What would you if you were 34 years old and laid off from your job? Li Shu Fen gets fired from her job despite giving it many years of loyal service. Unable to find another job, Shu Fen uses her baby face to her advantage when she ends up lying about her age and taking an entry-level job as a 25-years-old rookie for a major clothing company.
