Chapter 178: The Truth Comes Out
Mimi and I met at Starbucks at the South Bus Terminal at noon the next day.
Although Mimi has always given me the impression that he is very special, he is aloof and cold, and he doesn't like to fight in the world, but I am still a little worried about it to this day.
In case Mimi sets up some bureau, or joins forces with the police, then I'm not throwing myself into the net?
So that day, I deliberately changed my appearance, went to the second floor of Starbucks early to find a place near the stairs, and stared at the movement at the door.
At eleven o'clock, Mimi pushed the door and came in. She is dressed very differently today than in the past, a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, not as capable and shrewd as the strong women in the workplace in the past, but more of the kindness of the girl next door.
She looked around the hall on the first floor, but didn't see "Zeng Jianguo", so she found a place to sit down.
I sent her a WeChat message on the second floor: "You've arrived?"
"Well, next to the bar on the first floor, against the wall. β
"You're here alone?"
"Of course. What do you think?"
"I don't know. β
"You saved my life, and although I don't know who you are or if it has anything to do with stealing the recipe, I don't want to hurt you. β
"I'm inconvenient today, I found someone to replace me, he won't talk to you, just call the question on the phone, what you want to say, just say it. β
ββ¦β¦ Guarding me like that?"
"It's not as serious as you think. It's just that at this moment, everyone has to protect themselves. β
"Okay, is this man reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable. β
I walked slowly down from the second floor and walked over to Mimi's desk.
She glanced up at me: "Zeng Jianguo sent you?"
I didn't say anything, nodded, and sat down across from her.
According to what I just communicated, I typed a line on my mobile phone: "Why are you looking for Zeng Jianguo?"
Mimi bowed her head and muttered for a moment: "I think it's time to tell him the truth about the nail polish formula." β
I didn't expect this, so I moved on to the next question: "What is the truth?"
Mimi took a sip of coffee: "Zeng Jianguo has always guessed that the formula for color-changing nail polish is my work. He, guessed right. β
Today, Mimi said all the heavy* ah...... I paused for a moment.
"Why didn't you tell him in the first place?"
"I'm also being checked. β
"Who, what is the counterweight to you?"
"Mr. Liu. β
My jaw dropped, what secret was hidden in this?
Zeng Jianguo is a dog trainer at home, and he should know that one of the two dogs in Mr. Liu's family has a problem. β
I stared at Mimi on the other side, but fortunately I wore a cap to cover up today, otherwise the stunned eyes would have scared Mimi.
It turned out that Duoduo's wound was really the problem, and I quickly typed a line of words on my mobile phone: "Jianguo said, what is hidden in Duoduo's stomach?"
"It's evidence that he's blackmailing me......" Mimi sighed, as if reluctant to bring it up, "Toto's stomach is a box of videotapes that record my "incriminating evidence". When Mimi said the word incriminating evidence, she was particularly sad.
"What does it mean to be incriminating?" I asked.
"Evidence of guilt is a kind of rhetoric, but it is a means of a vicious person. This color-changing nail polish is the result of three years of painstaking research after I returned to China, and it has great commercial value. At that time, I was bent on applying for a national patent, in my own name. β
As Mimi spoke, she lowered her head and fiddled with the buttons on her clothes: "However, if I do this, it will affect Mo Feng's interests and highlight the personal effect." So at the beginning, Mr. Liu came to negotiate with me, and with a high position, high salary and various benefits, he hoped that I would give this patent to the company. β
Oh...... It gradually became clear in my mind.
"So you agreed?" I asked.
Mimi shook her head: "I'm not such a profit-seeking person, there are few girls studying chemistry, when I chose this subject, the whole family was against it, saying that a girl should do chemical engineering." However, I guess everyone is born with his or her own mission. My mission is to make chemical symbols a part of life. β
I nodded, although I haven't been in contact with Mimi for a long time, I have never seen anyone who can listen to a lecture and cry, and the sincerity and emotion in my eyes cannot be pretended.
