Lin Qiaosong desperately wanted to make a name for himself and achieve success, but things went against his wishes. In the end, Kang Shaojie made him a scapegoat and dismissed him for investigation. He was heartbroken and decided to leave Shanghai, this sad place. So he bought two tickets for Singapore for tomorrow morning, intending to take Song Meijuan with him. Lin Qiaosong took Song Meijuan home to pack. Upon entering, he found Kang Shaojie in his house.
Kang Shaojie asked Lin Qiaosong to stay and be in charge of the opium business, promising him an apartment and generous compensation. Lin Qiaosong knew that Kang Shaojie was ruthless and would turn his back on anyone, so he flatly refused. At Kang Shaojie's command, Wen Biao held Song Meijuan at gunpoint, forcing Lin Qiaosong to stay. Lin Qiaosong firmly refused.
Kang Shaojie then accused Song Meijuan of being a Communist Party member and threatened to shoot her, claiming repeatedly that the opium business was an industry of the high-level Nanjing government officials. Lin Qiaosong did not want to serve the corrupt Nanjing government. Kang Shaojie used both coercion and persuasion on him, and Lin Qiaosong had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Although Shen Jinzhen swore oaths, Shen Tunan still suspected she was a Communist Party member, but it was inconvenient for him to say so directly. Shen Tunan noticed that Wei Ruolai and Shen Jinzhen got along well, so he asked Wei Ruolai to remind Shen Jinzhen to think carefully before acting and not to bring death upon herself again.
As soon as Wei Ruolai got off work, he went to the arsenal to pick up Shen Jinzhen and wanted to invite her to dinner. Shen Jinzhen was tired of restaurant food and wanted to eat at Wei Ruolai's home. Wei Ruolai took Shen Jinzhen to Qibao Street. The neighbors all thought they were dating and rushed over to watch the excitement. Wei Ruolai personally cooked a few dishes to treat Shen Jinzhen.
Because his cooking skills were poor, the food was difficult to eat. Shen Jinzhen guessed that Wei Ruolai was entrusted by Shen Tunan to persuade her and asked Wei Ruolai for his opinion on the Communist Party. Wei Ruolai only had a limited understanding and had only heard hearsay. Taking Wei Ruolai's brother Wei Ruochuan as an example, Shen Jinzhen briefly explained the essential difference between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang.
Wei Ruolai was not interested in this; he only wanted to follow Shen Tunan to unify finance. Shen Jinzhen advised him not to work for the corrupt Nanjing government anymore. Wei Ruolai remained stubborn and even reminded Shen Jinzhen not to cause trouble for Shen Tunan. Shen Jinzhen was so angry she was speechless. Niu Chunmiao took a train to Shanghai. As soon as she got off the train, she saw a thief stealing a mother and son's wallet.
She calmly retrieved the wallet and returned it to the pair. The thief rushed forward to hit Niu Chunmiao, but she was not afraid. She even called the railway police to threaten him. The thief was so scared he ran away in a panic. Niu Chunmiao was engaged to Wei Ruolai since childhood. She traveled thousands of miles from her hometown in Jiangxi to join Wei Ruolai in Shanghai.
Niu Chunmiao was deeply attracted by the prosperity and liveliness of Shanghai upon her arrival. She went through a lot of trouble to find the Central Bank. Wei Ruolai happened to be coming to work. Niu Chunmiao joyfully cheered and clung tightly to him, refusing to let go. Wei Ruolai quickly took Niu Chunmiao to his office. Niu Chunmiao lied that her father had sent her to Shanghai to marry Wei Ruolai.
Wei Ruolai had already written home to cancel the engagement. Niu Chunmiao flatly refused and cursed Wei Ruolai, calling him a heartless man. Wei Ruolai explained repeatedly, but she did not believe him at all. Wei Ruolai didn't know what to do for a moment, so he took Niu Chunmiao to look for a place to stay. Xu Nuo asked Shen Jinzhen to recruit Wei Ruolai, but Wei Ruolai was stubborn. Shen Jinzhen was helpless and began to back down.
Xu Nuo offered her advice and ideas. Wei Ruolai brought Niu Chunmiao back to Qibao Street. The neighbors talked about them animatedly. Wei Ruolai saw that Niu Chunmiao had run away from home and advised her to return to her hometown as soon as possible. Niu Chunmiao wanted to stay in Shanghai and make a fortune, absolutely refusing to be a burden to Wei Ruolai.
Niu Chunmiao saw a tissue with lipstick in the trash can and guessed that Wei Ruolai had a rich girlfriend. Wei Ruolai didn't want to explain too much. He moved into the rickshaw pullers' dormitory. A-Wen curiously asked about the reason, but Wei Ruolai made up random excuses to cover it up. Wei Ruolai brought Niu Chunmiao breakfast early, along with rouge and powder. Niu Chunmiao ate the meal ravenously.
Niu Chunmiao saw A-Wen when she went out, treated him like a brother, and wanted to take him along to make a fortune. A-Wen couldn't refuse Niu Chunmiao, so he had to accompany her. Niu Chunmiao set up a stall at the alley entrance, using a coin-guessing game to attract many neighbors to watch. Taking the opportunity, she took out the ginger slices she brought from her hometown to sell. Everyone immediately dispersed.
A-Wen lied that Niu Chunmiao was his cousin and called all the neighbors back, even tasting the ginger himself. Aunt Zhou heard the news and rushed over. She tried guessing the coin twice and failed both times. In a fit of anger, she turned to leave. A-Wen persuaded her to come back and buy the ginger slices. Seeing this, the neighbors also scrambled to buy. The large bag of ginger slices Niu Chunmiao brought quickly sold out.
She split half the money with A-Wen and even treated him to a drink. A-Wen was overjoyed and readily agreed to follow Niu Chunmiao from then on.
