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

Chapter 142 posed a threat

Moreover, she had always wanted to promote her own niece, Lin Mi, but Qiao Luo suddenly appeared out of nowhere and even attracted the attention of her superiors.

In addition, Lin Mi has been making a series of mistakes at work recently, so she has to be on guard.

Therefore, she deliberately extended Qiao Luo's suspension period.

Of course, she couldn't let Qiao Luo know this reason.

So she said,

"What you said does exist. However, our magazine always puts people first. You should accept the company's arrangement, go back and rest for two days, and come back to work when you're ready."

Lin Mei's plan was to first prevent Qiao Luo from returning to work. If her boss asked, she would say that Qiao Luo had applied for the job herself. This way, she would give her boss the impression that Qiao Luo was selfish and unprofessional, and save her the opportunity to make a name for herself in the company. After a few days, when her popularity had died down and her boss's attention had decreased, she would no longer pose a threat to her.

Unfortunately, Qiao Luo wasn't buying it at all.

Even the cleaning lady at the entrance knows that the company is very busy lately and can't just approve leave for anyone. But Lin Mei said that the company is considerate of her and took the initiative to give her leave.

This is unheard of, and given Lin Mei's way of doing things, it would be a blessing if she didn't exploit her; how could she possibly give her a holiday?

However, since Lin Mei has said so, we should still give her face.

So, she verbally agreed to Lin Mei's request, but as soon as she left the office, she went to find Bai Ge.

Since Lin Mei wouldn't let her go to work openly, she decided to do it covertly.

So she asked Bai Ge,

"Bai Ge, is there any work I can help with lately?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ge looked over and asked, "What? Is that old hag not going to arrange work for you again?"

Qiao Luo then told Bai Ge the truth about Lin Mei's suggestion that she take a leave of absence.

Bai Ge was quite surprised to hear this, after all, the company was indeed quite busy right now, and Lin Mei, as a manager, could not be unaware of Qiao Luo's importance at this time.

As for Lin Mei's intentions, Bai Ge couldn't figure them out either.

However, when the topic of work came up, she remembered something and said, "I do have work, but I don't think you should be doing those trivial things with your abilities. I heard that Lin Mi has been trying to curry favor with big shots in the tech industry recently, planning to get an exclusive deal on that project. I think you could give that project a try too."

Before witnessing Qiao Luo's ability to handle unexpected situations, Bai Ge thought they were evenly matched. But now that she has, she genuinely believes that Qiao Luo is a worthy contender.

However, Qiao Luo hesitated upon hearing this.

"This...isn't good."

After all, this project was assigned to Lin Mi by Lin Mei, and if she interfered, she would inevitably be suspected of vying for the project.

Bai Ge, however, said,

“What’s wrong with it? I’m just too busy with work to take it on. If I were in your situation, I would definitely take it on. Besides, this project is a shared resource of our magazine. Why can Lin Mi do it but you can’t? Moreover, given Lin Mi’s abilities, she’ll probably lose it. Rather than letting her lose it and letting another magazine benefit from it, we might as well take it on ourselves.”

Qiao Luo thought Bai Ge's words made a lot of sense.

The phrase "public resources" in the magazine particularly resonated with her.

However, there are rules in the workplace, and she was unwilling to break them easily, so she had to be cautious.

So she said to Bai Ge, "I'll think about it some more."

Bai Ge didn't say anything more after hearing what she said. After all, this matter was risky, and it was right for Qiao Luo to be cautious.

After that, Qiao Luo left the magazine office. She originally wanted to go home, but she received a call from her father, Qiao Dahai, as soon as she stepped out the door.
