Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 253

“How can you be so stupid?!”

Unable to hold back her anger, Xu Meili yelled at Zheng Gang, “You’ve come this far, success is right in front of you, and you just say ‘give up’ and let it go! Do you know what your giving up means? It means your two years of hard work are wasted!”

Of course, if it was just that, it would be fine.

After all, in both his past and present life, Zheng Gang had always been a coward.

Wasting two rare years was nothing much.

But for Xu Meili, it was something she absolutely couldn’t accept!

After all, she had nearly exhausted herself to bring Lin Mengting and Zheng Gang together. Especially when the “butterfly effect” had unexpected consequences with Lin Mengting, there was a time she couldn’t eat or sleep, staying up all night.

…

“Enough!” they say, “even a rabbit will bite when cornered,” and Zheng Gang, though a bit simple-minded, never had a good temper.

Especially after being favored by the heavens and given a chance to live again, gaining the “key to a wonderful and exciting new life,” he became extremely proud, or rather, arrogant.

Until he kept failing with Lin Mengting, his feet that had been floating finally touched the ground.

“You think I wanted it to turn out like this…”

If there was any chance, even if he had to throw away his pride and dignity, he would still want to marry Lin Mengting.

But all of this was based on forming a connection, not a grudge!

Especially, not with someone as capable and well-connected as Lin Mengting!

Xu Meili looked at the hysterical Zheng Gang with a faint sympathy and pity in her heart, but she quickly extinguished those feelings.

“Zheng Gang, how long has it been since you visited clients? How long since you’ve called your old clients?”

Zheng Gang suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes staring at Xu Meili fiercely.

Unfortunately, Xu Meili wasn’t afraid at all. She even had a faint mocking smile.

See, so-called “love” is just like this!

In this world, no one really can’t live without someone else.

Profit is what people like them chase their whole lives!

“Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed that your performance this month is terrible.”

How terrible?

Even worse than a new employee.

Zheng Gang’s heart sank, and he clenched his fists tightly by his side, “Xu Meili, what do you mean?”

“If I hadn’t been alert, I might have ended up just as badly this month!” Xu Meili said calmly, her voice showing a faint trace of fatigue and weariness.

And this side of Xu Meili made Zheng Gang even more anxious!

In both their past and present lives, no matter how troublesome things were, Xu Meili always handled them calmly and confidently. She never showed any sign of giving up in front of others.

“You…” Zheng Gang began, but he noticed his voice was trembling.

How could he show such a weak side to Xu Meili?

So, he immediately shut up, frowning and looking at Xu Meili with displeasure, showing he wouldn’t let it go until she explained clearly.

Xu Meili sneered and sighed, “Zheng Gang, what can I say about you?”

In his past life, Zheng Gang wasn’t good at handling relationships. Especially with the company’s follow-up department, he had tense relations with the staff. They often resented each other, only not sabotaging each other’s work outright.

Of course, it wasn’t that the staff didn’t dare, but they hadn’t found the opportunity.

Now, with such a golden chance, who would miss it?

Zheng Gang frowned deeply, thoughts racing through his mind, his lips twitching several times, but for some reason, he didn’t dare to ask directly.

“Ha!” Xu Meili laughed again, “It seems no one told you that many of your clients didn’t place orders this month! Even your major clients reduced their orders by more than half.”

“What?!” Even though he had a bad feeling and was mentally prepared, hearing this news shocked Zheng Gang, “That’s impossible! Those clients are hard to steal!”

Since his rebirth, he had done everything to “win” those clients, treating them almost like gods.

Thinking back to those moments of flattery and fawning made him truly realize the importance of “power,” “money,” and “status”!

“Then you should ask yourself!” Xu Meili paused, looking at Zheng Gang’s anxious face, and continued, “Do you want work or love?”

“You mean?” Zheng Gang, catching the hint in Xu Meili’s words, didn’t want to believe her guess, but his rational mind couldn’t deny it, “These clients were taken by Lin Mengting?”

Before Xu Meili could reply, Zheng Gang shook his head, quickly denying his own guess, “Impossible!”

Maybe the Xu Meili from ten years later could do this quietly, but now, the 19-year-old Lin Mengting?

What a joke!

But Xu Meili’s look made Zheng Gang feel like his heart was sinking into a deep pit.

Even so, Zheng Gang still didn’t want to believe it.

“Impossible! Lin Mengting doesn’t have that ability…”

“Believe it or not, it’s true.” Xu Meili said calmly, the sympathy and pity in her eyes flashing briefly before disappearing. She felt fortunate she hadn’t put all her energy and effort into “dealing” with Lin Mengting, or else she might have ended up like Zheng Gang!

“Impossible…” Zheng Gang shook his head, but reality had already set in, and there was no changing it.
