Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 202

Benefactor luck?

How could there be such a mystical concept in this world?!

Qin Mei really wanted to tell herself that this wasn’t true, that she must have misheard, or that Qin Dong had fallen into a delusion to reach such a conclusion! However, with her experience and insight, she could discern the “shocking” and “bizarre” elements in Qin Dong’s words.

Other than the omnipresent “benefactor” assistance, there was no other way to explain everything that had happened to Lin Mengting!

“So, this is the real reason you’ve been chasing after Lin Mengting all this time?!”

Qin Mei spoke bitterly. Although she was relieved and pleased that Qin Dong hadn’t developed feelings for Lin Mengting, an increasingly outstanding and beautiful girl, the thought of Qin Dong plotting against a young girl for years sent chills down her spine, even to someone as ruthless and pragmatic as herself.

Noticing Qin Mei’s change in expression, Qin Dong lowered his eyes, feeling a bit dejected. If not for this, he wouldn’t have kept it from Qin Mei for so long.

Qin Mei sighed but forced herself to stay composed. “So, what are you going to do now? Judging by today, Lin Mengting definitely doesn’t intend to join our company.”

Faced with a girl who was impervious to both soft and hard tactics and had many benefactors, even the clever and strategic Qin Mei felt helpless.

Before Qin Dong could respond, Qin Mei continued, “Forcing her to join through means she can’t accept might backfire. She could end up sabotaging our company, which would be counterproductive.”

“Why don’t we try to befriend her instead?” Benefactor luck is like the elusive “fortune” mentioned in TV dramas and novels—unseen and intangible, but something that can be leveraged.

Otherwise, why would so many people try to latch onto powerful figures?!

“Sis, do you think we still have a chance to befriend Lin Mengting?” Qin Dong smiled bitterly. If he had known his rebirth would drastically alter Lin Mengting’s life, he would never have stuck to her like glue from the beginning.

“Why not!” Qin Mei waved dismissively, disagreeing with Qin Dong. “In this world, there are no eternal enemies or friends.”

Loyalty is just a matter of interests not being high enough to warrant betrayal.

The marketplace is like a battlefield, full of mutual use and caution—such is human nature.

“We just need to show our sincerity now…”

If Lin Mengting still insists on opposing them, it might initially affect them. But once the situation escalates, the one under scrutiny and public criticism would be Lin Mengting!

…

Lin Mengting was unaware of the Qin siblings’ scheming.

Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

After all, in this world, who doesn’t plot against others? And who isn’t plotted against?

Ultimately, it all boils down to “interests.”

With her mind-reading ability and being reborn, if she were still outsmarted by Qin Mei and Qin Dong, then she truly wouldn’t deserve to live!

Despite this, Lin Mengting’s plan to “stay home and fatten up” was forced to halt.

Perhaps due to the Qin siblings spreading news of her wealth in S City, or Fang Min, who also disliked Lin Mengting, spreading similar rumors, the once quiet Lin family quickly became lively.

It was then that Lin Mengting truly understood the saying “the threshold is worn down.”

Waves of relatives were one thing.

In these times, strict adherence to the “one prospers, all prosper; one falls, all fall” rule was gone. But the idea of “one person achieves success, everyone benefits” still held.

What truly exasperated Lin Mengting was the flood of classmates.

From kindergarten, elementary, and middle school, they came in groups or with families.

Even if these so-called “classmates” barely spoke to her back then and had no deep connection, neither Lin Mengting nor her family could coldly shut them out.

So, every day, Lin Mengting heard countless compliments and well-wishes.

And then?

Of course, it led to reminiscing about school days and subtly shifting to current jobs and family.

Questions like

How did Lin Mengting overcome her introverted nature to choose a job that required constant interaction with people?

How did she quickly adapt to the job, generate huge profits, and gain her company’s favor?

How did she buy high-quality items at low prices?

And then?

Naturally, they would subtly ask if Lin Mengting’s company was hiring and if she could help get them or a relative a job there.

As for persuading Lin Mengting to help buy cheap goods?

What a joke!

In the face of “befriending Lin Mengting,” such trivial matters were not worth mentioning.

After all, by leveraging her connection, they could enter her company, mingle in her unique “circle,” and meet people who could provide these high-quality goods.

Besides, Lin Mengting had many other valuable connections!
