Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Thief Found

Ran Xixi was thinking about how to talk to Manager Gao as she walked. Before I knew it, I walked to the door of the advertising department.

She looked up. I saw that the employees in the department were busy working overtime. Manager Gao's office is closed. Even the blinds are tightly drawn.

Hesitating to go in. A familiar beauty walked over. took the initiative to say hello to Ran Xixi.

"Miss Ran. Are you here to find Manager Gao? ā€

Ran Xixi reflected. Recognize the beautiful woman in front of him as the last time he saw it. It's called Helen. Looks glamorous. Fantastic figure. Heard. She and Emily, the assistant of the law, are a gay couple.

Ben is not a gossip person. So. After hearing about it. Ran Xixi didn't react in particular. And. Two big beauties hand in hand. Nature is also a pleasing thing for the eyes.

"Hello. Oh, yes. I came to find Manager Gao. I don't know if he's free now......"

Ran Xixi said with a smile. Then he glanced a few more times in the direction of his office. I can't help but wonder: this is the time. He circled himself in the office alone. Don't know what you're doing.

Hear the words. Helen smiled. There was a lot of style in his eyes: "Mr. Law just came over to talk to Manager Gao about things. The two of them had been in for a while. Probably for tomorrow's launch as well. ā€

As soon as I heard this. Ran Xixi is not good to go in again. But. Turn around and go. She was not reconciled.

Helen was empathetic: "Miss Ran." Just sit and wait. I'll pour you a glass of water. ā€

She nodded immediately. He sat down on the couch at the door. You can just see Manager Gao's office. As long as someone comes out. Ran Xixi can see it at a glance.

Soon. Helen came over with a cup of hot water. Both hands were handed to Ran Xixi.

"Everybody's working overtime tonight. The planning department next door is the same. ā€

She said with a smile. Tried to chat with Ran Xixi. Ease the tension.

The two of them were chatting. The door to Manager Gao's office suddenly opened. Lu Qinghuan walked out. Almost at the same time. Ran Xixi also quickly got up from the sofa. Put down the water glass. Go straight to them. He also shouted: "Manager Gao." I want to ...... with you."

Lu Qinghuan and Manager Gao were stunned. Didn't seem to expect her to come here.

Between words. Ran Xixi had already rushed to the door of the office out of breath. She propped up the door with one hand. It means you have to go in.

glanced at her. Lu Qinghuan turned around and walked back.

Looked at. Manager Gao had no choice but to follow in. Three mermaids rushed in. The door closed again. Isolated from the countless curious eyes from the outside.

Helen stood by the couch. Also staring at the office window. A few seconds later. She stepped on high heels. Walk back to your seat. Keep working.

Adjusted his breathing. Ran Xixi glanced at Manager Gao, who was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead. She took a deep breath. Straight to the point, he asked, "Manager Gao." Can I ask you. The sketch I gave you earlier. Where are you now. ā€

She didn't go around in circles. Anyway. Wise people don't speak secret words. Beating around the bush is not Ran Xixi's consistent style.

Lu Qinghuan stood aside. Didn't speak.

As soon as I heard Ran Xixi mention the sketch. The cold sweat on Manager Gao's forehead flowed more rapidly. He had a white face. Stammered, "Broken, broken......"

There are shredders in every department. The middle and senior managers at the manager level are equipped with a paper shredder in their own office. For more confidential content. Everyone is running out. With the crushing of the smashed. so as not to leave hidden dangers.

"Shattered. Are you sure. Only the three of us had seen that sketch. I can't say that I'm the only photographer in the world who likes to make sketches before taking pictures. But so similar works. If you hadn't seen the detailed information. It is impossible to describe it in words alone. And. Elements that I added later. The people on the 'Caizi' side were useless. They use all sketches. Manager Gao. I've said so much. You don't get what I mean. ā€

Before. Ran Xixi puts all her mind into taking new photos. Don't bother to investigate the source of the leak. Right now. She had thought of it. It won't hold it in your stomach.

Manager Gao couldn't help but take a step back. He didn't expect it. Ran Xixi is even more menacing than Lu Qinghuan. Lu Qinghuan just came over routinely to ask. And she's got everything figured out. I know that he accidentally lost the sketch.

"I, I...... I really didn't mean to...... By the time I found out that I had lost the sketch. I'm looking everywhere...... I've searched it all over...... I can't remember where I put it......"

He was so scared that he was about to cry. The facial features are wrinkled together. The already small eyes narrowed into a slit at the moment.

"Lost. ā€

Ran Xixi was stunned. Subconsciously looked at Lu Qinghuan. He frowned when he found out. is staring at Manager Gao, who is already extremely embarrassed, with a serious face.

"Where did you lose it. Have you looked for it all in the office? ā€

She looked around. Manager Gao's office is not very large. Let's say. He really just let it go. Then I couldn't find it. Then just look for it. It's still impossible to disappear.

