The next morning, Mr. Zhu prepares breakfast for Mr. Xingpei. Mr. Zizi asks if Mr. Huo's health has improved, and Mr. Zhang tells him that it has not. He then asks if he has experienced any difficulties, and the doctor replies that he has not, and that his condition is not just that of a leader. He also says that he is not surprised that Mr. Guo gave him a large golden croaker as a fee for his consultation, as he had always thought that the man was a teacher. The doctor then asks whether Mr. Gan is trying to do anything for himself, or whether it is the man who gave him the money that makes him happy. The man replies that, when he is in front of the doctor, he can only think of him and not of other men.
