The third time, the narrator tells us, it's time for her to "be my woman" for the third time. She's been rejected three times before, but she's still attracted to the company's rich and powerful men. She receives an invitation to speak at an international financial operations conference in New York. She plans to go to the United States with Yongxin and make a final decision before the deadline. She tells the manager that she caught a cold the day before, so she doesn't feel too well. The manager tells her that she has to go with the vice president to attend an investment meeting. The representative of the enterprise tells the narrator that he's heard about the "zhou enterprise" and that chengze is on good terms with the family. He's the one who tried to help the enterprise get the last bidding spot on the auction, but it didn't work out so well.
