Description:
SHIRLEY (SUM TIN HA, LYDIA) is a supervisor in a pharmaceutical company. She is tough on all of her colleagues and herself, so she is rather unpopular among them, in particular with MANDY (YUEN KIT YING, FENNIE). SHIRLEY works hard for the company, but she is sacrificed for political reasons. MANDY is delighted to learn that SHIRLEY is leaving the company. However, not long afterwards, she too is laid off. 
Middle-aged people suffer most from unemployment. SHIRLEY’s large size also creates difficulties in job-hunting for her. However, she does not give up. Finally, she is employed as a sales representative. She understands obesity is her obstacle at work, so she tries hard to lose weight. Meanwhile, MANDY realizes that there is no point waiting around for a good job, therefore, she takes the offer to work in a restaurant.  
SHIRLEY is always particular about food. When she eats at the restaurant that MANDY works for, MANDY is very annoyed by her criticisms. However, after a while, MANDY notices that she is very good at cooking, so she invites her to be her partner in opening a restaurant. Having their own business is never an easy task. While MANDY is frustrated, SHIRLEY is still optimistic. Slowly, MANDY learns the importance of hard work from SHIRLEY. 
 
王曼兒自幼父母雙亡，在舅父孫鑑泉家長大，和表妹孫巧璧情同姊妹。曼兒自小已經養成獨立堅毅性格，成年就業後，更加奮力工作。曼兒在一藥品公司任職營業員，有不錯的收入，豈料人算不如天算，曼兒負上供樓的重擔時，部門出現危機，公司高層莊秀麗入主部門，要求各營業員提高業績，否則瘦身裁員，令曼兒如睛天霹靂。 
莊秀麗在藥品公司任職二十年，在公司地位舉足輕重，在員工中賺得「老佛爺」的外號。秀麗性格樂天、性急、好勝，對人對己要求極高，更由於心直口直，以致給人一種霸道專橫的印象。秀麗入主營業部，厲行新政，本來居安而不懂思危的職員視秀麗為洪水猛獸，一時間怨聲載道，其中尤以曼兒為甚。秀麗半生閱人無數，甫接觸，已知曼兒能幹堅毅，心裡視為可造之材，但又見曼兒好勝自傲，故對曼兒要求特高，不輕易給予嘉獎，以致曼兒誤覺秀麗針對自己，心裡更加不滿。 
秀麗全副心思為公司解困，但公司上層卻因權力鬥爭而互相傾軋，最後更把秀麗摒出局外。秀麗辭職後，決定忘記過去，努力將來。然而，在求職過程中，才赫然發覺，年屆中年，身形龐大的自己，在市道低迷下，競爭力竟然幾乎等於零。秀麗卒找到一份營業員的工作，由以前朝九晚五耽在寫字樓做決策性的工作，一轉而為終日在街頻撲找生意的營業員。 
藥品公司沒有了秀麗，卻不代表一帆風順。反而未幾，曼兒、炳文、添寶任職的健康食品部門終被解散，三人最終都投入失業大隊之中。炳文生性踏實敦厚，口才平庸，本來就不是一塊營業員的好材料，但一直以來也敬業樂業。當秀麗入主營業部時，眾同事發覺炳文和秀麗有特別關係，以為炳文是「擦鞋王」，曾一度群起而杯葛之，曼兒更因此與炳文關係惡劣。部門解散後，曼兒決定馬死落地行，由身光頸靚的白領儷人，一變而為茶餐廳員工；炳文眼看曼兒的轉變，也為之另眼相看。 
曼兒在困境中爭扎求存，其好友兼同事添寶卻是另一典型人物。添寶在無業無銀情況下，唯有蒙眼蓋頭去駕的士，因此而認識賢德，成為歡喜冤家。其後，添寶眼看好友曼兒在茶餐廳努力工作，自己也有所轉變，開始變得實際。當曼兒提出合力攪茶餐廳時，添寶也決定助好友一臂之力。曼兒的表妹巧璧是經濟低迷下，唯一不受影響的幸福絕少數，巧璧節儉成性，一直以來儲下不少私己。在經濟低迷下，巧璧卻成為沒有按揭負累，有穩定收入，銀行有大量現金的小富婆。因和曼兒攪私幫生意，巧璧認識了志強。志強風趣幽默，有創作才華，令巧璧動心起來。 
另方面，添基醉心音樂，他有著創作人的感性和敏感，他對周圍朋友關心，但從不高調，所以巧璧一直當添基是好朋友，沒想過添基其實對自己早有好感。當巧璧一次又一次的情感失落，添基會用他斷斷續續的音符，令巧璧破涕為笑。 
曼兒在茶餐廳中工作，默默地學習人家的經營手法，其間與秀麗再次相遇。其實，當秀麗離開後，曼兒才知道秀麗一直賞識自己，心裡不禁有點戚戚然。二人重遇，曼兒發現秀麗天生就是一個食家兼烹飪家，二人由當初由誤解，至投契，終於決定合力攪茶餐廳生意，合力逆市創奇蹟。
