The chapter opens with a conversation between the vice president and the new secretary. The vice president tells the secretary that he and the secretary have known each other for some time, and that the secretary has only been at the company for a few weeks. The new secretary is surprised to learn that vice president Qin is with the secretary fang, and she is not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing for her. She is also surprised because she has given up on the "yin-yang" philosophy that the vice presidency has taught her, but she is still hopeful that she will be able to get over it.
