Mr. Beiming arrives at the office and asks Mingke to meet him. Mingke protests that the president won't meet him without an appointment, but Mr. Bel-Imperio points out that it's impossible for the president to meet Mingke in person. He tells Mingke that he'll be able to meet her in person the next time she visits the office. The narrator comments that Mingke is a "real surprise" each time he sees her, and that each time she seems "more beautiful" than the last time he saw her.
