Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 255

Lin Mengting didn’t know about Li Linlin’s thoughts, Xu Meili’s schemes, or Zheng Gang’s frustration and anger.

But even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

Some people don’t deserve any respect at all.

For people like that, the only way to deal with them once and for all is to completely strip them of their dignity and throw it to the ground for everyone to trample on.

To Lin Mengting, what Zheng Gang and Xu Meili valued most was their “career.”

So, why not take away the foundation of their success?

…

At Hongxing Company, everyone watched as Lin Mengting poured all her energy into work and studies, as if she had a shot of adrenaline. In a short time, her performance soared again.

Simply put, Lin Mengting was becoming a “strong woman.”

This made Manager Ding more and more uneasy. He constantly worried that during company meetings, as Lin Mengting’s name came up more often, she would be promoted to department manager, while he would either be transferred or demoted.

Such things had happened before.

Controlled by his anxiety, Manager Ding couldn’t hold back his temper and frequently picked on Lin Mengting.

Unfortunately for him, no matter what dirty tricks he used, they never worked against Lin Mengting. Instead, she used them against him time and again.

Many times, Manager Ding nearly spat out blood in anger.

…

As for Qian Zhiyuan?

When he realized things were heading in a bad direction, he tried to back out.

Unfortunately, while the thought was nice, reality was harsh.

After Manager Ding failed repeatedly and finally had moments of rare clarity, he noticed Qian Zhiyuan’s hidden actions.

So now, even if Qian Zhiyuan wanted to back out, Manager Ding, determined to drag someone down with him, wouldn’t let go.

It’s true what they say, “A cornered rabbit will bite.”

And he couldn’t complain, because he had underestimated both Manager Ding and Lin Mengting from the beginning.

No matter how much he regretted it, he had to deal with the mess he created.

…

And what about Sun Weiqi?

Even though Sun Weiqi had established himself as her “boyfriend,” Lin Mengting’s cold nature from her past life kept her from being the type to pine away for him.

Even though two months had passed since they last met and she hadn’t heard from Sun Weiqi, Lin Mengting didn’t feel much anxiety or fear.

This wasn’t just because of Sun Weiqi’s special identity, but also because her memories of her past life told her that he wouldn’t “sacrifice” himself for several more years.

Though, on quiet nights, Lin Mengting sometimes worried about him getting hurt on a mission.

But now, with their different lives, this kind of situation would continue. So, she quickly decided to be a solid support for Sun Weiqi, giving him the strongest backing. This way, he could focus entirely on his work, reducing any risks of getting hurt.

…

Time flew by, and soon it was mid-May.

Everyone arrived at the company on time, got on the company bus, and headed towards a rural resort in a neighboring city, chatting and laughing along the way.

The owner of this resort was quite a legendary figure.

Twenty years ago, he bought the entire mountain and signed a 100-year lease, ignoring the ridicule from others and the advice of friends and family.

A few years ago, he accidentally discovered hot springs on the mountain, and those mocking eyes turned into looks of envy and jealousy. Many sharp-eyed businessmen tried to buy the mountain from him for a high price.

If it were someone else, they might have sold the mountain for a high price and lived a comfortable life with the money.

But he refused all offers and invested all his savings to turn the mountain into a rural resort.

In the 90s, while the economy was developing, it hadn’t truly taken off. Many people laughed at his decision again.

But who could have guessed that within ten years, he would be making a fortune?

Even in 2001, the resort was still very popular. This was evident as Lin Mengting’s department had to book rooms half a month in advance.

Unless someone had a lot of influence, they wouldn’t find a place to stay if they came here without a reservation.

They might enjoy some authentic rural food and soak in a hot spring, but then they’d have to drive back.

Even for locals, this was tiring, not to mention Lin Mengting and her colleagues who came from a neighboring city. They had to leave right after work on Friday, and return on Sunday afternoon.

The schedule was tight.

But that didn’t dampen their enthusiasm.

Lin Mengting shared a room with Yang Ping, a close friend from the operations department.

Once in the room, Yang Ping took out a light blue swimsuit, ready to change and relax in the hot spring.

Lin Mengting, however, took out her toiletry bag, intending to wash her face in the bathroom.

Seeing this, Yang Ping quickly urged her, “Mengting, hurry up! We need to get a good spot!”

“Huh?” Lin Mengting’s voice came from the bathroom. “I’m not going. You go ahead.”

“No way!” Yang Ping, now in her swimsuit and slippers, leaned against the bathroom wall, her eyes darting around Lin Mengting. She smiled and said, “Everyone’s going. You can’t miss out!”

After a pause, Yang Ping’s smile turned sly. “Oh, I get it. You’re embarrassed, aren’t you?”
