Everyone looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

Shen Rufeng was wearing a neat suit and standing at the door of the design department with an indifferent expression. His brows were tightly furrowed on his gentle and handsome face.

Lin Yi, the special assistant to the president, was standing next to him, looking at everyone with cold eyes. It was he who shouted just now.

Seeing these two people appear, everyone in the design department was frightened.

"President..."

The president actually came to their design department!

And it’s at this time!

Shen Rufeng has a very strong aura. Even if he doesn't say anything, just standing there can make everyone feel tremendous pressure.

Zhao Yuan was also frightened by his appearance.

Why did the president come down suddenly?

She immediately left Jiang Qingli and the others behind, walked forward tremblingly, and asked with a stiff smile, "President, why are you here?"

Shen Rufeng said indifferently: "I asked Lin Yi to come down and deliver the design draft. He said that the design department was in a mess and suspected of plagiarism. Does Shen's company have such a thing as plagiarism?"

He looked at Zhao Yuan with an oppressive look and asked, "Who plagiarized the design?"

Zhao Yuan looked uncomfortable for a moment, but she reacted quickly and took the initiative, "It's her!"

She pointed at Jiang Qingli and said to Shen Rufeng, "President, this newcomer plagiarized, and it just happened to be my work.

It was actually because I didn't discipline my subordinates strictly that this kind of thing happened.

Now I am seriously criticizing her behavior. As an original designer, plagiarism is not acceptable.

But she not only refused to repent, but also kept making excuses, so I wanted to expel her..."

Shen Rufeng looked at Zhao Yuan calmly and asked her, "You said she plagiarized, do you have any evidence?"

Zhao Yuan said as a matter of course: "I was the first one to draw the design, this is the biggest evidence!"

Jiang Qingli was behind, her eyes red with anger. She clenched her fists and wanted to go up and argue.

Lin Yi got a step ahead of her and asked, "Director Zhao, you said she plagiarized you, but she must have seen your work before she could plagiarize. But she is a newcomer, how could she have seen your design draft?

Shouldn't each of your designers' drafts be kept confidential before they are submitted?

Besides, you have your own office. Can this newcomer enter your office in front of everyone?"

When Zhao Yuan heard Lin Yi's question, she immediately said, "She got in naturally. She was the one cleaning my office a few days ago. Maybe she secretly flipped through my manuscript while cleaning, so she had the opportunity to plagiarize my work."

She spoke confidently, but Lin Yi did not believe her. Instead, he asked, "Oh? Is that so? I remember our company recruited designers. How come this newcomer is doing odd jobs?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the design department fell silent.

The entire design department knew about the miscellaneous work and that Zhao Yuan was intentionally targeting Jiang Qingli, but no one dared to say anything.

Zhao Yuan's eyes also became flustered for a moment. She subconsciously looked at Shen Rufeng, but found that Shen Rufeng was also looking at her with a scrutinizing look, waiting for her answer.

For a moment, Zhao Yuan didn't know how to explain.

She was used to bullying others in the design department. She had her uncle above her to protect her. Even if she exploited the people under her, no one dared to complain.

Shen Rufeng looked at Zhao Yuan and the reactions of other people in the design department, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

It seems that something else happened in the design department these days that he didn't know about!

He looked directly at Jiang Qingli behind him and asked her in a cold tone: "Tell me, why did you go into her office to clean? Could it be... that you really wanted to get your hands on her design drafts?"

Zhao Yuan was afraid that Jiang Qingli would expose her, so she hurriedly said, "President..."

Shen Rufeng's eyes were like ice, shooting at Zhao Yuan with a warning, "Did I ask you to say it?"

Zhao Yuan was frightened by his look, her lips trembled and she dared not say anything.

Shen Rufeng continued to look at Jiang Qingli, his expression softened a little, and Jiang Qingli could tell that his emotions were not directed at her.

Moreover, when he appeared at this moment, for some reason, she instinctively knew that he was here to help her.

So Jiang Qingli said truthfully: “I went to clean at the request of Director Zhao, not just for one day. From the time I joined the company until now, I have never done what a designer should really do.

Director Zhao doesn’t assign me any designer work. All she asks me to do every day is chores.”

Zhao Yuan looked panicked and explained hastily, "Boss, I'm just... just trying to temper the newcomers. I don't want them to do all the chores. I'll also guide them in design when I'm free. If you don't believe me, ask them."

Zhao Yuan pointed at Zhu Xiaoqi and Chen Yueyue.

These two people have been Zhao Yuan's lackeys since they entered the design department. How could they not cooperate at this moment? They immediately agreed and said, "Yes, Director Zhao is conscientious and responsible, and he takes good care of us newcomers."

Lin Yi looked at their reactions and could see that Jiang Qingli was being excluded.

He said aloud: "You only taught them, but not Designer Jiang, right?

If I remember correctly, Designer Jiang's performance is the most outstanding among the three. Director Zhao's behavior is quite incomprehensible..."

Zhao Yuan knew that she couldn't fool him, so she immediately put the blame on Jiang Qingli and said, "Assistant Lin, President, I have a reason for doing this..."

"What's the reason?" Lin Yi asked her.

Zhao Yuan gritted her teeth and said, "The three of them joined the company at the same time, but Jiang Qingli is ambitious and disobedient. She relies on her excellent grades to look down on others.

After she came to the design department, she was disrespectful to her superiors and contradicted her seniors. She didn’t take anyone seriously at all…”

When Shen Rufeng heard this, he looked a little impatient and raised his hand to look at his watch.

Lin Yi noticed his actions. Having been with him for many years, he immediately understood that his CEO didn't want to continue listening to nonsense.

He immediately interrupted Zhao Yuan, "Okay, the rules of Shen's design department have always been free. Designers are allowed to go out for field research even during working hours. When can we talk about discipline?

When the eldest lady was still around, she only asked you to submit design drafts that satisfied her on time. Why are there so many more rules and regulations as soon as she left?

By the way, Director Zhao, you just said that whoever designed the draft first is plagiarizing. Then may I ask, when did you design this draft? What evidence do you have to prove it? "

Zhao Yuan immediately said, "Of course there is. My design draft this time was a sudden inspiration a few days ago. At that time, I drew the sketch directly on the computer. The date is also saved on the computer..."

Zhao Yuan had considered this before plagiarizing, so she did not use the manuscript.

The purpose is to use the computer to preserve evidence, even if Jiang Qingli finds out later it won’t matter.

Because what Jiang Qingli had in his hand was just a hand-drawn design.

Even if there was a date marked on the manuscript, she could say that Jiang Qingli had marked it there later.
