4736 Never Too Late to Love (143)
In the afternoon, Bai Sheng finally recovered and could just barely make it out of bed.

She was a little hungry, but it was not mealtime.

However, this hotel was a super five-star Holiday Inn in Hong Kong. The luxurious Western restaurant in the hotel had a huge French window. Sitting by the French window, not only could one take in the beautiful scenery of the sea and the greenery, one could also enjoy an authentic English afternoon tea.

Bai Sheng had no special liking for English cuisine, however, the English afternoon tea was rather delicious. She looked at the dessert tower in front of her and the fragrant black tea, and felt her entire body relax a little.

The dessert tower was beautifully displayed. Bai Sheng could not help taking a few pictures and sharing them on her WeChat Moments.

However, not long after, several notifications came in on her WeChat.

She took a look at her phone and saw that it was actually the director of the company’s career department. Only then did she realize she had forgotten to block her work colleagues when she posted the photographs.

“Hmph! You said you’re unwell and took sick leave, but in reality you’re enjoying life!”

“Why can’t I get through your cell phone line? Are you not picking up on purpose?”

“Bai Sheng! I’m warning you, return immediately or else you will be penalized for absence without leave!”

Just a few messages, and her beautiful afternoon mood was completely crushed. Immediately, Bai Sheng looked crestfallen.

When Gu Chengze noticed this, he couldn’t help asking, “What is it?”

“I just… took a few beautiful photos and posted them on my WeChat Moments. Ended up that my team leader at work saw them.”

“Oh?” Gu Chengze was a little surprised. “Haven’t you resigned?”

“But I haven’t gone through the formal resignation process.”

When Gu Chengze heard this, he suddenly probed, “Do you still want the job?”

Bai Sheng raised her head and looked at him. Pursing her lips, she voiced her heartfelt sentiments, “Actually, I don’t want to do this job anymore. Initially, I joined this company because I felt that I’d surely be able to gain good experience here. I studied design, and in the future, I hope to have my own design studio. However, ever since I joined this company, it had only ever required the same designs. Moreover, because I am working on the domestic wedding dress market, I draw wedding dresses every day. I’m almost sick of it. This is not my dream…”

Gu Chengze nodded. “Then why didn’t you resign back then?”
“Because… if I were to change jobs and don’t have a source of income, my aunt will accuse me of being dependent on the elderly.”

Bai Sheng was a strong-willed person. Her self-esteem was very strong, and she could not stand such humiliation.

Dependent on the elderly?

She had gone along with her aunt’s wishes and joined this company. She was tired of designing the same thing every day.

“If you’re unhappy with your work, then look for another job!”

“Getting a new job can be really troublesome.”

“There’s no hurry. If you want a good job, you can’t rush things. Besides, I’m supporting you. What are you afraid of?”

Bai Sheng was extremely moved by Gu Chengze’s calming words! He had said so matter-of-factly that he wanted to support her. For a moment, she was so happy that she could feel herself floating.
