What is the significance of the meal plot in the ninth episode of "The Hunting Ground"?

Two irrecoverable bad debts

On Xiong Qingchun’s side, several calls from London basically announced that she had pressed the pause button on her relationship with her old love; Zheng In Qiudong, given the current distance between him and the Roy people, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking to rekindle the old relationship.

As a result, the director arranged a sideshow for these two guys who had the same problem. This time, classmate Hui Chenggong, who acted as the "light bulb", used the professional workplace expression "an irrecoverable bad debt" to compare the inferiority of Xiong Qingchun's ex-boyfriend and Zheng Qiudong when Zheng Qiudong went to the toilet. It is recommended that Xiong Qingchun choose Zheng Qiudong who has "better overall resources".

When Zheng Qiudong came back, Hui Chenggong's original words to Xiong Qingchun were replayed in front of him.

This seemingly random arrangement is really a double entendre, killing two birds with one stone. Although the "unrecoverable bad debt" that Hui Chenggong mentioned for the second time still refers to Xiong Qingchun's London boyfriend, in Zheng Qiudong's case, this bad debt still refers to something. People with discerning eyes understand it tacitly.

You come and I go, twists and turns. The emotional drama between two people is, after all, "Yu Ru Yu Cheng".

As the saying goes: We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we meet before?
