At a village wedding banquet, Liu Hao questions the 2,800 yuan fee paid to Lao Chen, the banquet manager, believing his coordinating work can be split up and handled by others, and declares he won't hire a manager for his own wedding. The preparations go smoothly, but on the wedding day the bridal car arrives early, the firecrackers go wrong, far more guests pour in than expected, and the head table is seated wrongly. Everyone does their own part, yet it all descends into chaos, and Liu Hao is at his wits' end. When the accounts are settled, the 2,800 he supposedly saved is eaten up by extra expenses and social risks. Liu Hao finally understands that a manager's value lies not in physical labor, but in foreseeing risks, balancing relationships and handling the unexpected. He lets go of his prejudice, and the two men finally reconcile.
