Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 100

After the conference, Xu Meili, who had gained a lot, returned to the company with her usual composed expression and went straight to Zheng Gang.

“Zheng Gang, you really missed out by not attending today’s conference!”

Zheng Gang, who was typing up client information on his computer, paused slightly but remained calm, seemingly unfazed by Xu Meili’s excitement. “It’s just another conference, the same old routine. What’s there to regret?”

Xu Meili, taking note of Zheng Gang’s small reaction, smirked. “Do you know who I saw at the conference?”

“Tell me, it will surely surprise you!”

Zheng Gang pressed his lips together, suppressing the urge to ask. Knowing Xu Meili’s nature well, he wasn’t about to fall into her trap.

However, Xu Meili soon dropped a bombshell that left him shocked.

“What did you say?!” Zheng Gang abruptly turned around, causing his chair to creak under the strain. “Lin Mengting? You saw Lin Mengting?!”

As expected!

Xu Meili’s eyes narrowed, her long lashes hiding a glimmer of understanding.

Ever since Zheng Gang and she joined Wanda Company around the same time, she had noticed something odd about him. Despite being a newcomer, he quickly and expertly brought in many clients, which was unusual.

Now, hearing the name “Lin Mengting” confirmed her suspicions—Zheng Gang, like her, had been given a second chance by fate.

Clearly, Zheng Gang also realized his slip-up, forcing a sheepish smile. “Maybe you won’t believe it, but I’ve had dreams about a girl named Lin Mengting.”

“Is that so?” Xu Meili replied meaningfully. “Dreams or reality, it’s all in your mind.”

Zheng Gang touched his nose, opting to remain silent, knowing less said meant fewer mistakes.

Not satisfied, Xu Meili threw another bombshell. “Lin Mengting is working at Hongxing Company.”

Hongxing Company?

How could it be the company that would become China’s leading logistics company in a few years? Even if Lin Mengting left her previous job for the logistics industry, she shouldn’t have landed at such a promising company so quickly.

What’s going on? Could it really be the “butterfly effect”?

In that moment, both Zheng Gang and Xu Meili’s thoughts aligned strangely.

“I exchanged business cards with Lin Mengting.” Xu Meili waved the card in front of Zheng Gang and then placed it on the table. “You should call her and set up a meeting. That way, you can see if she’s your ‘dream girl.'”

Leaving this “bone” for him, Xu Meili gracefully exited.

Zheng Gang, left behind, looked conflicted but finally made a firm decision as Xu Meili’s figure faded from view. “Ah Li.”

Both of them trembled at the long-forgotten address.

For Zheng Gang, it was shocking to realize Xu Meili had also been given another chance by fate. For Xu Meili, it was painful to see Zheng Gang’s relentless pursuit of Lin Mengting, even in this new life.

What was so special about Lin Mengting? Why did such excellent men go to such lengths for her?

“I didn’t expect you to be so devoted, even in this new life.”

The faint mockery in her words made Zheng Gang flinch, followed by a deep bitterness.

“Love is often found when it’s already deep.”

“Such poetic words don’t suit an old hand like you,” Xu Meili said flatly. Knowing Zheng Gang’s reborn status and his enduring obsession with Lin Mengting, she decided to bury her resentment.

In her previous life, she had wasted her best years waiting for Zheng Gang, but now, she wouldn’t sacrifice herself again.

Besides, although she didn’t know exactly when Zheng Gang was reborn, they both had a clear understanding of the opportunities in the coming decade.

Instead of fighting each other and letting others benefit, it was better to join forces.

Trying to convince herself, Xu Meili still felt unsettled. After several deep breaths, she regained her composure and asked, “So, what’s your plan now?”

“I need your help,” Zheng Gang hesitated. “Aren’t you curious why Lin Mengting didn’t join Wanda Company and ended up at Hongxing Company, starting as a salesperson?”

“If you wait too long, you’ll miss your chance,” Xu Meili said, irritated. “Yesterday, I talked with their Manager Ding at the conference.”

She didn’t share the details with Zheng Gang, but to prevent him from prying, she dropped another bomb. “Did you know Lin Mengting’s uncle is the Deputy Minister of Finance in S City, and her aunt is the Deputy Director of the Tax Bureau?”
