Zhuang Nainai finally found Ji Chen in a small corner decorating something. Walking hurriedly over to him, she said, “Executive Assistant Ji!”
Ji Chen turned around and immediately greeted her politely. “Madam, can I help you with anything?”
Zhuang Nainai urgently recounted what she had witnessed earlier between Si Guangsong and the female reporter, then began to describe to him how the reporter looked like. “She has short hair and small eyes, and she’s in an army-green top. She’s got green boots on, and her overall appearance is somewhat bright and fresh. I’m sure you’ll be able to locate her.”
As she said this, she turned around and began searching the crowd. After scanning the event location for a round or so, her gaze rested on the female reporter who was now standing in a corner and eating from the buffet spread. “Executive Assistant Ji, that’s her!”
Ji Chen followed Zhuang Nainai’s gaze and turned to look. In an instant, his eyes narrowed and he gave a huff. “I knew it! The sly old fox wouldn’t let things slide so easily; what an oversight we’ve had that his people managed to sneak in. That lady is from Su Er Newspaper Agency, and she’s got a bit of a reputation. But don’t worry, Madam, I’ll go over now and chase her out of our event.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded.
She then watched as Ji Chen ran over and said something to the female reporter. Then, just as she was about to shout in response, he waved the security officers over to bring her out.
Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief only when she saw with her own eyes that the reporter had left the event location. Subconsciously, she turned to look at Si Guangsong, whose face was dark by now.
Zhuang Nainai felt a wave of satisfaction. Now, everything would be fine, right?
But Zhuang Nainai’s right eyelid twitched, making her feel as if something bad was about to happen.
She made her way around the banquet hall for a while before checking her watch and realizing that it was five minutes to six in the evening.
In other words, the celebration was about to start in five minutes!
Yet Si Zhengting, the major attendee of the evening, had yet to appear.
Bored, Zhuang Nainai made another two rounds around the banquet hall. All of a sudden, she finally realized where her feelings of insecurity came from.
Mi Nuo wasn’t here yet!
As the most suspicious person on her list, Mi Nuo had to be in her sight all the time.
Zhuang Nainai began to look for Mi Nuo.
She walked around twice before spotting Mi Nuo standing together with Zuo Yiyi at the entrance. Both of them were speaking to each other, with Zuo Yiyi having her usual lukewarm expression on her beautiful face. Mi Nuo said a few words to her, the conversation seemingly going downhill. Zuo Yiyi raised her eyebrows, then simply walked off.
Mi Nuo was left standing alone, awkward.
Someone who wanted to get into Zuo Yiyi’s good books stepped up to ask Mi Nuo, “What’s the matter with Ms. Zuo? Why does it seem that her mood isn’t too good?”
Mi Nuo’s face reddened. A moment ago, she had simply gone over to praise Zuo Yiyi’s outfit, but for some reason unknown to her, Zuo Yiyi had turned and left!
This Zuo Yiyi was certainly one who never minded making life hard for people.
But Zuo Yiyi’s current bad mood was known to everyone, and it was only Mi Nuo who had dared to go up to her to chat. That made everyone want to cleave to Mi Nuo to find out what was going on.
Mi Nuo quickly composed herself as she heard the question. She turned her gaze toward Zhuang Nainai, then sighed. “I heard that Ms. Zuo had an argument with an employee of ours because of the issue with the design drafts. It’s understandable that her mood would be bad!”
Just this one comment was enough to send everyone’s imaginations running wild.
The story went: the Imperial Group had a female employee who had not only plagiarized TZ’s creative works but had also sold the designs to other people. Yet she had not been dealt with by the company because she held the interest of Mr. Si.
