She didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It's just an adventure. Life is all about taking chances. The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation.
[It’s a pleasure to work with you. I will contact you about the next steps. I will package you as an independent musician and you will become famous. But don’t participate in variety shows because the host will ask you to improvise and you may be questioned. Try to participate in fewer interviews and keep some mystery. Got it?]
Just thinking about it made Xu Lu's blood boil.

She once said, 'All gifts bestowed by fate have already been secretly marked with a price', and this came true for her.
She was blinded by her own greed and had no time to consider the painful price she would have to pay if the truth came out one day.
It is truly pitiful for people whose abilities do not match their ambitions.

The old lady of the Ye family wanted to see her granddaughter-in-law so much that she came to Haicheng with Ye Minqiu.
I live in Yuannan Mansion in the city. The mansion is surrounded by plane trees. Now that the leaves have fallen off in winter, the streets are much brighter than usual.
Even though it was a cold winter, the floor heating in the house was sufficient, and the old lady was wearing a cheongsam, looking graceful and elegant.
"When can I see that little girl?"
Ye Minqiu made black tea for the old lady, washed the tea several times, and said slowly: "How about I test the kid's attitude first?"
The old lady was dissatisfied: "As a mother, how come you have to listen to your tone and look at your son's face?"
"Oh my, my old mother, you know your grandson's temper. If you make him unhappy, what should I do if he becomes a pilot for his whole life? I want to play mahjong with you and go out for a walk more often."
The old lady poked her forehead and said, "You are just having fun, but you always blame me."
"I'll call and ask what that kid means."
Ye Minqiu dialed the phone, and Fu Nanli's voice came soon: "What's the matter?"
Ye Minqiu complained about the official tone: "At first I thought you were my boss."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Ye Minqiu couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Well, the old lady wants to see your little girlfriend."
"No."
The phone was on speakerphone, so the old lady heard everything clearly. Her face darkened and she looked a little unhappy.
"Why not? Didn't she come to Shaocheng to see you last time?"
Fu Nanli said indifferently: "She is shy."
Ye Minqiu raised her eyebrows. She had seen that girl before. She was very graceful and not shy at all.
"Your grandmother came to Haicheng just to see her. You, kid, bring her here to see her."
"Let's talk later. I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now."
Ye Minqiu looked at the phone and clicked his tongue: "You bastard."
The old lady was also unhappy: "We don't eat humans, do you really need to be so wary of us?"
Ye Minqiu said: "It seems that he really treasures that little girl."
The old lady became interested again: "I really don't even dare to think about it. I always thought Nan Li didn't have any emotions."
"Let's not worry about Nan Li. I'll go find the girl myself."
Ye Minqiu asked the driver to drive to the Central Conservatory of Music. It was Friday. The car waited at the back door for a while, and then saw Wen Qiao and a girl walking out with bags on their backs.
In the warm winter sun, the little girl wore a loose beige short down jacket, jeans and ankle boots. She was tall and slender, and very eye-catching in the crowd.
She got out of the car, and Wen Qiao was a little surprised to see Mrs. Fu.
