"I'll be right over." He Ruiting ended the call, looked at Su Jinyi with a face full of conflict, and said apologetically: I have some things to take care of, and might not be able to accompany you anymore.
"I'm fine. Go back to work." Su Jinyi laughed and expressed her understanding.
He Ruiting pursed his lips as though he still wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth wide, he did not know what to say, and in the end he did not say anything, and anxiously left.
When He Ruiting's figure completely disappeared from his sight, she finally calmed down and headed towards the office.
"Su Jinyi, where did you go? The manager was looking for you just now." Just as Su Jinyi returned, Xiao Qiu came over to welcome him.
"Looking for me?" What business do you have with me? " Su Jinyi asked curiously.
"I don't know, but his expression doesn't look too good. I said you went to the washroom, so don't tell me you leaked it later." Xiao Qiu whispered into her ear.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you." Su Jinyi smiled at her. At this time, Xiao Qiu's attitude towards her made Su Jinyi feel very warm. Actually, the interactions between people are sometimes very simple.
"Hey, your clothes??" Just as Su Jinyi was about to go to the manager's office, Xiao Qiu called out to her, and asked curiously: "This seems to be a man's coat, where did you go?"
Only then did Su Jinyi react, she was still wearing He Ruiting's jacket, if she went to look for Department Manager like this, she would be dead, but facing Xiao Qiu's questions, Su Jinyi did not know how to answer, and she vaguely said, "Oh, a friend just came to see me, I'm going to look for the manager."
"Oh." Xiao Qiu nodded suspiciously, and did not say anymore.
Su Jinyi took off He Ruiting's jacket and placed it on his seat, then went to knock on the manager's office door.
"Enter."
With permission, Su Jinyi pushed open the door and entered.
"Manager, are you looking for me?" When Su Jinyi went in, the manager was looking at the documents.
"Come, sit." Seeing that she had come, Department Manager put aside the matter at hand and let her pass.
Su Jinyi walked over obediently and sat in front of him. Then, she heard him say, "Do you know Boss He?"
"Why does the manager ask?" Su Jinyi was a little surprised. Why would he ask him such a question?
"I'm just asking." The manager laughed and didn't say anything else.
"Did the manager want to ask me about this?" Su Jinyi frowned, she felt that this manager seemed to know something.
"I called you here to ask you some details about the USB drive." The manager cleared his throat and added in a different tone, "What time did you put the USB drive back yesterday?"
"Before getting off work, I don't think it was even an hour. I didn't pay much attention to the specifics." Su Jinyi answered truthfully.
Following that, Department Manager asked a few more questions, which Su Jinyi answered one by one. However, in Su Jinyi's opinion, all of the questions he asked were not important, because after such a thing happened, the most important thing right now was to think about how to hold the press conference smoothly. Since the USB drive had been lost and the design stolen, wouldn't it be strange to try to sort out what had happened?
Even if they wanted to investigate who was responsible, it should be after the press conference ends. There was still about a week until the press conference, so they couldn't cancel it temporarily.
After exiting the manager's office, Su Jinyi sat on her seat and thought about things. In the afternoon, she did some work and it wasn't until she got off work that she packed up and prepared to go back.
Just as she walked out of the company gates, she met Duan Yunxuan.
"Why are you here?" Su Jinyi asked in surprise.
"Brother Ting asked me to send you back." Duan Yunxuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he was unwilling to come. Alright, since the time he returned to his homeland, he had been very busy, and now he even had to run errands for him.
"I can go back myself." Su Jinyi wanted to reject him, but she felt that it wasn't good to always trouble him.
"Don't refuse, this is something Brother Ting specifically instructed us to do, so, let's go." Duan Yunxuan no longer gave her the chance to refuse, he directly reached out and received the clothes and bag from her.
"Hey, Su Jinyi, is your boyfriend coming to pick you up from work?" At this time, the Colleagues in the same office also got off work. They came to the entrance of the company and saw them.
"Uh, no." Su Jinyi explained in embarrassment.
"That's the suitor." One of the female colleagues said, "They're all so considerate. Just straighten them out."
"Xiao Gao, what are you joining in for? This is my problem." Another colleague pulled at this female colleague named Xiao Gao, hinting her to speak less.
"Let's go." Su Jinyi felt that if she were to explain herself now, these colleagues would not listen. Looking at their appearances, they should still be misunderstanding him about today's events, thus, she did not stay any longer and left together with Duan Yunxuan.
Duan Yunxuan saw all of this, but in order to not cause trouble for his sister-in-law, he stood quietly at the side and only left when she said goodbye.
Seeing that they had left, the few colleagues disinterestedly dispersed and went back to their own homes.
Ever since He Ruiting had picked up the call from earlier in the day, he had not contacted Su Jinyi again. Furthermore, he did not return home the entire night, so Su Jinyi thought about how nervous he looked before he left, probably because something urgent had happened, so she did not contact him.
When this person was in bad luck, all sorts of bad things often happened. On the second day, the moment Su Jinyi stepped into the company's gate, everyone's gazes were focused on her. All the people who saw her and passed by her couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and were discussing about something in groups of twos and threes.
When he arrived at the office, the female colleague Xiao Gao walked over.
"Yo, our news female lead is here." Xiao Gao's tone was extremely playful and even the gaze he looked at her with contained traces of contempt.
Su Jinyi didn't understand what she meant, she didn't know why she would suddenly treat him in such a ma er. Thus, she didn't pay any attention to Xiao Gao, and silently returned to her seat. Xiao Gao saw that she was ignoring him, and was not angry at all. She walked to her seat, grabbed a newspaper, and threw it in front of Su Jinyi.
"Since you're so capable, why did you come here to work? Having lost the design script, causing the company to suffer such a huge loss, everyone's hard work has all been wasted, yet you still have to pretend to be i ocent." Xiao Gao said in a strange tone.
