The teacher wants to know if the student can pass the exam. The student says he can't, but he's ready to take the exam anyway. The teacher asks the student to tell him his name, and the student says that he'll be a "laughingstock" if he doesn't tell her. He tells the teacher that he hasn't passed the exam in ten years, and that even passing it is considered a "improvement." The teacher tells the student that he should be proud of himself for passing the exam, because it's an improvement over what he was when he was younger. He also tells him that he has grown up since then, and he thinks that the teacher is trying to find out if he can find his old friend, the man who strangled him when they were students. He says that the only thing that the man would remember about him is that he strangled him. He's relieved, since the man wouldn't remember him, but the teacher asks if the students are expecting something from the guest list. The guest list is full of distinguished guests from the day's entertainment scene, including Mr. Jin Xiaozhen, who's now the head of a major international corporation. The students are excited to see the man, and they ask the teacher to let them know if they see him.
