Synopsis
Chor Chi and his father, Chor Fan, depend on each other for a living. After graduating from university, Chi becomes a public relations officer at a tobacco company. He completes his tasks well and gets promoted rapidly, becoming part of the young professionals group. Chi depends on tobacco to get fame and wealth, but Fan feels that his son is promoting smoking, similar to 'helping a villain to do evil.' Chi moves out of the house so that he will not have any more conflicts with his elderly father.
Fan later contracts Alzheimer's disease, causing Chi to move back home to take care of him. However, Fan's old style of doing things is both annoying and laughable to Chi. Chi meets a wealthy elderly businessman Cheng Kwan-min from the city who tries to poach him over using a high pay and post, but unexpectedly, a freak accident happens along the way, causing Chi to travel back in time to the 1960's era.
When Chi first steps into this old era, he is accidentally hurt by the younger Fan. Fan takes him home, but he comes into clashes with the landlady's daughter, Ching Lan-fun. Seeing that he is unable to return to 2008, Chi finds a job to support himself. However, in this place, connections are needed everywhere, and Chi's education qualifications become useless. Fortunately, with Fan's help, he becomes a sales clerk at the Dor Dor department store. Chi finds out that Cheng Kwan-min is the manager of this departmental store and clings to him.
Fan accidentally discovers that Chi came from the future, and he's his son, thus he allows his son to control his love life. Chi witnesses his father making such a sacrifice for him, thus he decides to repent his ways and give up on relying on the wealthy businessman. However, the wealthy businessman unexpectedly clinched the 2008 historical writing award, and he devised an evil plan to buy over the landlady's building, chasing all the tenants out. He wanted to use it to develop his property kingdom. Chi is filled with regrets and decides to salvage the situation. However, he accidentally returns to 2008...
