Chapter 362 - Si Zhengting, Let's Get a Divorce (2)

After Si Zhengting entered the private room, the ruckus in the cafeteria began again.

It seemed like the "freezing spell" placed on everyone had lifted, and everyone looked toward Zhuang Nainai again in unison.

Zhuang Nainai lowered her head. She wanted to leave this place.

But she had only taken two steps when her wrist was grabbed again. Li Li gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Zhuang Nainai, you're really going to walk off like that after you got my USB flash drive wet?"

After she said this, she looked toward the cafeteria and asked loudly, "Who has a laptop with them now? Hurry up and bring it over so that I can check if the USB flash drive is still working!"

Everyone in the company knew what had happened in the fashion design department recently.

The 100th Year Anniversary Celebration was coming up, and everyone was in a festive mood, welcoming the festivities. Only the fashion design department was working overtime to ensure that the design drafts would be ready the day after tomorrow.

Under Si Zhengting's leadership, one could say that the employees of the Imperial Group had pretty good camaraderie. Especially in such difficult times for the Imperial Group, everyone was of one mind.

It was like how everyone thought that Zhuang Nainai had plagiarized the design drafts and felt animosity toward her. And how everyone shared a common hatred against Zhuang Nainai with Li Li. Thus, a colleague quickly spoke up, "My laptop's here!"

The colleague sent his computer over, and Li Li plugged in the USB flash drive, anxiety written all over her face. Everyone stared at the display, holding their breaths as they waited for the laptop to read the drive. Then, Li Li screamed, "The USB flash drive doesn't work! Nothing is showing up on the laptop!"

The technician in the Imperial Group hurriedly ran over and ran a few checks before declaring, "Yes, it's not working. Water has seeped into the drive and whatever was on the drive can't be retrieved any longer."

Once he delivered his opinion on the matter, Li Li turned around angrily and glared at Zhuang Nainai. "Zhuang Nainai, what bone do you have to pick with our fashion design department? How dare you cause us so much trouble? There were three male and female outfits respectively in the draft, and they were our leading styles for the year! What do we do now that they're gone?"

Gone?

Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows. How did they disappear just like that?

The bowl of vegetable soup wasn't that large, and she had drank two mouthfuls of it. It had trickled down from Li Li's head before it made its way into her pocket — just how much liquid had really come into contact with the USB flash drive?

But the USB flash drive didn't work because it had been contaminated with water?

Just who were they trying to deceive?!

Zhuang Nainai took a step forward and looked at the computer. The USB flash drive didn't show up on the screen no matter what she did.

Thinking about how Li Li had reacted just now, Zhuang Nainai suddenly narrowed her eyes. "Li Li, no one would have known if your USB flash drive was working in the first place! I think it could have been spoiled from the very beginning!"

Once Zhuang Nainai said that, the colleagues surrounding her suddenly quieted down.

Zhuang Nainai's words were perfectly logical. However, who would believe her? She was the person who had plagiarized the design drafts, after all!

And in everyone's minds, she was the person who had stolen the design drafts, but they couldn't take action against her because they didn't have proof that she had indeed done it.

Thus, not many of the colleagues present believed what she was saying about the USB flash drive!

Li Li's eyes were red as she chose the right moment to speak up. "Zhuang Nainai, you, how could you be like this? Everyone here witnessed you splashing the soup on me, which wet the USB flash drive. You're still trying to wiggle your way out of this?"

"That's right, I saw you splashing the soup on Li Li with my own eyes, which caused the USB flash drive to get wet!" A colleague from the fashion design department had chosen that opportune moment to speak up.

They were so angry that their faces were all flushed!

Just how much extra time had they put in because of this stolen design drafts matter?

Just as it was almost ready and they could finally rest, the design drafts containing the leading style had run into problems again!
