Chapter 134 The calm before the storm
After finishing her meal, Ning Yuechen returned to her bedroom to start drawing. She recently took on a project to create characters for a mobile game. If the deal went through, the income would be considerable.
She really enjoyed this quiet time where she could concentrate on her creation, but unfortunately this little bit of beauty did not last long as it was interrupted by the sudden ring of her cell phone.
Ning Yuechen looked at the caller ID on the phone screen, took a deep breath, then pressed the answer button and said expressionlessly, "Boss Bai, what's the matter?"
Bai Yi's calm and cool voice came from the other end of the phone: "I left an important document in the study, in the safe. I'll send you the password. Please bring it to the company now. I've asked the driver at home to pick you up."
Ning Yuechen's first reaction was to refuse, not because she didn't want to make this trip, but because she didn't want to know the other party's private password. She didn't want to get involved in anything that touched on the other party's more private matters.
After all, the previous lessons were too profound.
But no matter how much she resisted, she could only fulfill her duty as a special assistant and go to the other party's study, and then enter the password of the safe. As soon as she opened it, she was almost blinded by the glittering gold bars inside.
Ning Yuechen blinked. She thought that scenes like this of putting gold bars in safes only appeared in TV dramas, but she didn't expect that rich people would actually do this in real life, and put dozens of them.
Fortunately, she learned her lesson this time. She made a video call to Bai Yi the moment she entered the study, so that she could see her actions throughout the process. Otherwise, if one of the golden and heavy gold bars was missing, she would become the most suspected person again.
Ning Yuechen pulled out the top transparent file bag and closed the safe. As soon as he stood up, he was shocked by the colorful sticky notes on the wall in front of him.
She slowly moved her eyes to the far left corner, which was almost entirely covered with notes marked in various colors.
Although she didn't want to stay here any longer, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The above roughly records the characteristics, selling points, and data of the various brand products under the group. In addition, each key product is also classified into a detailed analysis and subsequent sales forecast, and product photos are attached under each category.
Ning Yuechen didn't expect that such notes would appear in Bai Yi's study, and they were all handwritten. She had worked with her for more than a month, so she naturally recognized her handwriting.
I didn’t expect that in today’s rapidly developing intelligent technology, there are still people who use this simplest and most primitive learning method to summarize and organize, and this person is Bai Yi, who is recognized as a genius.
She always thought that this person's brain was a powerful database, and everything would automatically appear clearly and accurately when needed.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuechen couldn't help but take a step back, but accidentally touched the small mobile bookshelf behind him, and all the things on the top fell down.
She was startled by the noise and quickly squatted to pick it up, but was stunned when she saw an open notebook on the ground, because there was a photo inside.
Ning Yuechen slowly picked up the thick notebook and pulled out the photo between the two pages with a dull look.
Although the person in the photo was only a back view, she could recognize it as herself at a glance. She turned to the next page, and there was still a photo between the white paper and the colorful words, but this time the person in the photo was taken from the front.
She looked at herself painting in the sunset and didn't know how to react for a moment. Her mind went blank.
It was in this state of blankness in his brain filled with fear that Ning Yuechen forced himself to calm down and began to read the contents of his notes.
After a look, I found that although all the notes were personally compiled, they involved the confidential information of the group. Because this was written by Bai Yi himself about the idea of Bai's Group to develop cars and various market research data, and even solutions on how to overcome technical problems, and even a whole flow chart was drawn.
She never knew the other person had this habit of taking notes.
But now she was not afraid of accidentally seeing the other party's important information, but why Bai Yi asked someone to secretly take pictures of her. And looking at the time, it was half a year after she left the Bai family.
Not only that, her photo was also tucked into this important-looking note.
But if this note is really so important, why would the other party put it on the bookshelf so casually?
Is it because it is placed casually that it is not conspicuous? Or is it because she trusts the security system of her room, especially the study?
Ning Yuechen didn't dare to think about it any further, and suddenly remembered that he was still video chatting with the other party. He quickly picked up the phone that was casually placed on the ground, but found that the video had been disconnected at some point.
Maybe she accidentally got hung up when she knocked over the bookshelf. Thinking of this, Ning Yuechen felt inexplicably relieved, although she didn't know why she had this reaction.
With such a messy thought, Ning Yuechen quickly sorted out the books that fell on the ground and put them back on the bookshelf. At the same time, he was glad that he had a good memory. When he came in just now, he took a few more glances at the bookshelf and remembered how to put them in their original positions.
When she finally put the notebook back to its original place, she paused, then opened the notebook again as if possessed by a ghost, picked up the photo inside and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and finally turned it over to look at the back.
There was a line of words written on it, which made Ning Yuechen's face pale instantly. The next moment, she threw the notebook in her hand aside, with endless fear in her eyes.
Bai Yi had just finished a round of verbal battle when he remembered that he was on a video call with Ning Yuechen. He picked up the phone that was lying upside down on the table, but found that the other party had already hung up.
She checked the time and thought that everyone should have arrived by now. The document would be used in the next round of meetings, so she called the number, but the other party answered the phone just when it was about to hang up.
"Where are you? The file will be needed in ten minutes."
There was silence for a few seconds before the reply came: "We are already downstairs at the company."
Bai Yi felt that there was something wrong with her voice, but when he thought about how she had been getting mad at him recently, he didn't care and just said, "Come up quickly."
There was silence for a few seconds before he replied, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yi leaned back into the soft chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Because she will be staying in Country M for a week, almost all of her important schedules are squeezed into this period. The non-stop work in recent days plus today's time-consuming and laborious shareholders' meeting, even if she can handle it with ease, she still can't resist the physical fatigue.
After a few minutes, the door to the conference room opened and someone walked in.
Bai Yi opened his eyes and looked over, and saw Ning Yuechen's extremely pale face. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You look so ugly."
