Chapter 48 Why is it him?
Mu Nanyan discovered that, apart from knowing that the designs were hers, she had no other evidence to prove it. Was she going to have to swallow this loss alone? And was she even accused of falsely accusing a colleague?
Seeing that Mu Nanyan was silent and seemed unable to answer, everyone's attitude towards the matter changed, as if they had trusted the wrong person. They had known Chen Wenyue for a longer time, and Chen Wenyue had never plagiarized. Mu Nanyan had only been in the company for half a month, and everyone didn't know much about her character and style. It was possible that she was turning the tables on them.
Everyone followed Chen Wenyue's train of thought and found that what she said made sense. There was no need for Chen Wenyue to plagiarize Mu Nanyan. The reason why Chen Wenyue's design was not as good as Mu Nanyan's was probably because it was her first time trying this style and she was not used to it, so it was normal for her to perform poorly.
The situation suddenly reached a deadlock, and no one knew who to trust. Finally, the design director Liu Dahai spoke up.
"Alright, I'll report this to the higher-ups. Today's match results won't count. I'll announce the results again after I've thoroughly investigated them. Everyone, get back to work."
Everyone knew that even if the result changed, they would not have a chance, so they all went out to work seriously.
Just as Mu Nanyan and Chen Wenyue were about to leave, Liu Dahai stopped them.
"Wait a moment, you two, come with me to see the president."
Mu Nanyan has been in the company for so long, but she still doesn't know what the boss looks like. She didn't expect that the first time she met the president would be because of plagiarism. She felt a little complicated.
Mu Nanyan and Chen Wenyue followed Liu Dahai to the president's office on the top floor.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Enter."
A deep, deep voice answered them. Liu Dahai pushed open the door of the president's office. Mu Nanyan and Chen Wenyue walked in and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the president's office chair, signing a document. The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the voice and saw three people walking in. He asked:
"What's the matter?"
Liu Dahai replied respectfully:
"Mr. Shang, today is the day the design department finalizes the design for the new fall products. Originally, the design for today's new product has been finalized, but something happened and we still need your final decision."
"What happened?"
"This is Mu Nanyan, our intern designer who just started her internship at the company. She said that Chen Wenyue, an intermediate designer, stole her design draft. The design draft Chen Wenyue submitted was the discarded draft she had lost before."
“Plagiarism?”
Shang Zikun's expression turned serious. Plagiarism and theft were taboos in their design industry, and yet such a thing actually happened in his company. He looked at Chen Wenyue and said,
"What do you want to say?"
Chen Wenyue said confidently:
"I want to sue her for false accusation. I drew that design myself. I've been working in the company for so many years. Why would I steal her design? She's just an intern. What's so special about it that I would steal it?"
Shang Zikun felt that what Chen Wenyue said made some sense. He looked at Mu Nanyan and said:
"Do you have evidence that she stole your design?"
Mu Nanyan clenched her fists, stared at Chen Wenyue, and said through gritted teeth:
"No."
When Chen Wenyue heard this, he was very happy. This time, Mu Nanyan was bound to suffer a loss. She actually dared to offend me. Just wait and see how I will deal with you after this matter is over.
Shang Zikun felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle. The two people insisted on their own opinions, and there was no evidence. How could this be resolved? He supported his forehead with both hands, rubbing his temples, and was thinking about the problem.
"Dad, what happened?"
At this moment, a clear and loud voice sounded. Mu Nanyan felt somewhat familiar with the voice. She turned her head and saw Shang Yu wearing a gray sportswear.
"Why is it him?"
Mu Nanyan recognized the man in front of her. He was the man she met on Saturday when she went to buy a car. The man also saw her and greeted her:
"Nan Yan, we meet again. I saw your car when I parked it just now. I thought I had made a mistake. It turns out you work at my dad's company."
Shang Yu spoke in a very warm tone, as if they had known each other for a long time. Chen Wenyue was stunned watching from the side. Mu Nanyan actually knew the president's son?
"How did he know my name?"
Mu Nanyan had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask, she just smiled at him. Shang Zikun looked at his son and felt that he would not come to the temple for no reason.
"Why did you come to the company suddenly?"
"Is it okay that I can't come see you? What just happened?"
Shang Yu directly changed the subject. Seeing this, Liu Dahai briefly explained the matter again.
"Nan Yan said her design draft was lost. Why don't we check the surveillance footage and see who took it?"
When Chen Wenyue heard the word "surveillance", her face turned pale. She had actually forgotten about this matter. If this person had not come, this matter today would have been forgotten. This Mu Nanyan was really resourceful. She actually got close to Mr. Shang's son.
"Yeah, I actually forgot about this. Director Liu, take them to check the surveillance. Shang Yu and Mu Nanyan are friends, so go with them. I'll leave this matter to you. I have something else to do here."
"Okay, Dad, leave this matter to me, you just work hard."
After saying that, Shang Yu took the three of them out and went to the monitoring room together.
"Nan Yan, do you know when your design draft was lost?"
"I left it on my desk after get off work last Monday, but it was gone when I got to the office the next day."
"Okay, then let's check the surveillance footage from last Monday after get off work."
As Shang Yu finished speaking, the monitor started working on the computer and quickly pulled up the surveillance footage from that afternoon. Chen Wenyue also leaned over to take a look. She had found her design on the ground, and she didn't know what had happened. Could someone have done this on purpose? Was it to harm her?
In the video, Mu Nanyan did put a few drawings on her desk when she got off work. The picture was too small and it was difficult to see what was on it. Then Mu Nanyan left the office. The following pictures were kept at double speed. No one went to Mu Nanyan's desk until almost half past six when the cleaning lady came to clean. She opened the window next to Mu Nanyan's desk, wiped the glass outside, cleaned up the garbage on the floor and left without touching anything on Mu Nanyan's desk.
Not long after the aunt left, the drawings on Mu Nanyan's desk were blown to the ground by the wind outside and floated to the other side of the aisle. At around seven o'clock, Chen Wenyue returned to the company. She picked up the drawings on the ground and returned to her desk. The scene ended here.
