This chapter opens with a conversation between Lin and her sister-in-law. Lin tells her that she has not slept with her husband for a long time, and that she knows him more than she does. Lin asks her where she got the money to buy her necklace, and she tells him that she used it to pay for the next six months' rent. Lin says that she is not even making any money, because she is so important that she needs to pay the rent. She tells her sister that if she continues to be wasteful, they will end up homeless on the streets. Lin tries to calm her down, saying that she just wants to give her a surprise: she is getting her salary in the next month, so she doesn't need to worry about it. Lin thinks that Lin is being ungrateful because she bought her a gift, and this is the way she reacts. She thinks that she can't keep supporting her, since she is always working for someone else. She says that when she had the opportunity to go abroad to study, she was able to help her. Lin sends a message to her saying that he has been selected to study film production in the United States. Lin is excited to submit her resume the next day. Lin's boss, the Chairman of the Film and Television Company, tells Lin that he is impressed with her first day on the job. He says that he was dazzled by her charm of maturity, and he hopes that she won't flatter him tonight. Lin thanks the Chairman for helping her out.
