You can't really blame her.

You can't fault her for being too diligent and responsible at work, spending so much time scrubbing a small spot, can you?

The white, tender skin on her knees started to turn red.

Probably because she's been kneeling for a bit too long.

"Have a drink, take a break." Sun Dasheng handed her a bottle of water.

Huang Feifei stood up, wiped the sweat off her forehead, took the bottle, and said thank you before gulping it down.

She drank it all in one go.

"President Sun, you're really nice, thank you for your understanding." Huang Feifei thanked him again.

"No need to be so formal, have a seat." Sun Dasheng waved his hand.

Huang Feifei hesitated as she looked at the expensive sofa, "I'm dirty, I shouldn't get your sofa dirty."

"I said, sit!"

The man's words carried a tone that brooked no refusal.

Huang Feifei carefully sat down.

The man went back to playing with his phone.

Only then did she dare to cautiously take in the luxurious home.

So big, so opulent, and to think of the house prices, so much money.

Her eyes gleamed with excitement.

These kinds of houses, she could only dream of before.

Even when she married a local man from Shanghai City, offending old classmates and roommates to climb the social ladder.

Compared to this man, really, forget it, there's no comparison.

She, who came from the countryside, always wanted to stay in a big city.

Back then, she thought a local man in Shanghai with a house was the best choice.

Who would have thought, things turned out completely different.

The local man did have a house, but it was a small, old one in a remote location.

The entire family squeezed into a few dozen square meters, making life very inconvenient.

Even at night, their private life as a couple had to be carefully restrained, fearing the in-laws next door might hear, which would be awkward.

When they said the family assets amounted to millions, it sounded impressive, like middle class.

In reality, besides the house which they hoped would be demolished for compensation, there was nothing worthwhile.

The entire family was ordinary working class, completely different from the high-earning new Shanghainese.

Actual living standards were just slightly better than her rural hometown.

Better only in terms of city healthcare and education.

Later, her husband got obsessed with stock trading, losing their savings, and even borrowing high-interest loans, drowning in debt.

Divorce naturally became the best choice.

Because she had a daughter, her husband didn't fight for custody.

She left with nothing, still being harassed by debt collectors from finance companies, unbearably annoying, until she learned from a college classmate.

Her old roommate, Zhong Liying, had become successful as a general manager of a big company, a typical urban career woman, part of the elite.

So, in desperation, she braced herself to seek her out for help.

The person she once offended, an enemy?

Fortunately, her other roommate Pan Yanyan was there, allowing her to meet and successfully stay.

Although it was just a cleaning job, she was temporarily satisfied.

Because her most urgent need then was to get rid of the debt collectors.

As expected, once they learned she had backing, the debt collectors disappeared overnight, leaving her world peaceful again.

Once safety returned,

a yearning for change, a desire to climb upward emerged within her.

That's why there was that moment in the neighborhood basement trunk.

Recalling that night, her bold actions made her blush again.

That night, Huang Feifei, who had moved overnight, hid under her quilt on her new bed, her body burning hot all night.

Fear?

Shame?

Or something else.

No one knew what she was really thinking that night.

"President Sun, I've rested enough."

"Okay, then continue. Take a break if you're tired, no need to work yourself to the bone.

I pay you by the hour, so sneak in a rest and earn a bit more."

These words were said in a teasing tone.

Because, today she left a much better impression on him than that night.

Of course, dislike was gone, but affection was still out of the question.

After all, she's Liying's 'enemy', he didn't want to get involved in their issues.

He preferred leaving women's matters for them to handle themselves.

He didn't want to meddle in such troublesome issues.

Four hours later, after cleaning, apart from the cleaning fee, Sun Dasheng also gave her a five-hundred-yuan tip.

"Thank you, President Sun."

"No need to thank me, you did a great job cleaning. I'm very satisfied.

This tip is the result of your labor, you deserve it."

"Okay, if you need cleaning services in the future, you can call me directly."

"What, want to skip the middleman taking a cut?" Sun Dasheng said with a smile.

Huang Feifei lowered her head.

"Alright, next time I need it, I'll call you directly. Let's save each other's number."

"President Sun, I'll be leaving now, bye!"

"Alright."

Door closes.

Turns around.

Doorbell rings again.

Door opens.

A rosy face appears.

"What? Did you forget something?" Sun Dasheng asked the returning woman.

The woman stepped in, quietly closed the door behind her.

Looked up at him and said, "I seem to have left my heart behind, where can I find it?"

Wow.

Now you're playing like a romantic drama?

"I'm serious. That night, I admit my intentions weren't pure when I tried to seduce you, I just wanted to climb up to someone like you, thinking of wealth and luxury," Huang Feifei honestly confessed about that night.

Sun Dasheng looked at her thoughtfully, "And this time?"

"This time, I find that I've truly fallen for you."

"Not for any other reason, simply because I like you, your handsomeness, your kindness, your tenderness. I've found myself hopelessly in love with you."

Saying this, she wrapped her arms around him.

Wow, she's truly the first woman to confess to him like this.

The words she said, even he felt a bit embarrassed.

Besides the first sentence, what do the others have to do with me?

"Calm down, these are all illusions, not necessarily true."

Sun Dasheng patted her back.

Damn, have I encountered a love-struck fool?
