The serious and old-fashioned female boss and the stiff and prudent male subordinate, from the cold relationship between superiors and subordinates to revealing their hearts to each other, from temptation, dodging to falling in love, this is an ordinary middle-aged love story, but it is interesting and exciting. The film expresses the celebration of warm love and the thinking of complex human nature by telling the story that happened in the office.

First of all, the main love in the film is the slapstick but deep and moving love between the female boss and the male subordinate. The heroine, known as a "cold-blooded animal", after hearing the hero's belittling of her, pretended to be calm at work the next day but still cried aggrieved. She revealed to the hero why she had been single for many years, and the hero also began to cry. Sympathizing and understanding the heroine, he started a series of activities such as sending flowers, deliberately leaving get off work late, and successfully attracted the heroine's attention. It can be said that their love begins with contradictions and embarrassment, which reflects that love begins with mutual understanding and sincere concern for others. On a certain level, love is to warm people's hearts. The heroine, who only wears a suit every day, begins to learn to dress more femininely, becoming elegant, moving, kind and funny. Driven by love, the male staff who were originally submissive and eloquent also fully showed their kindness, tenderness and bravery. Their lives were transformed, no doubt thanks to love, which made them show a side of warmth that no one knew, it was love that brought them back to life.

Of course, this love is achieved by two people working together, so the film also reflects the value of being brave in pursuit of love. One is a strong female director, and the other is a mediocre male subordinate, and there is a considerable gap in their status. The male protagonist is married and has two children, and the female protagonist has also been betrayed and left a psychological shadow. There are too many contradictions and obstacles between them. Despite this, they gradually entered each other's hearts, and their feelings warmed up quickly. Later, the deputy director's provocation caused them to misunderstand, but the heroine still decided to appoint the hero as the director of the light industry department, and the hero also melted the heroine's heart with an affectionate kiss. So the whole story is a record of love from bud to blossom and fruit, and a hymn to two people's efforts to strive for happiness.

In addition to love, the film also reflects the complexity of human nature through the various people in the office. When the second male lead appeared, he was introduced as a good guy, and he was always friendly to his friends (the male lead and female second), and he took the initiative to help the male lead get a promotion. But in the face of No. 2's affectionate feelings, he didn't appreciate it at all and made the matter public, making No. 2 the laughing stock of everyone. On the surface, he is warm and generous, but he is cold and hypocritical on the inside, and the ruthless harm to his friends for his own reputation is really unpredictable. On the contrary, the heroine was called a cold-blooded animal when she appeared, and was considered an old woman who could not marry, but later she gradually showed a gentle and considerate side in her relationship with the hero, and showed great feminine charm. Some people reveal their true nature in interpersonal communication, but some people show only the tip of the iceberg. Their vast and beautiful inner world needs to be discovered by people who understand them. People with a frosty appearance may have softer hearts than others. They are just waiting for the opportunity to express their hearts, waiting for people who are willing to listen to them.
