Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Mei hadn’t called Zhuang Nainai to go along with her to the design department. In any case, Zhuang Nainai had to hand in her design drafts, so Su Mei simply went straight to the office.
The issue of plagiarism revolving around Zhuang Nainai had gained much attention because of Si Guangsong’s direct intervention in the issue. Coupled with the fact that the various departments were done with their work and were just waiting to attend the event in the evening, everyone was bored enough to make their way to the design department to see what would happen to Zhuang Nainai.
By the time Zhuang Nainai arrived at the entrance to Mi Nuo’s office, a group of people had already gathered there.
Everyone began pointing fingers at her while some insults began to float around.
“How shameless she is for copying TZ’s work and then claiming it to be hers! And now she still has the nerve to ask the company to use her designs?”
“Exactly! How thick can her skin get — I reckon it can even match up to the Great Wall!”
“Actually, how did she even pluck up the courage to make such a bold claim that the design drafts were hers?”
“Hey, who knows? Maybe her talent for designing is really just that extraordinary!”
“Please, you actually believe in ‘talent’? Who doesn’t succeed with hard work more than anything else? Just take a look at Director Mi; her works were childish at the beginning and they only got better after many years of hard work!”
“It’s no use to talk so much. Anyway, the results will be out today, so let’s just see what sort of talent she has!”
Zhuang Nainai ignored the sarcasm and insults.
While she might have felt a little sad a day or two ago, she was now simply focused on handing in the design drafts, proving her innocence, and leaving this dastardly place. In short, she felt stronger now.
Without any hesitation, Zhuang Nainai walked forward and rapped her fingers on Mi Nuo’s office door.
In their eagerness to be busybodies, everyone stuck out their necks to get a glimpse of what was going on. With a devious glint, Zhuang Nainai rolled her eyes.
They wanted to know the result?
She was going to make sure they never knew!
While these people weren’t particularly abhorrent, they were easily influenced into bullying and badmouthing her.
She, Zhuang Nainai, was a petty person, always sure to exact revenge.
And so, she closed the room door with a sly smile, cutting off the sightlines of the mass of curious eyes trained on her.
Everyone was speechless.
The Imperial Group’s office environment was indubitably first-rate. The noise isolation features were of good quality, and with excellent daylight coming into the room, Mi Nuo’s office was of a standard befitting a director of the company, emanating a sense of its occupant’s success in life.
The sounds of the commotion outside ceased as the office door closed. Zhuang Nainai took a step forward and handed the flash drive to Mi Nuo.
Mi Nuo stared at her with disbelief in her eyes, obviously stunned.
In just two days, Zhuang Nainai had been able to finish up the six design drafts?
“Director Mi, please feel free to see if they’re of acceptable quality.”
Zhuang Nainai had deliberately lowered her voice. The moment she finished speaking, she fixed her gaze on Mi Nuo.
Mi Nuo lowered her eyes and received the flash drive. After a glance at it, she was just about to make a move to do something to it when she heard Zhuang Nainai continue speaking. “Director Mi, even if this flash drive drops into water, that’s all right. I have a back-up set with me.”
Mi Nuo’s hand stiffened.
She lifted her head up violently and stared at Zhuang Nainai. Narrowing her eyes, her gaze sharpened. “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Zhuang Nainai took a step forward and placed both her hands on the table, leaning forward. Her expression was serious, her gaze sharp. “It can’t be that you don’t understand me, can it?”
The hand that Mi Nuo was using to hold the flash drive tightened. In that instant, she avoided Zhuang Nainai’s eyes and plugged the flash drive into the computer.
