Weary of the corporate world's deceit, business tycoon Li Daqian takes his son, Li Shuheng, to live a secluded life in the countryside, raising him in poverty. Li Shuheng, proving his mettle, builds a successful career on his own. He brings his girlfriend, Chen Xue'er, and her family home to discuss marriage with Li Daqian. Xue'er's family repeatedly tries to show off in front of Li Daqian, only to be subtly put in their place. Finally angered, they make the unreasonable demand for Li Shuheng to marry into the Chen Family, infuriating both father and son and ending the meeting on a sour note.
