Chapter 119 I Want to Check It Myself
Investigate the truth
He recalled that when the elevator broke down, his cell phone and folder were thrown out, and the folder was thrown to a corner, spreading out all over the place.
He knew that every elevator of ET. was equipped with at least one surveillance camera, so as long as he got the surveillance video, it would be enough to prove his innocence.
But according to company regulations, only managers are eligible to apply for monitoring, and he is just an intern and it is impossible for him to see it.
For a moment, Chi Dong fell into confusion, with his mind in a mess.
He followed the crowd aimlessly into the elevator until the people inside had left one after another and the elevator stopped moving. Then he suddenly woke up, hurriedly pressed a floor number, and walked out after the door opened.
Chi Dong had never been to this floor before. What he didn't expect was that it was unexpectedly beautiful and different from ordinary office floors. It not only had a balcony, but also a huge exhibition hall.
He walked towards the balcony with heavy steps, slowly stopped in front of the glass door, gently placed his right hand on the door handle, and pushed the door open without thinking.
A breeze blew towards him, blowing his hair in front of his forehead. He sat on a nearby chair, feeling the coolness brought by the autumn wind, unconsciously lowering his eyes, clasping his fingers together, with a hint of fatigue and confusion in his eyes.
He didn't know what to do now.
However, what Chi Dong didn't know was that the floor he was on was originally used to display all the action figures, peripherals, character models and other related items of the company's published games. It was open 24 hours a day and all company employees could visit.
But in order to allow Qianli to have a quiet place to relax in his spare time and not think about exploiting his employees, especially him, Jiang Ying arranged for people to design and build an extra sky garden, and only a few people had the entry key.
It was lunchtime, and no one would choose this time to visit the exhibition hall, so it was very quiet. Chi Dong was able to open the balcony door because Jiang Ying sneaked in this morning to meet Han Yun, but received a call from his assistant about an emergency meeting, and left in a hurry without locking the door.
Chi Dong sat there in a daze, the hem of his oversized shirt lifted slightly by the wind. It was still some time before work, and he was hesitating whether to find Manager Liu and ask her to help apply for surveillance.
Perhaps it was because the environment here was too beautiful, or perhaps it was the gentle breeze on his face, a strong sleepiness quietly came over him, and slowly, he closed his eyes, leaned slightly on the back of the chair, and fell asleep.
The warm light shone through the trees onto his fair and handsome face, and even the fine hairs were clearly visible. Perhaps he was hiding something, as his sleeping posture showed an uneasy state. The corners of his mouth were unconsciously pursed, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his hands were tightly clutching his black-framed glasses.
This was the scene that came into view before Bu Qianli’s eyes.
He didn't expect to see Chi Dong here, and he was still sleeping. Bu Qianli couldn't help but stop and ponder for a moment. Then he lightly lifted his steps and walked over slowly.
He was worried that he would catch a cold if he slept here in late winter. After all, the transition from summer to autumn is a time when people are prone to getting sick.
Chidong's sleeping posture was very straight and well-behaved. He was leaning quietly against the chair with his head slightly tilted to one side. His hair was blowing in the wind. His eyes were tightly closed, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids.
Looking at this familiar pair of eyes and eyebrows, a blurry picture suddenly flashed through Bu Qianli's mind. Before he could think it through, Chi Dong, who was half asleep and half awake, noticed something was wrong and slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you awake?"
Hearing this, Chi Dong looked over in a daze. When he saw that the person sitting next to him was Bu Qianli, he stood up suddenly and cried out in surprise.
"Senior?"
Bu Qianli curled her lips and chuckled, "Why? Are you so surprised to see me?"
"Senior, why are you here?" Chi Dong didn't expect to meet him here. He didn't have the time to thank him for the elevator incident yesterday, but he ran into him by chance today.
Seeing his panic, Bu Qianli's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said calmly, "I come here to sit sometimes. Why, do you think it's strange?"
"No, it's not strange. I just think it's a coincidence." Chi Dong stood there in a daze. The last bit of sleepiness he had left disappeared without a trace the moment he saw Bu Qianli.
"Sit down and let's talk." Bu Qianli patted the chair, signaling him not to be nervous.
Chi Dong's heart suddenly shrank when he heard this, and his ears were instantly filled with the sound of his own panicked heartbeat. He subconsciously sat a little further away from Bu Qianli, with a look of nervousness and anxiety in his eyes.
Although he didn't know why he was so nervous, maybe it was because he felt guilty about his crime? After all, he had just entered the company when he suddenly ran into trouble and lost his documents.
Bu Qianli took a look and felt a little puzzled by his sudden behavior of keeping a distance. She also couldn't help feeling unhappy, but she quickly suppressed this emotion.
Before seeing him here, Bu Qianli had already learned the cause of the matter from Chen Lian.
Although they didn't know each other well enough, the time they spent together was enough for him to understand Chi Dong's character. He seemed weak and docile and easily bullied, but in fact he was stubborn and unyielding and always stood firm on his bottom line.
Therefore, Bu Qianli did not think that he would do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself.
