In this short scene, we get a glimpse into the mind of a young woman who works as a prostitute in Shanghai. She tells us that she is in love with a man named Lu Man, and that she wants to marry him, but she is afraid that he will be jealous of her. She is also afraid that if she marries him, she will lose her job at the company. The prostitute tells her that she will have to go back to work because she has urgent business to attend to. She also tells the young woman that she has to sign a contract before midnight. The young woman tells the prostitute that she can have her own apartment soon, and the prostitute agrees to sell the apartment to her for the same price as the one Lu Man was willing to offer. She then tells the girl that she must pay the fifteen thousand dollar deposit and the twenty thousand dollar fee for the real estate agent. The girl is shocked, and she tells the taxi driver that she was too angry to accept the offer. The taxi driver says that he did everything he could to find the right apartment for her, but he chose Lu Man because he was the only one who cared about her feelings.
