Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 213

When most of the dishes were served, Lin Mengting stood up, holding a glass of red wine. She smiled sincerely and said, “To show my deep apologies to everyone, I’ll drink three glasses first!”

With that, she drank three glasses of red wine in a row.

Her actions were smooth and graceful, instantly earning cheers and applause. Everyone looked at her with excitement and admiration.

The tension caused by Fang Min’s words disappeared immediately!

“Lin Mengting, I didn’t know you could drink so well! Next time there’s a party, I’ll call you!”

“Lin Mengting, you don’t get red when you drink? People like you can drink a lot without getting drunk!”

“Come on, fill up the glasses!”

…

As a “good girl,” Lin Mengting at this age really didn’t know how to drink.

But being a “young-looking fox” with lots of experience from her past life, she wasn’t worried about mixing red wine with soda and lemonade. Even if she drank a whole bottle, it wouldn’t affect her much.

“More!”

“Okay!”

…

Fang Min lowered her eyes, hiding her surprise and anger.

【I can’t believe my plan to paint her as snobbish has failed because of her!】

【I didn’t expect Lin Mengting to handle her drink so well…】

【Wait, drinking?!】

【Alcohol?!】

【This could be useful!】

【For example, drunken behavior at a supposedly innocent reunion could be used against her…】

【Or drug use, turning it into a scandalous party…】

【Any of these could ruin Lin Mengting’s life!】

…

“Tingting, you missed our last get-together. It really bothered me.”

Fang Min held a wine glass in one hand and an unopened bottle of red wine in the other. “I planned that reunion for a long time, and you were the only one who didn’t show up! Do you think that was fair to me or to everyone who made time to see you?”

“I really had an urgent matter that day.” Lin Mengting sighed, hiding her shock and showing a wry smile. “Working for someone else has its downsides. You guys don’t know that our phones must be on 24/7. When a client calls, no matter what we’re doing, we have to help them. Otherwise, we get complaints, lose orders, lose jobs, and end up with nothing.”

“Yeah, right!” Fang Min raised her voice, “You earn over ten thousand a month. If the boss fires anyone, it won’t be you! Otherwise, it’s the boss who’ll lose out, not you!”

Ten thousand a month? In 2001, in a small town in M City, the highest-paid official earned just over three thousand!

“My gosh! Lin Mengting, does your company need more people? Even a basic job there would be better than struggling all year to earn less than ten thousand!”

“And me? Lin Mengting, can you help me get a job with one of your clients? I don’t need much, just two thousand a month.”

“And me…”

In no time, Lin Mengting was surrounded by people asking for job referrals.

“Let’s not talk about work at a reunion. Come on, let’s drink!” Fang Min held up her glass, inviting everyone to join in. “Let’s drink!”

“Can’t refuse such hospitality,” Lin Mengting thought.

However, as someone who had been through two lifetimes and had extensive drinking experience, Lin Mengting wouldn’t let Fang Min’s taunts get to her.

“Eat some food too, so we don’t waste all this good food,” Lin Mengting said, smiling and inviting everyone to eat. Her relaxed and natural demeanor made Fang Min clench her teeth in frustration.

In a short time, Lin Mengting had the situation under control, leaving Fang Min feeling like an outsider.

Outsider?

These people wouldn’t have broken the ice and bonded with Lin Mengting if it weren’t for her arrangements.

Was it “thankless” or “use and discard”?

No, she couldn’t let such thoughts distract her. Lin Mengting’s recent provocations had her head spinning.

…

After the last bottle of red wine was opened, Fang Min got up, took her purse, and headed to the bathroom.

In a secluded corner, Fang Min closed the bathroom door, leaned against the wall, and quickly made a few phone calls.

“Hello…”

Five minutes later, Fang Min hung up, walked to the sink, and let the water run as she admired her slender fingers under the dim light.

Soon, the bathroom door opened.

A plain-looking waiter walked in, took a small foil package and a cash check from Fang Min, and quickly left.

Fang Min stood there, watching the waiter leave, a cold and sinister smile forming on her lips.
