Settle Old Accounts Anew, The Banquet Chief Determines Right and Wrong
Chen Xiaoman returns to her hometown after making a living in the city. There, she finds her father, Chen Guangcai, mocked by Zhou Yougui despite having served as the village banquet manager for twenty years. Zhou sneers that all he does is walk around with a notebook, looking here and shouting there, and that his work is not worth even 2,800 yuan. Xiaoman immediately stands up for her father and makes a bet with Zhou Hao. She goes on to organize wedding banquets, full-month celebrations, and birthday feasts, but repeatedly runs into trouble because she calculates costs without accounting for the human relationships and favors involved. After going from arguments to working together, father and daughter combine her spreadsheets with her father's knowledge of people, table arrangements, preparations, and last-minute problem-solving. At the harvest banquet, they withstand competition from a low-priced company and Zhou Yougui's sabotage. In the end, they establish a rural banquet cooperative, and Xiaoman takes over the sign bearing the title 'Chief Chen'.

Chen Xiaoman pulang ke kampung halaman selepas berusaha mencari rezeki di bandar. Di sana, dia mendapati bapanya, Chen Guangcai, yang telah menjadi ketua pengurusan jamuan kampung selama dua puluh tahun, dipersendakan oleh Zhou Yougui. Zhou mengejek bahawa kerja bapanya hanya membawa buku nota, mundar-mandir melihat keadaan dan menjerit memberi arahan, sedangkan kerja itu tidak bernilai 2,800 yuan. Xiaoman segera tampil membela bapanya dan membuat pertaruhan dengan Zhou Hao. Dia berturut-turut menguruskan jamuan perkahwinan, sambutan bayi berusia sebulan dan jamuan hari jadi warga emas, tetapi berkali-kali menghadapi kegagalan kerana hanya mengira kos tanpa mengambil kira budi bahasa dan hubungan sesama manusia. Selepas melalui pertengkaran, bapa dan anak itu akhirnya berganding bahu. Xiaoman menggabungkan jadual pengiraannya dengan kemahiran bapanya mengingati orang, menyusun tempat duduk, membuat persiapan jamuan dan menyelesaikan masalah pada saat akhir. Dalam jamuan musim menuai, mereka menghadapi persaingan syarikat yang menawarkan harga rendah serta sabotaj Zhou Yougui. Akhirnya, mereka menubuhkan koperasi jamuan kampung dan Xiaoman mengambil alih papan tanda 'Ketua Chen'.
