One of Sister Ma's old colleagues from her previous workplace honorably joined the Communist Party of China before retiring. She made a special trip to share this good news with Sister Ma because the two had started working at the same time and had written their first party membership application together. Sister Ma was both happy for her old colleague and saddened for herself, feeling that her early retirement had prematurely ended her political life. As an idle person now, she felt she had no right to mention joining the party anymore. Because of this, she was melancholic for several days until she suddenly received a notice to attend a meeting at the street office. It turned out that the street where Sister Ma lived had developed a small convenience hotel but couldn't find a suitable candidate for the position, so they thought of Sister Ma. Having worked at the State Council Guesthouse for many years before retirement, she was hired as a temporary proxy. Sister Ma felt very excited to be able to contribute to society in her lifetime, believing that she could accept the organizational test in her new position, and that there was hope for her to join the party. So, the night before starting her new job, she wrote an application to join the party. However, unexpectedly, as soon as the hotel opened for trial operation, many troubles arose. Sister Ma struggled to handle various issues and ended up offending quite a few neighbors who came to benefit from her new venture. Worse, she was unaware that she had made an enemy in the office — accountant Old Xu actually wanted to be the manager of the small hotel and was displeased that Sister Ma took that position. He was only dispatched by superiors for quarterly financial inspections. On the surface, Old Xu was eager to provide advice to Sister Ma, but secretly, he was looking for faults in her, preparing to find some leverage to replace her. However, Sister Ma considered Old Xu a confidant and let her guard down. The street leadership called Sister Ma in for a talk, reminding her to pay attention to policies and principles, or it would affect her application to join the party. Sister Ma began to waver, started to distance herself from her sister, and ultimately felt that the most important thing was to truly align her thoughts with joining the party, so she gritted her teeth and held on. Her training unexpectedly led to a success, earning Sister Ma attention and praise from all sectors of society. Her sister was also accepted for free admission to a certain school, and their joint photo was published in the newspaper. Sister Ma went to find Old Xu, trying to bring up his past secrets subtly. Old Xu was cautious at first and later felt that she had ulterior motives, using various excuses to avoid her. After Old Xu discovered the truth, he felt very ashamed and was even more afraid to face his daughter. Sister Ma, not holding any grudges, promised to slowly work on getting the sisters to reconcile, but her sister couldn't accept the fact. Especially after realizing that her father was the man she disliked the most, Old Xu, she felt rage. In the end, she made a prerequisite for recognizing him: Old Xu must invite Sister Ma back to the hotel as the head manager. Old Xu, naturally unwilling and even questioning Sister Ma’s motives for doing good, had no choice but to step down to make amends for his past wrongs towards his daughter. Sister Ma returned to the hotel, only to find it in disarray. Just then, the authorities conducted a surprise inspection and imposed a business suspension penalty. However, to save face for Old Xu in front of her sister, Sister Ma covered for him, taking all the blame herself. This led relevant parties to believe that Sister Ma had become arrogant again and issued her a warning that if she did not rectify the situation in a timely manner, her qualification as a key development target would be revoked. Sister Ma had to fix the issues at the hotel while also working on the reunion between Old Xu and his daughter. Meanwhile, the office assigned a previously released prisoner, Xiao Guo, to Sister Ma for rehabilitation assistance, while a new guest at the hotel — a fugitive with cosmetic surgery — aimed to secretly recruit Xiao Guo for another crime... Amidst the crises, Sister Ma's home life was also "on fire" — her husband, Old Wang, was involved in a "scandal" with another woman. Sister Ma's membership development meeting was canceled due to a murder case at the hotel, and she found herself implicated in "murder" without witnesses. Her sister did not acknowledge her new father but accepted Sister Ma as a godmother. In the end, Sister Ma managed to survive a desperate situation, capturing the fugitive and achieving new merit, thus rapidly joining the party.
