Chapter 180: Lu Ziyi’s Defense
Tang Hong’s expression was grim. As someone with experience, how could he not see that Lu Ziyi liked Ye Chuxiao?
But the young man couldn’t keep his composure at all. To protect the girl he liked, he actually blamed a company with significant social influence!
One must know that when the Tang Group was founded, Lu Ziyi wasn’t even in this world!
He had even valued Lu Ziyi so highly before, entrusting him with important responsibilities.
He had completely misjudged him!
At this moment, Lu Ziyi, as an invited consultant, was questioning the Tang Group. He seemed like an outsider, being looked at with resentful eyes by others.
Lu Ziyi showed no panic at all. He calmly and composedly argued, “Since the back of the design drawing has a seal, it proves that the designer’s information was written on the back.
“If this was an unfinished draft, Ye Chuxiao wouldn’t have written her name on the back. Even if she had made a mistake and handed over the wrong design drawing to Tang Group, the back of the design drawing would be blank.
“Ye Chuxiao is my assistant. I know her character; she is meticulous and cautious, so it’s unlikely she would have made a mistake in handing over the design drawing.
“And I also recognize Ye Chuxiao’s handwriting. The designer information on the back of this design drawing was not written by Ye Chuxiao!
“Therefore, it can be inferred that this design drawing is not the original draft submitted by Ye Chuxiao, but it has been replaced!
“If you don’t believe me, I can call Ye Chuxiao over to compare handwriting. And the person who replaced Ye Chuxiao’s design drawing is likely the one who wrote this designer information!”
Lu Ziyi’s analysis was clear and logical, with sound reasoning, which made Chairman Tang and the two directors calm down.
Tang Hong carefully examined the handwriting on the design drawing. His thick eyebrows furrowed, and he paused, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
“Xiao Yi,” Tang Hong said calmly, “call Miss Ye to come to the Tang Group, right now.”
“Yes,” said the staff member Xiao Yi. “Miss Ye is still in the adjacent meeting room communicating with other designers. I’ll go invite her over.”
Xiao Yi ran out quickly. Tang Jie’er’s peripheral vision followed her, and her heart clenched tightly.
Tang Jie’er worried if her father had seen her handwriting. To conceal it, she had changed her font, but perhaps it couldn’t be seen that she had written it.
Tang Jie’er, due to nervousness, clutched the sleeve of her white shirt. If Lu Ziyi continued his investigation, would he find out that she had swapped Ye Chuxiao’s original design drawing?
Tang Jie’er’s heart was in a panic, but her outward appearance remained calm. She would not easily admit that she had framed Ye Chuxiao!
Xiao Yi quickly brought Ye Chuxiao in.
Ye Chuxiao saw Chairman Tang, the two directors, and even Lu Ziyi present. Everyone had a solemn expression, as if facing a major issue.
Ye Chuxiao, not understanding the situation, politely greeted them, “Good morning, Chairman Tang, esteemed directors, Senior Student Ziyi.”
Tang Hong’s face showed no excessive emotion. He simply instructed calmly, “Xiao Yi, bring a piece of paper and have Miss Ye write her name.”
Xiao Yi knew the seriousness of the matter. As one of the staff members responsible for organizing design drawings, such an incident of design drawings being swapped had occurred. She bore undeniable responsibility and was even highly suspected.
Trembling, Xiao Yi followed Chairman Tang’s request, took an A4 paper from a desk drawer, placed it on the table, and then handed Ye Chuxiao a black marker pen. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, “Miss… Miss Ye, please… write your name.”
