Everyone knows that those who can attend such donation ceremonies are influential people, and the attendees are all department heads. People like us, small fry, only a few have the chance to participate.
And, without a doubt, this is a great opportunity.
If you can become familiar to these leaders, it will make everything much more convenient in the future.
"Of course I’ll bring you along. You’re my best assistant at work." Raina couldn’t resist pinching Leila’s cheek, soft and bouncy, it felt particularly good.
Raina suddenly thought of Casper North, that little brat had become so attached to Elias Hawthorne as his surrogate son that he didn’t want his real mom anymore.
Casper North sneezed hard; surely Raina was thinking about him. Alas, he missed Raina too.
Raina arrived early. The ceremony hadn’t started yet, and she wasn’t in a hurry to go inside. She strolled around with Leila.
It’s important to familiarize yourself with a place where you’ll be staying for a while, not to mention it being convenient in case you need to make a quick exit someday.
This is probably the aftermath of being chased by Elias Hawthorne for over half a year.
Who knew that walking past the pantry, Raina overheard a few female employees gossiping.
"Did you hear? That North the Chump who got in by sleeping his way in, actually had the guts to sue Chief Warren. What’s more impressive is that Chief Warren even conceded.
"There’s no help for it; not only does he have a wealthy backer, but he’s also the young miss of The North Family."
"What’s this about a North family miss? She’s just an imposter occupying the nest. But even so, I’ve heard that Raina North is quite restless. Back in the day, she climbed into bed with an old man while her fiancé was in a coma from a car accident, and even gave birth to a pair of bastards. Such a shameless woman, how dare she step into The Veridian Institute of Medicine? Isn’t she afraid of sullying this pure place?"
"Speaking of which, I’m genuinely curious. Who approved Raina’s entry into The Veridian Institute of Medicine? Just what kind of place is this; how could a woman like her get in?"
"Don’t know. Maybe she slept with some big shot to get in."
"What kind of big shot would have such poor taste as to favor that shameless woman?"
"So what if he’s a big shot? Big shots are men too. As long as Raina serves well in bed, slipping her in here with a lift of a finger isn’t impossible."
"Haha, maybe you guessed right."
The shrill laughter echoed through the cramped space of the pantry.
Leila couldn’t stand it anymore and rushed out: "What nonsense are you all saying here?"
The women were startled.
Raina hadn’t expected that without paying attention, Leila would impulsively rush out.
This girl, so impulsive. Great, now it’s impossible to keep listening to the gossip.
After the initial scare, seeing that it was just a regular pharmacist, their fear immediately dissipated, and they arrogantly said, "How dare you eavesdrop on us? You sure have some nerve!"
"It’s you who have some nerve! How dare you tarnish Raina’s reputation ? Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Divine retribution? It’s probably your Raina who’s afraid of that. After all, we never climbed into bed with old men, nor were we sneaked in through connections."
Being able to enter The Veridian Institute of Medicine was a particularly face-saving achievement for the family. Not only does it bring glory to the family, but more importantly, the benefits are generous, and social status also increases significantly.
Especially when several senior sisters married into wealthy families leveraging their status as pharmacists from The Veridian Institute, their work becomes even more prestigious.
"You... you..." Leila was so angry her eyes turned red: "You’re spitting vicious words! Raina is really capable!"
