In this chapter, we learn that the two men are friends of gao's, and that gao is in love with a woman named Yueyun. The two men have not yet been married, but they are in love and are planning to marry in the near future. They are very close, and gao tells his friend that he hopes that he will behave himself so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding between them. He tells him that he has invited him to dinner and that he is not angry with the company because of him. He says that he does not know why the company is in trouble because of his drinking, but he does know that the director does not allow him to disturb him while he is at work. He also says that the reason why he fired Yueyun was because of her "private matter" . He then tells her that if she does not accept his proposal, he will not see her again and that they will not be able to see each other in the future. He asks her to wash her hands and to eat her dumplings.
