Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 192

Seeing that Lin Mengting was about to deflect her question again, Fang Min narrowed her eyes and said with a half-smile, “That was then. Now, even if we combined all our classmates’ reputations, we wouldn’t match your fame and influence in society! Young artist!” Fang Min looked at Lin Mengting with exaggerated envy and jealousy.

“You have no idea how shocked we were when we heard! Even our teachers kept talking about you, telling other students to learn from your example…”

A string of compliments flowed from Fang Min’s mouth, her excitement and slight exaggeration making Lin Mengting feel a bit amused.

“Luckily, you’re in S City and your parents are busy. Otherwise, you’d be surrounded by admirers!”

“It’s not that exaggerated,” Lin Mengting laughed. “You know I’ve always loved drawing. I wanted to go to art school, but my family didn’t agree. They said I wouldn’t find a job, so I went to medical school instead. But I never gave up on drawing. When I got to S City, I joined some activities at the local youth center and won a good place. That helped me join the Painting and Calligraphy Association. I’m just going with the flow. If it were you, you’d be even more successful.”

“Your drawings are really good,” Fang Min admitted, even with her two lifetimes of experience. Lin Mengting’s talent was undeniable.

【But finding a mentor is rare.】

【Lin Mengting was just lucky, always meeting people willing to help her at every turn.】

【In her past life, Fang Min didn’t see it this way, but since her rebirth, she has been increasingly envious.】

【Why does Lin Mengting get such special treatment? Is she favored by fate itself?】

【If fate can be changed, then Lin Mengting’s downfall is possible!】

“I’ve kept the drawing you did in my autograph book. Maybe one day it’ll be a family heirloom,” Fang Min said, looking at Lin Mengting. “By the way, Tingting, can you give me some of your paintings? I should collect a few before your name becomes world-famous. When you become famous, I could sell them for a high price! Who knows, selling one of your paintings might make more money than my company in ten years!”

“I think I could fly,” Lin Mengting laughed, avoiding the topic of giving paintings to Fang Min.

Clearly, if Fang Min got her hands on the paintings, they wouldn’t be appreciated properly.

“No one would want their hard work treated poorly.”

“By the way, you mentioned twenty of our classmates went to teachers’ college. Who are they?” Lin Mengting asked, smiling. “Let me guess Yu Xiaodong, Wen Xiaolan, and Fu Ling.”

These three had parents who were teachers. In such a small town, their futures were already mapped out.

Fang Min’s smile stiffened for a moment, a flash of resentment in her eyes. Lin Mengting realized that back then, she was too naive to see that “teacher’s kids” weren’t always on friendly terms.

“No wonder these ‘reborn’ people think I’m easily deceived.”

“Yu Xiaodong’s father is very resourceful. He would never leave his only son without a good job,” Fang Min said coldly, inwardly regretting she hadn’t been reborn sooner to disrupt Yu Xiaodong’s father’s plans.

“If only, then her father could have advanced further! You didn’t know? The year we left middle school, Yu Xiaodong’s father was promoted to principal of the town’s middle school,” Fang Min said mockingly.

“They said it was because his students’ grades were the best, so he got promoted. Yu Xiaodong immediately got a job as a math teacher at the middle school.”

Lin Mengting blinked. She knew Yu’s father was skilled at networking but didn’t expect this!

“I thought the town’s middle school teachers had to have bachelor’s degrees and be top-notch!”

“You forgot about our politics teacher? She only had a high school diploma,” Fang Min said, her face calm but her eyes betraying her true feelings.

“Who wouldn’t want to be a teacher? Especially at the town’s middle school, with summer and winter breaks, extra benefits, and respect!”

“For someone like Fang Min, who had experienced life’s harsh realities, being a teacher seemed like the best choice.”

“But that life is gone forever!!”
