The Dream Job

- Season 1

(2016)

A mystery wealthy man offers a dream job to office workers: to live a life of luxury while managing his family-run business.

Qingdong clutches his heart in pain and appears to be having a heart attack.

Lixing shows the trio Qingdong's various businesses. He assigns Zijie to work in the restaurant.

Huishan cannot control the pain and anger boiling in her. She rejects the project and leaves.

Zijie owes Long-ge money. Long-ge overhears him bragging about his wealthy father, and threatens to chop off his arm.

Junfeng notices Qingdong holding an old family photo of Junfeng's younger self and parents.

A floral ornament drops from the ceiling. Tim accuses Huishan of being the perpetrator.

Upon awaking the next day, Qingdong only wants Xinya to remain with him.

Huishan and Zijie discover they are Qingdong's biological children. Meilan storms in and berates Qingdong for seeing Zijie behind her back. He tries in vain to explain.

Lixing is nearly run over by a lorry. As a result of this accident, his hearing impairment becomes public knowledge.

Bizhi chides Lixing for stopping her from staying in Junfeng's room, and puts him down as being only an adopted child and not entitled to any rights.

Lixing cannot believe he is Qingdong's son. He never did understand why his mother kept reminding him as a child that he was adopted.

Junfeng admits to Xinya that he is Qingdong's long-lost son. She reveals Qingdong has been looking for him and his mother for over 20 years. Junfeng asserts that it's too late.

Junfeng praises Xinya for the immense progress in her relationship with Lixing. When he advises her not to take it too seriously, she declares she has no feelings for Lixing.

Bizhi begs Qingdong to forgive her past mistakes. Relenting, he forbids her from announcing that he is ill. It turns out Bizhi was in Qingdong's room looking for his will.

Junfeng regains consciousness. Meanwhile, Xinya learns Xinling has been found and is relieved.

Xiaoxue is upset that she has lost her virginity to Zijie, and swears him to secrecy. He complies willingly, but Yongqiang aggravates the situation and Uncle Quan flies into a rage.

Junfeng checks into the identity of the mystery man in the old photo. Xinya goes into Lixing's room and flips through his photo album.

Xinya stops Tim from attacking Junfeng. They get into a scuffle, and Junfeng and Xinya are injured. Tim flees.

Lixing, Huishan and Zijie are grieved to learn Qingdong is beset with stage four cancer.

Lixing confides in Huishan about Xinya and Junfeng. He also apologises for being harsh to her the other day.

Xinya is mulling over her troubles while strolling along a beach in Perth. Junfeng appears out of the blue and announces he is not going to marry Yiqing.

Qingdong plays cupid for Huishan and Lixing and sends them to Australia for an assignment.

Lixing does not believe Qingdong's wife, Ziyun, is his mother. Mingde misleads Lixing by saying he and Ziyun were lovers and that Qingdong had raped her.

Earthworm and Junfeng rescue Xinya and Xinling in time. The police reveal the driver has turned himself in for reckless driving and admitted to drinking and consuming medicine.

Qingdong's body is recovered around eight in the morning. The forensic investigator's preliminary analysis is that he was drowned.

The police confirm that Junfeng is Qingdong's son and has been hiding his identity because of his hatred for his father.

Lixing reads every note. Written by Ziyun, they conveyed her heartfelt emotions. She apologised to Lixing for letting him down.

Grief-stricken, Xinya becomes suicidal. Junfeng sees her standing by a window, about to jump to her death, and hastily holds her back.

Terrified after stabbing Huishan, Mingde flees. Junfeng calls the police, and also informs them that Mingde murdered Qingdong. He seeks Earthworm out, to find Mingde.