"If you put it in the office. Then things were lost. Then I think it's better to ask the head of the security department to come over. Now the sketch is gone. Who dares to guarantee that later it will not be something more important. ā€

Ran Xixi's eyes burned. There is no ambiguity at all.

Let's talk about it. She was about to pick up the intercom on the desk. Ask someone from the security department to come up.

Ran Xixi hadn't picked up the phone yet. I saw Manager Gao rushing over. One grabbed her hand. With tears in his eyes, he said, "I—I've really looked for it." No ...... I think. Wasn't it when we had dinner together that day. I fell into the restaurant......"

He reminded me. She reacted too.

That. The three of them ate together at the restaurant. And then...... Then I met Secretary Wang. and Yu Youwei.

Could it be...... Could it be that Yu Youwei did it?

Withdrew his hand. Ran Xixi's face became more and more solemn.

Lu Qinghuan, who had never spoken, said in a deep voice: "Okay. Wait until dawn. I went to contact the staff at the restaurant. Retrieve their surveillance cameras. Let's see who picked up that sketch. Manager Gao. Since you are also unintentional. Why we've had several meetings before. You didn't even tell me. Even just now. I ask you personally. You also grit your teeth and don't say anything. Do you know what the consequences are? ā€

The first half of the paragraph. He talked to Ran Xixi. The second half of the paragraph. It is a question to the senior manager.

Manager Gao fell to the ground. Full of panic. He seemed to be so frightened that he was almost speechless.

Finally. He replied dejectedly: "Mr. Law." My wife's company laid off employees last month. She has to take care of the children. Three days and two heads of leave. It's in the first list of layoffs. This kind of time. I'm also afraid of being punished by the company. If only I had been fined. Or lose your job. How can we live as a family of three......"

Ran Xixi and Lu Qinghuan glanced at each other. Both of them had expressions of helplessness.

Although Manager Gao has difficulties in life. But he was not careful. But it has almost caused hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of losses to the company. This responsibility. No matter what, you can't get rid of it.

"The matter has not yet been investigated. I won't punish you for the time being. Wait for the results to come out at the restaurant. I'll think about what to do with it. It's still a few hours before dawn. Can our new product launch be successful this time? We'll see right away. ā€

Let's talk about it. Lu Qinghuan walked out of the office with a step. The head didn't turn back.

Manager Gao was still sitting on the ground. Drooping his head. Cover your head with your hands. A decadent look.

glanced at him. Ran Xixi didn't know what to say. I had to keep up with Lu Qinghuan quickly.

As soon as I saw them come out. Everyone in the cubicle hurriedly lowered their heads. Pretend to work hard. No one dares to take the lead. so as not to be noticed by the big boss. What negative impression to make.

Two people walked out of the advertising department. No one spoke.

It's a little chilly in the hallway. Ran Xixi couldn't help but sneeze. She was afraid of snot spurting out. Hurriedly covered it with his hands. Apologize to Lu Qinghuan in embarrassment.

He took off his coat directly. Drape her.

She was stunned. I felt a little helpless. It's been less than half an hour. Two coats in hand.

"I know. Even if I let you go back and rest. You won't say yes either. Or. You and I go back to the office. I have a small bed there. I slept there occasionally when I was working overtime. You go and squint for a while, too. ā€

Lu Qinghuan asked softly.

"No need. You said it too. It's almost dawn. The people I'm looking for will be there in a moment. None of them are professionally trained. Definitely nervous. I'll have to spend a little more time with them. ā€

Ran Xixi shook his head. In fact, she was not sure in her heart.

A few hours to rush out of the program. Is it really comparable to ten days and half a month of hard work? The answer, of course, is no. If it is done overnight, it is really stronger than the cantilever thorn strand. Then there will be no hard-working people in this world at all.

So. She had been silently telling herself. Don't ask for merit. But ask for no fault. Now. Most importantly. Get through this one. And. It's without God knowing. Because outsiders don't know it yet. The undercurrents of these two cosmetics companies are surging.

"Don't worry. ā€

Words. In the end, it can only be reduced to these three words.

Lu Qinghuan has been pretending that nothing happened. Pretended not to see her and Zhan Xingchuan standing downstairs. She was draped in his coat. The two of them didn't do anything excessive. But. That image stuck in his mind for a long time. Lingering.

"I guess. It was made by Yu Youwei. ā€

Ran Xixi is almost 100% sure of this. They went in a hurry. Manager Gao lands the sketch on the dining table. It's also very possible. And she took the opportunity to take the sheep.

He placed a hand on her shoulder. He said softly, "I'll leave this matter to me." You don't have to worry about it anymore. ā€

She nodded. I always feel like this night. It's a heart-pounding length.
