Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 285

A Soldier? How could a girl like Lin Mengting possibly find a soldier as a boyfriend? Only an idiot like Zheng Gang would steadfastly believe that Lin Mengting admired the military, loved soldiers, and was determined to marry one.

In her past life, Zheng Gang missed out on Lin Mengting because of his doubts. In this life, he made the same mistake again, wasting the ‘rebirth’ opportunity given by heaven!

Idiot!

If only she were the only one reborn in this world, how great it would be!!

Alas, what a pity!!

…

Lin Mengting “…”

Are they starting to have conflicts?

That’s good. Should she add fuel to the fire?

…

But the next moment, Lin Mengting extinguished that unrealistic thought.

She knew that with Xu Meili and Zheng Gang, two self-proclaimed extraordinary “reborn” individuals, who were mentally unstable and could “relapse” at any time, it was impossible to understand and think of them as normal people!

If, by any chance, her attempts to sow discord failed and backfired, she would end up in trouble. It would truly be a case of “losing the wife and the soldiers.”

Better to continue watching from the sidelines!

Although many thoughts flashed through Lin Mengting’s mind in a short time, her face showed no sign of it.

However, in Xu Meili’s eyes, it seemed like Lin Mengting remained unchanged from her past life’s “foodie” nature, with her eyes and mind only on the milk tea and cake, not caring about anything else.

So, Xu Meili’s eyes flickered slightly. The feeling of her painstakingly “persuasive” words not having the desired effect was really frustrating!

The only thing that satisfied her was that she had keenly sensed a fleeting contempt and mockery, displeasure and ridicule in her boyfriend’s eyes.

Indeed, every successful man looked down on women who entangled themselves with others, giving off a “flower among the crowd, untouched by any leaves” vibe.

Even if that woman was exceptionally talented and capable, to them, she was just a toy for amusement in their spare time, not worth a shred of genuine affection.

This was because such men, after floating in the chaotic world for many years like fallen spirits in the eighteenth layer of hell, longed for light.

What could attract their attention, be cherished and protected by them, were only those genuinely “naive and pure” and “kind-hearted” girls!

Xu Meili sighed deeply again and looked at Lin Mengting with a “hate iron for not becoming steel” expression, “Well, after all, we are just friends. As a friend, my duty is to warn you, but I can’t interfere too much.”

“You always worry so much!” Xu Meili’s boyfriend shook his head and said to her, “Young people are always fearless. When they truly experience difficulties and setbacks, they will mature and understand. At most, you can just keep an eye on your friend in the future.”

At this moment, Lin Mengting’s phone rang.

She looked up at the number and said to Xu Meili, “Excuse me, I need to take this call.”

Then, without waiting for a response, Lin Mengting grabbed her bag and left.

Xu Meili was stunned. She hadn’t expected Lin Mengting to be so disrespectful!

But she hadn’t considered why Lin Mengting should show her any respect.

Does she owe her anything?!

“Your friend has quite a temper!” The man with his arm around Xu Meili’s shoulders remarked with some ambiguous meaning.

“Young, beautiful, and capable girls are all like this.”

Noticing her boyfriend’s changing emotions, Xu Meili felt a deep sense of hatred, thinking that today’s planned “coincidental” meeting with Lin Mengting had backfired!

Despite all her efforts to blacken Lin Mengting’s reputation, this man was still interested in her!

Or perhaps, this was the unique “charm” Lin Mengting possessed in both her past and present lives?

—The kind of charm that always attracted benefactors willing to help her, and Zheng Gang’s relentless pursuit in both lifetimes?

With this thought, Xu Meili breathed a sigh of relief, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settling back down.

The man, however, didn’t notice Xu Meili’s change.

Or rather, in the eyes of such a wealthy and powerful man, someone like Xu Meili was just a pastime.

Other concerns were unnecessary.

Just like no one would have extra emotions towards ants on the roadside that could be easily crushed.

“What do you mean by that?”

Luckily, Xu Meili didn’t know what the man was thinking. Otherwise, her face would have turned pale, unable to maintain her “gentle and kind,” fitting the role of a matriarch, “graceful and dignified” demeanor!

“Tingting, although she’s young, is now a business elite at her company, bringing in countless orders every month!”

“Really?!” Unexpectedly, a girl like Lin Mengting, who should be pampered and kept like a delicate bird in a golden cage, had such abilities!

Seeing the astonishment, confusion, understanding, and realization in the man’s eyes, Xu Meili lowered her eyes slightly, hiding her malicious calculations, and said seemingly casually, “Being a salesperson is tough. Up before the rooster, to bed later than the dog! Unfortunately, even with such diligence, some people never get the chance to climb up. Yet, others, for some unknown reason, can always seize every opportunity to rise.”

Her words were subtle but clear.

A man who had been in the business world for decades, knowing the dirty underbelly behind the façade of prosperity, understood perfectly.

“Indeed.”

How many young, beautiful female salespeople actually get orders on their own merit?

It’s either selling their bodies or their looks!

As for the third option?

Ha!

Neither the man nor Xu Meili considered it.
