Zhuang Nainai finally found Ji Chen in a small corner decorating something. Walking hurriedly over to him, she said, “Executive Assistant Ji!”

Ji Chen turned around and immediately greeted her politely. “Madam, can I help you with anything?”

Zhuang Nainai urgently recounted what she had witnessed earlier between Si Guangsong and the female reporter, then began to describe to him how the reporter looked like. “She has short hair and small eyes, and she’s in an army-green top. She’s got green boots on, and her overall appearance is somewhat bright and fresh. I’m sure you’ll be able to locate her.”

As she said this, she turned around and began searching the crowd. After scanning the event location for a round or so, her gaze rested on the female reporter who was now standing in a corner and eating from the buffet spread. “Executive Assistant Ji, that’s her!”

Ji Chen followed Zhuang Nainai’s gaze and turned to look. In an instant, his eyes narrowed and he gave a huff. “I knew it! The sly old fox wouldn’t let things slide so easily; what an oversight we’ve had that his people managed to sneak in. That lady is from Su Er Newspaper Agency, and she’s got a bit of a reputation. But don’t worry, Madam, I’ll go over now and chase her out of our event.”

Zhuang Nainai nodded.

She then watched as Ji Chen ran over and said something to the female reporter. Then, just as she was about to shout in response, he waved the security officers over to bring her out.

Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief only when she saw with her own eyes that the reporter had left the event location. Subconsciously, she turned to look at Si Guangsong, whose face was dark by now.

Zhuang Nainai felt a wave of satisfaction. Now, everything would be fine, right?

But Zhuang Nainai’s right eyelid twitched, making her feel as if something bad was about to happen.

She made her way around the banquet hall for a while before checking her watch and realizing that it was five minutes to six in the evening.

In other words, the celebration was about to start in five minutes!

Yet Si Zhengting, the major attendee of the evening, had yet to appear.

Bored, Zhuang Nainai made another two rounds around the banquet hall. All of a sudden, she finally realized where her feelings of insecurity came from.

Mi Nuo wasn’t here yet!

As the most suspicious person on her list, Mi Nuo had to be in her sight all the time.

Zhuang Nainai began to look for Mi Nuo.

She walked around twice before spotting Mi Nuo standing together with Zuo Yiyi at the entrance. Both of them were speaking to each other, with Zuo Yiyi having her usual lukewarm expression on her beautiful face. Mi Nuo said a few words to her, the conversation seemingly going downhill. Zuo Yiyi raised her eyebrows, then simply walked off.

Mi Nuo was left standing alone, awkward.

Someone who wanted to get into Zuo Yiyi’s good books stepped up to ask Mi Nuo, “What’s the matter with Ms. Zuo? Why does it seem that her mood isn’t too good?”

Mi Nuo’s face reddened. A moment ago, she had simply gone over to praise Zuo Yiyi’s outfit, but for some reason unknown to her, Zuo Yiyi had turned and left!

This Zuo Yiyi was certainly one who never minded making life hard for people.

But Zuo Yiyi’s current bad mood was known to everyone, and it was only Mi Nuo who had dared to go up to her to chat. That made everyone want to cleave to Mi Nuo to find out what was going on.

Mi Nuo quickly composed herself as she heard the question. She turned her gaze toward Zhuang Nainai, then sighed. “I heard that Ms. Zuo had an argument with an employee of ours because of the issue with the design drafts. It’s understandable that her mood would be bad!”

Just this one comment was enough to send everyone’s imaginations running wild.

The story went: the Imperial Group had a female employee who had not only plagiarized TZ’s creative works but had also sold the designs to other people. Yet she had not been dealt with by the company because she held the interest of Mr. Si.

Chapter 389: The Climax! The 100th Year Anniversary Celebration! (9)

So, this female employee had set herself against Ms. Zuo?

In an instant, the rumor spread among the senior management.

Some, who wanted to get into Zuo Yiyi’s good books, hopped out to try and please Zuo Yiyi.

Zhuang Nainai had no idea that she was being watched. Instead, she was holding a glass of juice and keeping an eye on Mi Nuo while she was at it.

Now that Mi Nuo was being watched, everything should go smoothly, right?

Zhuang Nainai felt as if she was worrying a little too much for this celebratory event.

Just as she thought this, she suddenly spotted a group of women sauntering over.

She did not know these women at all, so she decided to simply walk away from them with her glass of juice.

Little did she expect one of them to stick out her elbow while she was walking past them.

With a deft maneuver, she took a few steps back and steadied herself, recovering from the knock she received. Just as she heaved a sigh of relief, one of the other women stuck out her hand and pushed her.

Unstable once more, Zhuang Nainai raised her brows, her eyes sweeping toward the women who were all standing beside her.

Wearing bright smiles on their faces, they had their arms crossed and were raising their brows at her.

This time, just before Zhuang Nainai was able to regain her balance, another hand reached out to push her!

These people were doing it on purpose!

She immediately decided that she wasn’t going to let them toy around with her!

Zhuang Nainai was never one to endure wrongs, and the events that had been happening recently had nearly worn out her lifetime’s worth of patience. So the first thing she decided to do was to raise her glass of juice and splash it toward the last woman that had pushed her!

“Oh no, be careful!” Zhuang Nainai shouted. That woman took a step back as the juice landed on the floor, and in the same instant, Zhuang Nainai managed to regain her balance.

Just as she did so, the people by her side began advancing once more. Hurriedly reaching for a glass of wine by the side of a table, she swirled the wine in the glass and said, “Oh no, look at how dark this wine is! If it accidentally gets onto the clothes of anyone, she can kiss her outfit goodbye!”

As soon as she said this, the group of women stopped in their tracks!

Now that they dared not approach her, they stood a little distance away from her and began to scold her.

“How shameless! She’s just a thief yet she’s still so haughty!”

“Exactly! If you dare to splash us, we’ll chase you out!”

“Look at her modest, shabby outfit! Isn’t she just an insignificant employee?”

“What does Mr. Si see in you for him to make you an unwritten rule? Maybe you’re the one who released the rumor by yourself!”

These people were truly out of their minds. Even if she had truly plagiarized the Imperial Group’s design drafts, did that even have anything to do with them?

Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes, feeling as if she was tussling with a bunch of crazed people. Taking her glass of wine with her, she decided to leave them.

But just as she walked a few steps, someone blocked her way. Lifting up her head, she spoke angrily to Zhuang Nainai, “Hey, you spilled the fruit juice onto the floor. Shouldn’t you go get a mop and clean up the place?”

Casting a glance at the bunch of women who were probably just in their early twenties, Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

If these people were trying to bully her, could they at least come up with something better?

She made a motion with the wine glass in front of the woman. “Move off!”

The young woman, shocked, took a few steps back, but then regained herself and straightened her neck. “I’m not going to move away; I don’t believe that you’re going to pour the wine over me! If you do, I’ll get someone to chase you out!”
