Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 148

“Congratulations.”

The clear voice of Qing Lingling came through the fine telephone line, reaching Xu Meili’s ears clearly.

Xu Meili, who had been feeling very proud of herself, suddenly felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her. The cold sensation, mixed with an unknown chill, invaded her body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably. The words of self-praise that she had been about to say got stuck in her throat, unable to come out smoothly.

But if Xu Meili admitted defeat just like that, she wouldn’t be the same Xu Meili who even Lin Mengting from her past life avoided.

“Tingting, do you know the name of that company?”

Before Lin Mengting could reply, Xu Meili, adopting a mysterious and gossipy tone, continued, “You don’t know, do you? Their boss is a true ‘dragon among men’, someone we mere mortals can only admire and look up to! I heard that when he was in his first year of high school, he started this company. By the time he graduated from college, this company had grown from a small team of a few people into a large publicly listed company in the Fortune 500! It took only about ten years in total! Tsk tsk tsk…”

Xu Meili sighed. “The difference between people can be so vast! When I was his age, I was still worrying about how to get more pocket money from my parents. But he had already taken all his pocket money to start a small company and, in just three years, turned it into the leading enterprise in G Province. By the time he graduated from college, this company was already listed in China and was growing so fast that even seasoned business veterans were shocked. It became one of the top companies in the Fortune 500! Everyone says that at this rate, by the time he is thirty, his company will surpass many long-established companies and become a leader among the Fortune 500 companies!”

After another round of admiration, Xu Meili suddenly changed the topic, “Tingting, after saying so much, you must have guessed which company this is, right?”

“Mm,” Lin Mengting responded casually, maintaining a composed and indifferent demeanor. She said lightly, “You are all very capable. It’s inevitable that you could secure such a major client.”

Xu Meili “…”

【No envy, jealousy, or hatred at all?】

【Is Lin Mengting really so calm and indifferent?】

【Even though this major client, which they had ‘stolen’, was actually painstakingly secured by Lin Mengting in her previous life after nearly two years of effort? And in this life, the reason they could win over this client in just a few months was due to the ‘successful experiences’ from Lin Mengting’s past life?!】

【Previously, Zheng Gang had even suspected that Lin Mengting, like them, had some kind of ‘fortunate encounter’. But now it seems that although Lin Mengting is no longer the ‘naive and simple’ girl from memory, she is still just as aloof and proud! She doesn’t know how to seize such a good ‘opportunity’. Is she foolish or just plain foolish?!】

【However, according to the development trajectory of her past life, at this time, Lin Mengting was still working at that so-called ‘base’, living a life where her expenses exceeded her income, depleting her resources. Even though she took care of herself meticulously for several years afterwards, she couldn’t recover!】

【It wasn’t until February next year that Lin Mengting got a job at Wanda Company. Then, through a chance encounter, she developed an ‘ambiguous’ relationship with the head of this company, which helped her secure this major client!】

【Although, now it seems that this so-called ‘ambiguous’ relationship is really open to discussion, what does that have to do with them?!】

【In this life, although Lin Mengting inexplicably left that ‘base’ and joined Wanda Company, which would become the leading enterprise in the industry in ten years, becoming one of the ‘reserve talents’ highly regarded by the senior management, she has also attracted a lot of hatred, with many people wanting to bring her down, both openly and secretly!】

【Moreover, besides working, Lin Mengting has to attend classes at the continuing education college and the youth center, and also has to deal with many ‘suitors’, making her very busy. Even if she wants to secure more major clients, she is just ‘powerless’ to do so. It’s actually convenient for them!】

【Such a great opportunity, if not seized, would be foolish, stupid, and hopelessly so!】

…

“Tingting, do you know? The boss of this company is not only very capable but also very handsome and considerate, a true ‘diamond bachelor’ and a very attractive ‘warm man’. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely pursue him! What a pity! What a pity!!”

Xu Meili sighed, shaking her head. Then she suddenly said, “Tingting, I think this person is quite good. You should try to pursue him.”

After saying that, as if she thought her idea was very good, Xu Meili enthusiastically played matchmaker, talking non-stop, “Although he is a bit older than you, men should be at least seven years older than women to know how to take care of their women…”

【With her experience and knowledge, she could see that this young man, who gave a ‘gentle and elegant’ and ‘charming’ impression, and was humorously called a ‘scholar merchant’ by others, did not like those ‘strong women’ who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but rather those ‘delicate girls’ who relied on him and trusted him wholeheartedly!】

【If Lin Mengting were still the truly ‘naive and simple’ girl from her past life, she could win the ‘scholar merchant’s’ favor and goodwill, but now…】

As if she thought of something happy, Xu Meili’s voice raised a few notches, “Tingting, ‘there’s no time like the present’. How about this? Tomorrow I have to act as a ‘tour guide’ for this handsome guy. I’ll bring him to your company, and you can arrange a ‘chance meeting’ with him…”

【With this ‘scholar merchant’s’ status, it’s likely that he is often ‘ambushed’ by people like this. How to deal with those women who put on an ‘innocent and cute’ facade but secretly harbor malicious intentions and whose eyes and expressions are filled with greed and ambition, he must have his own unique methods!】

【By then, without any need for further scheming, Lin Mengting would ‘mess herself up’!】
