In this chapter, we learn that Linda left her job as a designer at a clothing company and started her own company. She was paid 500 dollars a month at first, but the company grew and became one of the top clothing brands in the industry. She also learned how to save money by not spending as much as she could. She says that expecting to jump from the bottom to the top by marriage is "inadvisable" and that people only admire women who are successful. She advises that women should not borrow money from the bank, especially not for cosmetic surgery or luxuries. Linda says that she will change her script so that the company can talk about how to avoid "consumerist traps" in the future. She tells us that she is here because she misses the dumplings she makes. The other company that is in the competition for Linda's company has a team of 10 people, but they are not as efficient as hers. They have decided to let her company and one of her competitors bid for the partnership. Linda asks if she had a guest the night before, and the company wants her to deliver some documents to her boss. She wants to know why the ex-song qun did not know that she was his girlfriend.
