The scene opens with a description of a beautiful young woman who is an intern at a company called "Feng Group." The young woman is wearing a mask, and the company's manager is not interested in her because she is too beautiful to be a part of the show business. The manager is displeased with the young woman's behavior, and he tells her that she is a snob and that she has an affair with a man named "pang-qi." He asks her if she loves him more than his fiancee, and she replies that she does. He tells her to apologize to the manager and says that the company will no longer cooperate with her. She kneels before him and asks him to forgive her, but he refuses, saying that he does not recognize her. He says that he will take her with him to Egypt for a negotiation the next day.
