to reconcile with WAI-LUNG……

SIU-MING works around the clock to look after unconscious SZETO NAM following the accident. Having seen this, SAU-KING can’t help feeling deeply touched. Apart from buying herself a diamond watch to celebrate being promoted to CEO, HIU-YING even has tons of plans to expand the business of Flying Dragon Team, so WAI-LUNG reminds her that she does not have to reach the very top. WAI-LUNG leads LAI-KUEN to visit SAU-KING, who frankly tells them that she still remembers to safeguard Ding Fook Wo even though she needs to look after her own daughter. As requested by TAK-CHING, DAN-DAN invites DOU CHEUNG to a restaurant to make peace. Seeing SIU-MING dispirited, SAU-KING tries to reason with him, seeking to encourage him to pull himself together. In the press conference held by Pak Hei Sing to announce the future development of Ding Fook Wo, DOU CHEUNG claims that the whole buyout of Ding Fook Wo seems pretty shady……

Showing his guilty conscience, TAK-CHING tries to persuade DOU CHEUNG to think thoroughly whether or not to transfer his 30% of the company shares, adding that it’s HIU-YING who plotted to frame him so as to let Pak Hei Sing acquire 50% of the shares of Ding Fook Wo. LIK-KEI gives HEI-SZE a sandwich and lets her taste it, which makes SZETO NAM think that LIK-KEI fell in love with HEI-SZE. Unexpectedly, HEI-SZE likes DOU CHEUNG; whereas FEI-YEE falls for LIK-KEI, resulting in a complicated love rectangle. PUI-SHAN pitches her intention of returning to the field of insurance sales to her former boss, who instead thinks it’s impossible for her to sell insurance anymore because of her disfigurement. LAI-KUEN confides in SAU-KING, who comes up with an idea for her. SAU-KING goes with WAI-LUNG to have dinner at PUI-SHAN’s home. After getting WAI-LUNG drunk, she carries him to bed……

SIU-MING often works overtime, which makes SAU-KING suspect that he used working overtime as an excuse to cover up his affair. SIU-MING introduces HIU-YING to TAK-CHING and DOU CHEUNG, and they discuss about investing in Ding Food Wo. SAU-KING believes that SIU-MING is having an affair; whereas SIU-MING is worried that things might get messy once SAU-KING learns about the investing negotiation, so he’d rather continue to hide the fact. SAU-KING asks her old friends for a favor to keep an eye on SIU-MING, seeking to gain solid evidence against him to prove that he has an affair. SIU-MING rushes to Pak Hei Sing to have a meeting with MR. TSEUNG, DOU CHEUNG and HIU-YING. MR. TSEUNG intends to purchase more than 50% of their company’s shares so as to become their majority shareholder, which greatly startles them. DOU CHEUNG feels very resentful……

Having too much free time on her hands, SAU-KING starts cleaning SIU-MING’s home. Without permission, she not only throws away SIU-MING’s collections that he has been gathering since childhood, but also opens the warning letter that MASTER WAH gave him earlier, making SIU-MING feel very resentful. When PUI-SHAN is working at the restaurant, PETER arrives there to blackmail her for $200,000 by threatening to upload her naked photos to the internet. Going to look for PUI-SHAN, WAI-LUNG sees her mingling with PETER. He can’t help feeling very disappointed and leaves in a huff. TAK-CHING and DOU CHEUNG go to attend a meeting held by the Soy Products Association. Coincidentally, they and their business rival, COCKY CHIU from Wonder Beans, show a great interest in participating in the Cuisine Festival. SIU-MING has to move in temporarily with SAU-KING’s family due to the sewage blockage in his home……

