The vicious female supporting role becomes the female lead

When Bo Zhengting came in and saw Chu Qiao there, he asked his special assistant to bring the dishes there without hesitation, and walked towards Chu Qiao without stopping for a moment.

As soon as Bo Zhengting's eyes fell on Chu Qiao, a subtle smile appeared on his face. His steps were firm and quick, clearly pleased with this chance encounter. Chu Qiao noticed his arrival, and a flicker of happiness flashed in her eyes, but it quickly gave way to a polite smile.

"Qiao Qiao, what a coincidence to meet you here." There was a hint of joy in Bo Zhengting's voice, and his attitude was natural and polite.

Chu Qiao stood up and responded with a smile: "Zheng Ting, you are also coming to the company cafeteria for dinner. It is indeed a coincidence. How about we go together?"

Bo Zhengting replied: "Okay." After that, the special assistant prepared the food and was on the way here.

Chu Qiao smiled slightly, welcoming him: "Zhengting, please take a seat."

The special assistant quickly and professionally arranged the dishes, then quietly stepped aside. Bo Zhengting sat across from Chu Qiao, his eyes switching between the dishes and her, as if searching for a suitable topic.

"These are some of my favorite dishes. I hope you like them." Bo Zhengting pointed at the dishes on the table, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

Chu Qiao looked at the delicious food on the table, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "It looks great, thank you, Zheng Ting."

The two began to eat, and Bo Zhengting chatted with Chu Qiao from time to time, asking about her work progress and her views on the company. Chu Qiao answered seriously, her answers were both professional and insightful, which made Bo Zhengting even more impressed with her.

During the meal, Bo Zhengting shared some of his experiences and insights into the industry, which Chu Qiao listened to with great interest, believing it was a rare learning opportunity. The conversation flowed smoothly and constructively, and time flew by unnoticed.

As the meal came to an end, Bo Zhengting glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late. He stood up and said to Chu Qiao, "Qiao Qiao, it was a pleasure having lunch with you today. I hope we can have more opportunities to communicate in the future."

Chu Qiao also stood up and responded with a smile: "Me too, Zhengting, today's lunch has benefited me a lot."

Bo Zhengting nodded, then left with his special assistant. Chu Qiao watched him leave, feeling satisfied with this unexpected lunch.

She knew this wasn't just a meal; it was an opportunity to connect and get to know Bo Zhengting. She believed that through such interactions, she would be able to better woo Bo Zhengting while also paving the way for her own career. Chu Qiao cleared the table, her heart filled with anticipation and plans for the future.

Chu Qiao walked slowly back to her somewhat deserted office with steady steps. She frowned slightly and thought secretly about the arrangements for today.

At this moment, the system book spirit suddenly appeared before her eyes as if out of thin air. Its eyes, which shone with a strange light, revealed a hint of seriousness. It said softly, "Employer, there is a task."

The voice echoed throughout the office like an ethereal sound, causing Chu Qiao's heart to tremble slightly. She stopped and stared quietly at the existence in front of her that had appeared out of nowhere. A trace of doubt and curiosity flashed in her eyes, and her mind quickly began to think about what kind of challenges and opportunities this so-called "mission" would bring.

Chu Qiao took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. She knew that the appearance of a system book spirit often meant something unusual was about to happen. Her gaze was fixed on the book spirit's strange eyes, waiting for more information.

"Please tell me, what are the specific contents of the mission?" Chu Qiao's voice was calm and firm. She was ready to face any challenge.

The system's spirit nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Chu Qiao's reaction. It slowly unfolded a book emitting a faint glow, and the pages fluttered gently in the invisible wind until they stopped at a certain page.

On that page, the golden words seemed to come alive, jumping to form lines of clear task descriptions.

"Employer, the mission you are about to undertake is to find the lost Star Stone." The system book spirit's voice sounded again, this time with a subtle sense of urgency. "The Star Stone is the key to maintaining the balance of the world. It mysteriously disappeared not long ago. If it is not recovered in time, the world in the book will face a great disaster."

