“Qian Lin, you are an outstanding graduate from the design major. In the past two years, your design sales have been good, but this year, not even a single draft of yours has been accepted, and you are doing worse than a newcor who has only been here a few days.” Gao Minjia continued to provoke Qian Lin with her words.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in Qian Lin’s eyes, Gao Minjia patted her shoulder, “I’m treating you as a friend in asking for your help; by helping , we’re in the sa boat. I’ll speak well of you in front of my uncle and will take care of you in the future. Moreover, how could our plan be exposed? Our cooperation is flawless; we’ll adamantly accuse Tang Xi of stealing, depicting her as nothing but a poor bumpkin. My uncle is still in the HR departnt. In the end, she will be the one getting fired, with no other risks involved.”

Qian Lin gritted her teeth and agreed, “Alright then, let’s do as you say.”

In the afternoon, as Tang Xi left Jian Rui’s office, she saw several people ordering Fang Yuan to fetch their parcels; Fang Yuan nodded without daring to resist, and Tang Xi followed her out.

Together with Fang Yuan, they went to the first floor to pick up takeaways.

They returned to the office area carrying more than ten beverages in their hands.

Fang Yuan said sowhat apologetically to Tang Xi, “Sister, you don’t need to bother with this sort of thing in the future; I can handle it. I know you don’t want to confront Gao Minjia directly. It’s just carrying a few drinks, a trivial matter.”

Tang Xi considered it a small favor and told Fang Yuan not to worry about it, “Then tell , how long have you been fetching takeout and parcels for them?”

Fang Yuan stayed silent for two seconds before saying, “Ever since my first day of internship here…”

Tang Xi sighed.

This afternoon, knowing that Gao Minjia would order Fang Yuan downstairs to fetch a lot of takeout, and realizing that Fang Yuan wouldn’t be able to carry it all by herself, Tang Xi decided to accompany her.

“How were you able, by yourself, to carry so many things before?” Tang Xi looked at their hands full of milk tea, coffee, cakes, and various snack takeouts.

Fang Yuan smiled, “It’s no big deal, I just made a few trips to carry everything up. I’ve gotten used to it.”

Tang Xi had just returned to her workstation.

Her cell phone chid.

She took it out to look, and it was a text ssage.

“Watch your bag.”

Tang Xi looked at the ssage from an unfamiliar number, frowning and glancing around, wondering who sent it.

Her bag was a simple, white one she had bought on Taobao for several hundred yuan.

She had been using it for over two years now.

At the ti of the purchase, she had been watching a live sale, where the host claid it was made of calf leather, very sturdy and durable, and could last a long ti.

She was convinced by the words “sturdy and durable” and placed the order.

At this mont, Tang Xi picked up her bag to look at it, not understanding what the text ssage ant.

The afternoon passed by.

Tang Xi and Fang Yuan were discussing what to have for dinner after work.

These past few evenings, Tang Xi had been dining with Fang Yuan. Tonight they planned to eat at the university town cafeteria inside North City University. The cafeteria at North City University used facial recognition for paynt; the students there paid by having their faces scanned.

Tang Xi was also a student at North City University. Although she had graduated, she could still use the system.

At this mont, Lan Ke ca over, “Everyone from Design Departnt 1, to the eting room!”

Fang Yuan whispered, “What’s wrong with Assistant Lan? She looks so serious; what happened?”

Gao Minjia’s smile turned smug, like she was looking forward to a spectacle.

Clicking her stilettos as she passed by Tang Xi, she bumped into her and entered the eting room.

Director You’s face was stern as she said coldly, “Except for one person on leave, everyone else is here. So, let be direct. We are all employees of Fu’s Corporation, and I do not wish for any of my subordinates to do anything disgraceful. This is an internal eting. If you confess voluntarily and return what you’ve taken, I may consider leniency and not report this to the company.”

Tang Xi exchanged a confused look with Fang Yuan, not understanding what was happening.

Gao Minjia spoke, “Director You, what happened? What’s going on?”

Qu Xinrong added, “Yeah, you sound so serious, we’re all scared.”

Director You glanced at Jian Rui, “You explain.”

Jian Rui stated, “Today, the advertising departnt sent over a sample for proofing, and it had been kept in my office. It’s a ruby diamond ring worth 2 million. This afternoon, when I was going to return it to the advertising departnt, I discovered it was missing. Apart from , only four people have entered and exited my office, naly Fang Yuan, Qian Lin, Director You, and Tang Xi.”

As she said this, her gaze finally settled on Tang Xi.

“A 2 million worth ring has gone missing; this is not a small amount. I’m holding this internal eting in hopes that whoever took it would voluntarily return it. I don’t want to make this public, but if I report it to the police and they arrive, it would beco a case of theft. With a value of 2 million, it could an several years in prison.”

“You have ten minutes. If no one cos forward after ten minutes, I will call the police!”

“Once I report this, not only will you lose this respectable job, but you will also have to confess to your actions. I hope you think it over thoroughly!”

Jian Rui’s words hung in the air, leaving the entire conference room in dead silence.
