Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 251
Qian Zhiyuan’s eyes glinted with surprise. He hadn’t expected Zheng Gang’s relentless pursuit to show such “deep affection” that it could move anyone.
It’s true that a delicious cake attracts many flies.
Beautiful women and heroes naturally attract each other.
As a “reborn” person who knows the future, Qian Zhiyuan believed he could achieve great things this time around. If it weren’t for his deep hatred for Lin Mengting, who had caused him countless troubles in his past life, he might have been captivated by her charm as well.
But for Zheng Gang, it was a different story.
“I think Lin Mengting met a friend outside and that’s why she’s delayed coming back,” Qian Zhiyuan said calmly, his voice soothing Zheng Gang’s anxiety.
“Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?”
Zheng Gang shook his head, a thought forming in his mind.
“If that’s the case, I’ll tell the receptionist to let you wait for Lin Mengting in the lounge.”
“Thank you,” Zheng Gang hesitated, then added, “Assistant Manager Qian, can you do me another favor?”
“Go ahead,” Qian Zhiyuan said ambiguously, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Zheng Gang lowered his head, not surprised that Lin Mengting wasn’t well-liked at Hongxing Company, just as she had stirred up trouble at Wanda Company in their past life.
“Could you call Tingting for me?”
Qian Zhiyuan was surprised, not understanding Zheng Gang’s request.
This time, Zheng Gang’s head hung even lower.
If there was a crack in the ground, he would have jumped in to hide himself. Revealing his true situation to Qian Zhiyuan was deeply embarrassing.
But to win over Lin Mengting, he had to embarrass himself in front of another man!
Thinking this, his love for Lin Mengting cooled, replaced by a rare feeling of resentment.
Once Lin Mengting was his, he would make sure to humiliate her!
“Maybe because I didn’t tell Tingting about sending roses for half a month, she blocked my number.”
Qian Zhiyuan twitched his lips, not believing Zheng Gang’s story. But he didn’t show it and instead took out his phone to call Lin Mengting.
The call connected quickly.
Hearing the familiar voice, Qian Zhiyuan handed the phone to Zheng Gang and left the room.
Zheng Gang looked up, grateful as he watched Qian Zhiyuan leave.
“Assistant Manager Qian, are you looking for me?”
Not hearing Qian Zhiyuan’s voice, Lin Mengting felt uneasy.
Just as she was about to hang up, a familiar voice came through.
Instantly, her face darkened!
“Tingting, it’s me, Zheng Gang.”
Lin Mengting frowned, quickly realizing that Qian Zhiyuan must have handed the phone to Zheng Gang.
“Mr. Zheng, what do you want?” Though she was annoyed, her tone remained calm and indifferent.
It was as if Zheng Gang was just a stranger, not worth any strong emotions.
“Tingting, when are you coming back to the office?” Zheng Gang asked, hearing soft music in the background. “Or where are you? I’ll come find you.”
He planned to propose to her publicly with the ring he had prepared, hoping the pressure would make her say yes. If she refused, he had a backup plan…
“Mr. Zheng, let me repeat, we are not that familiar. Please call me Miss Lin or by my full name, Lin Mengting.”
“Tingting, do we have to be so distant?” Zheng Gang said painfully.
“Zheng Gang, don’t you understand plain language?” Even a clay statue would get angry after being disturbed repeatedly. “How many times do I have to say that I have a boyfriend?! Stop calling me with this nonsense, I don’t want my boyfriend to misunderstand!”
With that, Lin Mengting hung up decisively.
She didn’t know what to think of Zheng Gang’s persistence, believing that he could win her over with time.
Different values made further conversation pointless!
“Beep… beep…” The busy signal left Zheng Gang bewildered.
He sensed the ruthlessness hidden beneath Lin Mengting’s seemingly gentle and naive appearance.
At that moment, he had a bad feeling.
If he continued to pester her, he feared something terrible would happen!
Startled by his own imagination, Zheng Gang’s face turned pale, and he shivered. When Qian Zhiyuan returned and took the phone, Zheng Gang, like a puppet, stood up and left with the bouquet of roses.
