I got hooked after slacking the bigoted bigot

Chapter 12 Why are you here?

"Hmph, Shen Mochuan's expression looks like he's going to eat people."

Noah retracted his gaze and shook his head with emotion.

The exhausted Lin Xia finished telling the driver the address, put on his coat, and thanked Noah with all his strength: "Mr. Nuo, thank you for your coat. I will return it to you after cleaning."

"You're welcome, it's just a coat, don't worry about it so much." Noah took a bottle of water from the shelf on the car, unscrewed it and handed it to Lin Xia, "But, is it convenient to tell me what happened just now?"

After all, the atmosphere between Shen Mochuan and Lin Xia just now...is really not like meeting old rivals.

What's more, based on his understanding of Shen Mochuan, Lin Xia did such a thing back then, and now he can still live in Shanghai... It's hard not to arouse suspicion.

Lin Xia swallowed a mouthful of cold water, suppressed the irritability and lingering fear in her heart, and said, "It's nothing. At the banquet just now, I seemed to have drank a glass of wine with extra ingredients, and then... then I met Shen Mochuan."

"Well, do you want to go to the hospital now? How do you feel?" Noah looked concerned.

"No, thank you, Mr. Nuo." Lin Xia shook her head lightly, and continued with what she just said, "Shen Mochuan happened to be accompanied by a private doctor who had already given me an injection. I misunderstood that he gave me the medicine, so I told him He quarreled a few times, and the clothes should have been torn at that time."

Lin Xia didn't fully tell the truth, her foundation is not stable now, and Noah is one of the few people in the company who is willing to trust her and holds real power.

Naturally, she dared not tell the truth.

Fortunately, Noah did not become suspicious: "There is still this matter? Do we need to call the police?"

"No need." Lin Xia shook her head, "Many of the people who came to the banquet today want to work together in the future. If I call the police, I'm afraid I will offend them."

Noah thought so too. He patted Lin Xia on the shoulder and comforted him, "I just want to wrong you."

"It's okay, it was a false alarm." Lin Xia smiled weakly, and smoothed things over: "Maybe Shen Mochuan really did this today, after all, he said he wouldn't make it easy for me."

She said this to imply that Noah had no other relationship with Shen Mochuan.

Noah understood, and assumed the attitude of a big boss: "No matter how powerful he is, Shen Mochuan, he can't do illegal things! You should be careful in the future, and if you feel something is wrong, call me immediately, and I will cover you , you don't have to be afraid."

"Thank you, Mr. Nuo, fortunately you are here." Lin Xia thanked him sincerely.

Noah waved his hand and urged the driver to drive quickly.

The next day.

During the lunch break, when most people in the company are taking a nap, Lin Xia is still busy.

The workload of the design director is too heavy, she can only squeeze out the little rest time left to investigate the real culprit behind the "Leaked Mingyue Design Draft".

If she doesn't take this scapegoat down, the designers of the branch may write a joint letter to the headquarters to dismiss her.

Yesterday, through a friend, she contacted an expert in tracing information, and asked him to investigate the entire trajectory of Mingyue's design draft leaked on the Internet.

The other party promised to give a reply within three days.

Lin Xiajing sat and waited restlessly, and then dug out the company's employee log, researching all the designers in the company like a needle in a haystack.

Among them, Linda's information has been read countless times by her.

Among the more than 20 designers in Star Art's Shanghai branch, Lin Xia always suspected that Linda was the culprit behind the "leaking of Mingyue's design draft".

It's a pity that suspicion is useless, she has to produce evidence.

"Ah~"

Lin Xia sighed, pushed away the pile of documents in front of her, took the empty cup next to her, got up and went to the tea room.

She needs to brew herself an American pick-me-up.

After pouring the coffee, Lin Xia held the cup, avoided the viewing corridor, went around to the empty stairwell, and planned to go there to enjoy some fresh air.

As soon as she reached the stairwell, she vaguely heard voices coming from below.

She subconsciously thought that other employees in the company were also chatting in the stairwell. She didn't want to join other employees, but she was about to turn around and leave when she heard her name before she could take a step.

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows lightly, turned around, walked lightly, and walked deep.

She finally heard it now.

The one who spoke was another designer from the design department, Xuelin, who was the first to show her affection to her after she came to Shanghai.

Lin Xia had a good impression of her, and she thought that Xuelin should have casually mentioned herself while chatting with others, so there was no need for her to be so suspicious.

Speaking of it, it was caused by the Mingyue incident, which made her suspicious now.

Lin Xia laughed at herself, holding the cup and preparing to leave.

But in the next second, Xuelin's clear words came into her ears through the empty stairwell: "She is still holding on, I didn't realize that she is so thick-skinned, she has reached this level, and dare to rely on the director The position does not resign."

Inside and out, full of ridicule.

The knuckles of Lin Xia holding the cup were so white that they were bloodless, she slowly turned her head back, her eyes were full of disbelief.

For the first time in his life, Lin Xia wondered if his ears had problems because he hadn't had a good rest during this period of time?

But Xuelin's next words cruelly broke her doubts.

"I don't think she can last long. Mingyue has been discharged from the hospital and is writing a joint letter with the designers. She plans to go to the headquarters and say that no matter what, she must be pulled from the position of design director."

Lin Xia looked out of the window with blank eyes, and Xuelin gloated in her ears: "I... I'll just watch the fun from the side, Lin Xia, why should she come here as the director, that position should be mine That's right!"

Ha ha
Half an hour later, Director Assistant Fang Rong carefully put the documents in his hand on the table, and tentatively asked Lin Xia, who was obviously distracted: "Director Lin, do you want to continue the meeting later?"

Lin Xia raised her hand and squeezed the corners of her eyes, shaking her head in a hoarse voice: "The meeting has been postponed for an hour, and I need to go upstairs to report to President Nuo later."

"Okay, Director Lin."

The assistant turned and left, and closed the door for her.

Lin Xia leaned forward, propping her forehead with both hands.

She felt a little tired. Xuelin, the only one in the design department who seemed to have a good relationship with her, was no different from everyone else behind her back.

It is even possible that she, Xuelin, was the instigator of the leak of Mingyue's design draft.

"Xuelin, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you..." Lin Xia murmured.

evening.

The half-dead Lin Xia pushed open the door of the house, kicked off the shoes on his feet, walked to the sofa with bare feet, and threw himself on it with open arms, unwilling to get up for a long time.

"A small director position has made you so tired?"

A voice that was extremely familiar but shouldn't appear here sounded. Lin Xia was startled, got up quickly, and stared at the source of the voice: "Why are you here?"
