But if she managed to prove her abilities, wouldn’t she be proving her innocence?
The room was silent for a moment before Si Guangsong suddenly started laughing. “I have just heard the biggest joke on earth! Ha ha ha!”
Zhuang Nainai already expected Si Guangsong to disbelieve her. She turned her head to look at Si Zhengting.
This time, all she needed was two days.
Her gaze was burning bright, her heart expectant.
When their gazes met, she met his gaze squarely.
Si Zhengting spoke slowly. “Okay, let’s do this.”
Si Guangsong’s laughter halted. Shocked, he turned to Si Zhengting. “This is fine with you? You trust her?”
Si Zhengting coldly replied, “We’ll know in two days if it works out or not.”
At this point, he turned his gaze toward Li Li. “And you, you don’t have to report to work tomorrow.”
It seemed to everyone that the board meeting had ended in an entirely unexpected way.
The directors got up and left, leaving only Si Zhengting and Zhuang Nainai alone in the conference room.
The room quietened down, making Zhuang Nainai feel slightly suffocated.
The hurt and sadness stuck in her heart in the past few days, however, had dissipated a little when Si Zhengting had supported her suggestion.
But his overall distrust of her had undoubtedly created an inexplicable wall between them.
Suddenly, Zhuang Nainai had no idea how to face him.
Still deep in her thoughts, she heard Si Zhengting speak. “Come here.”
Zhuang Nainai followed Si Zhengting into the CEO’s office, confused. She spotted Si Zhengting doing something with his computer before passing her a USB flash drive.
Zhuang Nainai was stunned for a moment, and then a violent sense of insult welled up in her. She bit her lips, her original expectations shattering. She asked, “What’s in this flash drive?”
Si Zhengting stared at her and replied somewhat guiltily, “The design drafts.”
The warmth that was in Zhuang Nainai’s heart froze up immediately.
So that’s how it was!
He didn’t have the slightest trust in her…
He had thought that her plan was feasible, and so he was now just giving her the design drafts to use immediately… just to give Si Guangsong a slap in the face?
So, he had never trusted her from the beginning!
Just as she was about to reply, Zhuang Nainai’s cell phone rang.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Nainai suppressed the disappointment in her heart. It was only then that she picked up the phone and heard Lin Xi’er’s voice on the other end. “Nainai, I called to check, and your passport will be ready in a week’s time. Do you want me to help you book your air ticket to Los Angeles?”
A week’s time?
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath once more. “Okay.”
She barely had time to regain her composure after putting down the phone before she felt her shoulders being gripped. Feeling as if her body was being forcefully controlled by Si Zhengting, she felt him turn her toward him. His eyes were narrowed, and he was speaking in a hushed tone. “Zhuang Nainai, are you absconding?”
Zhuang Nainai’s cell phone volume had been very high. He had been watching her every move to see who had been calling her — but never did he expect to hear what he had just heard.
She was leaving? Leaving him, just like she did five years ago?
His brain had stopped working, and without controlling himself, he had then stood up, grabbed her by the shoulders, and asked her that one question.
