Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 254

“Xu Meili!”

After teasing Zheng Gang and getting back at him a little for her past life, Xu Meili felt great as she left his dorm room.

But the next moment, her happiness turned into surprise. How did she run into Li Linlin at this time?!

Though she was grumbling inside, Xu Meili put on a bright smile and greeted, “Madam.”

“Hey! Don’t call me Madam, just call me by my name.” Li Linlin waved her hand, clearly unhappy with the formal address. However, her narrowed eyes and softened look gave away her true feelings.

Xu Meili just smiled and didn’t argue.

Li Linlin came prepared and didn’t want to waste time. “Xu Meili, you’re from the same hometown as Zheng Gang and get along well. Do you know which pretty girl he’s planning to send flowers to this time?”

Xu Meili, who had long guessed Li Linlin’s true intentions, squinted slightly. Her long lashes hid the mockery in her eyes, while her face remained calm.

“I heard it’s a capable girl from Hongxing Company. I think her name is Lin Mengting.”

Lin Mengting? Lin Mengting!

Li Linlin’s eyes widened, and her smile froze for a moment.

Although she quickly composed herself, Xu Meili, who was watching her closely, noticed the brief lapse.

“Hongxing Company? Not bad!” Li Linlin raised an eyebrow.

“I heard from Old Yu that the boss of Hongxing Company is at least ten times richer than him! If the boss is that wealthy, he wouldn’t be stingy. The employees must have great salaries, bonuses, and benefits! Also, I heard Hongxing Company only hires people with a bachelor’s degree! Zheng Gang is lucky to have such an outstanding girlfriend!”

“Exactly!” Xu Meili’s eyes twinkled as she smirked.

“Zheng Gang was having a fight with his girlfriend, and I was just comforting him. A man shouldn’t argue with a girl, especially one who’s not even twenty yet.”

“Not even twenty?!” Li Linlin immediately caught the crucial detail.

“No matter how smart she is or how good her grades were, she couldn’t have graduated with a bachelor’s degree before twenty!”

“Sigh!” Xu Meili sighed deeply.

“That’s exactly what they argued about! But I don’t blame Zheng Gang. After all, our Wanda Company has many vocational and high school graduates. Even I’m just a high school graduate. Zheng Gang, a university graduate, never looked down on us. But that girl felt ashamed of her vocational diploma and told Zheng Gang she had a bachelor’s degree to avoid suspicion that she got into Hongxing Company through special means.”

Xu Meili said “special means” casually, but Li Linlin’s mind filled with vivid images.

“As a result, when Zheng Gang went to Hongxing Company to give her flowers and propose, he accidentally overheard the truth from her colleagues and came back furious!”

Li Linlin was shocked but didn’t show it. She even sympathized, “Such a small matter, yet it caused such a fuss. Men should be more forgiving.” She paused and then half-jokingly added, “It’s hard enough to find a young, pretty, talented, and capable girlfriend these days!”

“True!” Xu Meili nodded, as if finally finding someone to vent to. She continued, “That’s what I told him too…”

With Xu Meili’s cooperation, Li Linlin gathered plenty of information about Lin Mengting.

To Li Linlin, Lin Mengting not working at Wanda Company as she did in the past life was not important. The “butterfly effect” was too mysterious to figure out.

Even Lin Mengting doing well at Hongxing Company with just a vocational diploma only made Li Linlin sneer.

What really bothered her was Lin Mengting’s luck or maybe talent in painting and calligraphy!

Think about it, a girl under twenty with strong work skills was still just an employee. But a girl under twenty who was already a member of the Provincial Painting and Calligraphy Association, admired by many experts, and had a bright future—who was easier to crush like an ant?

How did things turn out like this?

What went wrong?

Li Linlin didn’t know. But facing such a Lin Mengting, her plans to deal with Lin Mengting had to be stopped!

Otherwise, she might end up with a miserable failure.

In that case, what was the point of her rebirth?

Luckily, after being reborn, she focused on winning Mr. Yu’s love, aiming to become a successful career woman with a happy love life!

Now, she had achieved that!

No longer did she have to hide in a corner, watching the woman who received Mr. Yu’s affection with envy, jealousy, and hatred, wishing to replace her…

If Xu Meili knew that her words had not only failed to make Li Linlin hate Lin Mengting, but also made Li Linlin grateful for her reborn decisions, she might have been so angry she’d vomit blood, or worse.

It just shows that different choices at different times can truly affect one’s future.

Qin Dong and Qin Mei, the siblings, as well as Fang Min, were examples.

Xu Meili and Zheng Gang, who secretly allied against Lin Mengting, were the same.

Li Linlin, who also got a second chance, was no different.
