Movie "Driving Miss Wealthy"

Earlier tonight I watched a Chinese movie on CFMT called "Driving Miss Wealthy." I personally enjoyed it. This movie talks about a young woman who lives in a mansion and has servants that does everything for her. She was so spoiled, never drove in her life, doesn't know her left from right...Her father hires this guy as her driver to see what she does all day and how much she spends...man, can she spend. One million a day. After the driver reports this to her father, he cuts her from any funding and pretends to have a heart attack and she gets kicked out. Leaving her w/o money, or clothes. The maid gives her keys though to her father's first house, well an apartment. Very shabby looking, w/ rats, run down. She quickly learns to fend for herself w/ the help of the "bodyguard" and makes money. She turns a "slimdown" pill bottle company into a profitable company and learns to cook, clean and take care of herself; as well as, the "bodyguard" when he was ill. Moving along...when her father thinks she has learned the value of money, they decide to send her home, but before he was able to, he really does have a heart attack. The "bodyguard" a.k.a. Jack Chan tells her that this was all a game but her father now is seriously ill. After finding out this truth, she becomes angry even after her father recovers. She realizes she's in love w/ Jack so her father hires him once again, to play a father, husband to a woman and child. It was quite convincing but she figured out that he was just also acting. Even though she lives in the mansion she'd go back to the shabby apt and cooked and cleaned for herself. While she was there, Jack remained behind the door just watching her. When she left, he appeared and found a piece of writing by her father back in the 60's. Basically, it said, "Don't give up! If you do, you'll never succeed or something." Can't remember the exact quote but it was similar to that. Anywayz, he persues her and finds her in Japan and Jack was hired forever as her bodyguard. It was kinda romantic..I mean he was there for her every step of the way.
