Chapter 374 is caught in a vicious cycle.
Qiao Luo had certainly thought about this question, and even questioned the company's motives, but she never wanted to make malicious speculations.
Unless it's already been put on the table.
"Miss Lin must know something, right?"
Qiao Luo did not make her intentions clear.
Lin Mi: "I do know, but I won't tell you."
Lin Mi smiled smugly.
Qiao Luo: "It seems your company really doesn't intend to actively handle this matter. If that's the case, then don't blame us for taking legal action."
After all, there was a cooperation agreement signed when they started working together. Their sudden halt to the work violates the spirit of the contract and can be subject to legal action to hold them accountable.
However, in general, if a problem can be resolved through negotiation, it won't easily escalate to this point.
This is also a helpless move.
Lin Mi seemed to have anticipated her response and showed no panic. Instead, she calmly said, "That's your magazine's prerogative; our company has no say in it. However, I personally advise you: it's best not to be too attention-seeking, or you'll easily get into trouble."
After Lin Mi finished speaking, he left ahead of Qiao Luo.
This turned the tables on Qiao Luo. Should they pursue legal action or continue negotiations?
Qiao Luo doesn't know either, but she sensed a deeper meaning in Lin Mi's words just now.
She must be being targeted.
As for who is targeting her and why, it remains a mystery.
"Honey, when are you getting off work? I'll come pick you up."
Qiao Luo had just stepped out of the coffee shop when she received a call from Lu Tingnian.
She glanced at the time; it was almost time to leave work. The negotiation had failed, and there was no point in going back to the magazine.
It would be better to go home first.
So she sent Lu Tingnian her address.
Not long after, Lu Tingnian arrived by car. After parking his car, he saw Qiao Luo sitting by the flower bed by the roadside. If he hadn't received the address she had given him before, he probably wouldn't have guessed that the person was Qiao Luo.
Because at this moment, she was sitting by the flower bed, her face turned to the side, looking at the flower bed behind her. From his perspective, her expression was dejected, and there was even a hint of indescribable loneliness.
She was nothing like the vibrant person she was in the morning.
Did something happen?
Thinking of this, Lu Tingnian pushed open the door and got out of the car. He slowly walked to her side and, seeing that she still hadn't noticed him, sat down in the seat next to her.
"looking at what?"
A familiar voice reached her ears, and Qiao Luo was stunned for a moment before realizing that Shi Lutingnian had arrived. She turned around and, sure enough, saw him.
"Ants moving house."
At that moment, a group of tiny ants were wriggling in the flower bed. They had a clear division of labor and worked together to carry something hundreds or thousands of times larger than their own bodies.
This is a spirit of teamwork.
They have a strong sense of unity.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian looked in the direction she was looking and indeed saw a group of ants carrying something.
“Look at them, they are so small, yet they dare to challenge things that are thousands or even tens of thousands of times larger than them. I have even heard that they can move even a lion. Tell me, why are they so united?”
"This has to do with the ant's body structure. It is said that ants have a kind of pheromone, and it is this pheromone that enables them to form a great cohesion when facing difficulties."
"is it?"
She didn't understand these things, but she did think about the predicament she was currently facing.
Just now, she received a call from the magazine, informing her that another project she was working on had also been suspended.
And similarly, there was no reason for it.
Then she received a second, a third...
It's like being caught in a vicious cycle.
She didn't know if there would be anything next, but she did know that she was currently experiencing immense pressure and was finding it difficult to breathe.
But you always have to struggle to break free, don't you?
"Let's go."
Thinking this, she got up and walked towards the car.
Lu Tingnian stared at her departing figure and chased after her.
After getting in the car, Qiao Luo kept making phone calls, one after another, from colleagues and superiors to companies she was working with.
It can be calm or intense.
Lu Tingnian sat in the driver's seat next to her, driving quietly.
She didn't hand over a bottle of water until she finished all her phone calls.
Qiao Luo was really thirsty. She had just made a lot of phone calls and had accumulated a lot of emotions.
After receiving the water, she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
It's both refreshing and thirst-quenching, a win-win situation.
Then, he threw the empty bottle into the trash can outside the window in a parabolic arc, hitting it precisely, which could be considered a way of venting his frustration.
While she was doing these things, Lu Tingnian watched quietly without saying a word.
The car stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant.
"get off."
Lu Tingnian reminded him.
Qiao Luo was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and realized that it was the hot pot restaurant she had taken Lu Tingnian to last time, but she remembered that Lu Tingnian did not like to eat hot pot.
"Don't you like it here?" she asked, puzzled.
