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

Chapter 230 We share both glory and loss

Qiao Luo nodded.

"Therefore, I strongly suspect this is a targeted trap."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a sneer from Lin Mei.

"Qiao Luo, you're just making excuses for yourself."

Hearing her say that, Qiao Luo looked over, her gaze sharp.

"Editor Lin, why do you always slander me with baseless accusations?"

"How did I slander you?" Lin Mei scoffed. "I was raising a reasonable objection."

"Where is your justification?" Qiao Luo retorted.

"I……"

"Alright, Lin Mei, don't speak yet, let Qiao Luo finish speaking."

Lin Mei was about to retort when she was interrupted by Editor-in-Chief Tang, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Qiao Luo, please continue."

Editor-in-Chief Tang said.

Qiao Luo then voiced her doubts.

"Editor-in-Chief Tang, I think this was a deliberate scheme."

"Deliberately planned?"

"That's right. Moreover, the planners not only wanted to attack TL Company, but also to drag our magazine down with them. And so far, they have succeeded. The online public opinion is very unfavorable to our magazine. It can be said that our magazine's reputation is now tied to TL Company's position in the industry. It's a case of 'if we rise, we rise; if we fall, we fall.' If we cannot prove TL Company's position in the industry this time, our magazine will also lose its influence in the public eye, which will be a very serious problem."

After listening to Qiao Luo's analysis, Editor-in-Chief Tang broke out in a cold sweat.

After all, the magazine's reputation is a big issue, not just a matter of having its exclusive rights stolen.

"So, in your opinion, what should be done about this?"

Editor-in-Chief Tang consulted Qiao Luo for her opinion.

Qiao Luo thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this matter is complicated in some ways, but simple in others."

"How do you say this?"

Editor-in-Chief Tang pressed for details.

Qiao Luo didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced in Lin Mei's direction.

Editor-in-Chief Tang understood and then said to Lin Mei, "Lin Mei, please go out for a moment. I have something to discuss with Qiao Luo."

Although Lin Mei was extremely unwilling, she still got up and left. As she passed by Qiao Luo, she glared at her hatefully.

"Alright, Qiao Luo, you can speak now."

After Lin Mei left, Editor-in-Chief Tang spoke up to remind her.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo nodded and said, "To put it bluntly, this matter boils down to a single word from TL Company. After all, no matter how heated the discussions are outside, they are all just speculation and don't prove anything. At this moment, a single word from TL Company can shatter all the online public opinion. However, this is also the most difficult part. After all, nobody knows what TL Company is really like right now. What if it's already completely defeated, just like that article analyzed? That would be difficult to handle."

Editor-in-Chief Tang thought it made a lot of sense.

"Can you get in touch with the person in charge of TL Group?"

Qiao Luo: "I don't know yet, but I can give it a try."

"Alright then, you try to contact the person in charge of TL Group first, and then we'll figure out a solution," Editor-in-Chief Tang instructed.

Qiao Luo nodded.

She then called Tan Ming, but unfortunately, Tan Ming's phone remained unanswered.

So she called Han Jian again, since she was definitely not as familiar with Tan Ming as Han Jian was.

When Han Jian received the call from Qiao Luo, he was in his office reporting on the online public opinion situation to Lu Tingnian.

"President Lu, the online public opinion is currently very unfavorable to our company. If we let it continue like this, it will affect the company's stock price."

Lu Tingnian sat at his desk. After listening to Han Jian's report, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a while before saying, "First, find out who instructed this manuscript. Find the source before deciding how to proceed."

Han Jian nodded: "Should we intervene in the online public opinion?"

Lu Tingnian said, "No need for now. Let's figure out the intentions of the people behind this."

Han Jian nodded and turned to leave when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Qiao Luo calling. He turned to Lu Tingnian and said, "Yes, it's Miss Qiao calling."