Chu Qiao's brow furrowed slightly. She could sense the importance and urgency of this mission. "What do I need to do?" she asked, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

A glint flickered in the system spirit's eyes. It extended a finger and pointed to a coordinate on the page. "The Star Stone was last detected here. You must travel to this location, unlock the secret that protects the Star Stone, and bring it back safely."

Chu Qiao nodded. She knew this would be a journey filled with unknowns and dangers, but she also knew it was her responsibility. She looked up at the system spirit, her eyes filled with determination. "I will do my best to complete the mission and protect this world."

A flicker of admiration flashed in the system's eyes, and its voice became gentler. "Employer, your courage and determination are admirable. Remember, you are not alone, and I will be there to help you whenever you need it."

Chu Qiao smiled faintly. She knew it would be a tough battle, but she was ready. She turned and left the office with a determined stride, embarking on her journey to find the Star Stone. Behind her, the system book spirit quietly vanished into thin air, awaiting its next summons.

Outside Chu Qiao's office, a bustling corridor teemed with activity. The hurried footsteps of her colleagues, like the rhythm of a hurried yet orderly symphony, each step carrying them toward their respective tasks and goals. And the relentless ringing of the telephone, like the crisp notes interspersed within this symphony, one after another, continuously relayed various messages and instructions.

These sounds intertwined with each other, like a vivid painting, forming a unique background music for daily work. However, at this moment, Chu Qiao's heart was only occupied by the unreachable coordinates and the long-lost star stone.

She pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes revealed a firm and resolute look, as if she had made some important decision.

She walked through the crowded crowd without hesitation, each step she took was so steady and powerful, as if there was endless strength supporting her to move forward.

Her eyes sparkled with a light as bright as stars, and that light contained deep determination and indomitable courage.

When she finally returned to her desk, her movements were exceptionally smooth.

She quickly packed up some necessities. A notebook lay there quietly, like a loyal companion for Chu Qiao to record her inspirations and ideas; a pen was tightly held in her hand, ready to leave her mark on the blank paper at any time; a multi-functional tool knife, seemingly ordinary, but could play an unexpected role at the critical moment; and some dry food, although simple, could provide her with the necessary energy during the journey.

In addition, she also deliberately stuffed a book about ancient civilizations and semiotics into her backpack.

Her intuition told her that this unknown journey might bring her many puzzles and challenges related to ancient civilizations, and this knowledge would be the key to unlocking the mysteries. She gripped the shoulder straps of her backpack tightly, feeling the heavy weight, and an inexplicable sense of security welled up in her heart.

Before slowly turning around and preparing to leave, Chu Qiao, who always exudes determination and courage, gently took out a piece of exquisite note paper from her pocket. The pen in her hand seemed to have life, dancing smoothly and quickly on the paper. After a while, she left behind lines of clear and powerful handwriting.

She carefully placed the note on the desk of her most trusted colleague. The note used concise and clear words to briefly but to the point explain her general destination this time. She knew that things in the world are unpredictable, and it is always good to make more preparations in case of any unexpected situations.

At the same time, she picked up her mobile phone, and her slender fingers slid across the screen skillfully. She quickly found Bo Zhengting's contact information and pressed the send button without hesitation. A message flew into the distance like a light butterfly.

The content of the message was simple and direct, just telling Bo Zhengting that he had recently felt a strong desire from deep within his heart and wanted to go out for a walk to relax his tired body and mind, so please give him a few days off.

Then she skillfully picked up the phone, slid her fingers across the screen, and quickly opened the communication app.

Then, she carefully composed a short message, her words revealing her deep love and care for her parents. She wrote, "Dear Mom and Dad, please don't worry too much about me. I really just want to relax, go out and see the world, and feel happy and relaxed. I'll take good care of myself, so don't worry. I'll tell you all about my fun journey when I get back."

After sending this message, she seemed to have put down a big stone in her heart, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face, as if she had seen the relieved expressions of her parents.

She understood that this mission was unusual and might take quite some time, and that there might be countless unknowns and challenges hidden within it, but she was fully prepared to face it all.

She believes that no matter what awaits her ahead, she can calmly deal with and overcome it with her wisdom and courage.
