Chapter 578: Chapter 369: _4

Jiang Wangyue, “Tang Xi, this has nothing to do with you.”

Tang Xi, “The urgent matter at hand is to find out who leaked my draft! And to collaborate with an inferior company like nglai Jewelry.”

nglai Jewelry, Su Kangrong, Xia Minjun, Shu ngshu—she couldn’t help but speculate.

After the others had dispersed.

Tang Xi, along with Jiang Wangyue and Fang Yuan, remained in the conference room.

Fang Yuan, “I should be the only one with access to Sister Tang Xi’s designs, but I can stake my life on it, I did not leak the drafts.”

Of course, Tang Xi and Jiang Wangyue would not suspect Fang Yuan.

Because the other party got the upper hand, Tang Xi’s side was forced to halt all promotional work.

The departnt had to imdiately adopt backup designs, and the previously announced ‘Winter Romance’ collection was pulled from the promotional plan, prompting the promotions departnt to reset their campaign. This series of events led to trendous losses.

On Friday afternoon, Tang Xi received an anonymous phone call.

“Director Tang, pay attention to a new designer who has been transferred to your departnt.”

A new transfer?

Tang Xi was about to ask for details when the caller imdiately hung up the phone. Tang Xi had soone trace the number, and it turned out to be from overseas.

It was clear that the caller did not wish to reveal their identity.

Jiang Wangyue pondered for a mont, “The only new employee who has been transferred is Ke ngling.”

Fang Yuan imdiately said, “Ke ngling, she visited Sister Tang Xi’s office. It was very busy that day, and she volunteered to help organize the design drafts and assist in delivering them to the factory.”

Tang Xi also recalled the incident.

She exchanged a glance with Jiang Wangyue and nodded.

Fearing to startle the snake by hitting the grass, the two did not imdiately call Ke ngling in for questioning or inform the police. Instead, they had soone follow Ke ngling and investigate who she had been in contact with recently, as well as whether there had been any large deposits into her accounts.

However, Tang Xi’s subordinates inford her that there were no large deposits into Ke ngling’s account.

“However, Miss Tang, I found sothing else. Ke ngling’s family’s company recently received a stream of working capital from nglai Jewelry.”

By now, the investigation made the situation clear.

Tang Xi ordered her people to inform the police and provide the evidence, and soon the police arrested Ke ngling.

She seed not at all surprised; facing the police, she was only afraid, a kind of instinctual fear. Ke ngling nodded in admission to the theft of Tang Xi’s design.

But she said it was out of jealousy.

She wanted to get revenge on Tang Xi, so she chose to steal Tang Xi’s design and sell it to a small company.

It wasn’t nglai Jewelry’s initiative to ask for it.

In a few sentences, she took all the bla upon herself and even portrayed nglai Jewelry as a victim.

Tang Xi visited Ke ngling at the detention center.

Ke ngling kept her head down, not daring to look at her.

Tang Xi sat across from her, “If you don’t want people to know, you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. Your father’s company received an investnt from nglai Jewelry, and we have solid evidence here.”

Ke ngling weakly retorted, “It’s a legitimate partnership between my father’s company and nglai Jewelry.”

Tang Xi didn’t pay her any heed but directly said, “It was Shu ngshu who made you do this, threatening you with your father’s company.”

Ke ngling was taken aback for a mont, but quickly, she retorted, “No, it’s because I was jealous of you. I envied that you were younger than but already a director. That’s why I had thoughts of stealing, selling your designs to nglai Jewelry.”

“Do you understand what you’re facing now? Because of what you’ve done, all of Fu’s Jewelry’s new products have been suspended. nglai Jewelry has seized market advantage, incurring losses of over a hundred million. Your act of comrcial theft involves a huge amount of money, and you’re looking at a minimum sentence of ten years in jail. You’re still so young, do you really want to spend it in prison?”

Ke ngling’s face turned pale.

She clutched her fingers tightly.

“I…I….”

She looked at Tang Xi, “Director Tang, Director Tang, please help , beg for leniency on my behalf. I know you’re President Fu’s wife, he will certainly listen to you.”

“What do you want to help you with? Drop the charges? Get a lesser sentence? But why should I drop the charges, why should I feel sorry or pity you? Spending ten years in prison is the consequence of your own actions. Fu’s Jewelry has lost so much, the whole design departnt has been working overti the past few days to redesign, and the PR departnt to re-plan. With losses over a hundred million, what face do you have to ask for rcy?”

Tang Xi’s voice was calm and indifferent.

Her words made Ke ngling’s face turn as pale as paper, her head bowed in guilt.

But she had no choice.

If she told the truth, that it was Shu ngshu who instructed her, then her father’s company would also go bankrupt…

“Director Tang, I know it’s all my fault… I was wrong, I truly was…” After she agreed to Shu ngshu, her heart had always been restless. After sending the photos of the sketches to Shu ngshu, she regretted it, she was scared.

She gambled everything she had.

But if she didn’t do it, and her father’s company went bankrupt, then what about her mother?

Usually, her father was harsh and rough with her mother, rarely ca ho, if the company collapsed, what would her mother do…

Biting her lip, she said, “Director Tang, it was all my doing, I was jealous of you.”

Listening to her words, Tang Xi sighed.

She stood up and left directly.

–

In Jiang Wangyue’s office.

She handed a stack of docunts to Tang Xi, “That Ke ngling, she is indeed a filial girl. Look at this, her father has a mistress on the outside and they even have a son. Although her mother is the first wife, her father has never been kind to them.”

Tang Xi picked up the docunts and glanced at them.

“I think we can approach this through Ke ngling’s mother. If Ke ngling can tell the truth that it was Shu ngshu who coerced and enticed her to do this, then we can rightfully sue nglai Jewelry and Shu ngshu.”

That afternoon, Tang Xi and Fang Yuan paid a visit to Ke ngling’s ho.

The Ke family also had a business, living in a row house in an old neighborhood. It was not very expensive but still a sign of moderate wealth, only affordable to the well-off.

A middle-aged maid opened the door, looking at Tang Xi and Fang Yuan, “Who are you looking for? The young lady is not at ho.”

“We’re here to see Mrs. Ke.”

“Mrs. Ke? She’s been unwell these past few days and is not receiving guests.”

The maid prepared to close the door.

Tang Xi said, “We are colleagues of Ke ngling, we have co on important business to see Mrs. Ke.”

After about ten minutes, Mrs. Ke Yu Jinlan ca downstairs.
