The scene opens with a conversation between the young woman and her mother. The young woman tells her mother that she and her husband are going to visit a friend of hers at a fancy hotel in Shanghai. She tells the mother that her husband, who is a rich man, has given her a membership card to the hotel, which entitles her to all the privileges of the exclusive club. She asks her mother why she has to pay such a high annual fee to get into the hotel. She also tells her that the hotel is full of dogs, which she does not want to leave. She invites her mother to join a group of rich people in a chat room, where she will be able to express her gratitude to the rich man for his generous gifts. She then tells the young man that she has no money, but wishes him good fortune and prosperity. He responds by saying that he has the best luck in life, and wishes her good fortune. He then asks her why the president is so happy, and she tells him that he is smiling because he is going to criticize her later. He asks her to wait and see if she is feeling well.
