LING’s daughter, KITTY, later, she manages to talk her into persuading MR. LING. Adopting WU’s suggestion, MR. LING lets KITTY be the model of the fashion show. As a result, KEI and KIK have to try hard to make KITTY drop the idea. CHIN KWONG LUNG uses a pregnancy test stick to see whether his wife is pregnant.

KING refuses to fund the shooting of an advertisement. KEI argues with her. Seeing this, WU invites KEI to go to Rome with her. YAU sees NAM and GRANNY SWEET at a dessert cafe.

She is so hot that some shops increase their orders so as to get more of her free posters. YAU has bought many presents for her parents.

She tells CHAU the reasons. MAN announces that a Chinese corporation is injecting in the company and that it will appoint either KING or KEI to be the CEO of Asia-Pacific.
