Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 221

“Happy New Year!”

“Congratulations and best wishes, give me a red envelope!”

Even though Lin Mengting returned to work after the Lantern Festival, she still received large red envelopes from her married colleagues. The ones from her bosses were especially generous!

Unfortunately, her excitement didn’t last long. The next moment, Lin Mengting felt frustrated.

Another customer complaint!

This time, it was from a normally very understanding and kind customer who suddenly couldn’t hold back their anger.

“It’s like this…” Lin Mengting felt bitter.

Who would have thought that her usually capable colleagues could make such basic mistakes and get caught by the customer?

To protect the company’s image and maintain internal harmony, she had to downplay the issue and blame it on another company!

In simple terms, she had to deny any fault!

Pretending to be busy, Qian Zhiyuan, who was eavesdropping, smirked coldly.

[Fighting with me, Lin Mengting is still too naive!]

[Manager? Ha! I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking, promoting such a young girl to department manager!]

[In terms of qualifications, experience, education, and performance, Lin Mengting and I are equals! But the company chose to promote her and ignore me? What does she have that I don’t? Plus, I’m a man, strong and reliable. Normally, the company should consider me first!]

[Damn it, how has this ridiculous company not gone bankrupt!]

[Just wait, once I’ve saved enough money, I’ll take a bunch of elite employees and start my own company!]

After persuading another customer, Lin Mengting narrowed her eyes, looking at Qian Zhiyuan’s smug back with a touch of mockery.

So that’s it!

No wonder her capable colleagues were making small mistakes and usually friendly customers were suddenly so explosive!

She didn’t know what to say about this fool!

Internal fights are one thing, but playing with customers is risky. Doesn’t he fear being found out and fired, leaving him with a bad reputation in the industry?

With this attitude, he wants to start his own company? Ha!

…

At that moment, her phone rang again.

The girl from HR clicked her mouse and smiled. “Tingting, the final rehearsal for the annual meeting performance is scheduled for tomorrow at 3 PM. Don’t forget to join.”

“Annual meeting?” Lin Mengting was surprised. “I didn’t sign up for the performance. There must be a mistake.”

“Impossible!” The girl sat up straight, her smile freezing for a moment as she quickly typed on her computer. “I checked the records, and you did fill out the form. We received the email a week before your ‘cultural exchange activity’. You were supposed to attend earlier rehearsals, but since you’re performing a painting, we all assumed you could skip to the final rehearsal.”

Lin Mengting quickly realized someone was setting her up and checked last year’s calendar. “Can you check the date that email was sent?”

“December 28th, Thursday afternoon around 3 PM.”

“That definitely wasn’t me because I was out meeting clients that afternoon, not in the office. Maybe someone used my computer by mistake,” Lin Mengting laughed. “Can you remove my name?”

At this point, the HR girl couldn’t pretend anymore.

She realized this mistake was mostly her fault. But this annual meeting was too important for any errors, or she’d have to pack up and leave.

“Tingting, I’m really sorry, but I need your help!” The girl sounded desperate over the phone. “Not only are the company leaders attending, but we’ve also invited big companies we work with and important government officials.”

This was the biggest annual meeting in Hongxing’s history.

And for such a big event, each performance had to be perfect, showcasing the spirit, unity, and interests of Hongxing employees!

Lin Mengting’s painting performance was crucial!

Especially when the leaders learned that Lin Mengting was not only hardworking and achieved great results but also took adult education courses and joined the G Province Painting Association as a promising young artist. They immediately decided her performance should be one of the highlights!

“This really is ‘forced onto the stage’!” Lin Mengting smiled bitterly. “Do I just need to do the painting performance? No other acts?”

Knowing Qian Zhiyuan’s petty nature, it was hard to believe he wouldn’t try to sabotage her big moment.

The HR girl was quick-witted. She read out the email again, “A new show combining painting and dance, showcasing Chinese cultural and artistic features, something that will leave people amazed and wanting more.”

Just as expected!

Lin Mengting’s face twitched.

What did she do to deserve so many people scheming against her!

Clearly, this plan wasn’t just Qian Zhiyuan’s doing; someone else with a deep understanding of her had orchestrated this.

Who was the real mastermind behind this plot?
