Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 243

“Tingting, someone sent you flowers.”

It was noon, and Lin Mengting had just finished lunch with a few colleagues and returned to the company when the receptionist, Sun Lina, called out to her.

Before Lin Mengting could respond, her colleagues started teasing her.

“Flowers? Tingting, did you meet another handsome guy?”

“What are you talking about? It’s definitely Tingting’s soldier boyfriend, finally realizing his mistake and buying flowers to apologize!”

“I don’t think these flowers are from Tingting’s boyfriend. Soldiers don’t have ‘romance’ in their dictionary.”

“That’s because those military wives don’t know how to train them. But Tingting is so smart and beautiful, she could easily train a loyal husband! Sending flowers is nothing, he’d even hand over his bankbook without hesitation!”

It was a large, vibrant bouquet of red roses, about 99 in total.

Lin Mengting frowned slightly, feeling a sense of unease.

From her experience, only a few people would send her roses without any notice…

Despite the various thoughts running through her mind, she stepped forward to take the flowers under the curious, teasing, and skeptical gazes of her colleagues. She carefully looked through them but couldn’t find any clues. Helplessly, she asked, “Did the delivery guy say anything?”

Sun Lina shook her head, also puzzled by the anonymous flower delivery.

“In that case, let’s share these flowers with everyone!” Although she had many questions, Lin Mengting decided to put the matter aside, handling it with a calm and composed attitude.

Maybe her indifferent attitude made everyone lose interest in gossiping. After all, it wasn’t the first time someone had sent her roses.

Of course, in a big company like Hongxing Logistics, no matter how good the company’s culture was, there were always small cliques.

Among these, there were those unmarried women who looked down on Lin Mengting, thinking she was flirtatious and juggling several relationships. Otherwise, why would so many people send her roses, especially when she had already mentioned she had a boyfriend?

Such women, no matter how capable, were not worth befriending in their eyes. They doubted her character!

They wouldn’t want to associate with her and end up gaining nothing but a bad reputation!

Lin Mengting didn’t care about these people’s opinions.

After all, she wasn’t money.

Moreover, even money wasn’t liked by everyone.

In a company or a department, having a few people who disliked you and criticized you was perfectly normal.

As long as their behavior didn’t affect her life or work, she didn’t mind letting them act like clowns, making a fool of themselves.

In the end, there were still many smart people in this world.

Those who kept stirring up trouble would eventually face the consequences.

The next day, Lin Mengting, having guessed who might have sent the flowers, stayed in the company to receive the 99 roses herself.

At the same time, she got the florist’s phone number and address from the delivery guy, as well as the shop owner’s contact information.

After distributing the 99 roses as she did the day before, Lin Mengting continued her work calmly, despite the envious, jealous, and gossiping looks from her colleagues.

After work, she went to the flower shop owner and explained who she was, asking, “Hello, can you tell me who ordered the flowers?”

“Sorry, I can’t disclose that information,” the owner paused, then smiled and comforted her, “Maybe it’s your boyfriend planning a romantic surprise for you.”

But after the surprise?

Of course, it would be a proposal, leading to a happy marriage!

Lin Mengting shook her head, troubled, “My boyfriend just returned to his unit. He’s a soldier, he wouldn’t come up with such a romantic idea.”

“A soldier?!” The owner’s expression froze for a moment, picturing a strong, disciplined man who strictly followed rules.

In both TV shows and real life, such men were indeed not good at wooing women and didn’t understand the meaning behind roses, movies, concerts, or candlelight dinners.

Lin Mengting sighed and said, “Recently, I attended a conference and met many people. One man pursued me intensely, but I clearly rejected him. But he probably thought I was playing hard to get, believing his slow and steady approach would work on me, so he kept bothering me. Sometimes, I really want to ask him, ‘What do you like about me? I’ll change, okay?!’ I really don’t want these random people and things to affect my relationship with my boyfriend. You know, soldiers spend most of their time in their units, rarely having time for their girlfriends. I don’t want him to worry about me, or add more troubles to his life. I don’t want our pure love to be shadowed by these senseless people. This is my concern, and I think you can understand it, right?!”

The owner nodded, as a fellow outstanding and beautiful woman, she understood Lin Mengting’s troubles.

But company rules were rules, and she couldn’t reveal too much to Lin Mengting.
