The scene opens in a hotel ballroom in Shanghai. It's the first time we've seen boss jiang, and he's a little nervous about meeting his old friend. He's worried that he'll be teased for being a spy, but he doesn't want to hurt his feelings. He tells jiang that he has a little sister named Jiang xi, and asks if he can ask his father for directions to the hotel. Aww, that's kind of awkward. The two of them have a little chat, and jiang brags about his little sister. He says that his father might suspect him of being an agent, but that there are plenty of other people in the city who would fight over the same thing. He also says that ding ding is just an ex-girlfriend, and that there's still a lot of work to be done before she can get over him. . He then tells ding to be careful, because he heard that he claimed that she was his sister, and warns ding not to get too far ahead of him. He adds that he heard a rumor that a certain director was earning six figures in a night, so it's not a good time to be a small-time actor. He asks ding if he has any good roles to offer. ding says that small actors like him are not worth their time, because they don't have the money to support themselves. He goes on to tell ding that his cousin got into a fight with him because ding was flirting with his sister , which ding thinks is a bad sign. DING DING says that one day, ding will die because of ding's mouth, and then ding should shut up.
