Gu Nian is the fourth generation of a century-old department store. To everyone else she was born with a golden key; only she knows the account has a few months of payroll left. Her sister Gu Minglan wants to sell the old building to an investor, and her fiance Zhou Wei has already worked out the date she should sign. At the board meeting she says no for the first time, then takes a suitcase to a rented room in the south of the city with no heating, where a man lives who runs forty deliveries a day and still gives his umbrella away in the rain.
It rained hard that day. Outside the old department store on Fifth Avenue she pushed her umbrella at a delivery rider squatting on the steps eating a bun. He did not take it; he passed it to a woman holding a child and ran into the rain himself. She stood behind the window a long time, and for the first time every price tag in the store sounded too loud.
