Chapter 244 Confrontation
Bai Ge's concerns were not unfounded, after all, Lin Mei was still up to no good and had been causing trouble for Qiao Luo.
She's been trying to sow discord between Editor-in-Chief Tang and the others since that incident. If they hadn't defended themselves, she probably would have succeeded in stirring things up.
However, there's really nothing they can do about this.
After all, the workstation is not a private space, and they have no right to stop it.
"Alright, from now on, we should carry our important documents with us at all times. Even if we can't carry them, we should lock them in a cabinet. In short, we shouldn't give her any chance to peek."
Bai Ge thought this method was feasible.
However, despite their best efforts, they still couldn't prevent it.
That day, Qiao Luo and Bai Ge had an appointment with a client to discuss work, but they didn't expect that the documents they had placed on the table would be missing just as they were about to leave. The two searched their workstations thoroughly, but couldn't find them.
"Bai Ge, think again carefully about where you put that proposal before."
Qiao Luo asked.
After all, Bai Ge had always kept that proposal.
Bai Ge was almost in tears, "I put it here, and I even took it out to check it before."
"Have you been anywhere before? Could you have left it there?"
"No, I haven't been anywhere else, I've been here the whole time."
"That's strange, how could it suddenly disappear?"
Seeing that it was too late to redo it, Qiao Luo had no choice but to call the client to reschedule. However, the client flew into a rage and berated them over the phone.
Not long after Qiao Luo hung up the phone, Editor-in-Chief Tang came over. "What's going on with you two? Clients have complained to me, saying you're not taking your work seriously and are standing them up. What exactly happened?"
Editor-in-Chief Tang confronted the two men.
Left with no other choice, Qiao Luo had to tell Editor-in-Chief Tang what had happened.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, we really didn't do it on purpose. It's just that the proposal suddenly disappeared, so..."
"The proposal is gone? How could that be?" Editor-in-Chief Tang was very surprised.
Qiao Luo didn't know how to answer.
"Have you checked the surveillance footage?" Editor-in-Chief Tang asked again.
Qiao Luo: "I saw it."
"And what was the result?" Editor-in-Chief Tang pressed.
Qiao Luo: "Our workstations are in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras, so we can't see anything."
Hearing her say that, Bai Ge disagreed, "No one can say that you can't see it. Didn't I see Lin Mei go there before?"
Bai Ge is a straightforward person who says whatever comes to mind. Just as Qiao Luo was about to speak, Editor-in-Chief Tang beat her to it.
"Is that right?"
She looked at Qiao Luo.
Qiao Luo originally didn't want Bai Ge to bring these things up, since there was no direct evidence and it would be easy to cause gossip if she said it. However, since Bai Ge had already brought it up, she had no choice but to say, "I did see Editor Lin go by, but I only took pictures of her going by. That doesn't prove anything."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Bai Ge retorted:
"Doesn't that prove anything? She was the only one who went there during that time. If it wasn't her, then who else could it be?"
"Bai Ge..." Qiao Luo gestured to her with her eyes to stop talking.
However, Bai Ge ignored it.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, I've wanted to say this for a long time. These past few days, Lin Mei has been hanging around our workstations. Editor Qiao and I have put up with her several times. If the proposal hadn't been lost this time, we wouldn't have thought it was her. Editor-in-Chief Tang, you have to be fair to us."
Bai Ge poured out all the grievances in her heart.
Qiao Luo: "..."
"Qiao Luo, is everything Bai Ge said true?"
Editor-in-Chief Tang looked at her again.
Qiao Luo had no choice but to tell the truth, "Bai Ge is right, Lin Bian's behavior these past few days has indeed been somewhat suspicious."
Editor-in-Chief Tang said, "Since that's the case, let's call Lin Mei over for a confrontation."
As she spoke, she had someone call Lin Mei in.
When Lin Mei came in and saw the two of them there, she immediately understood what was going on. She pretended not to know and said, "Editor-in-Chief Tang, is there something you need?"
"Lin Mei, Qiao Luo and Bai Ge just said that their project proposal is missing and they suspect that you took it. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mei immediately became aggrieved.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, this is a huge injustice! I, Lin Mei, used to be a department head, how could I do such a thing? They are clearly slandering me."
"Slander? Lin Mei, do you dare say you didn't go to our workstations this morning?"
Bai Ge questioned.
Lin Mei: "How could I not dare to say it? I just haven't been to your workstations."
"The surveillance cameras have captured it all, and you still won't admit it."
Bai Ge was speechless with anger.
Lin Mei scoffed and said,
"What did you photograph? Did you photograph me going to your workstation, or did you photograph me taking your things?"
Lin Mei countered with a question.
Bai Ge was speechless, since neither of these two things had been captured on camera.
Lin Mei sneered, "Why aren't you saying anything? Did you not take any pictures? If you didn't take any pictures, what right do you have to slander me?"
"You!" Bai Ge gritted her teeth in anger, "Dare you say you haven't been loitering around our workstations lately?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mei scoffed.
"What does it prove that I went near your workstations? Isn't that company territory? Since when have I been prohibited from moving around freely within the company?"
"you!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Editor-in-Chief Tang was getting a headache from the noise.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
