Lei Jin had someone send over the surveillance video last night and analyzed every detail. Calling the chief of the security department over today was just a formality. He knew who did this.
"Give me the memory card." He played back the surveillance video that he had watched countless times last night.
The head of the security department also acted with him: "Boss Lei, the video in question appeared at around 14:35 yesterday afternoon. Look here, this person's behavior is very suspicious." He pointed to a thin woman wearing black-framed glasses and said: "Look, she passed by Miss Lin's office area several times. The first three times she just pretended to look casually and didn't get close. The fourth time she touched the mouse of Miss Lin's desktop computer, opened the computer from the lock screen, glanced at it for a few times, and left in less than half a minute; the fifth time she came back, pretending to look for Miss Lin everywhere, asking for a document, and when she saw that Miss Lin was not there, she turned on her desktop computer again, checked a few folders, didn't find anything, and left again; the sixth time, you see, she directly opened Miss Lin's briefcase and took out a document..."
Lei Jin stared at the computer screen with cold eyes. The woman on the screen took out Lin Dan's design plan, flipped through it quickly, then showed a look of surprise, then hid the folder in her arms and hurriedly left the range of the surveillance camera.
Five minutes later, she walked back pretending to be calm, looked around, and while no one was paying attention, she stuffed the design plan back into Lin Dan's briefcase and left in a hurry. Three or four minutes later, she passed by again with a roll of cloth in her hand. Taking advantage of the hanging cloth, she took Lin Dan's bag, wrapped it in the cloth, and took the elevator to the dye room. Since the dye room is not an important area, in order to protect the privacy of employees as much as possible, the security department did not install surveillance cameras here, so the subsequent scene was not captured.
Up to this point, all the inside information has been made clear, but Lei Jin is still staring at the computer screen, his eyes more focused than before.
Near 15:00, Lin Dan came back and found that his briefcase had been stolen. He asked about it first, but found that everyone in the office pretended not to hear it. He did not make a fuss, but quickly ran to the monitoring room and talked to a security guard. The security guard stretched out his hand, as if trying to touch her breast, but she grabbed his wrist fiercely, almost breaking it. She then strode away and stood in the empty stairwell, lost in thought. In less than two minutes, she suddenly showed a determined look, and then took the elevator directly to the dye room. She was wearing a white suit when she went in, and when she came out, the suit was dirty and she was holding a black package in her hand.
She handled the crisis very calmly and never fell into a state of rage or hysteria for even a second, which shows how good she is at controlling her emotions. She is also very smart and was able to find the lost items in the shortest time just by guessing. If she had arrived a little later, the computer and USB drive might have been irreparably damaged after being soaked in the dye bucket for too long.
Ming Guanghan looked at the woman in the camera who could maintain a calm attitude and accurate judgment even when she was in trouble, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "She is very good!"
Lei Jin hummed, his eyes still fixed on the screen.
Lin Dan on the screen had returned to his seat, stuffed the package under the table, and without caring how embarrassed he looked, he took his notebook and pen and went to the meeting room. Even though she suffered such persecution, she still did what she was supposed to do and never lost her composure for even a second.
Lei Jin held the mouse and froze the video at the moment when Lin Dan entered the meeting room. He said in a deep voice, "Dismiss the security guard from yesterday and call this intern designer and Zhu Ke'er up."
The head of the security department took the order and left. Ming Guanghan, who was in charge of looking for someone in the design department, was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why did you call Zhu Ke'er? Is this matter related to her?"
"Call him up." Lei Jin did not explain much.
Ming Guanghan didn't ask any more questions and hurried away.
…………
Lin Dan walked on the corridor of the Design and R&D Department wearing ten-centimeter-high red-soled shoes. The sound of her footsteps was as sonorous and powerful as the sound of beating a drum. People sitting behind the transparent partition wall can't help but look at her a few more times, first because of her beautiful face, second because of her graceful figure, and third because of her incomparable strong aura.
Her back was very straight, and the gold chains that held the pieces of cloth on her chest hung down and dangled along her back, gently touching her perky buttocks. It was a scene that could only be seen in the sexiest fashion blockbusters. She went to the top floor wearing this life-threatening outfit, and when she came back she didn't look embarrassed at all, but rather looked more calm.
She walked straight to her seat, without looking around, then took out a mirror and a lipstick, and slowly and meticulously applied the makeup to her beautiful lips, and then touched up her foundation and eyeliner. Li Tiantian was standing in the corridor opposite, waving her fist at her and silently shouting "Come on!", which made her smile and her frosty and cold eyebrows melted instantly.
Seeing that she was in very good condition after coming back, Zhu K'er felt a little flustered. She winked at Liu Yan, then left the office and talked in the stairwell for a while. When the two came back, they happened to run into Assistant Ming. When they learned that the president had summoned them, their scalps went numb.
"Take a look at this surveillance video." Glancing at the two people who walked in timidly, Lei Jin turned the screen of his laptop towards them.
