Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 155

Lin Mengting “…”

How many people did she offend in her previous lives?

Why else would she keep encountering such persistent “clingy people”?

One by one, they got lucky with heaven’s favor but didn’t cherish the rare opportunity to achieve something great. Instead, they schemed against people in petty ways!

Truly narrow-minded and disgraceful!

“Mr. Zheng, please address me as ‘Miss Lin,'” Lin Mengting said calmly, her voice void of any emotion, as if she were speaking to a stranger. “I’m rather rigid and don’t like making inexplicable jokes with unfamiliar people.”

This statement easily silenced any rebuttal Zheng Gang had.

“Tingting…”

The next moment, the familiar “beep beep beep” sound came through the receiver.

“Damn it!”

Zheng Gang’s face turned red, then black as ink, and he roared in anger, finally unable to hold back and threw the phone.

“Bang!”

The loud noise startled his busy colleagues, who all looked up.

“What are you looking at?!” Zheng Gang shouted angrily, successfully forcing everyone to avert their gazes. Breathing heavily, he picked up his cup and gulped down half of the cold water, feeling the anger in his chest lessen a bit.

Lin Mengting, how dare she hang up on him!

…

Xu Meili hurried back to the office and, without resting, knocked on Zheng Gang’s door.

“I heard you lost your temper at the office today?”

“Who told you that?” Zheng Gang leaned lazily in his chair, holding a book without looking up.

He appeared relaxed and carefree, completely unlike someone with a volatile temper. Unfortunately, this was just a facade. As someone who had known Zheng Gang for nearly forty years, Xu Meili noticed his trembling fingers gripping the book.

Clearly, he was struggling to suppress his anger.

“Haven’t you noticed that your temper has been getting worse lately?”

Though Wanda Company provided employee housing, only some managers had private rooms. Xu Meili and Zheng Gang, after reincarnating and choosing Wanda Company as the starting point to build their fortunes, quickly made the stingy boss recognize their importance.

As a result, they each had a small room to themselves.

Although the rooms were tiny, given the high rent in S City and their need to save money, they had to adapt.

Without hesitation, Xu Meili walked over and yanked Zheng Gang up from his chair, taking his seat.

Zheng Gang “…”

Even if it was Xu Meili, he felt like hitting someone!

Xu Meili gave Zheng Gang a cold look, like a bucket of ice water thrown over him. The chill snapped his mind back to clarity.

After a long silence, Zheng Gang sighed bitterly, “You’re right.”

His temper had indeed been growing lately. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why.

“It’s the year 2000,” Xu Meili reminded him coldly.

Unfortunately, Zheng Gang didn’t notice the brief flash of ruthlessness in her eyes. Otherwise, he would have warned her as an ally.

Especially since Xu Meili’s reminder was a great favor.

“You’re right.” Zheng Gang nodded. They had only recently been reborn and had few resources. They couldn’t rush things or act as they had in the future when everything went smoothly.

Even though they had unmatched experience and knowledge, it didn’t mean they could quickly achieve great heights.

Despite using their foresight to establish close ties with many major clients, they couldn’t afford to be complacent.

Anything could happen. Until they secured the clients, who knew what might occur?

And even if they did secure them, who could say how long the clients would stay?

Everything was still uncertain.

“I was too presumptuous.” Zheng Gang sighed, covering his face as he recalled his call with Lin Mengting. He couldn’t believe he had acted so immaturely!

“We’ve been under a lot of pressure lately and need to relax,” Xu Meili half-jokingly complained.

“I’ve told you, you can’t rush things. But you insisted on frequent contact with major clients, hoping to secure them quickly. Do you know how much time and effort it took them to secure these clients?”

Everyone loves big clients. But the bigger the client, the more complicated the process, involving numerous higher-ups and tricky managers.

“I’m just worried that ‘delays could lead to changes,’” Zheng Gang rubbed his temples. He wanted to take things slower, but Lin Mengting’s changes made him wary.

Even though she didn’t seem to have heaven’s favor like them, who knew what changes might occur for her, being raised in a noble family?
