A sudden hush fell over the room.
The atmosphere turned awkward in an instant.
Qingqing had to force herself to take several deep breaths to restrain the urge to beat Bai Ling to death.
The gazes directed at Qingqing immediately turned strange.
It wasn't actually all that strange, when you thought about it.
The job market was dire; everyone had sacrificed so much for their jobs.
Without a job, you had no means to survive.
This was especially true for females. A male, at the very least, could rely on his physical strength if he lacked other skills.
A female's physical strength was naturally no match for a male's.
And yet, their coveted fertility could not be forcibly exploited by society.
Society coveted this ability, yet simultaneously looked down on those who possessed it.
This made it extremely difficult for females to survive in such an environment.
Just being able to work here was considered a great opportunity.
