Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 109

“Being a salesperson is definitely a job that trains you well.”

Xu Meili was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered and smiled warmly, “Xiao Lin, our company’s sales department organizes hiking and outings every weekend. I’ve wanted to invite you for a long time, but I could never reach you.”

“Tomorrow is Saturday, and we’re planning to go hiking. Do you want to join us?”

[They say activities like hiking and outings are another form of ‘matchmaking.’ She couldn’t believe that after creating so many opportunities for Zheng Gang, he still wouldn’t be able to win over Lin Mengting!]

[At the very least, he could play the ‘hero saving the beauty’ card!]

“Sorry, I have classes on the weekend.” Lin Mengting picked up her teacup, took a sip, and her long eyelashes briefly covered a hint of sarcasm and mockery in her eyes. “I hope you all have a good time!”

…So in her past life, how foolish must she have been to escape from the clutches of Qin Mei and Qin Dong, only to fall into the trap set by Xu Meili and Zheng Gang?!

Thankfully, due to her keen sixth sense, she never fully fell for Xu Meili and Zheng Gang’s schemes. But the experiences she went through during that time were both heartbreaking and full of lessons.

Regardless, those days of “hiking together, going on picnics, shopping, eating, and singing karaoke” were some of the best and most carefree days of her youth, but they were gone forever!

“Classes?”

Not knowing that Lin Mengting had already seen through their schemes, Xu Meili was surprised and widened her eyes. Her confusion and helplessness flashed quickly, but Lin Mengting caught it clearly with her sharp observation.

“Where are you taking classes? Continuing Education College?” Zheng Gang quickly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly explained with an awkward smile, “I heard from Manager Ding before.”

“Oh, you know our Manager Ding!” Lin Mengting said casually, as if she accepted Zheng Gang’s explanation.

Zheng Gang breathed a sigh of relief and explained, “We ran into each other on the train when I went home for the holidays. We chatted and found out we both work in the logistics industry and are from the same hometown. We’ve stayed in touch since then.”

“Xiao Lin, you have to work and take classes. Don’t you find it exhausting?”

Xu Meili asked with a concerned expression, “Actually, I think you should either focus on your work and aim for a promotion and raise. Once you become a key manager in your company, you can delegate tasks to your subordinates and focus on management, avoiding the current hard days of facing clients. Or, you should focus on dating, trying to find a rich or potential husband. Then, quickly have children and while raising them, take some art classes like ‘flower arranging’ or ‘painting’ to improve yourself and live a happy, enviable life.”

“I really enjoy my current life and don’t plan to change it,” Lin Mengting politely rejected Xu Meili’s suggestion and said calmly, “I have a low education level, and my family is not well-off, so I have to work and study at the same time.”

“This society doesn’t value degrees!” Xu Meili scoffed dismissively, “Let me tell you, our company has a master’s degree returnee, but he only knows how to flaunt his English. He doesn’t even know how to communicate with foreign clients! The boss gave him six months. I say he won’t even last three months!”

Having studied in Singapore for five years, his English was good, but in the logistics industry, he needed to understand everything related to logistics and transportation. Expecting to earn a high salary just by speaking English was a pipe dream!

Although Xu Meili didn’t mention his name, Lin Mengting, who had worked with Xu Meili and Zheng Gang in her past life, knew who she was talking about. She sighed softly, though her face remained unchanged. “Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe he just isn’t suited for this job.”

“Maybe,” Xu Meili replied casually, not wanting to continue the topic. She asked again, “Do you have any plans for National Day?”

Before Lin Mengting could answer, Xu Meili continued, “Our department is planning a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Do you want to join us?”

“No, I already have plans for National Day.” Xu Meili’s travel plans, different from her previous life, stunned Lin Mengting for a moment.

In her past life, before she was reborn, Xu Meili and Zheng Gang had never gone on an “overseas trip”!

It seemed the so-called “butterfly effect” was indeed powerful!

Thinking this, Lin Mengting smiled, “Have a great trip.”

Xu Meili noticed Lin Mengting’s change in expression but simply thought she envied their overseas trip. She smiled and said, “We’ll bring you a souvenir when we return.”

“Going abroad is not easy, and you probably have many things to buy for your relatives and friends. No need to worry about bringing something for someone you’re not familiar with.” Lin Mengting declined again, emphasizing their “stranger” relationship.

“Xiao Lin, how can you say that?!” Xu Meili looked hurt. “I thought after our conversation, even if we’re not like sisters, we should be good friends. How can you see me as a stranger?”

Zheng Gang adjusted his glasses and chimed in, “Xiao Lin, I can assure you that Sister Xu treats you differently. Maybe you find Sister Xu’s enthusiasm a bit overwhelming and hard to accept. But after you meet more people in our company, you’ll see that Sister Xu is genuinely kind-hearted and treats everyone well. Especially those she likes, she would give them everything she has.”

His words were almost accusing Lin Mengting of “judging others by their own standards”!
