Chapter 1405: Favoritism

Pei Dongshi’s words were not a joke, his face was so cold that even though Qin Qing sat to his right, she felt her hands and feet grow cold.

Not to mention Su Xinying, who already had a guilty conscience.

The office door was knocked, and Su Miaotong appeared at the entrance.

She walked in and respectfully greeted, “President Pei.”

Pei Dongshi nodded, “Was your computer tampered with?”

“What?”

“Besides sending emails, were the design files on your computer accessed by anyone?”

Su Miaotong paused for a moment, glanced subtly at Su Miaotong, and sighed, “Yes, I created a special folder for Nan Jiaojiao’s design drafts, and it was accessed at noon.”

“There is…

a record of copying.”

Designers’ computers are always overseen by special assistants, as design drafts are too important.

If anyone alters them, there will be traces.

In the industry, plagiarism is the greatest taboo.

If any tampering is discovered, it’s better to abandon the current design.

This also indirectly indicated that the first thing Su Xinying did was place the design drafts far from herself, even in a blind spot.

Wasn’t she blatantly telling others she intended to harm someone?

By now, it was almost conclusive who plagiarized whom.

Yet Su Xinying was still unwilling to give up.

She panicked, “My design drafts have timestamps!

There’s a completion date!

The last page of the draft clearly states the date…”

“You also know that’s handwritten; which designer treats a handwritten date as serious?”

Pei Dongshi impatiently said, “You’re also foolish, relying on your sisterly relationship with Master Su, you didn’t even destroy the evidence after accessing her computer.

Are you too arrogant, or did you think your cousin would cover for you?”

“I…”

“At E.Y, every designer speaks with strength.

Since your heart isn’t in design and you enjoy competition, go to another company.

Handle your resignation yourself.

Considering you’re a newcomer, we’ll keep this matter quiet for you to avoid making you feel E.Y is deliberately suppressing you.

This gives you a path in the industry, so take care of yourself.”

Competition?

Hearing these two words, Qin Qing knew Pei Dongshi was targeting her, “President Pei, you agreed to the competition, and besides, with so many people present, it’s not up to me.

Who actually plagiarized…

or referenced isn’t fully investigated yet, and you’ve already reached a conclusion.

If you insist on favoritism, I have nothing to say!”

Pei Dongshi glanced at her indifferently, “Favoritism?”

“Isn’t it?”

“Then today I am favoring, with such flawed testimony, what is there to investigate?

Director Qin, you always have a keen eye; when did you regress like this?”

Qin Qing clenched her palms, looked steadily at Pei Dongshi for a few seconds, and sat down resentfully.

Su Xinying was about to cry from anxiety, still wanting to explain, but the more she explained, the more confused it got.

Su Miaotong pulled her and said softly, “Stop making trouble, President Pei has already let you off lightly, if you continue to make a fuss…”

“It’s all your fault!”

Su Xinying slapped Su Miaotong across the face, “You traitor!

Who told you to come!

Who told you to speak for Nan Jiaojiao!

Which side are you on!”

That slap was quite heavy, causing the entire conference room to tremble with the sound.

Su Miaotong staggered a few steps from the slap, barely able to stand, and luckily Nan Jiaojiao caught her in time.

Otherwise, from the angle she was about to fall, she would have hit her face on the corner of the table.

“Enough!”

Pei Dongshi was thoroughly enraged.

He immediately questioned the HR department: “How did you hire such people, stuffing such individuals into the company.

Whoever took kickbacks, spit them all out!”
