The chapter opens with a conversation between the two men, who have just returned from a shopping mall in Shanghai. The two men shake hands and shake hands again. This time, they are business partners, and the conversation is interrupted by the arrival of the president of Zhejiang province, who has come to meet with the president. The president tells the two that they have become business partners and that they hope they can "let bygones" be bygones. He asks the two if they went to the mall the day before, and they both admit that they went there to talk about an acquisition, and then met up with Bela there. When the president asks why the woman is staring at him, the two admit that it is because she is "shadowing" them, and that she is trying to ridicule them all day long.
