Mi Nuo’s gaze darkened. She stood up from the couch, then walked to the area that was in disarray. She rummaged around the items on the ground, then retrieved a USB flash drive from the mess. She handed the USB flash drive over to Li Li. “They’re inside.”
Li Li accepted the USB flash drive and murmured a sound of acknowledgment, then turned and was about to leave.
Mi Nuo called her back. “Li Li.”
Li Li turned around, not understanding why Mi Nuo was holding her back. The corner of Mi Nuo’s lips curled up in a sneer. “Check if the drafts are inside the USB flash drive first before sending it over to the fas.h.i.+on design department. I have no backup copy on my computer. The set of designs in the USB flash drive is the only one.”
Li Li felt baffled. This was the only copy and there was no backup?
She nodded, then left Mi Nuo’s office with the USB flash drive in her hand. Just as she powered on her computer and was about to check if the files were inside the USB flash drive, the door to Mi Nuo’s office, which was positioned behind her, suddenly opened.
Mi Nuo brushed up against her from behind, and Mi Nuo’s arm b.u.mped into Li Li’s.
Li Li floundered, loosening her grip on the USB flash drive. It fell onto the floor.
Then, the files in Mi Nuo’s hands fell as well and knocked Li Li’s cup of tea over, which she had placed on her desk!
The pure, drinking water in the cup splattered all over the USB flash drive!
Li Li was shocked and stood up quickly, hurriedly picking up the USB flash drive with a few tissues. She wiped it dry, then checked to see if there was any damage done. She observed that she had reacted quickly and, thus, water had not seeped into the USB flash drive.
Li Li heaved a sigh of relief. Mi Nuo was already addressing her, “Li Li, how could you be so careless in handling your matters! Do you know how important the design drafts within the USB flash drive are? There are three male and female outfits respectively in the flash drive, and our leading styles are following a red theme, you…”
Li Li hurriedly waved her hands as she replied, “Director Mi, the USB flash drive is fine. It is fine.”
Mi Nuo arched an eyebrow as she replied anxiously, “Then plug it into the computer and check that it is fine.”
Li Li plugged the USB flash drive into the computer and saw that the hardware had responded to her action. She heaved a sigh of relief. She then clicked on the icon to check the contents of the drive. However, at that moment, Li Li’s eyes suddenly widened!
Mi Nuo asked, “Are the design drafts still there?”
Li Li hurriedly closed the page. She faced Mi Nuo in horror. Then, she nodded.
Mi Nuo’s eyes narrowed as she smiled and asked Li Li, “What’s inside?”
“Three male and female outfits respectively, and our leading styles are following a red theme.” Li Li’s forehead was breaking out in a cold sweat as she recited this slowly.
Mi Nuo smiled. “Yes, that’s right.”
Mi Nuo checked the time. “It’s going to be 12 pm soon. Go and have lunch first. Although the design drafts matter is urgent, you can send it over to the fas.h.i.+on design department later in the afternoon.”
After she finished speaking, she smiled and added, “Oh yes, inform everyone that Zhuang Nainai’s gone to the cafeteria for lunch. Ask them to avoid her if possible.”
Li Li nodded.
After Mi Nuo left, Li Li hurriedly opened the page again. She saw that… there was no file inside the USB flash drive.
Li Li was stunned.
She stared at her screen for a long while before she shook her head and glanced toward Mi Nuo’s office.
There obviously wasn’t a single file inside the USB flash drive. However, she was persistently telling Li Li so many strange things, perhaps she… As Li Li pondered over the matter, she suddenly unplugged the USB flash drive and flung it into her cup full of water.
The USB flash drive was immediately submerged in the body of water.
Zhuang Nainai’s anger had subsided somewhat after her call with Ji Chen. She had to stand in the hallway for a while before she was able to get her emotions under reign. It was only then that she returned to the office.
Initially, a group of people had gathered in the office to chat, but after they saw her entering the office, the group of people immediately dispersed. Although she wasn’t looking directly at them, she could feel the weight of people’s gazes on her back and knew that people were criticizing her behind her back.
