Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 108

Although the man was 13 years older than her and had a 10-year-old daughter, and his only assets were a village house, an ancestral home, and a large piece of land next to it…

Although the man only managed to divorce his wife because of the 50,000 yuan she “lent” him…

Although the man only had a middle school education and got a job as a driver for a factory owner through connections…

Although she technically interfered in someone else’s marriage and became a stepmother by being the “other woman,” so what! After all, this man was a local in S City. Right now, he might not look like much, but ten years later, the real estate market in S City would skyrocket. The land he owned would be worth billions.

At that time, she would become a rich woman that everyone envied!

…

Finally, Lin Mengting looked up at Xu Meili, her face showing obvious surprise and confusion. She couldn’t understand why Xu Meili, whom she had only met once, was being so open with her.

“You felt it too, right?” Xu Meili, thinking she had read Lin Mengting’s thoughts, smiled warmly at her. “The first time I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity, like we were the closest of sisters in a past life. I originally planned to become friends with you before sharing these things. But recently, every time I tried to call you, you were either on the phone, not at your desk, or out. We kept missing each other.”

Zheng Gang “…”

[Coincidence? Ha! The most unlikely thing in this world is a ‘coincidence’! Lin Mengting must have sensed something and deliberately avoided us!]

[This explains why the usually kind and considerate Lin Mengting would embarrass him without hesitation!]

[Who could have leaked this information to Lin Mengting? Could it be the benefactor who helped them also slipped up and alerted her?]

“It seems that if there are past lives, then in this life, we are meant to be just ordinary friends,” Lin Mengting said calmly. She finally understood why Xu Meili married that man in her previous life.

Back then, she naively thought Xu Meili married a local because she was older, had only a high school education, and couldn’t transfer her household registration to S City otherwise. Who would have guessed Xu Meili had planned everything from the start!

Xu Meili’s smile froze. No matter how eloquent she was, facing someone as stubborn as Lin Mengting, she had to admit defeat and silently gave Zheng Gang a pleading look.

“You women always think about marrying into a wealthy family!” Zheng Gang put down his teacup and adjusted his glasses, letting the sunlight reflect off them in a strange way.

“Do you really think life in a wealthy family is so great? Come on! Cinderella only married the prince because she was actually a noblewoman. Their marriage was a perfect match. If you ask me, it’s better to find a man with potential and work together. Even if your feelings fade after marriage, they can turn into familial bonds, and you won’t separate easily.”

“Hah!” Xu Meili covered her mouth and glanced at Zheng Gang. “I knew it, all you men think you’re potential winners and can’t wait to find the perfect girlfriend and live happily ever after!”

“Am I wrong?” Zheng Gang asked confidently. “Ask anyone, and they’ll agree with me.”

“Yes, yes! You’re absolutely right!” Xu Meili laughed lightly and then, as if fulfilling Zheng Gang’s wish, subtly promoted him to Lin Mengting, “But Zheng Gang is indeed a good person. I worked as an insurance salesperson for over ten years before switching to a logistics company. Although logistics is a new field for me, with my years of experience, I’ve already made decent progress. But Zheng Gang, who just moved here and joined this industry, has quickly made remarkable strides. He’s almost ten years younger than me, yet in just a few months, he’s caught up with my performance. I can’t help but think that sales is truly a man’s world!”

Thinking of something, Xu Meili sighed again, “People only see us salespeople earning high salaries and having flexible hours, but they don’t realize the pressure we face. We run around in all kinds of weather, visiting clients, having meals, drinking, chatting, doing everything to win their orders. And for female salespeople who are always out, safety is a major concern!”

[After pouring out her heart, surely Lin Mengting would see her as a ‘trusted sister’ now?]

[It’s strange. When I first met Lin Mengting in my previous life, she wasn’t an easily fooled ‘sweet naive girl,’ but she wasn’t as cold and distant as she is now. What went wrong? Would this affect the plan Zheng Gang and I set?]

“They say ‘a wise word from a friend is worth more than ten years of study.’ Listening to you today, Miss Xu, has truly enlightened me,” Lin Mengting said, dabbing her lips with a napkin. “However, I personally believe there’s nothing wrong with being a salesperson.”

As for the idea that “doing well is not as good as marrying well”?

Lin Mengting didn’t even consider it. Knowing Xu Meili and Zheng Gang’s nature, she suspected dwelling on this topic would only play into their schemes.
