Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 101

“What? How come I didn’t know that?”

Zheng Gang was shocked and couldn’t hide his excitement. Because of this, he missed the faint envy and jealousy in Xu Meili’s tone.

It’s often said that marrying a good wife can save you thirty years of struggle. So, marrying Lin Mengting could make his life much more successful this time around!

Even as a reborn person, Zheng Gang was taken aback by this news. His usually guarded emotions slipped, something Xu Meili, who was observing him closely, didn’t miss.

Sure enough, even Zheng Gang couldn’t avoid feeling envy and jealousy!

Everyone, regardless of gender, is naturally driven by self-interest!

With this in mind, Xu Meili gave Zheng Gang a meaningful look and said, “Back then, when Lin Mengting married the son of a high-ranking official, everyone thought she was a sparrow turning into a phoenix. But now, it turns out they were well-matched.”

Her words were a warning to Zheng Gang. Instead of wasting all his time and energy pursuing Lin Mengting and ending up with nothing, he should focus on his career, using his reborn knowledge to achieve enviable success.

Even though she knew that two lives’ worth of obsession weren’t easily resolved, this was her final reminder to the man she once loved.

…

“Hello, this is Mr. Zheng from Wanda Company. I heard your company specializes in European and Mediterranean routes. I have a client interested in these areas. Could you give me a quote?”

“Mr. Zheng?” Lin Mengting raised an eyebrow, recalling Zheng Gang’s complicated expression from her previous life when they met at Wanda Company.

“Hello, I’m sorry, but our company doesn’t plan to offer services to competitors at this time.”

“Miss Lin, I can’t agree with that,” Zheng Gang said, a confident smile on his face.

[No matter the company, Lin Mengting’s personality remains rigid and stubborn. So, why should I worry? The butterfly effect is unpredictable, but as long as the basic facts remain, any additional changes might be extra rewards from heaven for a reborn person like me!]

“I think you’ve misunderstood your company’s policies,” Zheng Gang continued. “Whether it’s competitors or direct clients, they’re all your customers and should be given fair prices. Ultimately, the market is limited, and everyone thinks their share is too small. In such a situation, you should expand your company’s business, not reject potential major clients. If your company isn’t interested in expanding to competitors, why participate in a logistics conference?”

…

Lin Mengting was speechless.

So, Zheng Gang is also a reborn person! It seems that my past life’s struggles were partly due to these reborn people stirring things up!

“Mr. Zheng, your words remind me of Miss Xu, whom I met at the conference.” Lin Mengting deflected, causing a momentary hesitation on Zheng Gang’s end.

“Before your call, Miss Xu had already contacted me about this. Although I understand the market issue, I’m just a small sales rep and can’t override company policies for such changes.”

Otherwise, I’d end up like a tall tree that catches all the wind and gets blown over.

[Is she rejecting me? Even though Lin Mengting didn’t join Wanda Company and become a colleague, Xu Meili still managed to befriend her. Do I have to bow to Xu Meili now? Actually, working with Xu Meili could be mutually beneficial. Better to formalize our cooperation than risk future conflict without evidence!]

…

Hearing Zheng Gang’s inner thoughts, Lin Mengting smiled silently. “Sorry, Mr. Zheng, I have another call coming in.”

“Alright, goodbye,” Zheng Gang replied instinctively, then realized the call had ended and scowled.

How dare Lin Mengting treat me like this!

…

After hanging up, Lin Mengting sipped her tea, hiding her thoughts in the rising steam.

So, Xu Meili and Zheng Gang have already revealed their reborn statuses to each other!

No wonder, in her past life, despite all the attempts to drive them apart, they maintained a close, ambiguous relationship.

She wondered when they had been reborn and if they had joined Wanda Company together as in the previous timeline. What prompted their alliance?

Should she try to probe further?

Quickly, Lin Mengting dismissed the idea.

After being harassed by Qin Mei and Qin Dong for six months, she felt mentally exhausted. She realized that wasting time on these reborn individuals was pointless.

Even though their goal was to undermine her, doing so in a meritocratic city like S City wasn’t easy.

Especially since their means were limited by their backgrounds. Besides, she had the mind-reading ability specifically against reborn people! Why bother with them?

For now, her priority was to advance herself. As long as she reached a high enough position, these reborn people would have to think twice before making a move against her, fearing her retaliation.
