Chapter 704: Chapter 701: A Couple’s Minor Dispute (Part 3)
Because of this morning’s incident, Shen Cheng was somewhat out of sorts.
Although her condition was not great, she was still meticulous when dealing with official business, taking great care with every document she signed.
Around three in the afternoon, the office telephone began to ring.
Shen Cheng reached for the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Hello, CEO. There’s been a situation in the archive room, we need you to come down personally."
The archive room was usually not open, as it contained important confidential materials. Typically, departments had to report to their superiors before accessing the archive room.
This rule was set before Shen Cheng took over Nan An.
It is said that the rule was established because a few years ago, someone snuck into the archive room and stole design drafts, which they then sold to other companies for a high price, profiteering from the act.
At the time, Nan An lost millions and even went through a lawsuit with their peers.
Although Nan An eventually won, in order to prevent similar incidents, this rule was introduced.
After taking over Nan An, Shen Cheng kept this rule in place.
The person on the phone was the deputy director of the design department, who had reported to her ten minutes earlier that Gu Liancheng had finished the final process for the new season’s design drafts and needed to place the backup drawings in the archive. She had just given him the key.
Unexpectedly, just ten minutes later, a situation arose in the archive room.
When Shen Cheng arrived at the fifth floor, several executives were pacing back and forth outside the archive room, occasionally engaging in tense conversations.
She walked out of the elevator, furrowing her brows, and quickly approached.
"What happened?"
She asked.
Regarding Gu Liancheng’s designs for the new season, the drafts had only been released a few days ago, and neither the final products nor the prototypes had been made yet.
The jewelry exhibition was scheduled for the 23rd of next month. If the design drafts were stolen or destroyed before then, it might well lead to another bitter battle.
That’s the business world for you—when the enemy is strong, I am weak; when the enemy is weak, I am strong.
Nan An is now considered the leader in the jewelry design industry, naturally attracting covetous and envious eyes from peers.
Many in the industry have climbed the ladder through schemes.
So, it was inevitable for Shen Cheng to be worried.
"CEO."
Seeing her appear, the executives breathed a sigh of relief.
"CEO, nothing serious happened, just a minor issue. Inside the archive room..."
The person speaking was the deputy director of the design department, Zhao Qianxiu, who intended to report the situation of the archive room to Shen Cheng, but for some reason hesitated.
Seeing her hold back, Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "What exactly happened?"
Another executive spoke, "CEO, it’s best if you see for yourself."
After glancing briefly at the few individuals in front of her, Shen Cheng walked straight past them and pushed open the door to the archive room.
As soon as the door opened, a fragrance of roses wafted through.
The scent swiftly infiltrated Shen Cheng’s nostrils, light and pleasant.
Upon looking up, she saw the floor of the archive room, the tables, the cabinets, even the lights and windowsills, all covered with red roses.
Shen Cheng frowned.
What was going on?
"When I opened the door to the archive room, these flowers were already inside," Zhao Qianxiu explained. "I checked just now and found that some rose petals have been dried by the wind. I guess they were put in this morning. But you, CEO, haven’t been in the archive room today, so I find this matter quite strange."
