She must work hard in this additional test so that she can clear her name.
"Fairy Tale, do you want to go out to dinner with us?"
The voice came from behind Tonghua. She turned around and saw that it was Su Xiaomo and two other colleagues.
On weekdays, her relationship with Su Xiaomo was not very good, and they could only be considered ordinary colleagues.
I didn't expect that she would invite me to have dinner together today.
This is really strange.
"Okay, let's go."
Tonghua agreed immediately, thinking that maybe she could find out something if she went out with them.
On the contrary, if you refuse, others might say that you are hiding away because you are afraid of being accused of plagiarism.
The four of them found a restaurant downstairs and sat down. They each ordered their favorite set meal. This way of ordering made it more convenient for everyone to pay for their own meals.
Tonghua ordered a rice bowl with egg and braised pork.
The waiter quickly brought out the set meals they ordered.
The green vegetables paired with the secret sauce look delicious.
Just as Tonghua was about to enjoy her lunch, Su Xiaomo spoke up: "Tonghua, are you going to have an interview this afternoon?"
As she expected, it started.
Tonghua put down the spoon and answered her calmly: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Su Xiaomo pretended to be hesitant and said, "Aren't you worried about failing the interview?"
"I'm well prepared and have nothing to worry about."
But when these words came out, the other two people laughed.
Fairy Tale didn't understand: "What's so funny?"
Another female colleague came forward curiously and said, "I heard you were involved in this plagiarism case~"
The male colleague couldn't sit still anymore: "This plagiarism incident has caused such a big stir, you must be aware of it, right?"
Knowing they were testing her, Tonghua remained unconcerned and scooped a mouthful of rice with sauce: "I know how, but what does it matter if I don't know?"
Su Xiaomo spoke slowly, her tone filled with malice: "Then do you know who the other person in the plagiarism incident is?"
This is very interesting.
The company had originally kept the names of the two people involved in the plagiarism incident confidential, and no one knew who they were. Now the only one who knows who the other person is is the plagiarist. After all, he definitely knows whose plan he copied.
This is just short of saying that she is a plagiarist.
She put down the spoon in her hand and looked intently at Su Xiaomo, who was pretending to be innocent. "You'll have to ask the plagiarist about this. He knows it best. Since you want to know who it is, just wait and see the results of the evaluation this afternoon."
She stood up and said to the three of them, "Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he left without even looking at the expressions of the three of them.
On the way back, Tonghua tried hard to calm herself down. She had to attend an interview in the afternoon and couldn't let this affect her state.
Maybe the plagiarist hiding in the dark spread these rumors deliberately in order to affect her performance in the game and cause her to perform poorly.
She couldn't afford to fall into its trap.
It’s a pity that she didn’t eat many bites of the braised pork rice as it really affected her appetite.
It seems that I can only eat a few bites of bread to fill my stomach when I get back.
After finishing his bread in a few bites, Tonghua turned on the computer and found the planning proposal.
According to her personal habit, she copied a copy to a USB drive before submitting the plan.
Although she was already very familiar with the plan she had made, she still had to review all the contents of the plan in advance just in case.
Of course, she wasn't the only one who thought this way.
Now some people have returned to the office to prepare for the afternoon interview.
Apart from the two people involved in the plagiarism incident, others are more concerned about whether they can get the project this time.
After all, who wouldn’t be tempted by such a huge bonus?
Busy times always pass quickly. There is still half an hour left until three o'clock in the afternoon.
Tonghua quickly browsed through all the plans and looked at her phone. It was almost three o'clock.
She rubbed her stiff shoulders and looked around.
The other colleagues were also preparing for the interview and were getting excited.
In order to relieve fatigue and attend the interview in the most energetic state, Tonghua decided to go to the tea room and have a cup of coffee.
She took the cup and went to the tea room. As she walked, she found someone following her.
She turned sideways and saw that it was Xia Zihao.
Xia Zihao took two or three steps forward and said to Tonghua, "Are you going to get the coffee too? We can go together."
After saying that, he walked side by side with Tonghua.
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Sure enough, he spoke: "Tonghua, you will have an interview in front of the director soon. Aren't you afraid?"
"Scared? Why should you be scared? Did you come here just to tell me this?"
His expression choked as if he hadn't expected Tong Hua to say that.
He lowered his voice and said to Tonghua, "Are you really not afraid of being fired from the company?"
Although it was not stated explicitly, the implication seemed to confirm that she was the one who plagiarized.
Tonghua took the initiative and curled his lips: "I'm actually very curious, who is spreading rumors about me being involved in the plagiarism incident?"
Not noticing Tonghua's expression was off, Xia Zihao winked and said, "I heard it from others too. If you're scared, you can seek comfort from me. We're colleagues after all."
After saying that, he was about to reach out his hand to touch Tonghua. Tonghua quickened his pace and pretended to take the coffee.
Xia Zihao didn't think much about it and followed.
She started chattering again: "If you get fired from the company, I can consider having you as my girlfriend. Women are meant to stay at home and do the laundry and cooking. Why would you run out and compete with men for jobs?"
Tonghua rudely retorted, "I'm so sorry. I really need to reflect on what I've done wrong. How could you have taken a fancy to me? And since my work ability is not as good as women's, I'm thinking of sending all the women home. I'm really like a clown."
Xia Zihao was furious and pointed at Tonghua. "You?! Humph, you're quite a talker, little girl. If I weren't kind-hearted, who would bother with you?"
"I don't want your attention!"
"Hmph, let's wait and see."
After Xia Zihao left, the expression on Tonghua's face was not as tough as what she had just said.
After a day of this, wherever she went, people gossiped about her behind her back. During dinner, her colleagues accused her of plagiarism, both openly and secretly. Now, someone actually came out and said that she had lost her job and it was an honor for her that he liked her.
All of this was too magical, and her suppressed emotions were almost reaching their limit.
