Chapter 242 Does Miss Qiao understand her husband?
Chapter 242 Does Miss Qiao understand her husband?
Qiao Luo originally didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Bin. Although Zhou Bin denied it on the phone last time, she still felt that it was related to him, based on her media intuition.
However, considering that this matter was ultimately just her speculation, and even if it was Zhou Bin who made the revelation, she did not complain about his position. After all, he had not charged them any revelation fee or made any promises last time, so it would have been reasonable for him to give it to someone else.
However, the article was clearly pointed out and didn't seem to be written by a media professional in the industry. If the whistleblower was indeed Zhou Bin, then the article was very likely written by him, since he is from the technology industry and happens to have business conflicts with TL Company.
Qiao Luo felt she needed to find out the truth, so she agreed to meet with Zhou Bin.
The meeting place was arranged at a coffee shop near the magazine office. When Qiao Luo arrived, Zhou Bin was already there.
Qiao Luo was quite surprised to see Zhou Bin, since the coffee shop was right downstairs from their magazine office. Zhou Bin had arrived before her, so he must have been nearby when she called earlier.
"Mr. Zhou, were you near our magazine office when you called me?"
Qiao Luo voiced her doubts.
Hearing her ask this, Zhou Bin chuckled and said, "It is indeed nearby. Miss Qiao, would you like something to drink?"
As Zhou Bin spoke, he handed the menu to Qiao Luo.
Qiao Luo politely declined, saying, "No need, Mr. Zhou, please just say what you need to say. I have to go back to work."
Zhou Bin, not wanting to be forced, smiled and said, "Miss Qiao is so dedicated. If I were Miss Qiao's boss, I would be very proud to have such a good employee."
Qiao Luo smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you flatter me."
Zhou Bin: "Let me make this clear first, I'm saying this because I genuinely admire Ms. Qiao. It's not just polite talk. To be honest, with Ms. Qiao's abilities, it's a bit of a waste for her to stay at the magazine. I wonder if Ms. Qiao would be willing to come to our company."
Qiao Luo was surprised that Zhou Bin suddenly brought up this topic.
After all, she never expected Zhou Bin to bring up this kind of topic.
Her first reaction was that Zhou Bin must have been just being polite.
After all, they come from completely different fields.
"Mr. Zhou, are you joking?"
Zhou Bin, "Do I look like it?"
Qiao Luo remained noncommittal.
"So, Mr. Zhou invited me out to poach me from your company?"
Zhou Bin: "It's not so much about digging, it's more like inviting. Given Ms. Qiao's current strength in the industry, inviting would be a more appropriate word."
"Really? But your company is a technology company, which doesn't seem to be related to my job, does it?" Qiao Luo asked back.
Zhou Bin: "Ms. Qiao, although we are a technology company, we also need talents like you in external publicity. If Ms. Qiao is willing to come, we will definitely give her important responsibilities."
Zhou Bin's statement was reasonable, but it held no appeal for Qiao Luo.
After all, media is her profession, and what he said has nothing to do with it.
Moreover, she had no intention of changing jobs at all.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, but I don't want to change jobs right now."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bin chuckled lightly, "Is Miss Qiao so certain? Perhaps Miss Qiao doesn't want to now, but what about in the future? After all, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Zhou Bin smiled meaningfully.
Qiao Luo didn't notice that she was thinking that even if she really wanted to change jobs in the future, she would never consider Zhou Bin's suggestion.
After all, the change in her major was too big, and she still preferred to stay in her familiar field.
So she said, "Let's talk about the future later."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bin said nothing more.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou, may I ask you a question?"
Qiao Luo suddenly asked.
Zhou Bin: "Ms. Qiao, please ask."
Qiao Luo: "Do you know who wrote that article that smeared TL Company last time?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bin laughed and said, "Miss Qiao has asked the wrong person."
Qiao Luo: "I didn't ask the wrong person. I believe Mr. Zhou must have read that article as well. It mentions a lot of professional knowledge and is quite targeted. It could never have been written by someone in the media. So, I guess it was written by someone in your industry."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Even so, how can Qiao Luo be so sure I would know?" Zhou Bin asked doubtfully.
Qiao Luo: "Since Mr. Zhou is so knowledgeable about TL Company, he must also know about TL Company's formidable rivals in the tech industry."
Zhou Bin didn't answer immediately, his hand gripping the coffee cup tightening unconsciously before he said, "TL Company has many formidable rivals in the industry, you could say the entire tech world. Do you think I would know that, Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Luo was instantly stumped by the question.
"Then which company do you think is most likely, Mr. Zhou?" Qiao Luo asked again in a different way.
Zhou Bin chuckled: "Why does it have to be another company? Why can't it be TL Company directing and acting on its own?"
Qiao Luo: "..."
“That’s impossible. I know TL Corporation. They would never do that.”
Zhou Bin: "Really? Does Miss Qiao understand her husband?"