When Chen Lian reported the matter to him, he was just coming out of the conference room. It was not convenient for him to be present at the event, so he asked Chen Lian to investigate the matter thoroughly and report back to him.
The main reason he came to the small garden was because Jiang Ying and Bu Yan had been bothering him in the office. In order to avoid them, he came here.
However, he did not expect to meet other people here, and this person was Chi Dong whom he had just met yesterday.
"I already know what happened in the Operations Department." Bu Qianli didn't beat around the bush and looked directly at Chi Dong with a probing look that he couldn't understand.
Chi Dong's eyes suddenly widened, and he was extremely anxious. His voice was trembling and anxious when he explained, "Senior, no, President Bu, I am really not sent by other companies. I have never done anything to harm the interests of the company."
His brows were tightly wrinkled, his cheeks were flushed with anxiety, and his lips were even a little chapped from not drinking water for a long time.
He explained the whole story clearly, and then continued, "But I am also responsible for what happened. I shouldn't have handed the documents to others so easily. I'm sorry, Mr. Bu. It's my fault."
Chi Dong took a deep breath, straightened his back, and his expression slowly calmed down. He looked directly into Bu Qianli's eyes honestly, and his voice was steady and clear.
"...Don't call me President Bu. It's break time now. Just call me Senior as before. Also, I don't mean to doubt you."
Seeing his anxious face, Bu Qianli couldn't help but slightly curl up a smile, and the smile in her eyes spread like ripples. Those deep and charming eyes always made people want to get closer.
"I believe you won't do such a thing." Bu Qianli said, while reaching out and gently patting his shoulder, as if to comfort him. "Although I am your boss, I am also your senior, so you don't have to worry."
Hearing this, Chi Dong's heart slowly settled down, his originally locked brows relaxed, and the expression on his face changed from tense to relieved.
"Thank you for trusting me, Senior."
Bu Qianli chuckled: "Don't worry, I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let you suffer injustice for no reason."
Chi Dong hesitated for a few seconds, "Senior, I have a request."
"Hmm? Go ahead."
"Since the incident started with me, I want to investigate the truth myself." Chi Dong wanted to know who was targeting him behind the scenes. After all, he was just a small intern and could not block the way of others.
After hearing his words, Bu Qianli did not speak immediately, but lowered his eyes and thought for a while. In his opinion, this matter was not a simple matter of tit-for-tat and malicious slander between employees.
He suspected that someone else was behind this.
If he agreed to let Chi Dong investigate, he was worried that something unexpected would happen.
Bu Qianli leaned slightly, so that her eyes were level with Chi Dong's, "What do you want to do?"
Chi Dong said with determination, "I would like to apply for permission to view the surveillance."
The surveillance method is indeed good, but as far as Bu Qianli knows, the cameras on some floors malfunctioned last night, including the 24th floor.
However, due to the elevator incident last night, the Logistics Department and the Security Department were trembling with fear the whole night. For this reason, they repaired the problems with the elevator and the camera overnight and tested them more than ten times. After confirming that they were safe, they hurried home to rest before the sun rose.
As for the repaired video, it will not have all the scenes that happened last night. Even if I go to Japan, it will be a waste of time and the loss will not be worth it.
Bu Qianli reminded: "Some of the company's cameras have problems, and it is estimated that they did not capture the scene you want."
"Senior, actually... what I want to apply for is backup surveillance." Chi Dong pursed his lips tightly, and looked at Bu Qianli who was sitting not far away from him, hesitantly. His fingers unconsciously stroked the corner of his clothes, again and again, and that slight movement revealed his inner uneasiness.
Bu Qianli paused for a moment. His eyes, originally as dark as ink, showed some ripples at this moment. His sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned, "Backup monitoring."
How did Chi Dong know this?
Only management knows that the company has backup surveillance. The purpose is to ensure the continuity of surveillance video in case of failure of the main surveillance equipment and to use it as data backup.
Therefore, during the later renovation, Bu Qianli specially asked Jiang Ying to find another group of masters to install backup routes. Very few people knew about this. How did Chi Dong know about it?
"Who told you?"
Chi Dong was startled by his serious tone, and his body suddenly froze, a little at a loss, "I, I heard Manager Liu mention this in her office when she was on the phone with someone else. Is there any problem?"
"... Yeah, it's okay, I got it." Bu Qianli frowned slightly, the light outlined the light and dark contours on his profile. He sat upright, his legs naturally crossed, and his slender and bony hands casually rested on his knees.
"I promise you that you will be responsible for this matter. Chen Lian will contact you later. You can contact him anytime if you have any questions."
Bu Qianli did not mention to him that he had already arranged for people to investigate. Since the person concerned wanted to investigate it himself and did not want to use someone else, he could give him this opportunity.
His words instantly lit up Chi Dong's eyes, like fireworks in the night sky, so bright that one can't take their eyes away, "Thank you, senior."
Bu Qianli's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes. It seemed that his junior fellow student was not the kind of person who needed to rely on others all the time. He suddenly began to look forward to what kind of person Chi Dong would grow up to be.
