The man shook his head and declared, "Passion is useless. Being passionate only brings me suffering now!"
"You’re right, passion alone is useless. Realistically speaking, you need something else that’s important: money!"
"Are you kidding me? Do I look like I have any money on me now?"
Ning Xi blinked her eyes and patted her chest, "Not you. I do!"
"You…?" The man looked at her doubtfully.
Ning Xi slung an arm around him to support the man up and patted his shoulder, "Rise up, young man! Your life is just about to start! And your fate will change, starting this very second!"
The man looked at Ning Xi like an idiot and he flopped back onto the ground…
Ning Xi put her hands on her hips and glared at him. "What? You don’t believe me?! Fine, I’m telling you now, I really like your work and you know that I’m not lying, seeing how I have bought most of your designs. So here I am officially extending you an invitation to collaborate. Are you interested?"
