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

Chapter 118 Someone is throwing things at their car

Surprisingly, Lin Mei didn't get angry with her this time. However, Qiao Luo knew in her heart that this was her private matter and did not fall within the scope of work, so Lin Mei naturally had no right to blame her.

So she said, "I will handle this."

Seeing that she only said it so casually, Lin Mei was a little dissatisfied and frowned, saying, "You say it nicely, but do you know that your matter has already damaged the reputation of our magazine? Many netizens have left messages on our official Weibo, asking the magazine to deal with you. You can't just brush it off with a simple 'we'll handle it'."

"So what does Editor Lin want me to do?" Qiao Luo asked directly.

Lin Mei: "..."

She was initially happy to see Qiao Luo embroiled in public opinion, but since Qiao Luo was still an employee of the magazine, it wasn't appropriate for her, as her boss, to be too direct in her approval.

However, since she had already asked, there was no need for her to beat around the bush. She simply said, "Given your current condition, it's not suitable for you to continue working at the company. I think it's best if you stop working and go back to rest until this matter is resolved. We'll notify you again once it's over."

Hearing Lin Mei say this, Qiao Luo was not surprised at all. She had actually expected it. After all, a boss like Lin Mei would not protect her subordinates, even if the subordinate was wronged.

Moreover, she was a thorn in his side.

Although Qiao Luo was unwilling, she had no choice but to comply, as she really needed time to deal with this matter.

So she agreed to Lin Mei's request and turned to leave.

After they went outside, Bai Ge came to greet them.

"So? What did the old witch say?" Bai Ge asked in a low voice.

Since she and Bai Ge had such a good relationship, there was no need to hide it from her, so she answered truthfully, "She told me to go back and rest first, and come back after the online controversy has subsided."

"You agreed?" Bai Ge asked in surprise.

Qiao Luo nodded, "Yes, this is also a good time to deal with things online."

She was speaking from the heart.

Bai Ge naturally understood, so she didn't say anything more, only reminding her to call her if anything happened.

Qiao Luo agreed and turned to leave. As soon as she reached the entrance, she saw Han Jian's car parked right at the entrance of the magazine, quite conspicuous. Qiao Luo noticed that many of her colleagues were looking in her direction.

She doesn't like being watched, especially at this time. It's not out of curiosity, but out of prying; they're taking the opportunity to invade her privacy.

Besides, Lu Tingnian was in the car, and she was even more unwilling to let him be implicated by her.

So, without thinking, she quickened her pace and walked over.

Getting in the car was a seamless process, with the door opening and the passengers getting in one smooth motion.

"What? Is someone pursuing you?" Lu Tingnian asked, puzzled, seeing how anxious she was when she got into the car.

Qiao Luo was still catching her breath when she heard him ask that, and quickly shook her head, "No."

"Then why are you running?"

"It's just... I was afraid you'd be getting impatient waiting." She stammered.

Lu Tingnian frowned, but did not press the matter further. Instead, he changed the subject and asked her, "Did your boss give you a hard time just now?"

Qiao Luo shook her head. "No, it's just that I've suspended my work."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been waiting anxiously outside and was wondering whether he should go in and check on things.

However, Lu Tingnian was not surprised by this, and he also believed that it was not suitable for her to come to work in the near future, at least until the public opinion calmed down, because it was too dangerous and those people were very likely to come here to cause trouble.

"Taking a break from work is good, it'll give me a chance to rest. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? What would you like to eat?"

Lu Tingnian remembered to ask.

Qiao Luo shook her head. "I have no appetite."

"Even if we don't have an appetite, we still have to eat something. I know there's a good restaurant up ahead, let's go there now."

As he was about to instruct Han Jian to drive, suddenly, with a bang, something hit the car window. Although the sound wasn't loud, one could clearly feel a sticky yellow liquid flowing down the window.

Someone was throwing things at their car.
