The next morning, Shuo asks his brother why he didn't see him earlier in the day. Shuo says that he saw Mr. zhou and Mr. Qin talking and laughing on his way back from work, and that he has been paying close attention to the capital flow of the city. He plans to organize a meeting to discuss the situation. He also asks if he has seen her for a long while, and she says that she hasn't seen her in a long time. He tells her that he's been busy lately, and he promises that he won't plagiarize any more. He asks if she's still mad at him, and says he knows that he was wrong, but he promises to never repeat the mistake. He says that if she wants to tell him something, she can tell him today. He'll go first to the meeting, and then he'll come back and tell Shuo what he wants to know. He then tells Shuo that he and nian are going to compete in a piano competition, and they're very busy. He wants to give Shuo a present for his birthday, so he has prepared a watch for him.
