Synopsis

This series traces the ups and downs of the Jia empire, a family of restaurateurs controlling the highly profitable Jin Le chain of restaurants. At its helm is the very capable matriarch, Old Mrs. Jia ( Cheng Pei-pei), who has single-handedly steered the business to where it is today. Each member of the clan, though diverse in his or her character and motivations, keeps up with appearances in order to maintain the harmony on the surface. But it is only too soon that self-interest gets in the way and human weaknesses rears its ugly head.

*Jia-She Huijun ( Cheng Pei-pei): Starting from scratch, Mrs. Jia has single-handedly brought the highly successful Jin Le chain of restaurants to where it is today.

) is arranged to ensure his swift rise through the company's ranks but it only served to make him more complacent. His selfish pursuit of pleasure also causes him to neglect Xiyi and start a string of dirty affairs, causing Xinyi to eventually file for a divorce. *Wang Xiyi (in the Philippine airing: Marissa Wang) (

): Beautiful, intelligent and determined, Xiyi has painstakingly worked her way up to become one of the restaurant's executives. Her sensitivity to the needs of others and selflessness has earned her the respect and trust of the Jia household. Even so, her envious sister-in-law Zengyue (

): While Zengmu is usually perceived as stable and well-organized, doing everything on an even keel, he is in fact a timid side-liner when it comes to making decisions. His father's unexpected death forces him to take on the role of general manager despite his shortcomings. Zengmu is also a paranoid, taking extreme measures when it comes to safe-guarding his health. He eventually dies on the same day with his wife Guiying (
