The chapter opens with a conversation between Lin and Mr. Cai, who are both going on a business trip to China. Lin asks if he needs to book a single room for the two of them. Lin tells him that he has another plan, and that he will need to book two rooms. Lin is unhappy that Lin has booked only one room, and he is displeased that the room is too small. He also complains about the cramped bathroom and the lack of champagne in the bar. He is also upset that Lin made a mistake in only booking one room and that she is "so unreliable." He plans to deduct Lin's salary after they return from the trip.
