The chapter opens with a conversation between the two men, who are discussing the status of women in society. The two men discuss the importance of status for women, and the fact that it is more important for a man to show his wife that he loves her than for her to show him that she is his wife. The men discuss whether they are satisfied with their jobs and whether they would like to work for each other. The first man says that he is a new employee at the company, and his colleagues treat him well. The second man tells the story of how ji dong was ostracized by her co-workers and forced to perform tasks that were not her own . The third man says he is willing to give anything to her, but why should she have to take everything on herself. The fourth man asks where he is working, and he says that his wife is a "wolf in sheeps clothing" . He says that the saying goes, "Behind every successful man, there is a successful woman" , and that he and his wife love each other very much
