Chapter 1404: Editing

“Since there’s no conclusion yet, it’s too early to accuse them of plagiarism.

They were hired on my recommendation.

They have some design talent, and plagiarism is a taboo for designers.

Without ironclad evidence, you can’t label them with those words.

You’re a veteran in the company, don’t you understand the importance of reputation for a designer?”

Qin Qing awkwardly said, “I spoke too soon.”

Pei Dongshi glanced at her and then looked at Su Xinying, who had been silent since his arrival.

“Isn’t there evidence?

Where’s the evidence?”

“I…

I…

I have it.”

She pulled up some surveillance footage.

It was from Su Miaotong’s office, during yesterday’s lunch break.

In the footage, when Su Xinying entered, she casually placed the file she was holding in front of Su Miaotong’s computer and then sat on the sofa playing with her phone.

The video was quickly processed, followed by her leaving.

Then Nan Jiaojiao entered and operated on Su Miaotong’s computer.

“Yesterday noon, I went to see my cousin and wanted her to have a final look at my design draft.

Since she wasn’t there, I waited for a while.

When I left, I forgot to take the design draft.

Later, Nan Jiaojiao went in and stayed in front of the computer for a long time, and that’s the blind spot of the surveillance.

It didn’t capture her hand movements.

When I went in to get the draft, I found it had been tampered with.

Besides her, no one else went in apart from my cousin.”

Nan Jiaojiao said, “Since Master Su wasn’t there, why did you come out and tell me it was on her behalf to pass on the design draft?”

“I…”

Su Xinying had only prepared the surveillance footage, thinking it was enough to convict.

Unexpectedly, Nan Jiaojiao remained so composed in this situation, quickly pinpointing a loophole.

“I called my cousin and mentioned the design draft.

She wasn’t the one who referred me.

She wasn’t in the company, so she told me to remind you.

What’s the problem?”

“When you enter the office and see no one, normally you should keep the design draft within reach.

Why would you specifically go around the desk and place the draft inside, coincidentally blocked by the computer?” Nan Jiaojiao questioned again.

Su Xinying’s throat tightened, a surge of anger rising: “I already said!

I was asking my cousin to look at it again.

Is there a problem placing it in front of her computer?”

Nan Jiaojiao let out a short laugh, a brief but chilling sound.

She didn’t bother to point out each flaw anymore.

Besides, with Pei Dongshi around, she wouldn’t be wronged.

“Go ahead and bring up the full footage from Master Su’s office yesterday noon.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xinying hurriedly stopped her, “President Pei, isn’t the surveillance footage all here?”

Pei Dongshi said calmly, “Yours is edited.

I want to see the complete footage.”

When he asked for surveillance footage, who dared not comply?

Soon, the complete footage played on the big screen, sped up eight times to save time.

Su Xinying sat on the sofa for a long time, but during that time, she stood up, fiddling with things under the camera, where it was the blind spot, not capturing what she was handling.

Then, the camera was pushed upwards.

She was clever enough not to lift her head, pretending she wasn’t doing anything.

When the camera was pushed back down, she was standing in front of the wall, then turned around to sit on the sofa.

This part had been edited by her.

The footage of Nan Jiaojiao entering the office was almost untouched.

“Explain why the camera moved?”

“I…

It’s…

it’s intelligent?”

“It’s intelligent, but the lens moves with the shadow.

You were in front of the camera, yet it drifted upwards.

Explain to me, was there a ghost on the ceiling caught by the camera?”
