Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 233

“You all just wait…”

Saying such words showed just how exasperated Sun Weiqi felt at that moment.

However, a group of single men, annoyed by Sun Weiqi’s not-so-subtle bragging about his girlfriend, ignored his sour expression and teamed up to strip him down. Of course, they left him in his underwear, not wanting to face his revenge later.

They knew well that “might makes right,” and even joking with Sun Weiqi had its limits.

“No photos?!” Old Li looked at Sun Weiqi in disbelief. He knew Sun Weiqi well enough to expect that he would have brought plenty of photos of his girlfriend to the base. The lack of them was suspicious.

“Sun, this is unacceptable! How can you not carry photos of your girlfriend? How could you not honor her true feelings and devotion?”

Sun Weiqi glanced coolly at Old Li. With such a nosy friend, how could he possibly leave Lin Mengting’s photos out in the open? Old Li, unaware of this, continued to complain until everyone finished unpacking and he rushed over to claim his share.

“These are mine!”

Beef jerky, pork jerky, marinated chicken, duck, chicken feet…

Meat, meat, and more meat—his favorite! He had to grab it all.

Unfortunately, reality wasn’t on his side.

Old Li’s speed couldn’t match the soldiers who had already raided the packages, nor the senior soldiers who had joined the fray while he and Sun Weiqi were arguing.

All Old Li could do was watch as everyone grabbed the snacks he wanted. They didn’t remember that without his tip-off, they wouldn’t have been able to raid Sun Weiqi’s supplies.

After everyone left, joking and happy with their loot, Old Li recited, “The wind is cold at the River Yi (Yishui River), brave men leave never to return!”

“Idiot!” Sun Weiqi calmly buttoned his shirt and walked toward Old Li.

“Hey, stay away!” Old Li, like a bullied little wife, crossed his arms over his chest, his face pale and trembling, stepping back instinctively.

It was… quite a sight!

Though Sun Weiqi silently mocked this in his mind, he didn’t stop. He even cracked his knuckles menacingly, like a beast ready to pounce on its prey.

This guy knew!

He realized that Old Li had orchestrated the whole raid.

Knowing how vengeful Sun Weiqi could be, Old Li envisioned the terrible retribution coming his way.

Panicked, Old Li bolted out the door like a frightened rabbit.

Better to avoid trouble while he could!

“Idiot!” Sun Weiqi muttered, shaking his head. He ignored the pitiful sight of Old Li running into a wall, clutching his forehead in pain. Instead, he bent down to clean up the mess in the room.

He also retrieved several envelopes from between the boxes.

They contained Lin Mengting’s photos, of course!

…

“Hey, Master Artist, I heard you went home for the holidays? Did you bring back any local specialties?”

Using a casual, teasing tone to hide her true intentions, Xu Meili approached Lin Mengting.

“Hello, Miss Xu,” Lin Mengting replied, not directly answering the question. Despite any past grievances, she didn’t want to waste her time and energy engaging with people like Xu Meili. She understood that being overly defensive wasn’t the way to handle such people.

If a person is just slightly better than average, they might attract jealousy and resentment. But if they are exceptional, those feelings often turn into admiration and respect.

In her previous life, Lin Mengting had been trapped by schemes because she wasn’t strong enough. If she had been more powerful, she could have crushed those who plotted against her.

Everyone is the protagonist of their own story.

“I have a call coming in. Let’s chat another time,” Lin Mengting said, hanging up and immediately dialing a client.

“Hello, please connect me to…”

“You’re working with Wanda? No problem, you can compare our prices too…”

“Honestly, our company offers the best prices and services in the industry…”

Yes, she was stealing clients.

She was targeting the clients of Xu Meili and Zheng Gang, both of whom also worked at Wanda.

These were the kinds of clients who could easily achieve their monthly targets with a single deal.

After dealing with reborn schemers like Qin Dong, Xu Meili, and Zheng Gang, Lin Mengting realized that being passive wasn’t the answer. Avoiding conflict wasn’t the same as a peaceful solution; it often came off as weakness.

Even though her actions in this life differed greatly from the memories of those reborn, and she now had a higher status and more influence, they still clung to the belief that they could manipulate her emotionally.
