It was the weekend. Mo Yan did not work overtime today. Instead, she stayed at home with Luo Tao.
On the small sofa, Luo Tao sat at the side reading a book. Mo Yan lay on his lap and flipped through a document.
After reading for a while, Mo Yan was in a daze again. Her eyes could not focus.
In fact, from yesterday onwards, Luo Tao had noticed Mo Yan’s abnormality and asked her if something had happened.
Mo Yan hesitated for a long time but still voiced out the doubts in her heart. This time, not only did she tell him about her and Chen Ya, but she also told him about the conflict between CEO Song and the Deputy General Manager.
“Two nights ago, when I said that I was going to Jing City to expand the business, CEO Song specifically asked me if I wanted to go. I answered yes. But I don’t understand why CEO Song is sending me there? There are many people in the company who are more senior and more capable than me. Why is she asking me?”
After listening to Mo Yan’s words, Luo Tao pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you think that your leader asked you to go because of those scandals about the Lin family?”
Seeing that he had spoken out her guess so straightforwardly, Mo Yan silently agreed with his words.
“I can’t think of anything else. Could it be that CEO Song chose me because I went against Chen Ya? This is simply impossible!”
“Indeed, it’s impossible,” Luo Tao thought to himself. However, he had already guessed Song Yun’s thoughts.
Although Mo Yan was a newcomer, her abilities were not bad. She had a lot of room for development. It was worth Song Yun taking the risk.
However, there was another more important reason besides this. It was Qin Yuan.
Mo Yan was the person Qin Yuan had named to be taken care of. With the double push from her and Qin Yuan, there was a high chance that her trip to the capital city would be successful.
As for the scandals about the Lin family, Luo Tao curled the corner of his mouth into a mocking smile.
“Luo Tao, are you in a daze?”
Mo Yan put down the paper and looked at the man holding the book.
Luo Tao gently stroked Mo Yan’s long hair and replied, “No.”
“I’m just wondering what kind of person your leader is.”
“You mean CEO Song?” Mo Yan asked.
“Yes.”
Mo Yan recalled the few times she had interacted with Song Yun, she said, “I think that CEO Song is very amazing! She started her own business at the age of 30, founded Hong Jing, and grew the company to a remarkable extent. She is very good to her employees. She would also send colleagues home when everyone was working overtime. Actually, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel that CEO Song really likes me.”
At the end of her sentence, Mo Yan secretly laughed. She didn’t know why she had such a feeling.
As he watched Mo Yan’s beaming face, Luo Tao’s expression became even gentler.
“Since you have such a good impression of CEO Song, why do you still think that she asked you to go to Jing City because of the scandal about the Lin family?”
“I had no choice! I was just curious! It’s all because of that big mouth of Chen Ya’s! She deliberately came to me and told me that the project was the Lin family in Jing City’s, causing me to think so much.”
Mo Yan grumbled unhappily, but it was this sentence that made Luo Tao notice the key information.
“You said that Chen Ya specifically told you about it?” Luo Tao frowned and asked.
“Yes.”
Thinking about it, Mo Yan also noticed something unusual. Why did Chen Ya deliberately mention the Lin family to her?
If she had not listened to Chen Ya’s words, she would not have searched for news about the Lin family. Instead, she would have focused all her energy on the project.
“Chen Ya wants me to have suspicions about CEO Song?”
“Maybe it’s more than that.” Luo Tao’s expression was slightly solemn as he continued, “If something really happened, who would be the first person that you would think of who set the trap?”
“CEO Song?” Mo Yan almost cried out in shock.
No wonder Chen Ya wanted to say that to her. She knew that Chen Ya had bad intentions, but did CEO Song not have that kind of intention?
The moment Mo Yan thought it through, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. She did not dare to trust anyone right now. She had to be very careful during this trip to the capital city.
Looking at Mo Yan who was like a startled bird, Luo Tao could not help but feel his heart ache.
It was not just what Mo Yan had said. Luo Tao had other thoughts regarding working with the Lin family. He needed to get someone to investigate further.
Luo Tao knew what Mo Yan was afraid of. However, he could not reveal the reason why Song Yun was taking care of her. Perhaps it was not that he could not but that he did not dare. He had to make all the preparations before he laid his cards on the table with Mo Yan.
Holding her in his arms, Luo Tao comforted her softly, “Don’t be afraid. I will be by your side.”
“Okay.” Mo Yan replied.
Recently, she had been praying non-stop, praying that Luo Tao would never know her identity in his life, so that she could be by his side as Mo Lian.
“Luo Tao, it will be very troublesome to go to the capital city this time. You have to protect me well!” Mo Yan placed her hand in Luo Tao’s and said in a gentle voice.
The man took advantage of the situation and shook her hand. He smiled and replied, “Okay, I promise you.”
