Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 250

The atmosphere became awkward instantly.

No one knew who started laughing first.

Soon, one person laughed, then another, until the whole crowd was laughing loudly.

Laughter is contagious. Even those who realized they shouldn’t laugh couldn’t help but chuckle after imagining what Sun Lina said. They held their stomachs and laughed even harder.

Zheng Gang was completely confused. He couldn’t understand why things suddenly went wrong. Inside, he was screaming How did this happen? This wasn’t in the plan!

Everyone has their pride, especially someone like Zheng Gang, who, after being reborn, had everything go his way and achieved things in this life that were impossible in his past life. His ego was huge, and his confidence was inflated.

Such a person couldn’t stand being laughed at like this.

Now, Zheng Gang’s face turned red, and his hands trembled. He wanted to leave, but someone blocked his way. He wanted to speak up, but his lips moved without any words coming out.

The embarrassment and shame surrounded him, making him wish he could turn back time.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

A voice like music saved Zheng Gang. He looked up towards the voice.

His eyes lit up with hope.

“Manager Ding, Assistant Manager Qian.”

“Zheng Gang? What are you doing here?”

Manager Ding pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Zheng Gang. He glanced at the bouquet of roses someone had picked up and put on the table. Though surprised that the roses looked crushed, he didn’t show it.

“Are these flowers for your girlfriend? Is it almost time for your big day? Who is she? Can you introduce her?”

Manager Ding suddenly shook his head and laughed. “You young people and your secretive relationships. When I was your age, I was much more straightforward! When I first met your sister-in-law…”

At that moment, Zheng Gang felt the eyes on him burning even more. He could hear whispers around him.

“I didn’t know he was so familiar with our Manager Ding and Assistant Manager Qian.”

“Maybe they’re business partners?”

“Do you believe that?”

“Maybe he’s a competitor!”

“That’s possible! Who else would go to such lengths to embarrass someone?”

“No wonder Lin Mengting avoided him.”

They say “you can’t hide the truth,” and it’s true. Any action leaves traces.

In the workplace, there are many smart people.

Right now, everyone was thinking the same thing. Manager Ding and Assistant Manager Qian, who had been causing trouble for Lin Mengting, suddenly showing up here couldn’t be a coincidence.

And if Zheng Gang was close to them, he couldn’t be good news.

Otherwise, why would Lin Mengting avoid him?

Right, avoid!

Even though no one saw her leave, they could imagine it from this embarrassing scene.

…

“I… I…” Zheng Gang stammered, ready to defend himself, but he saw Qian Zhiyuan giving him a signal. He hesitated.

“Assistant Manager Qian, do you know where Tingting went?”

“So, you’re the one who’s been sending flowers to Lin Mengting!” Qian Zhiyuan thought happily. Zheng Gang, who seemed honest but was actually cunning, quickly understood his intention.

To help Zheng Gang, Qian Zhiyuan walked over and patted his shoulder, teasing, “You have good taste!”

“Out of everyone in the company, Lin Mengting is the youngest, most capable, and prettiest! Marrying someone like her, you’re going to have a great life!”

As he said this, Qian Zhiyuan looked towards Lin Mengting’s desk.

Only then did he realize something was wrong.

For a scene to play out, you need both a male and a female lead.

The male lead was here, but where was the female lead?

“Strange, where did Lin Mengting go? She usually eats nearby and comes back to the office.”

His words made Zheng Gang’s eyes flicker.

Qian Zhiyuan patted Zheng Gang’s shoulder again, more forcefully, guiding him towards the lounge.

“Let’s go sit in there.”

After Qian Zhiyuan and Zheng Gang left, Manager Ding told the remaining employees, “Alright, everyone, back to work! Don’t stand around here, or the boss might see, and it won’t look good.”

The crowd “obediently” dispersed, but their eyes were still full of gossip and curiosity.

…

In the lounge, Qian Zhiyuan made tea for Zheng Gang, then asked with concern, “Why didn’t you call me before coming?”

If he had known, he could have arranged things to make Lin Mengting stay and be forced to accept Zheng Gang’s proposal in front of everyone!

If Lin Mengting ended up with Zheng Gang, she could never reach the same heights as in her previous life!

With connections, everything is different. Without them, she wouldn’t be a threat!

“What’s there to be afraid of with such a Lin Mengting?”

“I wanted to surprise Tingting. But I didn’t expect…” Zheng Gang lowered his head, his expression hard to read, but his body showed deep sadness and disappointment.
