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

Chapter 297 My husband is a well-known unemployed and penniless man, are you?

Qiao Luo: "Do you think I care about your apology? You still don't repent. You disregard the magazine's reputation for your own selfish desires and don't even abide by basic professional ethics. Do you think I will tolerate someone as selfish as you?"

Qiao Luo's questions were all insightful, and Lin Mei was defeated, but she was still unwilling to admit it.

"What can you do to me? Don't you know your place? How dare you talk such big? Our proper magazine leaders are sitting right over there."

As Lin Mei spoke, she looked towards President Hu's direction below the stage.

It was as if Mr. Hu would always stand up for her.

But the truth is, when she looked at Mr. Hu, he disappeared.

Lin Mei had been expecting President Hu to back her up, but she never expected him to become a coward at such a crucial moment.

Lin Mei was speechless with anger.

At this moment, Lu Tingnian said, "If she's not qualified, then what about me? Am I not qualified either?"

Lu Tingnian's gaze was sharp.

"You?" Lin Mei was somewhat intimidated. She wasn't afraid of arguing with Qiao Luo at all, and could even exude a powerful aura, but suddenly facing Lu Tingnian, she felt a little guilty.

"You...aren't...from our magazine."

Lin Mei stammered.

Lu Tingnian said, "I am indeed not from your magazine, but your actions today have damaged my company's interests. Based on this alone, I can hold you accountable."

Lu Tingnian was telling the truth. Indeed, Lin Mei's behavior today has damaged TL Company's image. If TL Company wants to hold her accountable, she will definitely not be able to escape.

Lin Mei was well aware of the consequences.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

This time, she dared not be so arrogant.

Lu Tingnian: "You'll have to ask my wife."

Hearing this, Lin Mei had no choice but to shift her gaze to Qiao Luo. "What do you want me to do?"

Qiao Luo snorted: "Don't ask me about that. You should ask all the staff of the awards ceremony who were affected by you, as well as all the award winners who haven't received their awards yet, including all the guests here. This was supposed to be a lively industry event, but you ruined it."

As soon as Qiao Luo finished speaking, she received agreement from the audience.

"That's right, you've wasted all our hard work. How are we going to settle this score?"

"Exactly, exactly. You're making us come all this way for nothing. Our time is very precious. Can you afford to waste it?"

People in the audience kept standing up to voice their accusations.

Lin Mei was a little scared.

"So... what do you want from me?"

"Apologize and compensate us for our losses."

Someone spoke.

"Losses? What have you lost besides wasting a little time?"

Lin Mei disagreed.

"Who says we only wasted a little time? We also wasted manpower, resources, and advertising sponsorships."

"That's right, that's right, apologize and compensate us quickly."

There were all sorts of reasons being given at the scene, it was chaotic, and everyone was demanding compensation from Lin Mei.

With so much talk about compensation, Lin Mei's head was spinning.

"Enough!" she yelled, covering her ears, but no one listened to her.

Finally, Lin Mei could no longer bear it and stepped forward to say to Qiao Luo,

"Qiao Luo, you're so vicious! Are you really going to incite them to go against me like this?"

Lin Mei gritted her teeth and glared at her intently.

Qiao Luo didn't back down at all, and frowned, saying, "You know how terrible it is to stir up people's emotions. Didn't you treat me the same way before?"

Are you getting revenge on me?

"Is this all the revenge you deserve? The real revenge is yet to come."

As soon as Qiao Luo finished speaking, several uniformed police officers entered from outside, walked straight up to Lin Mei, and asked:

"You are Lin Mei?"

Lin Mei didn't know what had happened, and when she saw the police officers, her legs went weak with fear.

"I am."

"You have just been reported for multiple crimes, including illegally stealing personal information, illegally appropriating company funds, and illegal bribery. We are now arresting you in accordance with the law. Please cooperate with our work."

The police officers then handcuffed Lin Mei.

Lin Mei was both flustered and confused at this moment.

"Officer, you must have made a mistake. I've been framed."

"Whether you're innocent or not, we'll talk about it at the police station."

With that, he took her away.

After Lin Mei was taken away, the people at the scene gradually dispersed, and Qiao Luo was no exception. Although she had doubts about Lin Mei being taken away, she did not linger any longer.

"Honey, wait for me."

After leaving the commendation ceremony, Qiao Luo didn't say a word. Lu Tingnian followed beside her, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Hearing the word "wife," Qiao Luo felt only irony.

He kept calling her his wife, but everything he did was fake.

"Am I your wife? Who are you?" Qiao Luo retorted.

Lu Tingnian: "Of course I'm your husband."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo scoffed, "Husband? My husband is an unemployed, penniless man. Are you?"

She stumped Lu Tingnian with just one question.
