Bailu said, "It's not as simple as you make it sound. Our station strictly forbids hosts from participating in commercial activities; anyone caught is fired on the spot. With just my monthly salary and a few allowances, I simply couldn't afford such expensive plane tickets. I know flying is fast and comfortable, and if we could afford it, we wouldn't take the train home every year. I only flew this time because I genuinely couldn't get a train ticket."
Wu Hua thought about it and realized it made sense. Nowadays, stars and big names in various artistic performance troupes were chasing after money through commercial shows, becoming a widespread trend. The cultural authorities had repeatedly issued bans, yet the practice persisted despite all prohibitions. It was only natural for the television station to implement such a rule. However, a famous host like Bailu didn't need to care about such restrictions—if this place wouldn't keep her, other places surely would. With her fame, she wouldn't have to worry about making a living anywhere!
Wu Hua chuckled and shared this thought with Bailu. Bailu replied, "You're quite right, but I have no desire to participate in those amateurish, roadside-style performances. You can't make much money from such small-scale gigs, and it's simply not worth getting fired by the station over it. If I'm going to do it, I want to do it like Sister Shanshan—making movies and becoming a big star, gaining both fame and fortune!"
