Hearing Lu Zheng's reprimand, Qiao Zhen could only nod.
"Okay, she gave me that milk tea today. How about I give it to you, and then you can help me test what's in it?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Don't come any closer, I'll come find you."
Only about ten minutes had passed between the end of their call and Lu Zheng meeting Qiao Zhen.
After coming down from the main road, Qiao Zhen looked at Lu Zheng, who was already standing in front of her waiting, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
How can you be so fast?
"I have something urgent to take care of. Give me the milk tea, I need to go and deal with it."
Lu Zheng quickly took the milk tea from Qiao Zhen and drove away.
Qiao Zhen watched the car speed away, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
After she returned to the company, Su Ning, who was next to her, asked with a gossipy look on her face.
"Hey sis, who's that guy driving that luxury car next to you? I've never seen him at the company before. Is he your boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen twitched the corner of her mouth and replied perfunctorily, "We're just ordinary friends. Don't overthink it. I'm single now."
Perhaps it was because Lu Zheng's words had an effect; he didn't want to explain too much to Su Ning right now, but just wanted to figure out this part of the matter as soon as possible.
"All right……"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen could only bite her lip reluctantly, then looked at Qiao Zhen's face with some resentment.
"I thought that handsome guy was your boyfriend. In that case, I'm in for a treat."
Qiao Zhen just smiled and didn't want to explain too much to her.
She glanced at her watch again; it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and the project team meeting was about to begin.
Holding the project folder tightly, she couldn't help feeling nervous. She had prepared for this project for a long time and had put a lot of effort into it.
I won't let Mom down with this project.
"The Hope Primary School project planning team is coming in for a meeting."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen quickly went inside, and soon all the members of the group had arrived.
After everyone had arrived, the project leader began to speak to himself.
"Now I will begin to introduce this project to everyone. I will use a PowerPoint presentation. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
After he finished speaking, the project leader started fiddling with the computer, preparing to put the PPT file on.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt uneasy.
If the project team leader and I use the same document format for promotion, won't there be unconscious comparisons later on?
While still struggling with her decision, Qiao Zhen saw the project leader's PowerPoint presentation start playing on the big screen.
"Okay, here is the content of the PPT. Hope Primary School is located in..."
The project leader began his enthusiastic introduction, and as Qiao Zhen looked at the content on the big screen, her face grew paler and paler.
If she wasn't mistaken, the project leader had stolen her PPT content, it could even be described as an exact copy, without even changing a single punctuation mark.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little angry, but when she looked around, she found that there weren't many people around, and no one who could keep things in check.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but secretly send a message to Gu Xijue: "Come to my office for a moment, something has happened here."
After sending the text message, Qiao Zhen waited anxiously for Gu Xijue's arrival.
"Okay, that concludes my PowerPoint presentation. Does anyone have any further questions?"
In the afternoon, the team leader looked at everyone gently, but his gaze lingered on Qiao Zhen for a long time.
Qiao Zhen was suddenly enraged by her gaze and couldn't help but stand up, speaking to her neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Team leader, this is a PPT I spent all day working on yesterday. It's not appropriate for you to just use it without making any changes today. After all, it's my hard work. Please respect my efforts."
Unexpectedly, the supervisor laughed with great pride after hearing this.
"Ms. Qiao, what evidence do you have to prove that you made this PPT by yourself? It was clearly a joint effort between the two of us, and it also includes my skills and ideas. Please don't attribute all the credit to yourself, okay?"
Listening to the team leader's confusing remarks, Qiao Zhen was completely speechless. Just then, Gu Xijue suddenly opened the office door and came to Qiao Zhen, panting slightly.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Gu Xijue glanced at Qiao Zhen with great concern, then looked around, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Mr. Gu, this PPT is something that Ms. Qiao and I made together. It represents the hard work of both of us."
The supervisor preemptively spoke, and after finishing, he gave her a smug look.
Qiao Zhen, of course, was not afraid and said confidently, "I searched for information online and compared it one by one for this PPT. I can completely recite the contents of the PPT."
Listening to the two sides sticking to their own versions of events, Gu Xijue was caught in a dilemma; he couldn't completely trust either of them.
"Since Ms. Gu can't provide any evidence that you made this PPT, then please don't disturb our project progress report, okay? After all, everyone's time is precious, and we all have our own tasks to do."
The project team leader outwardly feigned great concern, but the smugness in his eyes deeply stung Qiao Zhen's heart.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen had a sudden inspiration, quickly went up on stage, and then said with a smile.
