Chapter 39 - Dissociation

Just at this time, He Ruiting brought an assistant and came to their department.

"Boss He, why are you here?" When Department Manager saw him, he immediately switched to a fawning smile.

He Ruiting did not pay attention to him, but behind him, Zhou Xin threw a newspaper on the table, and said: "What happened?"

Department Manager picked up the newspaper and started to read. It was about their opponent's company, something about the new product launch. The Department Manager's hand that was holding the newspaper trembled. That's right, the reason he lectured here so early in the morning was obviously not only because of a proposal.

That project wasn't really that important, and even if the company didn't recruit him, there wouldn't be any loss. What made him angry was that there were a few designs stored inside the USB drive. And the design that appeared in this newspaper was exactly the same as the one in the USB drive.

In order to prepare this season's new product, the He's had not only spent a lot of money and time, but they had also worked overtime, working hard for the entire company.

"Boss He, I am also investigating this matter." Department Manager explained nervously, "I have already found out who did it and it is currently being handled."

He Ruiting followed Department Manager's gaze and looked over. She had her head lowered, thinking about something unknown, but from her conflicted little fingers, He Ruiting could see that she was at a loss, and also … Uneasiness.

"Boss He, this person is called Su Jinyi. She just came to the company for a month, and it was she who took the USB yesterday, causing it to disappear. She must be a spy."

"Oh?" He Ruiting squinted his eyes and said to Department Manager, "Then how do you plan to deal with her?"

"Expelled?" Department Manager answered tentatively.

"Is that all?" He Ruiting said, "The company has suffered such a huge loss this time, could it be that we can let her off so easily?"

"Then, what does Boss He mean?" Department Manager could not understand what He Ruiting meant.

He Ruiting's eyes swept once more across Su Jinyi's body, and then, he said to Zhou Xin who was behind him: "I'll leave this matter for you to handle."

"Yes, Boss He." Zhou Xin replied respectfully.

After he finished speaking, He Ruiting did not linger, and turned to leave. This time, everyone was stunned, especially this Department Manager, so what does this Boss He mean?

"Assistant Zhou, then she …?" Department Manager pulled Zhou Xin who was about to leave, and pointed at Su Jinyi.

"No one is allowed to leave until this matter has been investigated." After Zhou Xin left these words, he also left.

Actually, Zhou Xin didn't know why He Ruiting asked him to investigate this matter. Before he left, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Su Jinyi, because he had noticed that when He Ruiting had looked at her earlier, there seemed to be a difference.

"Go and busy yourself with your own things, don't just stand there." Seeing that He Ruiting and Zhou Xin had left, the Department Manager called for everyone to leave.

He had been at the company for a month, and had always lived a peaceful life, but she never thought that such a thing would actually happen now. However, she could not figure out, just who did it, and why did they do it, it was all because of a coincidence.

Thinking back to what happened this past month, Su Jinyi really couldn't think of anyone she had offended that was worth using such strength to frame, so she had to blame it all on this coincidence for now. It was just that she had to investigate this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, she would be taking the blame for nothing.

Just now, when He Ruiting appeared, she knew that this matter must have caused the company a lot of losses. She had also seen the contents of the newspaper, so the things on the USB tray and the designs, to be able to startle He Ruiting, she must have caused a lot of trouble!

Su Jinyi was blaming herself as she knocked her head. She had given him trouble, what should she do now? How was she going to face him? Should I send him a message? But what could she say? He must be very angry.

"Are you okay?" Just as Su Jinyi was at a loss, a female colleague came over and asked worriedly, "I see that you don't look too good, do you want to go back and rest?"

"I'm fine, thank you." Su Jinyi smiled at her.

"You don't have to take the manager's words to heart. Things haven't been investigated properly yet, so don't worry too much." This female colleague had been taking care of Su Jinyi for the past month, and now that something like this had happened, she was the only one who cared about Su Jinyi.

"Yes, I know." Su Jinyi said.

"Xiao Qiu, can you come and help me?" At this time, another colleague called out to her. This female colleague called Xiao Qiu comforted Su Jinyi by patting his shoulder, and then walked over.

The one who called Xiao Qiu over was another female colleague, she didn't have anything important that needed her help. After Xiao Qiu walked over, the other colleagues all surrounded her.

"Xiao Qiu, why are you still talking to her? Aren't you afraid of being implicated?" One of her colleagues said.

"Things haven't been investigated clearly yet. Maybe Su Jinyi was framed?" Xiao Qiu felt that Su Jinyi was not someone who would do such a thing.

"To know a person's face but not their heart, stay away from her for the next few days." Another female colleague said.

"Don't be like this, she usually treats us pretty well. We're all colleagues, don't be so awkward, right?"

"Xiao Qiu, you're still too naive."

"That's right. Anyway, we've said everything we needed to say. You decide for yourself."

Seeing that Xiao Qiu did not listen to them, and did not continue, without saying a few more words, everyone left, each busy with their own things. Xiao Qiu glanced at Su Jinyi who was seated on her seat with a troubled face, and still felt that she wasn't that kind of person. Thus, she chose to believe in Su Jinyi.

Su Jinyi was conflicted for a long time. She still could not think of what to say to He Ruiting, so she gave up the idea of sending him a message. She grabbed her phone and walked out of the office.

The atmosphere in the office was too oppressive. Su Jinyi felt a little stuffy, so she came to the top floor of the company. If she blew on the roof, perhaps she would feel a lot better.

When she arrived at the roof by herself, the weather had already started to turn cold. The wind on the roof was getting stronger, so Su Jinyi wrapped up the overcoat she was wearing tightly and found a corner to sit in, as it would still be more comfortable here.
