Chapter 4741 Never Too Late to Love (148)
Bai Sheng was stunned as she listened.
She found it hard to believe that the normally bad-tempered department head was now so gently dispensing advice to her. Was that really the same person?
Bai Sheng was never very good at rejecting others. Perhaps, there were too few people who had been good to her since she was young. Therefore, it was fine to be harsh to her, but she really could not bring herself to reject someone who was being gentle to her!
She had really wanted to resign. However, the department head's gentle approach put her at a loss.
"How about this…" The department head probed, "I heard from a few of your colleagues that you got married not long ago?"
"Uh huh…"
"In that case, you're probably on a honeymoon during this period of time, right?"
"That's… that's right!"
Bai Sheng looked towards Gu Chengze. The latter looked back at her and smiled. She then smiled too and replied, "We're on a wedding vacation."
"No wonder…" The department head's tone was even more apologetic as she said shamefully, "I'm sorry, Bai Sheng, I seem to have wronged you! No matter what, you should have fun during this period of time. When you're back in the office, we can discuss the specifics in detail!"
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Sheng looked at Gu Chengze with a blank expression.
The man asked half-jokingly, "What's wrong? Are you wavering? Don't tell me you're planning to continue working at the company?"
"I heard that the breach of contract penalty is a huge amount of money.
Gu Chengze smirked. "Did I not say that I'll pay for you."
"But…" Bai Sheng pouted and muttered, "I did not do anything wrong, why should I pay them a breach of contract penalty?"
"There's a price for breaching the contract, but you can't restrict someone's life with a price tag. This isn't an equivalent exchange."
After hearing Gu Chengze's words, Bai Sheng suddenly felt enlightened.
That's right. She couldn't possibly exchange her life and future for a mere penalty fee.
"What's more, if you don't want to pay the penalty, hire a lawyer to take a closer look at the contract. If the penalty involves an unreasonable clause, you can reject the company's request."
"What's the lawyer's fee?" Bai Sheng's little brain started to calculate carefully.
Gu Chengze was greatly amused. "My company has a ready legal team. There's no need to pay extra!"
"Wow…" Bai Sheng nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, let's do that then!"
"Little money-grubber!" The man gently tapped her on her nose.
How could this little idiot be so adorable. And to think she was trying to save money for him?
"Since we're already married, feel free to squander the money I earn. There's no need to be so frugal."
"Money can run out!"
"However, there's always money to be made. You can only earn money if you spend it, right?" Gu Chengze's brainwashing was starting to take root quite easily.
When she was in university, Bai Sheng had the nickname "Miser".
In Chinese, it's known as a rooster that refuses to shed a single feather, feather being a homonym for money.
It wasn't that she was stingy, but she hardly had enough to live by. She usually didn't even have enough to eat and wear. Therefore, she couldn't care less about socializing with friends. She would feel a deep sense of guilt every time she spent money. Even Gu Chengze's generosity did nothing to suppress the guilt in her heart.
