Wah, this story hor, confirm many people see before. This chio bu, real pretty one — hair like shampoo ad, face like influencer, body like can model for IG boutique. Every office she go interview, sure kena hired one. HR see her resume only scan-scan, but see her face, straightaway say “we’ll get back to you,” then next day already send offer letter liao.
She thought wah, life steady lah — got degree, got looks, job easy to find. But after working for a while, then she start to realise… eh, people not really respect her one leh.
Pretty Only, But Brain Got Use Also What
Every time got meeting, she also got idea. But before she even finish talk, some uncle manager already cut her off and say, “Okay okay, let’s move on.” Later that exact same idea, another male colleague say again — then boss suddenly say, “Eh, good suggestion leh!”
She boh tahan. She not blur, she know they all treat her like decoration only. Office events? Always ask her to be emcee lah, or stand at reception to greet guests. Got camera? Must pull her in to pose. Like she is just some walking corporate poster girl, not someone who can actually think and contribute.
Some colleagues even whisper behind her back — “aiyah, she confirm sleep her way up,” or “sure got sugar daddy sponsor one lah.” Every promotion she get, people say is because of looks, not effort.
Want Work, Not Win Beauty Pageant Lah
But the worst part is, when she complain or raise issue, people laugh and say, “Don’t angry leh, later wrinkle then not so pretty already.” Wah, that one really make her blood boil. She go work, not to win beauty contest okay. She also slog until late night, do report, fix client mess, cover other people’s backside — still not enough ah?
End up she everyday go work like wear invisible badge — “pretty but not taken seriously.” Even when she do more, people think she doing extra just to stay relevant. Got brain also no use, when everybody only see your face.
Moral of the Story? Chio Also Human Lah
This kind of story, not just one girl kena. A lot of girls go through the same nonsense. Society too fast to judge by face, too slow to see value inside. Some people just cannot accept that a girl can be pretty and smart. Must be either one. If chio, then must be bimbo. If clever, then cannot be too dolled up.
Next time see someone good-looking in your team, don’t just assume she is there to look nice. She also got bills to pay, goals to reach, and stress to tahan. Chio also got brain one okay?
Let people shine for their work, not just their face.
