4739 Never Too Late to Love (146)
“Everyone in the company knows about it. Whether it’s real or otherwise, it’s not just me saying it.” With that, the assistant smiled and left.

The department head leaned back in her chair and suddenly felt confounded.

This society was not as romantic as what they portrayed it to be on television dramas and novels. What Cinderella and Prince Charming… it was impossible for such a plot to happen in reality.

There is a reason behind why people say a couple should match each other in social status. There is a significant disparity between the rich and the poor.

Not to mention ordinary people like Bai Sheng, even for female celebrities in the entertainment industry, many of them wished they could squeeze their way into wealthy families. However, truly wealthy families would never think highly of them.

Although the aristocratic system had been abolished in the country, just by looking at the banquets, charity events, and famous private clubs, it was clear that the abolition of the aristocratic system was just a superficial matter. In reality, many rich people liked to have noble titles. Everyone wanted to become an elite. Human vanity and arrogance had always been deeply rooted.

She couldn’t figure it out. How could a commoner like Bai Sheng marry into a wealthy family? This was the dream of so many women.

Besides…

Bai Sheng seemed like a very dull person who did not know how to please others. In the office, no one was willing to hang out with her. It was not because she had a difficult personality, but because, firstly, she had strict upbringing and would head home right after work. Basically, she rarely participated in gatherings with her colleagues. Secondly, she was poor. Because she was poor, she did not dare to accept goodwill from her colleagues. She would even reject the occasional treat or small gifts from them. Her resources were limited and she was unable to reciprocate. It was also because of this that in the eyes of others, Bai Sheng was seen as rather aloof!

So what kind of tricks did such a girl use?

But …

There’s this certain term…

“Circle.”

Since Bai Sheng was married to a wealthy man, then she must be moving in an elite circle? If she could get closer to Bai Sheng, wouldn’t it mean she’d have a chance to interact with the circle of wealthy people too? Perhaps, she would even be lucky enough to find a suitable man!

The head of the design department was already 27 years old. She had been in this company for more than four years and was a conscientious worker. Her dream was to be able to live and work in peace in the capital.

Her hometown was not a rich one. It was a well-known impoverished village. After coming to the city, she was deeply attracted by the prosperity and neon lights here. She was determined to stay on in such a city!

Only, she had been busy with work for the past few years. The male colleagues in the company looked down on her and felt that her family background was only ordinary. She did not know many people of higher social status. Occasionally, she would have the chance to go on blind dates. However, given her background, she did not seem to be able to find anyone who was too satisfactory.
But since Bai Sheng had married a wealthy man, she suddenly felt more confident since she thought that she was much more qualified than Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng had just finished her afternoon tea when she received another WeChat message from the department head. However, the tone of this message seemed improved.

“Sigh… Bai Sheng! It’s all my fault. You’re unwell and as your superior, I should be more understanding. Similarly, you should be more understanding towards me. I am also very tired from managing so many employees. You’ve not come to work for a few days and the partners have been hurrying us. I’ve been asking when you’d come to work but you did not reply to me. Today, I saw your posts on your WeChat Moments. I got angry because I thought you didn’t seem unwell and were out having fun.”
