Chapter 341: Who Was Framing Her? (9)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Si Zhengting heard what Ji Chen had to say, he radiated a piercing, murderous aura.

So, had Zhuang Nainai become the Gu’s sacrificial piece?

Or were they using Zhuang Nainai to threaten him?

His body was emitting a frightful presence. It was impossible to determine how he was feeling.

Ji Chen was so frightened that he lowered his head quickly. He also moderated his breathing and took quick, careful breaths. He only managed to work up his courage to speak after a while. “Sir, the Gus are too much. They’re practically kicking Madam to the curb after they’ve determined that she’s outlived her usefulness! You should tell Madam about this and let her see their true colors!”

By doing that, Madam wouldn’t have any misgivings about what would happen to the Gus in the future, and she wouldn’t think of leaving Sir any longer, right?

However, after he said that, Ji Chen saw Si Zhengting raising his head. There was an unfathomable gleam in his eyes that was extremely scary. Si Zhengting paused for a while before saying, “Don’t tell her.”

“Ah?” Ji Chen was shocked.

Si Zhengting lowered his head. “Arrange for a meeting with Gu Deshou so that we can talk.”

“Yes.”

After Ji Chen walked out of Mr. Si’s office, he was unable to make head or tail of what had happened. The thing that Sir hated the most was being threatened by people.

He remembered that something similar had happened before. When Sir was deliberating over what to do, there was another company that had threatened him. At that time, Sir had gone head-to-head with them. In the end, he had worn them down so much that they were haggard and better off dead.

But this time... why had Sir acquiesced so easily?

As he thought about this, Ji Chen paused.

He suddenly understood.

Sir didn’t want to tell Madam about this because he was afraid... that if Madam knew about this, she would be sad, right?

He turned back, looking at Si Zhengting through the open door. He saw Si Zhengting’s empty gaze directed at a corner of the study table. It was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

His tall and large figure was silently seated at the desk. Somehow, it looked lonely.

Strangely, Ji Chen’s heart lurched.

He heaved a long sigh, then turned and left.

It was 12 noon.

At the Imperial Group’s cafeteria on the fourth floor, Mi Nuo’s secretary, Li Li, had gotten her fill of rice. Then, she held her lunchbox as she tried to look for a place to sit.

A colleague waved at her from a table not too far away.

Li Li went over and sat next to him. He was an assistant in the company’s legal department and was Li Li’s good friend. When he saw Li Li, he smiled at her mysteriously. “Do you know of any recent developments regarding the plagiarism incident with the Gu Corporation?”

Li Li immediately widened her eyes. “What has happened?”

The assistant grinned widely and replied, “Our legal department received a reply from the Gu Corporation. They said that they had hired Zhuang Nainai to design their clothes for them, and regarding how their drafts ended up being so similar to ours ? they’re saying it’s because the creative ideas of our respective designers were similar!”

After hearing this, Li Li was so angry that she slammed the table. “That’s too shameless of them! She’s merely an employee in the venue design department. How is it possible that her creative ideas are similar to TZ’s? She’s really blowing her own trumpet here! This is what she’s claiming because we don’t have enough evidence to prove that she indeed stole the drafts! She designed that? I think she plagiarized them instead!”

Li Li’s voice was quite loud. As the employees around her were at an age where they loved to gossip, they looked for the source of the voice and managed to locate it, eventually glancing at her. There were even some people who were unable to help but ask, “What happened? What happened?”

Li Li was furious. She told them of what had happened rationally and seriously. It triggered a hatred amongst the employees toward Zhuang Nainai. Then, the hashtag #zhuangnainaiplagiarism# started circulating within the company. This hashtag even appeared as a post on the company’s internal forum, and it had ascended the ranks, becoming the top-ranking post with everyone’s support.
