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

Chapter 270 One Mountain Cannot Hold Two Tigers

When his legs were injured, Qiao Luo would do it for him. Now that his legs are healed, he naturally does it himself.

When Qiao Luo got up, she found that Lu Tingnian was not there. She thought he had gone to do his morning exercise. But when she finished washing up and went out, she realized that Lu Tingnian had gone to make breakfast.

Qiao Luo was quite surprised to see Lu Tingnian busy in the kitchen.

After all, she was the one who was busy in the kitchen before, and she was still a little unaccustomed to Lu Tingnian taking over.

However, his technique was quite skillful, and he clearly cooks often.

It's quite rare, considering he's so handsome, gentle, and considerate. If he also has excellent cooking skills, he'd be a rare breed among men.

How did she end up with such a great man?

Qiao Luo suddenly felt a sense of unreality and couldn't help but think of a saying.

That is: good men are all trained by other women.

So, is Lu Tingnian like that too?

As she was thinking, Lu Tingnian suddenly turned around and met her gaze. Meeting her somewhat dazed look, he chuckled and stepped forward.

"What are you staring at like an idiot for?"

Qiao Luo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, after all, what she was thinking was something that couldn't be made public.

"Nothing, what are you making for breakfast?"

She mustered her thoughts and stepped forward.

Lu Tingnian replied mysteriously, "You'll find out in a moment."

Before long, two bowls of steaming hot seafood porridge were ready.

Lu Tingnian served Qiao Luo a bowl of food, handed her some utensils, and watched her take a bite before asking somewhat nervously, "How does it taste?"

Qiao Luo didn't answer immediately, but ate several more bites before finally stopping.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Qiao Luo couldn't help but praise it, saying it was much better than her cooking skills.

She even felt that Lu Tingnian's previous praise of her was insincere.

Hearing her answer, Lu Tingnian was finally relieved. He had been worried that the food he made wouldn't suit her taste.

"If it tastes good, then eat some."

After Qiao Luo finished her bowl, Lu Tingnian quickly served her another bowl.

Seeing this, Qiao Luo quickly stopped her, saying, "No, I'm going to be late."

As she spoke, she hurriedly got up.

Lu Tingnian watched her figure, but shook his head helplessly.

Qiao Luo arrived at the magazine office right on time.

If she told others that she was late because her husband's breakfast was so delicious, her colleagues would probably laugh their heads off.

Fortunately, her former colleagues have now become her subordinates, and they are all eagerly awaiting her services.

Qiao Luo naturally understood. After all, they had all suffered greatly during the days when Lin Mei took control of the situation. Now that she had finally turned the tables, she naturally wanted to work for everyone's benefit.

So she immediately assigned the tasks she had to others.

As soon as she returned to her office, Lin Mei knocked and came in. Since the two were now in a superior-subordinate relationship, she was no longer as arrogant as before when she saw Qiao Luo. However, her sarcastic and sarcastic speaking style remained unchanged.

"Qiao Luo, you don't think you can do whatever you want now that you've been promoted. Do you know that I've already promised those business tasks that you just assigned to someone else?"

Lin Mei questioned him as soon as she entered the office.

Qiao Luo frowned. "Editor Lin, what are you saying? As long as the work hasn't been assigned, it's reasonable to assign it to anyone. There's no such thing as making a promise in advance."

"Really?" Lin Mei was somewhat unconvinced. After all, she had always been the one in charge before, and she could give things to whomever she wanted. But now Qiao Luo was suddenly on equal footing with her.

As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," how could she allow Qiao Luo to ride on her neck?

"Qiao Luo, even if it doesn't count as me making a promise in advance, you still have to notify me beforehand. Otherwise, how am I supposed to answer if people ask?"

Lin Mei's words are reasonable; rules are nothing more than human sentiment.

In the workplace, things aren't always black and white; there's always a first-come, first-served order.

Qiao Luo naturally understood what Lin Mei was referring to; she was criticizing her for not putting her first in everything.

Actually, she did it on purpose today, since Lin Mei has always had her own selfish motives when assigning tasks.

She always assigned more and better work to her subordinates who flattered her, while assigning less important work to those who didn't like to fawn over her.

She even targeted and retaliated against subordinates who had grudges against her.

She took action in advance precisely because she knew about her work style.

However, Qiao Luo would never admit it, because even if she and Lin Mei didn't get along, she still had to maintain a certain facade.

So she said, "Editor Lin, I understand what you care about. It's my fault for not thinking things through since I'm new to this position. But don't worry, I'll be more careful in the future."

Since she had already said so much, Lin Mei naturally couldn't say anything more.

However, given her personality, it's impossible for her to suffer such a setback.
