Since there is a tense atmosphere in the box, Zhong Shaoting’s buddy can’t help but explain: “Shaoting, it was the woman who bumped into me and kept leaning against me. For a moment I was out of control and held her in my arms. But I didn’t do anything else, and I don’t know why she burst into tears.” Zhong Shaoting, knowing his buddy quite well, says: “Enough. Everyone knows you are a playboy. If there haven’t been so many people talking about it, would you have let the girl go?” After hearing this, Zhong’s buddy becomes silent, as it was indeed his fault. And it is also true that he would absolutely take the girl away for a night if there hadn’t been so many people discussing beside.
Soon, the door of the box is pushed open. Adjusting her emotions, Bai Beiwang walks in with a pathetic look, and then she says timidly: “I’m not a casual girl. To make a living, I take a job here. But I come here just for work, not for selling myself. So, today you must give me an explanation!” Hearing this, Zhong Shaoting casts a stern glance at his buddy: “Sure. I’ll let him apologize to you. If you want other compensations, just tell us. I will let him meet your requirements as much as possible.” “What does she want? She doesn’t get on well with her family and has to work here. In my view, she just wants to extort some money to make her life easier, and by the way, to show her family that she can live a good life even without them. Listen, Shaoting, I’ve seen too many people like her. Woman, just tell me how much money you want, and I’ll accept it.” Zhong Shaoting’s buddy says sarcastically.
Being mocked, Bai Beiwang feels greatly humiliated: “How can you say that? You don’t even know me! I was doing my job here, but today you made such a big scandal outside and it was witnessed by many people. There will absolutely be someone harassing me sooner or later. How can I go on with my job?” When hearing the first part of what she said, Zhong Shaoting’s buddy feels that he might have said something a little hurtful, as this girl is possibly not that kind of person he thought of. However, after Bai Beiwang finishes her words, Zhong’s buddy looks down upon her even more and ridicules: “Wow, so ambitious! Wanting no money means wanting something more. Do you want to marry me with your low status? You’re daydreaming.”
Listening to their conversation, other friends also look contemptuous as if Bai Beiwang were really daydreaming. Bai cries in a low voice after Zhong’s buddy said that to her, which reminds Zhong Shaoting of Ding Manman who would also hide in somewhere alone and cry quietly when being bullied by him. Ding never showed her aggressiveness or weakness to him. Now, looking at Bai Beiwang who is all tears, Zhong Shaoting feels extremely annoyed and shouts at his buddy: “Enough. You have gone too far. It is your fault, anyway. Make an apology to this girl first and then give her some money as compensation. The amount should be enough to meet her request.” Next, Zhong turns to Bai Beiwang: “Nobody cares what kind of person you are. And don’t try pestering my friend. Just say what you want.”
Zhong’s suggestion satisfies everybody. Then, his buddy takes the initiative: “Lady, I am sorry. It was my fault to harass you. You can ask for anything that I can afford.” Knowing that she won’t get anything better even if she keeps arguing, and in order not to make Zhong feel impatient with her, Bai Beiwang agrees: “I accept your apology. Just now I said that I would probably lose this job which is the source of my income. Since I’ve just finished my school and have little working experience, no one will employ me. So after losing my job, I hope you can find me a good one.” There may be some doubt why Bai Beiwang only asks for a job right now since her goal is to approach Zhong Shaoting, not his buddy, for revenge. Actually, Bai Beiwang has already investigated the man she bumped into before carrying out her plan, and has come to know that the man is just an incompetent idler whose family has already banned him from arranging anybody for their own company no matter for what reason.
However, years ago when Zhong Shaoting was in trouble, his buddy’s parents offered help. Although it had little effect, Zhong Shaoting kept their kindness in mind. After Zhong developed and grew powerful, he also tried to offer business or financial help to them for many times in order to show his gratitude. But they didn’t accept. Later, Zhong started to offer every kind of help to their son instead. Therefore, this time Zhong Shaoting will definitely help his buddy as usual. As expected, Zhong’s buddy feels awkward after hearing Bai’s request: “I want to help you, but I really can’t do anything about it. My father has banned me from taking part in any internal affairs of our family company.” Pretending to be emotional, Bai Beiwang questions him: “You are a man! You want to break your promise?” Hearing this, Zhong Shaoting immediately comes forward: “Stop. I will help you.” Achieving what she wants, Bai asks: “So where can I find you? When can I go to work?”
Taking out a business card, Zhong Shaoting hands it to Bai Beiwang and says: “This is my assistant’s phone number. I will tell him to arrange everything for you. Just call him tomorrow.”
Solving this problem, Zhong Shaoting checks the time and remembers Ding Manman who is still waiting for him at home, after which he leaves this troublesome place in a hurry. Looking at Zhong’s receding figure which is quite handsome, Bai Beiwang murmurs with a peculiar feeling emerging inside: “You haven’t known my name yet…” Later, when everyone leaves, Bai Beiwang’s mobile phone rings, and a voice comes from the other end: “Xiaobei, it’s so late now, why haven’t you come back?” Coping with those people all night, Bai Beiwang feels quite warm when her family shows care to her, and then she answers: “Don’t worry. I am going home. Don’t wait for me. Please go to bed first.”
Arriving home, Bai Beiwang finds her mother still waiting for her on the sofa, so she goes forward and says: “Mom, why didn’t you go to bed? I am already an adult, and I can take care of myself. Oh, could you please tell my father that recently I won’t go to the company? I want to have a rest these days. And by the way, please remind father of taking care of his health, which is the basis of doing everything.” “OK, I know. Take care of yourself. It’s so late, go to bed now.” Mrs. Bai exhorts.
Getting washed, Bai Beiwang lies on her bed and declares in her heart: “The game is on. Let’s wait and see!”
