"So, you are saying that I should become the dog of a nobody who hides in the dark corner?" Zhao Chuchu laughed even harder. "Do you really think that I would lower my head and follow someone like you for riches?"

"I'm only giving you one chance. There won't be a second one."

"Forget it. You know what I can do, so why should I work for you? I could easily make money with my own talent. There's no reason for me to work for someone else."
