Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 168

The so-called “cultural and artistic circle” might have a special status and privileges in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Qin Dong, it was all meaningless!

—Because Qin Dong, who was reborn, only wanted to be a successful “businessman”!

The saying “money makes the world go round” applies to any era.

Especially now, as the era of rapid economic growth approaches, China’s economy will soar!

In this context, no matter how high Lin Mengting’s status in the “art world,” it couldn’t help Qin Dong. After all, Qin Dong’s interest in Lin Mengting, even his decision to pursue and marry her, was because of her enviable “good luck” with benefactors!

Otherwise, in her previous life, even if Lin Mengting married into a wealthy family, it wouldn’t have been possible for her to quickly become the richest person in G Province!

…

At this moment, Qin Mei said casually, “If you hadn’t gone to the capital and stayed in S City, it would have been better. Even if Lin Mengting rejected you again, you could have stayed friends with her. Through her, you could have gotten close to that girl.”

Yes!

Even now, Qin Mei still looked down on Lin Mengting! She still believed Lin Mengting wasn’t good enough for Qin Dong!!

No matter if Zhang Qiang’s family was in business, politics, or the military, if Qin Dong could win Zhang Qiang’s love, the entire Qin family would rise to new heights!

“Sigh…” Qin Dong sighed deeply, his mixed feelings of sadness, frustration, and anger were clear over the phone. “Sister, it’s too late to say this now!”

Qin Mei smiled knowingly, “Qin Dong, as long as you understand, it’s never too late!”

Having been siblings for over twenty years, Qin Dong quickly understood what Qin Mei was hinting at. After a long pause, he said, “Sister, the capital is where I can truly make my mark.”

“I’m not asking you to leave the capital and return to S City to start over!” Qin Mei’s lips curled into a smile, and a trace of malice and calculation flickered in her eyes. “I don’t believe you haven’t kept in touch with Lin Mengting these past few months.”

As long as Qin Dong maintained a connection with Lin Mengting, and with Qin Mei occasionally giving a push, over time, they could erase Lin Mengting’s negative impression of Qin Dong.

By then, it would be much easier to seek Lin Mengting’s help!

In some ways, Qin Mei understood Qin Dong better than he did!

“This…” At this moment, Qin Dong hesitated. “Isn’t this a bit too risky?”

Scheming against someone like Lin Mengting was one thing.

But using such tactics on someone from a powerful family like Zhang Qiang’s was risky and could lead to disaster.

This wouldn’t change even with Qin Dong’s “rebirth.”

Even though Qin Dong had the advantage of knowing the future and had decades of life experience, he was still limited by his “vision.”

The higher the starting point, the greater the achievement.

This principle applies to any era.

Without truly interacting with these powerful families, how could one understand their “terrifying” aspects?

—In truth, everyone’s intelligence and emotional quotient are the same at birth. But while you receive guidance from ordinary parents and teachers, the children from powerful families receive elite education and meticulous guidance!

Perhaps what you learn in ten years might only match what they learn in one!

—So don’t think that the children of powerful families are naive and easy to fool!

“What’s wrong with that?” Qin Mei’s tone was like a witch trying to tempt “Snow White” to eat the poisoned apple. “Who wouldn’t want a shortcut that saves thirty years of hard work? Just treat her well in the future.”

Don’t do the typical “red flag at home, colorful flags outside” thing that many powerful families do. Care for her wholeheartedly, treat her like a treasure, and although you can’t give her the stars, make her feel cherished.

In this way, wouldn’t her family look favorably upon you and willingly share their resources with you?

—You don’t need to be treated like a family member, just a bit of favor from them could elevate Qin Dong and the entire Qin family to new heights!

“Sister, let me think about it.” Qin Dong smiled bitterly. How could he not be tempted?

But he had already offended Lin Mengting badly with his “if I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it” approach!

Sending her hateful emails every day and mailing her disgusting packages…

In this situation, expecting Lin Mengting to forgive and help him was unrealistic. It would be better to dream about achieving greatness!

“Think about it? What’s there to think about?” Qin Mei said firmly, “Just decide if you want it or not. Are you a man or not?”

Then, as if she thought of something, she asked, “Could it be that you still have feelings for Lin Mengting?!”

“Sister, it’s not as simple as you think.” In the past, Qin Dong would never have told Qin Mei how much his “love” for Lin Mengting was mixed with interests and values!

But now…

Given the situation, if he didn’t “come clean” with Qin Mei, their relationship would continue to deteriorate until Qin Mei became a stranger or even an enemy.

“Oh?” Qin Mei raised her eyebrows, the emotion in her eyes would have made anyone who saw it tremble with fear. “Then make it quick!”
