Qiao Luo didn't notice Lin Mei's look. She realized that Lin Mei hadn't assigned her any work today. It was strange, considering that Lin Mei had treated her like a beast of burden yesterday, but today she had suddenly given her a day off.

If it were any other boss, Qiao Luo would see it as a perk, but with Lin Mei, she definitely wouldn't.

Just as Qiao Luo was feeling puzzled, Lin Mei came out of the office.

"Everyone, please stop what you're doing and listen to me for a moment. Our department's new project is the most important task at the end of the year, so please cooperate and strive to complete the task before the end of the year."

This was Lin Mei's daily routine at work, and Qiao Luo didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, at the end, Lin Mei suddenly spoke again.

"I heard that some people have found a powerful backer. However, I would like to give you a piece of advice: even if you have a powerful backer, don't be too arrogant. I, Lin Mei, am not someone to be trifled with."

With that, she turned and left.

Everyone was left looking at each other.

"Luo Luo, who do you think the old witch was talking about?"

After Lin Mei left, Bai Ge came over and asked.

Qiao Luo shrugged. "I don't know."

"I think she must be talking about the new interns. After all, we've been working under her for a year. If we had powerful connections, we would have rebelled long ago. Who would want to put up with her humiliation?"

Qiao Luo thought Bai Ge's words made sense. However, she found Lin Mei's words strange. Why was she staring at her so intently, as if she were the one with powerful connections?

……

"Mr. Lu, the matter you instructed me to handle has been completed."

In the office, Han Jian was reporting to Lu Tingnian.

He had a friend who happened to know a high-ranking official at the magazine. After Lu Tingnian mentioned it yesterday, he quickly contacted him, and this morning his friend gave him a confirmation that the matter had been settled.

Presumably, Miss Qiao will no longer be targeted.

Lu Tingnian naturally believed in Han Jian's abilities, so he didn't pay too much attention to the matter. Around noon, Qiao Luo called to tell him that she had a last-minute appointment and couldn't come back to have lunch with him.

Lu Tingnian didn't mind, since he also had a lunch appointment at noon and was wondering whether to cancel it for Qiao Luo's sake.

After hanging up the phone, he told Han Jian to prepare the car and go out.

Qiao Luo was dragged out for a drive by her best friend Fang Yan at noon.

When she came out to move her car in the morning, Fang Yan bumped into her. When Fang Yan learned that she had bought a car, she insisted on taking her for a drive.

Qiao Luo couldn't resist Fang Yan's enthusiasm, so she had no choice but to agree.

After she drove Fang Yan around the city's main roads for a while, Fang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"Your car is pretty good, high performance, comfortable. By the way, where did you find this treasure? And this brand... I've never seen it before."

Fang Yan voiced her question.

Qiao Luo then recounted the entire process of buying the car.

Fang Yan was very surprised to hear this. "You actually happened to be lucky enough to have such a good thing happen to you, Luo Luo. You are incredibly lucky."

Qiao Luo also felt that she was quite lucky, after all, she was able to encounter such a windfall, but she knew even more that it was all thanks to Lu Tingnian.

If it weren't for Lu Tingnian, Han Jian would never have helped her.

Ultimately, it's all thanks to Lu Tingnian.

So she said to Fang Yan, "It's all thanks to my husband."

"Really? It seems your husband has quite a wide network of connections," Fang Yan exclaimed.

Qiao Luo didn't know how extensive Lu Tingnian's network was, but she knew that Han Jian had a wide network, knowing not only furniture sellers but also car manufacturers.

Lu Tingnian is incredibly fortunate to have such a friend.

However, on the other side at that very moment, Han Jian was sneezing wildly.

Is anyone talking about him?

Qiao Luo and Fang Yan got out of the car chatting and laughing. Just as they were about to return to the magazine office, they bumped into Gu Qiyan, who was waiting there, at the entrance.
