Hearing her mother constantly urging her to return to the Xiao Group, Mary Xiao was utterly puzzled and asked, "Mom, what kind of brainwashing potion did Grandma give you? Why do you insist on me going back to the Xiao Group?"

Elizabeth Ma was also anxious and said, "Isn't it obvious that the Xiao Group offers a million-dollar annual salary? Isn't that better than you starting your own business? What if you lose money in your venture? What will happen to your dad and me?"

Mary Xiao replied firmly, "Mom, stop it. I will never go back to the Xiao Group. Even if I have to beg on the streets, I won't return! I may not fight for a steamed bun, but I will fight for my dignity!"

Elizabeth Ma, looking frustrated, scolded Mary, "Dignity? What's the use of dignity without money?"
