The huge office area suddenly became quiet.
Yan Shitong was so shocked by her words that she was at a loss, her face was at a loss, her mouth was trembling, "Photos...what photos?"
"Are you still pretending? The photo in the Tianxuan worker group was posted from your account. What are your intentions?"
Ning Weiwei's serious words and her consideration for her at every turn left Meng Sheng stunned.
Upon hearing this, Yan Shitong quickly took out her phone and opened the group chat. She scrolled through the records and became more and more frightened. "Director, Director, this is not me. I didn't..."
Meng Sheng asked coldly, "But this photo was indeed posted from your account. How do you explain it?"
"I... I don't know. I really don't know. Director, I have never taken such a photo. If you don't believe me, you can look at my photo album. In my photo album..."
Ning Weiwei interrupted her, her voice rising a few notches, "If you don't know, then who knows? This isn't a screenshot, it can be faked, we are all watching, or did someone hack into your account and deliberately post this photo?"
"I...I...I...I really don't know."
Yan Shitong was speechless and tears were streaming down her face in anxiety.
Meng Sheng frowned and asked, "Did you go to the display group around four o'clock in the afternoon?"
Yan Shitong wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes, I went. I went with Team Leader Ning and Xiaoxiao."
"You came back together?"
"No, Team Leader Ning had something to discuss with Team Leader Yang from the Display Group. Xiaoxiao had to go to the exhibition hall on the first floor, and I needed to print some exhibition albums and archives for Exhibition Area B, so I separated from her at Elevator No. 2."
Ning Weiwei on the side was nervous and was surprised by Meng Sheng's calmness.
She was worried that Meng Sheng and Yan Shitong would be a couple and once the truth was revealed, not only would all their efforts be wasted, but it would also be troublesome if they caught her.
"Shengsheng, don't be too angry. Shitong is still young. She is just gossiping. She has no ill intentions." She interrupted at the right time and turned back to wink at Yan Shitong, "Why don't you come over and apologize to the curator?"
Yan Shitong was already panicking and irrational. She didn't realize the trap in her words, so she subconsciously took two steps towards Meng Sheng. However, just as she was about to take a step, Meng Sheng raised his hand to stop her.
Meng Sheng was really disappointed with her and was also annoyed by Ning Weiwei's interference.
She is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated at will.
She has to be taught a lesson.
"Does that mean you admit that you posted that photo?"
Yan Shitong was stunned for a moment, and even forgot about the tears. "Ah? I didn't, it wasn't me... Director."
Meng Sheng sneered, and his cold gaze fell from Yan Shitong to Ning Weiwei's face and stayed there for a few seconds.
"It seems that Cheng Xue's incident still hasn't taught you a lesson! Yisheng Art Museum won't tolerate people who spread rumors and mislead the public. I, Meng Sheng, am aboveboard and I dare to take responsibility for my actions! If someone insists on throwing dirty water on me, then they should weigh their own bones first and get rid of those dirty thoughts as soon as possible. Don't blame me for being merciless if I catch you once!"
Ning Weiwei was frightened by her gaze.
He gritted his teeth and unconsciously looked away, not wanting to meet her gaze.
Yan Shitong cried and explained, "Director, I really didn't take that photo, I don't know..."
But before he could finish his words, Qiao Na came over and nodded to Meng Sheng, "Director, the surveillance camera in the corridor over there has been handcuffed. From 4:13 to 4:23, a total of five staff members passed by during this time period. The location where the photo was taken is a blind spot for the surveillance camera."
"In addition, the four surveillance cameras in the office area did not show anyone approaching Yan Shitong's workstation."
Ning Weiwei raised her eyebrows barely noticeably.
This is now conclusive evidence.
She breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to speak for Yan Shitong, "Shengsheng, don't be angry. I'm a magnanimous person. Give Shitong another chance. Her internship period hasn't even ended yet. Besides... our team is really short of people. Cheng Xue just left. If another one leaves, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Meng Sheng glanced at her, and after a few seconds, he smiled, "Okay, since Team Leader Ning is so generous, I will be magnanimous and not make a fuss about it. Since you are too busy, I will ask someone to help you."
"Ning Weiwei, the head of the curatorial group B, failed to keep a strict control over her subordinates. During the period when the museum was hosting an important exhibition, her subordinates caused troubles one after another and she was unable to handle the situation. From today on, she will be dismissed as the head of the group and Yun Jia from group A will serve as the acting head of group B."
After that, she looked at Qiao Na beside her and said, "Send the notice of position adjustment today."
Qiao Na recovered from her shock and said, "Yes, I understand."
Ning Weiwei's whole body stiffened, and she looked at Meng Sheng with surprise and disbelief.
She originally just wanted to stir up the fire, but she never expected that the fire would burn herself.
For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating.
But Yun Jia, who had somehow found a bargain, stood there in a daze, somewhat incredulous, but soon, joy and excitement flashed in his eyes.
It turns out that promotions and salary increases happen at these outrageous moments!
Meng Sheng returned to the office, checked the time, and had no plans to work overtime, so he packed up his things, took his coat and bag, and left the office.
When they reached the elevator, Ning Weiwei hurried over and asked, "Weiwei, what you just said was a joke, right? I..."
Meng Sheng interrupted her, "Why would I joke with you?"
"But……"
"If I don't do this and let this trend continue, then tomorrow someone will say that you destroyed my marriage with Shang Boyu and that you are a mistress. Should we believe it or not?"
Ning Weiwei's throat choked, her eyes flickered, and she was speechless for a moment.
After Meng Sheng entered the elevator, she clenched her fists, stomped her feet angrily, turned to the bathroom, and called Shang Boyu.
At that time, Shang Boyu was dealing with colleagues in the company's office.
He picked up the phone and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
"Honey, Meng Sheng demoted me." Ning Weiwei's sweet and soft voice was filled with tears.
Shang Boyu was stunned for a moment and stopped what he was doing. "What's going on?"
Ning sniffed slightly and said aggrievedly, "A colleague in my group posted a photo of Shengsheng and Lawyer Pei in the group chat. They looked quite intimate. Didn't this cause misunderstanding between us? Shengsheng got angry and I tried to persuade her. She said that I didn't discipline my subordinates and let other people take my position as team leader."
"Lawyer Pei?!" Shang Boyu grasped the key point, "Which Lawyer Pei?"
"It was Lawyer Pei whom I met at the school anniversary celebration. Pei Sui is very famous in Beijing." Ning Weiwei said innocently, "I'll send you the photo."
She didn't hang up the phone, and sent the photo, including the chat interface in the group, to Shang Boyu.
"Take a look." As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something. "Don't get me wrong. Shengsheng has already explained it. Although I don't know why she knows Lawyer Pei, and I haven't heard her explain why she and Lawyer Pei met in a place where no one was around, I have known Shengsheng for so many years, and I can still vouch for her character."
Shang Boyu enlarged the photo and carefully observed their blurred facial expressions. His eyes darkened and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
