Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Chapter 113 The Same USB Drive

Just as Ye Xingchen expected, Xing Fei arrived at the hospital shortly after nine o'clock in the morning.

The triage desk told her that Dr. Ye wasn't at work yet and was still on annual leave, and sent her away.

Xing Fei had waited a week; she wouldn't give up so easily, especially since this concerned her future marriage.

She walked out of the hospital and went to the outdoor parking lot, where she began to search for Ye Xingchen's car.

Ye Xingchen was driving Ye Xinghe's new car today. Xing Fei searched the outdoor and underground parking lots three times, but couldn't find it. So, she decided to go to the Ye family's house to check.

The entire Ye family went to work, leaving only a few servants at home.

When Xing Fei appeared at the gate, she was spotted by Uncle Fu.

"Miss Xing, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Uncle Fu didn't let her in, so Xing Fei could only look into the yard. "I'm looking for Ye Xingchen. Is he home?"

Uncle Fu smiled and said, "The second young master is not home; he has gone abroad to study."

Xing Fei asked in surprise, "You went abroad? Where did you go?"

Uncle Fu patted his head. "Uncle Fu is old and senile. He didn't remember the place name either. Anyway, it was abroad."

Ever since Xing Fei caused that trouble, Ye Xingchen told everyone in his family that if Xing Fei came looking for him, he should say that he had gone abroad.

Xing Fei felt increasingly uneasy. Ye Xingchen's colleagues at the hospital had said he was at work today, but when she went to the hospital just now, they said he was still on annual leave. Now, Ye's family said he had gone abroad.

Three people gave three different answers, so someone must be lying!

Xing Fei returned to the Ye family home. This time, she didn't go inside. Instead, she parked her car opposite the Ye family's gate and waited. She was determined to wait for Ye Xingchen today.

Huashi Group.

Tomorrow is the day of the first assessment.

Before leaving get off work today, everyone must submit their design drafts. All designs will be anonymously posted on the company intranet, where all employees at the Beijing headquarters will vote to select the top ten designs with the most votes, which will be publicly displayed at tomorrow's meeting.

Ye Xinghe was carefully modifying the "fake picture" while seated.

She had to make the image look perfect on the surface, but in reality, full of flaws.

Ye Xinghe revised the version many times, saving each version on a USB drive, and also wrote down her creative philosophy and insights.

Hua Qingmeng instructed her to inform the deputy group leaders that all design drawings must be submitted by 3 PM today. Anyone who fails to submit on time will be eliminated.

The reason he gave the last-minute notice was that he wanted to eliminate a group of employees with procrastination issues.

Ye Xinghe first notified Wang Yu of Group B, and then went to Group A to find Su Xiaotong.

"Xiaotong, the boss gave us a last-minute notice that the design drawings need to be submitted by 3 p.m. You should tell your team members right away."

Su Xiaotong closed her laptop and went to inform each team member in person.

Ye Xinghe suddenly noticed that Su Xiaotong's computer had the same USB drive as hers, exactly the same one that Wang Nana had given her.

She returned to her seat and sent a message to Su Xiaotong, inviting her to lunch together.

I wonder if Su Xiaotong's USB drive was also a gift from Wang Nana. Ye Xinghe usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but Su Xiaotong reminded her of something during Shen Yan's incident, so she decided to lend her a hand.

At noon, Wang Nana, as usual, came to have lunch with Ye Xinghe.

Ye Xinghe unplugged the USB drive and put it in her bag. "Let's go out for lunch."

"Xinghe, my drawing is almost finished, I need to hurry back. Let's eat in the cafeteria."

"Then go to the cafeteria by yourself. The main thing is that I have an appointment with Su Xiaotong, and it wouldn't be good to stand her up."

"Why did you make plans with her?" Wang Nana leaned closer and whispered, "She's Shen Yan's classmate, you'd better be careful, don't get hurt!"

Ye Xinghe feigned surprise, "They're classmates? I really didn't know. We've already made plans, so let's leave it at that. I'll just be careful."

Wang Nana looked worried. "Don't get too close to her. Never mind, I'll go with you."

Have you finished drawing all the design drafts?

Ye Xinghe didn't shy away from the topic, saying, "It's almost finished, but we've revised it several times and haven't decided which one to use yet."

Wang Nana reminded her, "When you're finally sure you want to submit it, don't forget to change the file name. Otherwise, it's easy to submit the wrong file."

"Thank you for reminding me, Nana. I'll change it when I get back."

Ye Xinghe smiled warmly on the surface, but inwardly she cursed, "Wang Nana, if you dare to plagiarize my design, you're dead."

Ye Xinghe deliberately chose a restaurant where the food was served very slowly. She and Wang Nana sat on one side, while Su Xiaotong sat on the other side by herself.

After ordering the food, Ye Xinghe rummaged through her bag, deliberately dropped the USB drive on the ground, and then kicked it to the opposite side.

"Xiaotong, my USB drive fell over there. Could you pick it up for me?"

Su Xiaotong picked it up and handed it to Ye Xinghe, her eyes trembling slightly.

Ye Xinghe smiled and took the USB drive, then put her arm around Wang Nana beside her. "I'm not bragging, but this is a back-to-work gift from Nana, so I can't lose it."

Wang Nana laughed awkwardly twice, her expression extremely unnatural.

Through conversation, it was learned that Wang Nana's family owns two courtyard houses, each about 300 square meters, within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, and her parents run a bed and breakfast business every day. Su Xiaotong's parents are both high school teachers.

The conversation between the three was quite boring, and Ye Xinghe deliberately delayed going back until almost 2 a.m., not wanting to give Wang Nana too much time to make changes.

As soon as Ye Xinghe returned to her desk, Su Xiaotong sent her a message: "Xinghe, are you available to come to the break room now?"

Ye Xinghe didn't reply. She glanced at Wang Nana and saw that she was busy in front of the computer. She then took her cup and went straight to the tea room.

As soon as she entered, Su Xiaotong took out her identical USB drive.

"Mine was also a gift from Wang Nana."

Ye Xinghe smiled slightly, "You are indeed smart; you understood what I meant right away."

Su Xiaotong continued, "Wang Nana told me that she wants to join our group in the future. She didn't want me to tell you about giving me the USB drive, because she was afraid you would be angry."

Ye Xinghe looked surprised. "Why would she want to join your group?"

Su Xiaotong pushed up her glasses. "I don't know the specific reason. She told me that her family is also from Beijing, the same place as me, so she felt very close to her, and that we could go home together during holidays in the future."

Ye Xinghe felt this reason was weak. "Putting that aside for now, did you save the design drawings that you were supposed to submit?"

Su Xiaotong nodded. "It's saved. What's wrong?"

Ye Xinghe quickly said, "There's no time to explain now. Try to fix it as soon as possible. Your picture has probably been stolen too."

Su Xiaotong looked flustered. "It's too late now. I've already finished. And every version is in there."
