Chapter 877: Didn’t Last a Single Round
With a look, he signaled Yu Hong and Min Qiaoqiao to follow him into the office.
Lu Miao sat down at the table and left the two of them alone for a while.
After the paperwork was assigned, Yu Hong was about to take the document down to distribute it when Lu Miao held the document down and slowly spoke:
"Which of you two went to get the videotape from the editing room yesterday?"
She looked at Min Qiaoqiao and asked this question, obviously asking even though she knew the answer.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Hong and Min Qiaoqiao swallowed their saliva at the same time.
They all lowered their heads guiltily.
However, they are not guilty about the same thing.
The two men stood in the same posture, their hands tangled together, looking timid, and neither of them spoke.
The office was eerily quiet.
Xi Lufeng, who was sitting at the small desk opposite, also cast his gaze over.
But it doesn't matter.
Lu Miao would not moderate his tone or attitude just because there were any bystanders at the scene.
Yu Hong and Min Qiaoqiao didn't say anything.
Strike the snake at its weakest point, Lu Miao said coldly, holding the commanding position:
"Is this job still doable? If not, replace someone as soon as possible!"
It's a matter of life and death. She had finally been transferred to the third floor and she couldn't lose her job so easily.
Yu Hong couldn't hold it in any longer, so she took the lead and stepped forward, admitting her mistake.
"Senior, it's me..."
Lu Miao looked at Yu Hong, his eyes suddenly sharp with a hint of warning:
"Think it through, is that you?"
She is usually the easiest person to talk to, but now she is intimidating without even getting angry. Her aura is fierce, and her sense of pressure is not inferior to that of other senior members of the club.
Yu Hong was under great pressure and stuttered for a moment before she could only speak truthfully:
"I should be the one to go, but, but Comrade Min said he would help me, so..."
Lu Miao asked directly: "This is your job, why do you want her to help you? You can't do it yourself."
“…”
Yu Hong lowered her head, too ashamed to know what to say.
She was also embarrassed by the situation yesterday.
She said she didn't need it, but Min Qiaoqiao kept saying she would get it for her and ran very fast.
She chased for two steps, but when she didn't catch up, she gave up.
But how do I say this?
It feels like I'm shirking responsibility no matter what I say.
She lowered her head and said nothing, so Lu Miao turned his gaze to Min Qiaoqiao again.
Min Qiaoqiao avoided her gaze and didn't dare to look her in the eye. Lu Miao intuitively felt that there was something wrong with her.
But I still said a few words according to the process:
"You're Comrade Xi's assistant. Didn't he assign you any tasks? You're so idle, why would you run errands for others?"
Min Qiaoqiao explained quietly, "...Assistant Yu was sorting documents at the time, and I saw she was busy, so I helped out out of kindness."
Out of kindness?
OK.
Lu Miao snorted with a forced smile.
Skip the tangles and just ask them how they would handle it:
"This videotape doesn't include the early recordings. The editing room spent nearly three months editing it. Now there's a problem. They say it was sabotaged, and the later parts are completely unusable."
"So...please tell me now, how should we handle this matter? Which of you two will take responsibility?"
Yu Hong suddenly looked up.
She felt guilty just now, but what made Yu Hong feel guilty was that it was a job that she should have done, but she let someone else do it instead.
Yu Hong knew that she would most likely be criticized.
But she never thought that something like this would happen in the middle.
The tape was actually destroyed...
Yu Hong turned her head and looked at Min Qiaoqiao in disbelief.
Although panicked, Yu Hong still felt a little confident.
She made a mistake, but the problem with the tape wasn't her fault.
Then the big mistake shouldn't be attributed to her...
Moreover, this is man-made destruction!
Min Qiaoqiao, how dare you! ?
Yu Hong looked at Min Qiaoqiao in surprise.
Lu Miao also looked at Min Qiaoqiao.
The conversation turned to Min Qiaoqiao, and Xi Lufeng's gaze naturally shifted to her.
Min Qiaoqiao clenched her hands and mustered up the courage to look Lu Miao in the eye.
But she couldn't resist the sharpness of Lu Miao's gaze, and her momentum suddenly weakened a lot.
She simply murmured in a weak tone:
"I didn't... I went to get the videotape, but I don't know why this happened. I really don't know..."
Lu Miao knocked lightly on the table:
"You took the tape. Yesterday, from the editing room to the projection room, it only passed through your hands and the projectionist's. It was either you or him."
Min Qiaoqiao's eyes flickered, and she immediately said:
"Maybe it's the projectionist's fault..."
Min Qiaoqiao bit her lip and continued in a low voice:
"Even if the Director doesn't like me, there's no need to target me like this!"
Lu Miao smiled.
There's no need to put such a label on her.
She raised her eyebrows jokingly and said:
"Is this targeting you? There's a possibility between you two, but why would I suspect you? Others may not know, but don't you know?"
Min Qiaoqiao opened her lips, her nerves tense, and she suddenly fell silent, not knowing how to respond.
When Lu Miao arrived at the studio in the morning, the head of the editing room told her the general situation.
If the splicing part is not handled properly during editing, the interface may break due to bumps or falls.
It is normal to have snowy screen and picture loss.
But the editing room was reviewing the issues until midnight last night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it wasn't the case at all.
Videotapes are fragile, but not that fragile.
Not to mention how many times this tape had been played back and forth in the editing room.
If it really falls, it will just crack. How could it possibly get tangled?
If the tape is twisted in an illogical way, it can only be caused by human force moving the two reel holes.
And judging by the damage to the box, it's impossible that it was just a minor drop.
The head of the editing room said that it was Min Qiaoqiao who went to get the videotape, and Lu Miao could roughly guess what was going on.
But she wanted to know more about what Min Qiaoqiao wanted to do.
Because she didn't let her use her connections, so she wanted to make things difficult for her?
Or do you think she's a threat?
Are you naive enough to think that you can bring her down in this way?
Lu Miao looked calm, staring at Min Qiaoqiao as if he was standing still.
Min Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth secretly.
I originally thought that with a scapegoat, this matter could be put to rest.
But I didn't expect Lu Miao to say such a thing.
This is a threat to her, forcing her to admit that she did it.
Otherwise, it means to expose her previous connections...
Min Qiaoqiao was unwilling to accept it, but she had no choice but to say weakly:
"I, I didn't mean to. I didn't hold it steady and it did fall a bit..."
It was indeed Min Qiaoqiao who did it.
As Lu Miao guessed, Min Qiaoqiao felt both her self-esteem was hurt and she felt extremely stressed every time she faced her.
She had indeed been looking for an opportunity to take advantage of Lu Miao, but she never had the chance.
When I got the videotape yesterday, the people in the editing room specifically reminded me of its importance.
For departments like the British Press, video materials have always been particularly important.
She thought she could deal a heavy blow to Lu Miao, but who could have imagined that she would be put in such a mediocre position...
