The narrator is moved by the sight of the girl's crying. He realizes that he has been living in the "ivory tower" for too long and has forgotten that the outside world is "sinister." He suggests that he find another job. If he cannot be a host, he could become a reporter or an editor. He also suggests that if he cant be a journalist, he can become an "editor." He says that he will not give up on his dream of being a hostess. The narrator tells Mr. Tang that he can give her the ceo position at the pavilion if he agrees. He says he likes women who compromise and that he accepts this job for now because it is not fulfilling his original dream. Mr. tang tells the narrator that the contract has been drawn up for her first visit to the pavilion. He tells her that the pavilion is a "high-end club in zhuming," which means that they are not eligible for membership, but that the "high - ranking director" is a member. The businessman in front of the narrator is the "obstinate fat man." The narrator asks the lawyer to draft the contract for her, but he says he has not had time to look at it. The lawyer says that if the contract is inappropriate, they will revise it.
