She was absolutely done with living in the gutters of poverty!
She had great plans for her future but she needed money to make them possible.
When she was young, Xinghe was cavalier with her spending because she believed in her money earning capability. She would spend every cent that she earned, her account was pretty much always empty.
Xinghe then was too proud to focus all her energy on earning money.
She thought she could live without constraints the rest of her life with no money worries.
She didn't have a habit of saving and spent most of her time discovering the world of computers.
From her perspective, mastering a skill could help her earn more than enough money when she needed to.
However, cruel fate stripped her of her family riches, only then she knew the importance of money.
She had learnt to appreciate every single cent.
Crudely put, currently, she needed money!
