Her words were powerful and resonating, causing the colleagues around her to eye each other before looking down after a while.

Zhuang Nainai looked at Li Li again. “And you. How dare you frame another person when you spoiled the USB yourself? Let me tell you, not everyone is a fool!”

After she finished speaking, she turned around, straightened her back, and left the nauseating cafeteria.

It was only when Zhuang Nainai had vanished from the cafeteria did Li Li have a sudden realization of what just happened. She screeched. Before she could say anything, a voice bellowed, “What are all of you doing?! What ruckus are all of you causing?!”

As Ji Chen’s voice filled the cafeteria, the surrounding colleagues dispersed immediately.

Li Li looked back at Ji Chen. “Executive Assistant Ji, you can’t let her go! You have to let her make it up to us for our design drafts!”

Ji Chen’s face darkened as he reprimanded Li Li, “If there’s any problem, you can send feedback to the company’s executives. Why are YOU kicking up a fuss? Why are all of you still gathered here? Hurry up and disperse!”

After finishing that sentence, he looked at Li Li and continued, “And you, what are you doing as someone’s secretary? You are too reckless in your work! How can you carry such an important USB around with you?! It’s obvious that there was a fight between the two of you, but how did it end up with her pouring vegetable soup on you?! Moreover, Zhuang Nainai’s words make sense. Who knows if the USB was faulty to begin with? Nonetheless, this is your mistake! Go back right now and write a report. You will read it out to everyone on Monday’s staff general meeting! And since the design drafts are ruined, you have to take responsibility! I will deduct one month’s worth of pay from you!”

Li Li was stunned by Ji Chen’s scoldings. Even after Ji Chen had left, she had yet to recover from the stupor.

There was no doubt that... Zhuang Nainai had damaged her USB, but why was she the one receiving the punishment?

Meanwhile, Zhuang Nainai had walked off unscathed once again!

In the private room...

Si Zhengting’s expression was extremely somber. Although his eyes were fixed on the exquisite dishes on the table, he could not bring himself to eat them.

All the evidence were pointing toward Zhuang Nainai. He could almost reach a final verdict regarding the design drafts issue.

However, Si Zhengting suddenly thought of how Zhuang Nainai kept her back straight when others were pointing fingers at her.

Her fragile body was definitely not capable of withstanding those criticisms, but she still stood unyielding like a pine tree.

Two days ago, he heard her talk on the phone with his own ears. To add on, he was upset by Gu Xingshan’s words, “In her heart, he is never her priority,” causing his emotions to be turbulent.

However, after calming himself down today, he suddenly felt that maybe he had wronged Zhuang Nainai.

Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes and said to Ji Chen, “Submit all the evidence regarding the design drafts to me.”

I want to investigate personally.

On the 18th floor...

Li Li stood in front of Mi Nuo with a pair of red and swollen eyes. “Boss Mi, I can’t accept what just happened today! It is obviously Zhuang Nainai’s fault, but how could she walk away unscathed while Executive Assistant Ji punished me!”

As Mi Nuo listened to her words and her complaints, her eyes slowly narrowed.

Little did she know, Mr. Si would still defend her up until this stage!

Exactly how much did he like her!?

Mi Nuo clenched her fists tightly as her gaze turned cold.

Ever since Zhuang Nainai joined the company, she had been suppressing and bullying her just to make her leave Mr. Si. Thus, all the more, she could not give up now.

Mi Nuo kept her head down before looking up at Li Li all of a sudden. “I don’t know what to do about this anymore.”

Li Li said through gritted teeth, “Then are we letting Zhuang Nainai go just like this?!”
