Zhong Zhaohui left, and the people in the hall began to disperse slowly. Xiao Cai was pulled by her companion and left behind. She still didn't calm down in shock. It turns out that the designer Zhong she has always admired is like this, where did he get the beard, where did he come from, where did he come from.

But not only that, she should be right about this person, she saw it this morning, in the breakfast shop not far from the research institute, there was a bowl of unfinished soy milk and a plate of pickles in front of Director Zhong. This completely subverted her original imagination of Director Zhong, and she was a little confused for a while, feeling that all this was unreal.

Shaking her head, she thought that the distance between Director Zhong and her was quite far away, and there might not be much intersection in the future. Don't think about it so much, it's better to work with peace of mind, first take a second look at the competition drawings to be used the next day, and check if there are any oversights or changes.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and took out the key, and when she went out to watch Director Zhong just now, she inserted the key into the lockhole of the drawer and turned it around, locking it.

But when she opened the drawer with the key, she froze, and her drawings were not inside. She remembers very well that when she came in the morning, she looked for new brown paper bags in a drawer. Later, the group leader called her over and told her to prepare for the competition, and she put the drawings in a drawer and closed them.

Then she came back, and it was only ten minutes in between, and when she went out again, she locked the drawer before leaving. It was opened with a key just now, and it can be seen that the lock is not broken.

Xiao Cai's face was white, in order to prepare for this big cold, she had not taken a vacation for two consecutive months, and it was common for her to stay up late when she went back. There's a lot of work she's got here. Why did you lose it when you were all done?

"What's wrong?" her companion noticed her anomaly and reached out and shook it in front of her face. "Are you alright?"

Xiao Cai snorted and said, "I, the drawings I brought in the morning are gone, and I put them in this drawer." Not anymore. As she spoke, she pointed to the drawer with only two brown paper bags, some paper, and a few small clips.

The companion saw her put the drawings in with his own eyes, and said, "Hey, really, you put them in the morning." Don't look for it anymore and see if you've moved somewhere in the middle. ”

"No, I'm sure I didn't move. Xiao Cai was sure, the thing hadn't been touched since she put it in the drawer.

As she spoke, she rummaged through the drawer again, and there was no trace of the drawings. It's like the process of putting things in her in the morning is a hallucination.

When the companion saw it, he searched for it on her desk as in the folder, but he didn't find even a drawing that Xiao Cai had brought in the morning. In the end, she also stood aside helplessly: "How can this be?"

Soon, the whole office knew that Xiao Cai's drawings for the competition were lost, and when she asked the time, she didn't lock the drawer for the ten minutes and nearly twenty minutes that she went out to talk to the team leader. The five people sitting in the office at that time did not look very good.

Every designer of the institute has to participate in the competition, whether they are old employees or new employees, Xiao Cai's drawings were lost at this time, and the people who were in the office or even passing by the office at that time were suspicious. Of course, they don't look good on their faces. Maybe Xiao Cai's drawings were really taken away, but no matter what, there must be a few people who were wronged, who is replaced, who can be willing to be listed as a suspect?

The team leader came and asked about the situation at the time, but no one admitted that he had taken the drawings, and no one testified that he had seen who had moved Xiao Cai's drawer. In that case, it will be difficult to do.

The people who can be selected for the research institute are all excellent talents in this field, and no one can be wronged without conclusive evidence.

In the end, the team leader reluctantly called Xiao Cai to the office and told her: "We will continue to investigate this matter, now think about it, is there any alternative? Even if you can't stand out in this competition, you can't pay nothing." Think about it, if you want to take a leave of absence to go home, that's fine. But you still have to come tomorrow, otherwise you will be counted as absenteeism. ”

Before coming out to work, Xiao Cai's father had instructed her, telling her that no matter what she encountered at work, she must stabilize her shelf. So despite all the feelings in her heart, she still kept her face calm, and said to the team leader: "I know, thank you team leader, then I'll go back first, there are alternatives at home that are not perfect enough, I'll sort it out and correct it." ”

She searched her desk and her entire office, but when she couldn't find the material, she had to take the drawings she had drawn before. She knows the level of that picture, and she is still a little immature, compared with the people here in the research institute, that is, the level of making up the numbers.

But the team leader is right, the superior may not be able to exempt her from submitting this material because of her special reasons. Whether or not to pay is a matter of attitude, and she, a newcomer, should pay special attention to this. Not so much special care will be given to her. This is the workplace, not the kindergarten.

When Xiao Cai got home, he didn't eat dinner, and he was busy until half past eleven in the evening, and it was almost midnight when he prepared the previous drawings. She rubbed her astringent eyes, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

At this time, the phone rang, who can call so late? Xiao Cai muttered, pulled on his slippers, and went over to pick up the phone.

"Dad, it's you, why haven't you slept so late?"

"I can't sleep, so I'll call to see if you're staying up late again. As a result, I really hit it when I tried it. Are you working so hard?"

Dad's nurturing heart made Xiao Cai feel sad, and when he came back to today's grievances, Xiao Cai felt so much that he wanted to shed tears.

But she didn't want her dad to worry about her in a long way away, so she took a few deep breaths, then forced out a smile and said to her dad: "It's not that I always stay up late, just in the last few days, isn't there a competition in the unit that is coming soon? I'm preparing the drawings." But Dad, don't have any hope, the people here are very powerful, and I think my drawings are the life of a foil. But don't worry, Dad, I'll do my best. ”

"How can it be, don't think too low of yourself, you just have almost experience now, and it will be good to work for a long time in the future. Don't worry. ”

"Well, I know, Dad, you go to bed early, save your blood pressure from being high again. Drink less, don't quarrel with your mother, let her know, right?"

"Got it, look at you, why are you more nagging than your mother, but then again, if you think it's too hard over there, just go home here, Dad will help you arrange an easy job, you don't have to be so tired...... Forget it, I know you don't like to hear this. Don't talk about it, you can go to sleep too. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Cai sat on the mattress, looked around at the ten-flat rented hut, sobbed a few times, then wiped his tears, turned off the light, and lay back to sleep.