To thank WAI-LUNG, HIU-YING treats him to dinner at a high-end restaurant, where they surprisingly see PUI-SHAN, who works as a waitress there. PUI-SHAN gets down on her knees to beg HIU-YING to leave WAI-LUNG, but HIU-YING frankly tells her that she is not seeing WAI-LUNG. SIU-MING writes a business plan for a loan from the bank to purchase equipment, but SAU-KING is opposed to the idea. Meanwhile, the bank suspends their loans due to lack of some of the required documents. When SIU-MING thinks that SAU-KING must have been behind this, SZETO NAM instead urges him to put up with SAU-KING. TAK-CHING, DOU CHEUNG and SIU-MING are discussing about the direction of the corporate reform, during which SIU-MING suggests contracting out certain services such as cleaning, security and delivery crews, which SAU-KING is totally against. As SAU-KING’s 60th birthday is around the corner, SZETO NAM suggests throwing a birthday party for her……

HIU-YING reveals to SIU-MING that SIU-YIN wants to be a horticulturist, hoping that SIU-MING is able to calm down and communicate with SIU-YIN patiently. After SIU-MING thanks HIU-YING for helping address their sibling bickering, HIU-YING frankly tells him that it’s all thanks to SZETO NAM. SIU-MING and DOU CHEUNG not only go about seeking the reason behind the decline in orders from restaurants, but also try to figure out how to prolong the shelf life of tofu products and research for a new tofu package. After SIU-MING and SIU-YIN run into a former Sushi restaurant manager BROTHER KWAN and his son, there is a ceiling collapse in an industrial building, so SIU-MING goes back to look for them. By coincidence, SZETO NAM and DOU CHEUNG see the news about how SIU-YIN asks for help from a firefighter. Though SIU-MING manages to save BROTHER KWAN and his son, he himself is crushed by the falling concrete……

TAK-CHING secretly leads VERONICA to visit the soy products factory, but they are discovered by SAU-KING, who is instead thwarted by SIU-MING. With SAU-KING, TAK-CHING and the others having a fight at the factory, DOU CHEUNG and SIU-MING coincidentally collapse and both are rushed to the hospital. DOU CHEUNG learns that SZETO NAM is SIU-MING’s girlfriend, and SAU-KING is totally against them seeing each other after learning the truth. SIU-MING reveals to DOU CHEUNG how he met SZETO NAM. SZETO NAM leads SIU-MING to meet SAU-KING, who despises SIU-MING, thinking he is unable to bring her happiness. In the second stage of the proposal, SIU-MING plans to cooperate with supermarkets, to which DOU CHEUNG disagrees. Venting out his frustration, DOU CHEUNG tears up the proposal. SAU-KING tells MAN-FONG to seduce SIU-MING, but the honey trap plot fails……

SAU-KING falls, causing a swollen foot and ankle. Upon her arrival at the soy products factory, SZETO NAM finds out that SIU-MING is the corporate advisor. Not wanting to be seen by him, she instantly hides herself. SIU-MING arranges for the staff members to attend many training workshops. Though SZETO NAM intends to tell him that SAU-KING is actually her mother, unfortunately, she misses the opportunity to break it to him. There are three training sessions. The first one is taken in a war game form, and SAU-KING and SIU-MING are the only two left to square off in the end. The second one called “Think out of the box”, and only WAI-LUNG manages to reach the terminal. When it comes to the last session called “Listen to your coach”, they are all over the place because none of them understands SIU-MING’s instructions. Having gone through three training sessions, SIU-MING evaluates and reviews the results to them……

DOU CHEUNG announces to recruit more staff for the corporate reform of the soy products factory, but SAU-KING, DAN-DAN and TAK-CHING are shocked to see their new co-worker turn out to be SIU-MING. SAU-KING, DAN-DAN and chauffeur TO WAI-LUNG analyze the situation, believing that TAK-CHING and DOU CHEUNG will inevitably be manipulated by him. SAU-KING vows to safeguard the factory. SAU-KING leads SIU-MING to visit the factory, during which SIU-MING uncovers the deep-rooted problem in the factory. SIU-MING walks into SZETO NAM’s coffee shop. While there, SZETO NAM not only tries to comfort him but also introduces him to her business partner. On top of that, photographer FEI-YEE even takes a photo for them. SAU-KING criticizes SIU-MING’s ways of dealing with things as some amateur trying to tell professionals what to do. SZETO NAM is of the opinion that they don’t have to listen to him if he says anything that makes no sense to them……
