Eight Hundred and Eight Favors, Nine Thousand Lessons
Zhao Qiang booked his old classmate Ye Qing's hotel for the National Day holiday, an 880-yuan-a-night panoramic suite. Ye Qing turned down a high-priced booking to keep the room for him at the original price. However, his wife Liu Mei stumbled upon an ad for a "380-yuan luxury suite in the city center" and forced Zhao Qiang to ask Ye Qing for a discount. Ye Qing calmly refused, saying 880 was already a favor price. Zhao Qiang slammed the table and canceled the booking on the spot, getting his 2,000-yuan deposit back down to the last penny. Ye Qing didn't try to make them stay, and the top-floor suite was snapped up by someone else at full price right away. Meanwhile, the hotline Liu Mei dialed was dragging them step by step into an unexpected farce.

Zhao Qiang menempah hotel rakan lamanya Ye Qing untuk cuti Hari Kebangsaan, iaitu suite panorama 880 yuan semalaman. Ye Qing menolak tempahan harga tinggi untuk menyimpan bilik itu untuknya pada harga asal. Namun isterinya Liu Mei terjumpa iklan "suite mewah pusat bandar 380 yuan" dan memaksa Zhao Qiang meminta Ye Qing menurunkan harga. Ye Qing menolak dengan tenang, menyatakan 880 sudah pun harga budi. Zhao Qiang mengetuk meja dan membatalkan tempahan di tempat, mengambil kembali deposit dua ribu yuan tanpa kurang sesen pun. Ye Qing tidak menahan mereka, dan suite tingkat atas terus ditempah oleh orang lain dengan harga penuh. Sementara itu, talian panas yang didail oleh Liu Mei sedang mengheret mereka langkah demi langkah ke dalam sebuah komedi yang tidak dijangka.
