Zhuang Nainai had always had a strong mentality. She just put on her earphones and started to think.
Si Jingyu’s design drafts could only have been stolen in the company. However, who could have seen her drafts?.
In the company, the only other person who was in a high position in the fashion design department was Mi Nuo.
Mi Nuo… Mi Nuo!


Zhuang Nainai suddenly looked up. Although she had no concrete proof, her sixth sense told her that something about Mi Nuo was fishy.
But what kind of connection was there between Mi Nuo and the Gus?
If she had indeed stolen the design drafts, why did she have to harm Zhuang Nainai in the process as well?
Zhuang Nainai bit her lips. She thought about this serious problem throughout the entire morning. It was soon noon.
At 12 pm in the afternoon, she saw that everyone in the office had left. No one had told her that it was time for lunch. It felt as though she had been abandoned.
Zhuang Nainai brought her company’s cafeteria card along with her and left for the cafeteria on the fourth floor.
She didn’t have much money now. All she had was the card that she could use to pay for lunch at the cafeteria. She seemed to remember that Ji Chen had given her the card when she first entered the company and that it was loaded with $2,000.
This was the first time she had entered the company’s cafeteria. It was quite different from those in schools. This cafeteria was cleaner and neater.
She ordered rice and went off in search for a place to sit. As she walked over to an empty seat and was about to sit down, a female colleague next to her suddenly said,
Sorry, there’s someone sitting there.

Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. She raised her head and made direct eye contact with the colleague.


The people seated across from her were almost finished with their food, but she was claiming that the seats were taken?
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips. She knew that the female colleague was deliberately making things difficult for her. She didn’t want to stoop down to her level as well. Thus, she carried her tray and continued looking for a seat.
Once she stood up, she realized that there were many people around her who were staring at her with a look of distaste on their faces.
Some unpleasant words came within her earshot.
That’s her, how shameless of her!

It was impossible for her to ignore all of these people.
Zhuang Nainai gripped her tray tightly. Finally, she took in a deep breath and suppressed the injustice she felt deep within her being.
She lifted her head and gazed across the cafeteria, spotting a small round table by a window. There was no one there.
Zhuang Nainai walked over and placed her tray on the table. Then, she walked to the center of the cafeteria and picked up a small bowl. She ladled a bowl of vegetable soup for herself, which was free of charge. Next, she turned around and so that there were a couple of people who were seated close to her table.
Zhuang Nainai raised her brows, walking over whilst carrying her bowl of soup.
Li Li and some other employees from the fashion design department were seated there and having their lunch. Zhuang Nainai’s food had been pushed into a corner.


Zhuang Nainai’s footsteps halted. She lowered her eyes, darting past their bodies. She put her soup down on the table, then sat in the corner, preparing to eat.
Then, Li Li raised her eyebrows.
Zhuang Nainai, please eat somewhere else. We don’t want to have our lunch with a plagiarizer.

Zhuang Nainai lifted her head and glared at Mi Nuo, then the corners of her lips curled up into a sneer as she replied to Li Li,
Oh, that’s great, I don’t want to have my lunch with a bunch of mindless lackeys either.

Li Li’s expression darkened and she shouted,
Who are you calling lackeys!


Whoever responded to the term ‘lackeys’!
Zhuang Nainai arched a brow as she picked up a piece of egg cooked with red persimmon and placed it in her mouth.
Li Li’s expression hardened. She was very agitated as she scolded,
Zhuang Nainai, do you know how many late shifts the fashion design department has been pulling because of you stealing the design drafts? Because of you, our department has not had a single peaceful day. Now you can’t even let us eat our lunch in peace?! You…