Liu Yan's calves were shaking, but Zhu K'er still maintained a calm expression.
Ten minutes later, Lei Jin asked in a deep voice, "Have you finished reading it?"
"Look, I've finished reading it." Liu Yan was sweating profusely.
Zhu K'er nodded silently, knowing that the more she talked, the more mistakes she made.
Even if she said nothing, Lei Jin had already made a decision. "You two are fired for malicious competition and stealing your colleagues' work. There is no compensation." He nodded slightly at Ming Guanghan. "Take them downstairs to pack their things and watch them leave."
Liu Yan seemed to have been mentally prepared, but her eyes were red and she did not make any excuses. Zhu K'er asked sharply: "President, the person who stole Lin Dan's briefcase was Liu Yan. Why did you fire me? This matter has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Liu Yan! Liu Yan, you tell me..." She reached out to grab Liu Yan's arm.
Before Liu Yan could speak, Lei Jin interrupted her impatiently, "She is just an intern designer. She did not submit a design proposal at the R&D meeting yesterday. She is not in competition with Lin Dan, so she had no need to steal Lin Dan's work. In other words, she was most likely instructed by someone to do this. And you are the leader of Group 2, you can completely control her. Moreover, if she felt that Lin Dan posed a threat to her, why did she take Lin Dan's design draft away for a few minutes and then return it again when she could have destroyed it after discovering it? What did she do with it? Did she give it to you for evaluation? When you saw this design draft, you felt threatened by Lin Dan. In order to completely cut off her chance to present it on stage, you simply destroyed her computer as well?"
Lei Jin's tone was questioning, but his eyes were cold and determined.
Zhu Ke'er's face was as white as paper, but she said very firmly: "Boss Lei, all this is just your speculation. You have no evidence."
"Yes, I don't have evidence, but the company is mine and I don't need evidence. You can go." Lei Jin had already convicted Zhu Ker in his heart. Those who know him well know that he is such an arrogant and self-willed person. He will never change his mind about things he believes in, and Lin Dan is the only exception.
Zhu K'er struggled desperately and said: "You can't do this, you have no evidence, this is slander!" If R&R fired her for stealing her peers' work, she would never be able to gain a foothold in the fashion industry again. This stain is fatal to the designer. No one would be willing to cooperate with a thief. Design is originality, and originality hates plagiarism and copying the most. She seems to have been forced into a dead end.
"If you insist on having evidence, I'll pay you double the amount to make her confess, and I can also check your private accounts. Is that okay?" Lei Jin pointed at Liu Yan with a nonchalant attitude, then looked at Ming Guanghan and said coldly, "She wants evidence, go find it and show it to her."
"Okay, Boss." Ming Guanghan smiled and took Liu Yan away.
Zhu Ke'er's legs went weak, and she had to hold on to the chair to steady herself. She said in a trembling voice, "Boss Lei, there's no need to check. I'll go down and pack my things right away. I'll leave right away."
Lei Jin picked up a document and flipped through it, not even bothering to glance at her. This was always his attitude towards people with evil intentions, and Lin Dan was the only time he had misjudged her.
Lin Dan put on a very delicate makeup and was about to open the computer to modify the project plan for the last time, but she saw Zhu K'er coming back, her face as pale as paper, followed by two security guards. They watched her packing her things with a fierce look on their faces, and checked each of the paper items and USB drives she intended to take away to prevent her from stealing company secrets.
Seeing this scene, everyone in Group 2 was dumbfounded. Even Lei Chao, who had just walked into the office, was startled and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? You act like a prisoner?"
Zhu K'er bit her lip and dared not say a word. Ming Guanghan followed from behind and said with a smile: "Ms. Zhu was suspected of stealing other people's works and has been fired by the company. Director Lei, the boss wants you to come up, will you come with me?"
Lei Chao originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he heard that his cousin had summoned him, his scalp suddenly went numb and he followed Ming Guanghan out of the office trembling.
Passing by Lin Dan's office, Ming Guanghan said in a particularly gentle and polite manner: "Ms. Lin, the president asked you to prepare slowly. Don't worry. He can wait no matter how long it takes."
Lin Dan, who was about to revise the plan again, nodded without saying a word.
As soon as the group left, Liu Yan came back. After packing up her things, she ran to Lin Dan and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Sister Lin. I apologize to you. It was Zhu K'er who asked me to steal your briefcase. I'm really sorry."
Two security guards escorted her directly out of the R&R building. Lin Dan never said a word of forgiveness and her expression was exceptionally indifferent. The damage has been done and it cannot be erased by just saying "I'm sorry" or two.
Seeing the two empty seats, the office instantly exploded, but although everyone was talking, no one dared to look at Lin Dan. At this point, they have fully understood the attitude of the company's top management. Lin Dan has thoroughly demonstrated his strength. In contrast, Zhu K'er has been abandoned. What's more, her competitive methods are indeed disgusting!