"That day, after Mr. Liu talked to me, I didn't deny it on the spot. After all, the difference between my strength and his strength is too great. After he left the company, I worked overtime in the company until almost twelve o'clock that night, and everyone was gone, and I was the last one to leave. β
"I know the password of the secret lab, and because I am the core R&D personnel, I can also open all the placket settings for brushing my face. That night I went into the lab and copied all the sample recipes and backup data to my hard drive. I didn't dare to take the elevator for fear of encountering the security guards who were patrolling the night, so I went downstairs from the stairs. β
Mimi looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, and there was no emotion in her eyes.
"I was still naΓ―ve. The whole company is his, and in this industry, no matter how talented I am, I am just a newcomer, and my strength is no different from that of a little ant...... Soon, he discovered that the sample formula was missing, and found out that I had done it. Before getting off work that day, he called me to the office with a pleasant face, saying that we would have dinner together in the evening, and I couldn't refuse. I went to his house, and he turned on the projector in the living room and showed me a video of me running away in a hurry from the fire escape. β
"Despicable. "I typed those two words.
"Hmph," Mimi sneered, "It's just business, and there's nothing wrong with it." Mr. Liu, who is not very good at losing his temper, is all yin and bad tricks, and it is better to live than to die if you make you. He prepared a table of delicious food and then showed me a video of the fire staircase and asked me a question. β
Mimi paused, seemingly reluctant to say that: "He said, what if he handed over this video to the police and then accused me of stealing the company's most secret scientific research?"
"But the whole company knows you're the creator of color-changing nail polish. I typed this line resentfully.
"No, words are spoken by people, and people are the most uncontrollable. When he asked that, I knew what he was going to do. So, I promised him because I couldn't lose my reputation. β
"Then why does Duoduo have that tape in his stomach?" I wondered.
"Naturally, I was unwilling. After that, I kept pretending to be kind and approached him very closely, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the tape. One time he was drunk at a drinking party, and I asked him to open the safe to get something, and I found that the tape was in his safe! Later, I took advantage of his business trip to open the safe and take the tape. β
"I was still naΓ―ve. Mimi breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's backed it up a long time ago, and it's hidden in a place I'll never find. I'm not a big fan of dogs, and I've never been close to his dogs. I only knew that he took Duoduo out for a minor operation, and I didn't ask too much. β
Mr. Liu's image in my heart has always been very high, he is gentle and elegant, speaks slowly and logically. He is also very kind to people.,At a young age, he's already the president of a cosmetics company that is ready to go public.γ
But at this moment, his image in my heart completely collapsed...... This is a complete villain! Eating people without spitting out bones, squeezing the fruits of Mimi's labor, and using all kinds of subordinate means, he can actually come up with the idea of hiding the evidence in Duoduo's stomach...... I couldn't laugh or cry.
Mimi continued: "By chance, I went to his house for a party, and the guests around me were very used to dogs, so I held Duoduo and tickled him. I suddenly saw a scar on Duoduo's stomach, so long, the scar was still fresh, and I had a very bad premonition at that time...... But this method of concealment is really too difficult to start......"
"Zeng Jianguo not only saved my life, but it can be seen that he is an upright person. So I was in a really bad mood once, so I said a word or two. However, he didn't expect that he took it seriously. β
"He's just trying to help you. "I'm typing this string.
Mimi smiled sweetly: "What can he help me? He can't be from Su Jinhua's side, right?"
Mimi's insight shocked me, and I quickly typed to clarify: "No, but Su Jinhua went around and said that the formula belonged to her company." β
Mimi put down the cup: "If Zeng Jianguo is Su's person, then I want to remind him." Su Jinhua is a ruthless woman and must not be trusted. And she is the kind of master who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and the end of being used by her will not be good. β
I was really hit by Mimi's words...... Su Jinhua actually killed me and Yanzi, if we hadn't run fast, we would have died in that abandoned factory.
