Cantonese Version
Leung is Richard Ma, a filthy rich businessman who buys and sells companies for a living. Richard’s Chinese name is Sui Yan, which is wordplay for “bastard”. Richard lives up to that name as he’s a cheap, petty man who fires most of his staff because he wants to save money. He’s due for a rude awakening, and it comes when he’s forced to play poor guy for a weekend. His house gets looted by a mean ex-girlfriend, his credit cards are frozen, and he’s left with no cash. Thankfully, he can attach himself to Ah Choi (Shu Qi), a strugging financial analyst who needs a pretend boyfriend to ward off the advances of a childhood friend who’s stalking her. She brings Richard home to meet her dad (Wong Yat-Fei) as part of the ruse, but thanks to the usual romantic comedy circumstances the pretend romance develops into something real.
