Cheng Shuning, founder of Zhenhua Hotel, conceals her identity and poses as an ordinary guest with her younger son to test Lin Yuhe, the girlfriend of her elder son Zhao Ze'an. Lin Yuhe judges people by appearances, publicly humiliating the elderly, mistreating staff, and conniving with her brother to falsify invoices. Cheng Shuning reveals her identity as chairperson on the spot and cleans house. Lin Yuhe is fired, the corruption is exposed, and Zhao Ze'an, who lacked judgment, is demoted to the grassroots for a year of training. A year later, after navigating food markets and mastering the financial books, he truly grows into a qualified general manager. The upright receptionist is also promoted, and the established hotel returns to the right track.
