The Dream Job - Season 1 Episode 1
A mystery wealthy man offers a dream job to office workers: to live a life of luxury while managing his family-run business. His advertisement, which features Bryan Wong, also lists the monthly salary as $30,000, and a posh car is among the benefits. Some people find the ad dubious, while others are excited. The cars of Li Junfeng (Shaun Chen), a lawyer, and Zhang Qingdong (Hugo Ng), a wealthy man, collide. Intending to pay for the damage, Junfeng gives his namecard to Qingdong, who is startled by the information on the card. Qingdong meets up with Junfeng. Promising an attractive remuneration, he asks Junfeng to undertake a task for him. Qingdong is hiring suitable candidates to be his sons and daughters. He wants Junfeng to invite three people to interview for the job: He Jiazheng (Jeffrey Xu), a 32-year-old surgeon, Lin Zijie (Ian Fang), a 25-year-old actor, and Cheng Huishan (Jeanette Aw), a 30-year-old senior financial advisor. Junfeng tries to persuade the three appointed candidates to attend the interview. Only Zijie is interested. Junfeng bribes Jiang Xinya (Rebecca Lim), a nurse whom Jiazheng likes, to get him to join her for the interview. To attain his aim, Junfeng is willing to go to any length. He bribes Huishan’s boyfriend, Tim (Romeo Tan), to make her lose money on an investment. Huishan loses her job as a result. She slaps Tim in anger and breaks up with him upon learning he is the reason behind her failed investment. With nowhere to stay, she decides to go for the interview. Jiazheng, Huishan, Zijie and Xinya make it to the second round of interviews. Junfeng’s laptop contains a lot of information on Qingdong, including an old photo showing Qingdong with Junfeng’s mother, Ziyun. Junfeng looks at Qingdong in the photo with hatred. The group turns up at a restaurant for the second interview. Two armed men barge in and take Qingdong hostage.
