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!

Chapter 363: Si Zhengting, Let’s Get a Divorce (3)

It was a known fact that Director Mi Nuo liked hand-drawn drafts. The drafts that were handed in last-minute must have been ideas from a long time ago. Even if she were to draw them out as in the original copies, it would be difficult.

What could the design department do now?!

Even Zhang Tingting, whom Zhuang Nainai had a few encounters and maintained a decent relationship with, could not help but look at her with condemnation at that moment.

Such a loathsome stare coming from a stranger was the most hurtful.

Because of their innocence, their goodness, their evilness, and their biases were most capable of making one feel either their warmth or coldness.

Clenching her fists, Zhuang Nainai looked at everyone in the cafeteria.

She was definitely the one being slandered and wrongly accused, but her overpowering attitude made Li Li look vulnerable in comparison.

Li Li cried out, “Zhuang Nainai, make it up to me regarding the design drafts! Make it up to me! If you can’t fix the USB by today, don’t even think about leaving!”

“That’s right, you can’t leave!” Upon hearing Li Li’s cries, the colleagues around them suddenly felt a sense of sympathy and started surrounding Zhuang Nainai one by one.

“Make it up to Li Li for the design drafts!”

“You thief! Haven’t you sabotaged the Imperial Group enough?!”

“How can a degenerate person like you exist in society?!”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless. “...”

As lines and lines of nasty comments infiltrated Zhuang Nainai’s ears, she felt her ears ringing and her body trembling.

However, looking at these ignorant yet extremely righteous colleagues around her, Zhuang Nainai only felt resentful and deprived of any emotional outlets.

She clenched her fists tightly and looked at the people surrounding her. She could only feel the atmosphere becoming so oppressive that she had difficulties breathing.

“Shut up!” Zhuang Nainai yelled loudly all of a sudden. Everyone in the surroundings was stunned by her imposing stand at that moment.

Zhuang Nainai knew that even if the door to Si Zhengting’s private room was shut right now, he could hear the ruckus outside, but she was overwhelmed by an unprecedented rage that was driving her up the wall!

With her fists clenched, she suddenly walked straight toward the vegetable soup next to her. She picked up a big bowl and scooped out a generous portion of the vegetable soup before heading back.

As everyone watched her abnormal action, their eyes widened in bewilder.

Zhuang Nainai returned to Li Li’s side with the bowl in her hand. She fished out a USB from her pocket and passed it to her. “Take it.”

Her voice, her imposing stand, and the look in her eyes at that moment, they all exuded an aggressiveness that no one could dismiss. Hence, Li Li took the USB in a daze, then...

Zhuang Nainai stretched out her hand and went on to splash the big bowl of vegetable soup onto Li Li!

Just before, the vegetable soup only splashed onto her hair and a small section of her clothes, but now... Li Li looked like she had just been scooped out of a pot of vegetable soup as her entire body was drenched in soup.

Li Li was taken aback for a moment before she recovered from the stupor. She was so enraged that her voice broke and her face even looked slightly sinister! She shrieked, “What the hell are you doing?!”

Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes and reached out her hand to take the USB from her. Then, she passed it to the technician beside her. “Please check if this USB is spoiled.”

After she looked the technician in the eye, he took the USB flash drive and inserted it into the laptop. Only after he had done so did he start to question why he had to obey her orders.

However, since he had already inserted the USB, he should just take a look at it. The USB worked just fine.

Zhuang Nainai’s gaze swept across everyone that was present before she announced firmly, “My USB has been directly splashed by the soup, yet it is working well. How is it possible that her USB can spoil from coming into contact with drenched clothes? Please just grow some brains and think carefully! Don’t blindly follow others! Do you know how many people have been hounded to their deaths by public speculations?!”
