In this chapter, we learn that the creator of the comic is a young man named Lan. He is a member of a bridge group, and he has been working on a business partnership with his father, Mr. Tang. The two men have been quarreling over the business plan, and now the business has not yet delivered on its sales target. Lan tells his father that the business is in a bad financial state, and that he will have to cut ties with the company if it does not double its sales in the next six months. Lan says that he has come up with a solution to the problem: he has invented a new kind of dye that is free from harmful chemicals. The dye is made from natural indigo roots, which are extracted from the indigowoad plant. Lan explains that the dye is used in the traditional tie, which is dyed with natural indigo. He says that his father has also admitted that the company is not bad, because of all the hard work done by all the members of the group.
