The chapter opens with a knock at the door. It's the vice general manager of the Luqiao branch of the company, Gu lai, and his assistant, Mr. yun, who have come to pay their respects to the company's chairman. They've heard that the chairman is in town, so they come to say their greetings. They don't want to be rude to the chairman, but they're afraid that he'll be offended by their rudeness. They decide that they'll try to find out who the chairman's relatives are, so that they can introduce them to the boss.
