The Gu Corporation did not have its own garment factory due to their lack of capital, so they worked with external factories.
It was clear that Ji Chen going straight to the Gu Corporation for their design drafts would have been inappropriate and stupid, so his method of going to the production factory was not surprising.
Yet, Si Zhengting’s heart sank further as Ji Chen continued.
The more detailed he was, the more it meant…
“I’ve sent the drafts given to me by the garment factory to your email.”
When he heard this, Si Zhengting’s hand on the mouse halted for a moment.
The email was already on his desktop. All it would take was a click, and he would be able to view the design drafts sent by the Gu Corporation to the production factory.
Yet, at this moment, a sense of resistance surfaced in the depths of his heart.
It was as if not viewing the email meant that he could continue to tell himself to trust her.
But if he were to view it…
Si Zhengting was never wishy-washy, and those strange thoughts only held sway for a brief moment before he decisively extinguished them. He opened his mailbox and viewed the design drafts of the Gu Corporation.
His eyes narrowed at the sight of the design drafts.
While the two sets of drafts had some differences here and there, the T-shaped zip and the mainframe of the clothing were unmistakably identical!
The only thing was, Si Jingyu’s drafts had a sense of expertise and beauty while those from the Gu Corporation were like imitations, with poor attention to certain details.
But even so, it was already clear that the conceptual overlap was not a coincidence. It was definitely plagiarism!
Because the T-shaped zip was Si Jingyu’s defining feature and trademark design!
Si Zhengting’s grip on the mouse tightened.
With his sharp gaze still on the computer screen, and fighting the turmoil in his heart, he coldly said, “This… still… does not prove that she did it.”
Ji Chen did not rebut but continued speaking instead. “I found something else too.”
Si Zhengting clenched his fists and silently waited for him to continue.
“The USB flash drive that Madam had given Gu Deshou belongs to the Imperial Group. As you know, all our USB flash drives have the company logo on them, and the flash drive that was given to the Gu Corporation… has the logo.” He paused, then stated a date. “This was the date in which the design drafts in the USB drive were last modified.”
At this point, Si Zhengting simply felt like he was frozen.
The date that Ji Chen had just spoken of was the date when Zhuang Nainai had gone to visit Gu Deshou.
Zhuang Nainai had gone to his room, retrieved the document from his computer, and left the house.
Even though he had been in the office at the time, he had checked his watch. So he knew that the timing stated in the USB flash drive matched the events of that day.
In other words, Ji Chen was trying to tell him that Zhuang Nainai had gone to give the design drafts to Gu Deshou, who, without a single edit, had passed them over to the garment production factory!
And so these drafts were Zhuang Nainai’s.
Seeing that he was silent, Ji Chen continued further, “Sir, I’m sure you know of Ms. Si’s habits: nobody gets close to her during her design process, and the security measures in her office are highly comprehensive, so everything is confidential. Additionally, the day Ms. Si finished her design drafts was the day Madam went to the Gu’s residence.”
