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

Hearing her ask this, Bai Ge whispered, "Last night, the old witch went ballistic in the group chat. Everyone knew she was in a bad mood, so no one dared to cross her. That's why we all came so early. How come you didn't see it?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo quickly checked the WeChat group and found that it was exactly the same as what Bai Ge had said.

She went to bed early last night and didn't notice the messages in the group chat, so it seems she stumbled upon them by accident this morning.

However, no matter how she looked at it, she still couldn't figure out what Lin Mei was raging about.

So he asked in confusion, "What exactly is going on?"

Bai Ge replied, "It's because that project ran into a wall."

"Met a wall?"

Qiao Luo was full of doubts, after all, it had been going on in full swing just a few days ago.

Bai Ge replied, "You don't know, although this project is good, there are quite a few magazines eyeing it. With Lin Mei's kind of boldness, do you think she can avoid obstacles?"

Qiao Luo understood Bai Ge's meaning. There has always been a shortage of employees in the magazine industry, and the rise of self-media in recent years has led to the decline of print media. Although their magazine had sensed the trend and transformed itself early on, it was still inevitably affected.

Naturally, people flock to such promising projects as soon as there's any word about them.

Qiao Luo just didn't expect Lin Mei to run into a wall so quickly, after all, Lin Mei was quite resourceful in her work.

"Also, Lin Mi has been rejected a lot these past few days. I heard she tried a lot of tricks to break into the tech world, but to no avail. Just now, the old witch gave her a good scolding for the first time ever. And that's her own niece! It looks like we're in for a tough time."

Bai Ge expressed his inner worries.

Qiao Luo understood this principle, but she was more worried about the project than Bai Ge. After all, they were in the same department, and their interests were intertwined.

If this project really falls through, it will be a loss for them as well.

But if even Lin Mei couldn't handle it, what could she possibly do?

Thinking of this, Qiao Luo felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Near lunchtime, she tried calling Qiao Yuanzhe, but the line was busy and no one answered. Thinking he might still be angry, she sent him a WeChat message instead.

"Yuanzhe, I apologize for what happened yesterday. It was my fault for doubting you so easily. Please give me a chance to make amends."

After the WeChat message was sent, it disappeared without a trace, and there was no further response.

Qiao Luo couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although Lu Tingnian had comforted her last night, she was still worried.

She worried that if Qiao Yuanzhe stopped talking to her, she would truly have no family left in the world.

Just as Qiao Luo was feeling sad and upset about this, Lu Tingnian called and invited her to have lunch together.

Qiao Luo was feeling a little down, so she agreed.

At lunchtime, she saw Lu Tingnian at a nearby restaurant. He was still dressed in his usual suit and tie, which made Qiao Luo think of a question.

It seems that his attire has always been like this, whether at home or outside, he probably only changes into comfortable loungewear when taking a shower or going to bed.

But he doesn't go to work, so why does he always dress like this? Is it because he likes it or is there another reason?

Qiao Luo had no idea. She couldn't help but think of the video she had seen at Gu Qiyan's place before. In the video, he seemed to be dressed like this, and together with Han Jian, they entered the building openly and without any hindrance.
