In the office of the publicity department, soft, warm light filtered through like golden gauze, gently spilling over the desk. Qiu You'er propped her chin with one hand, her gaze fixed on Bai Tao, her mind full of questions. Bai Tao leisurely sipped from an exquisite teacup, exuding an air of laziness and offering no sign of urgency to get to work. After the meeting, Luo He had specifically asked for Bai Tao to submit a complete plan as soon as possible. Could it be that she was too immersed in the pink bubble of being favored by the big CEO, Luo, to forget about the important tasks?
Qiu You'er couldn't hold back anymore. She approached and softly reminded her, "Master, aren't you going to start preparing the plan?"
"Prepare what plan?" Bai Tao blinked, responding naturally, as Qiu You'er had been calling her "Master" recently. "The complete plan that President Luo is waiting for! He's been eagerly waiting."
Only then did Bai Tao snap out of it. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she began to inwardly question the situation. The plan provided by the system was ridiculously simple, with only a donation item and nothing else. With just this plan, no matter how hard she tried to prettify it, what else could she possibly come up with? Though she felt anxious inside, Bai Tao still kept her composure on the outside, a mocking smile curling at the corners of her lips. "Just because he's waiting, does that mean I have to give it to him?"
Her words landed like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the office instantly fell silent. Her colleagues, who had previously pretended to be busy, were all now listening intently. Upon hearing Bai Tao's words, their hearts sank. No wonder she had successfully captured President Luo's heart—she was indeed as bold as they came!
Qiu You'er, who had just gone to make tea, hadn't heard Bai Tao claim to be Luo He's girlfriend and was still somewhat unsure about their relationship. "Master, this was personally instructed by President Luo... isn't it a bit much to not hand in the plan on time?"
"What instruction? He gave you all instructions, but to me, it's not even an order," Bai Tao said, lifting her chin in disdain.
"Friend, listen!" Bai Tao patted Qiu You'er's shoulder seriously. "We must stand tall in this world, understand? Don't spoil men, especially men like Luo He."
The moment Bai Tao spoke those words, Qiu You'er's eyes widened in shock. Her heart raced as though a rabbit was hopping in her chest. Bai Tao had actually referred to President Luo by name and even said not to spoil him! For Qiu You'er, this was almost sacrilegious.
"Look at his cold, aloof demeanor, that high-and-mighty attitude. Do you know how it was formed? It's all because of people like you who spoil them! What so-called 'male gods' or 'CEO types'... there are no gods in this world, where do these so-called male gods come from? It's all because of simps, that's how they develop these bad habits. Just because a man has some looks, he starts thinking he's untouchable. Am I that kind of person? If you want to order me around, forget it!"
Qiu You'er trembled with excitement, her body shaking slightly. It was incredible! Bai Tao actually dared to openly mock Luo He. She admired her from the bottom of her heart. To Qiu You'er, Bai Tao's words seemed like boasting. After all, women often talk like this when they hang out with friends and the husbands aren't around, saying they make the house a kingdom of their own. But even knowing Bai Tao might be exaggerating, Qiu You'er couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe. After all, she could only joke about her own husband, but Bai Tao was directly confronting Luo He—this was on a whole different level!
The rest of the office colleagues knew that Bai Tao was the granddaughter of the Bai family, and they assumed that privately, Bai Tao was domineering, with Luo He being the warm, considerate one. While this was a bit of a cognitive dissonance, they figured that maybe that was actually the truth.
Bai Tao spoke with such freedom and confidence, while the others were left feeling disoriented. Bai Tao herself felt quite pleased after her rant. It was a real relief to criticize Luo He like that. Of course, she wasn't just speaking out of nowhere—she had already planned it all in her mind. During her time at Enchant Beauty, she had become the center of attention, but at the same time, she had been constantly harassed by Luo He. She couldn't stand it anymore and was thinking of quitting.
Though quitting was an option, Luo He was no easy opponent. If she resigned voluntarily, he would definitely come up with various ways to keep her, maybe even threaten her. After thinking for a while, Bai Tao decided to play the game. Like now, she knew everyone had heard her words. This kind of information would surely spread through the company. In the end, the only secrets that stay buried are the ones that are kept completely silent. As long as one person hears it, the whole company will know sooner or later. Once Luo He realizes that everyone thinks he's completely under her control, he would definitely explode in rage, and by then, there was no way he would let her off the hook. He'd probably make her pack up and leave!
The more she thought about it, the more pleased she felt, taking a deep breath as if she could already smell the fresh air of freedom.
Just then, "Ding-ling-ling…" The office phone rang. Bai Tao looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an internal company call. A bad feeling surged in her chest.
"Friend!" Bai Tao raised her chin in Qiu You'er's direction. Qiu You'er nodded and immediately picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Bai Tao, this is Luo He's assistant, Ji Ziheng. President Luo wants to see you."
"Uh... Hello, Assistant Ji, I'm Qiu You'er, Bai Tao's disciple. I'll pass on the message immediately."
