Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 1

“Are you really decided?”

Manager Wen put down the resignation letter in his hand and focused his gaze on the young girl sitting across from him. Despite her dark skin, she still exuded an energetic and vibrant feeling. There was a rare look of regret and sigh in his eyes as he tried once more to persuade her, “Among the batch of employees who joined at the same time, you are the one I have the highest hopes for. During the recent meeting, the chairman mentioned promoting a few new employees who have performed well, have strong abilities, and great potential, to be reserve cadres. I have already submitted your name. Soon, you will be notified.”

Reserve cadre?

Considering the new century’s demands, leading students from various schools on outdoor excursions to experience the joy of “learning through play” had great development potential as a quality education base.

Unfortunately, a year later, this thriving quality education base would be forced to close because the boss would abscond with the funds.

Lin Mengting felt deeply regretful but did not interrupt Manager Wen. Ultimately, when the company closed down, it was the ordinary employees who truly suffered. High-level personnel like Manager Wen knew the inside story in advance and could easily retrieve their hard-earned rewards.

She could not forget the scene from her previous life, where she left this base miserably without receiving half a year’s salary.

Once was enough for such an event. Should she be the foolish girl who knowingly walked into a dangerous situation again?

At this thought, Lin Mengting couldn’t help but feel grateful that the kind of “rebirth” only found in novels had happened to her. The only pity was that the timing of her rebirth was not ideal.

If she had been reborn a month earlier, she could have caught the “Graduation Assignment Exam” temporarily proposed by Huaguo this year.

Who would have thought that her cohort could still catch the last train of Huaguo’s assignment policy six months after graduation?

In her previous life, because she had left home after graduation, she missed the notification. When she reconnected with her classmates a year later and learned about this, she was filled with regret and remorse.

Having worked and drifted outside for many years, Lin Mengting was a pessimist. She always worried about how she would continue living after her forties, when her energy would no longer match that of young people, she wouldn’t be at retirement age, and her career wouldn’t have much achievement.

Thus, the missed opportunity for an assigned job became a lingering knot in her heart that she couldn’t untangle.

After all, this was a doctor many people would not want to offend. And because Lin Mengting had studied a field that would remain popular for decades, she would be assigned to work in a top-tier hospital in a major city.

If she had been reborn a month earlier, even if she had to sleep only three to four hours a day, she would have crammed the necessary knowledge within a month. In this way, she wouldn’t have to worry about getting a secure and good job.

However, Lin Mengting quickly discarded this “demanding too much” mentality. After all, among the countless people in the world, how many were as fortunate as she was to have a chance to correct their destiny?

Especially being reborn at such a beautiful age in her life.

Manager Wen paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat.

“Go back and think about it. Give me a definite answer in three days.”

“Manager Wen, thank you for the company’s cultivation…” A stream of flattering words flowed smoothly from Lin Mengting’s mouth, making Manager Wen smile and look at her with even more kindness.

As for why Lin Mengting, a typically introverted girl, suddenly became so lively today? This thought just passed through Manager Wen’s mind without further reflection or any doubt.

The reason was simple: the quality education base employed young people close in age. It was impossible not to be influenced by others after spending so much time together.

Moreover, the few people who were close to Lin Mengting were all extroverts!

Unaware of the thoughts fleeting through Manager Wen’s mind, Lin Mengting shifted the topic with a tone of regret and sigh, “I plan to take the adult college entrance exam. However, because I didn’t attend high school, I’m unfamiliar with the high school knowledge, so I plan to enroll in the pre-exam tutoring class at S University. S University is in the city, and classes are in the evening or on weekends. Therefore, I plan to resign and focus on preparing for the exam.”

“Is that so?” Manager Wen pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering. He felt that his proud talent-spotting skills were a bit off. Otherwise, how could he not have noticed earlier that Lin Mengting was such an ambitious girl?

“It’s often said, ‘Live and learn.’ Your idea is very commendable.” At this moment, Manager Wen felt a rare sense of admiration for talent. “In my opinion, the future society won’t need single-skilled talents. Instead, it will need people who know a bit of everything and possess an ‘indomitable’ fighting spirit, effort, and drive. Today, I approve your resignation. After you complete your studies, you are welcome to return.” With that, Manager Wen stood up and extended his right hand to Lin Mengting.

Lin Mengting shook his hand, smiling brightly. After bidding farewell to Manager Wen, she knocked on the door of the finance manager.

Until today, she hadn’t realized how much power Manager Wen held in this base!

Look, she could receive her full salary on the day of her resignation. This was truly unimaginable in other companies!

Thinking about this, she felt that her previous self had indeed been living in a “dream,” failing to notice such obvious things.

Shaking her head with a light sigh, she pushed open the door to the girls’ dormitory.

The three-bedroom apartment had one room for two employees, one room for two group leaders and a school doctor, and the last large room had three sets of bunk beds on each side, housing twelve “teachers” of the quality education base, including Lin Mengting.

Or perhaps “guides” would be more appropriate.

The same layout was on the upper floor: one room for the finance manager, one room for two group leaders, and the last room also had three sets of bunk beds for twelve male guides.

The top-floor two-bedroom apartment housed the chairman.

Such a living environment, comparable to factory dormitories, made the reborn Lin Mengting hesitate, feeling a mix of bitterness and sighs.

Who would have thought that a job with free accommodation but no meals and a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan could make her, who had been tricked by relatives into working as an ordinary factory worker, so excited and thrilled for a whole month?
