The cost of living is unknown until you're in charge. In the past, Qin Baizhou helped her manage things, Huixing was responsible for operations, and she didn't care much about money. She chose roles based on interest alone, without needing to consider employee salaries, just occasionally giving bonuses to her team. But now, she has full control over the studio, and over the year, rent, employee salaries, marketing, and business—all require money.
In the past, she could ignore it; earnings were earnings, regardless of the amount. But now that's not going to work. Although she could easily live on her own, eating takeout for ten bucks a day, she has a team to support. Though she doesn't lack that $1,500, Bo Yan wants to skimp on her pay, no way!
