The next morning, Ren Shuang is back at work. He's humiliated by his boss, who has sent someone to tell him to go back to his boss and tell him that he's not a "pushover" . Ren tells his boss that he just saw his mother coming out of a staff lounge, and he wants to get directions to her house. He asks his boss to take him back, but his brother-in-law won't help him. Ren says that he can't blame his mother for meddling in his life, and that he will make her never act like that again.
