Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 234

“Bang!”

Xu Meili’s good mood vanished instantly.

For some reason, she had a bad feeling.

The source of this feeling…

With a spiteful mindset of “if I’m not happy, no one else should be,” Xu Meili walked up to Zheng Gang and said with a mocking smile, “Lin Mengting is back. Are you going to send her flowers again?”

Zheng Gang’s fingers paused briefly on the keyboard, but his eyes didn’t leave the screen as he casually replied, “I’m not foolish enough to court someone who clearly despises me.”

Xu Meili couldn’t contain her sarcasm. “True. You might be short, skinny, and wear glasses, looking like a schemer no one wants to be around. But given your age and abilities, you just need to beckon and plenty of young, pretty girls will flock to you.”

“Did you eat a bullet?” Zheng Gang finally looked up at Xu Meili, surprised. “Why are you so hostile?”

In both their past lives and this one, Xu Meili had always maintained a composed and graceful demeanor, never resorting to such sharp, mocking words in public.

Zheng Gang’s calm and indifferent reaction was unexpected for Xu Meili. She glanced around at their colleagues, who were pretending to be busy while listening intently, and then smirked. “You sure are thick-skinned.”

If Zheng Gang hadn’t mentioned Lin Mengting earlier, she wouldn’t have called her.

So, Zheng Gang was trying to use her as a stepping stone?

Hah!

“You misunderstood,” Zheng Gang said, quickly understanding her insinuation. He rubbed his temples and sighed, “That wasn’t my intention.”

Xu Meili gave him a half-smile, then nonchalantly returned to her desk, ignoring the dark clouds gathering on Zheng Gang’s face and the emotions flickering in his eyes.

Thinking he could use her? He should check his abilities first!

Zheng Gang felt a headache coming on. His gaze remained on the screen, but his mind wandered.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside.

A familiar woman, arm-in-arm with Manager Yu, strutted in with a showy air.

Li Linlin?

Why was she here? And why this grand entrance?

In their previous life, Li Linlin had always hidden her status as a mistress, maintaining a facade of aloofness at the company. Only those who had been with Manager Yu for years knew her true role.

Fortunately, since reuniting at the company, Xu Meili and Zheng Gang had formed an alliance, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of this second chance at life. This understanding kept them from revealing themselves in front of another reborn person.

…

Meanwhile, as Li Linlin walked in, she momentarily paused before resuming her stride, her smile unchanged.

As she had remembered, Xu Meili and Zheng Gang were here, both holding minor supervisory roles in the sales department. Her subtle hints about future industry trends to Manager Yu had paid off.

This way, they wouldn’t leave Wanda in a lurch like last time, taking half the staff with them and gutting the sales department.

Otherwise, any company they joined or founded would struggle with trust and cooperation issues.

This time, Wanda treated them much better than before.

…

Where was Lin Mengting?

Thinking this, Li Linlin glanced towards the seat Lin Mengting occupied in her previous life.

Someone else was there?

A rather handsome young man?

Where was Lin Mengting?

…

A sense of unease filled Li Linlin.

When she learned from Manager Yu that Wanda had not hired any new employees in February, nor was there a medical student working there, her face paled.

“How can this be? Why isn’t she here?!”

According to her previous life, Lin Mengting should have joined Wanda as a low-level assistant in February.

Manager Yu, concerned, gently held the trembling, pale Li Linlin and soothingly patted her back. “What’s wrong? Did this Lin Mengting girl bully you?”

That was the only explanation he could think of.

Li Linlin had always been confident and charming, never giving off a weak or dependent vibe.

“No.” Li Linlin took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing as she hid her ruthlessness, calculating nature, and a hint of weakness and anxiety.

“Didn’t I tell you about seeing a girl arguing with a man the other day?”
