Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 179 She has her own principles

Qiao Luo finally couldn't hold back any longer. She cupped Lu Tingnian's cheeks and said, "Where else do you want me to kiss? Tell me all at once."

Lu Tingnian looked aggrieved, "I was afraid you wouldn't agree."

Qiao Luo immediately understood what he meant, blushed, and glared at him reproachfully.

Lu Tingnian smiled and said, "Alright, I was just kidding. It's getting late, go to work."

Qiao Luo then remembered that she had to go to work. She let go of Lu Tingnian, but before leaving, she still kissed him on the lips.

When they arrived at the magazine office, Qiao Luo handed Lin Mei her thoughts on the party. Lin Mei read it but didn't say anything, only asking Qiao Luo what she had learned from the party the night before. Qiao Luo told her the truth.

Lin Mei scoffed, "Qiao Luo, didn't you swear you'd take on this mission? How come you're only good at this?"

Lin Mei's mocking voice was met with Qiao Luo's retort, "Editor Lin, it seems this isn't my fault. No one says that going to a party guarantees something."

Lin Mei couldn't accept Qiao Luo's statement. She said, "What do you think the company invites you to the party for? Just for fun? Or to meet powerful people?"

"Editor Lin, what do you mean? How do you know we went there to have fun and to meet powerful people? Do you even know how much work we did at the party?"

she demanded.

Lin Mei: "I don't know, all I know is that you failed."

"That's right, we did fail last night, but the truth is that the information provided by the agency was wrong. That company didn't send anyone to participate at all, and the people who attended the party can testify to that."

"Really? But I don't care about those things, I only care about the results."

It means she doesn't care about the process.

Qiao Luo disagreed with this statement, she said,

"Editor Lin, I cannot agree with your results-oriented approach. If everyone only focuses on the results and ignores the process, then inevitably some people will resort to any means necessary. Editor Lin, do you want to see someone damage the magazine's reputation for this reason?"

This is probably why Lin Mi resorted to any means necessary back then.

Lin Mei sneered, "Only incompetent people keep looking for excuses and reasons for their failures. Capable people will try every means to achieve their goals. Qiao Luo, don't make excuses for your incompetence. It will only make you look more useless."

Lin Mei was belittling her without any politeness.

Qiao Luo refused to accept such malicious denigration, and she retorted to Lin Mei once again,

"Perhaps you think that's just an excuse I'm making, but I still have my own principles. Even if you say I'm useless, I will never resort to any means necessary, never."

She will never become someone like Lin Mi.

"I hope you can hold on."

As she left, Lin Mei mocked her from behind.

Qiao Luo ignored her and returned to her seat.

"Well? Did the old witch say anything?"

At this moment, Bai Ge asked.

Qiao Luo asked, "Didn't you say anything?" She didn't want Bai Ge to know about the things that belittled them.

Bai Ge naturally didn't believe it, but since Qiao Luo didn't say anything, she didn't press for details. She simply asked, "So what do you plan to do next?"

To be honest, Qiao Luo hadn't figured out this problem either, since she knew nothing about TL Company's situation and it would be really difficult to proceed.

Now she can only pin her hopes on Han Jian.

She didn't know when Han Jian would reply to her.

So she replied to Bai Ge, "Let's wait and see."

……

Han Jian temporarily forgot about the matter. He had been busy with Lu Tingnian all morning, and only remembered it when it was almost time to leave work. He then hurriedly reported the matter to Lu Tingnian.

Lu Tingnian was quite surprised after hearing this, "What did she tell you?"

Han Jian nodded, "Miss Qiao also said that her magazine has a project they want to collaborate on with our company, so..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian remained silent, something he hadn't expected. After all, there were so many tech companies in the industry. However, he quickly recalled that Qiao Luo had collected some information about their company last time, and it seemed that she was preparing for a collaboration.

So he said, "Since that's the case, then you can help with the introduction."

"But……"
