Chapter 357
The news of plagiarism was still brewing. After all, it was an international competition with a strong influence.
There were also complaints from the senior managers of the Xavier Group.
After all, the Xavier Group's Design Department had a first-class reputation and ability, but now, in everyone's eyes, it could be said that a little leak would sink a great ship.
Even so, the most important thing was that if the leak appeared, they just needed to get it repaired, but Derek not only refused to repair it but tried to protect Nora.
In this way, coupled with the affair between him and Nora a period of time ago, those high-ranking staff's impression of Nora reached an extremely bad level.
Since Derek took over the Xavier Group, every single decision he made was wise, but this was the first time that he gambled with the Xavier Group actually for a woman with a bad reputation.
No one would agree with him.
Nora did not know about this, and Derek would not let her know.
He could not suppress the public's voice for the time being, but he could control his own company. Derek dealt with a few staff that clamored the loudest, no matter they were on high or department managers.
In this way, the rumors within the company were finally suppressed, although they were unwilling, but so what?
In the Xavier Group, if one employee wanted to keep his job, then he should always keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, he would be fired. There were a lot of talents waiting for these stupid people to give up their jobs. Humph.
In the president's office.
"Has the F Country branch succeeded in doing their job?" Derek asked.
Damian nodded, "Everything is settled. After we pushed the competition judges for deleting the announcement about plagiarism from the official website, it has been withdrawn and replaced with another one that said the results needed to be re-exclaimed, but..."
"But?" Derek glanced at his assistant.
Damian coughed softly, "The Chinese jury has no problem with it, but the F Country's jury doesn't agree. They are making a scene recently. Our attitude is too strong, but we can't provide any evidence, so the situation is a little bit tense.”
"Tell them the evidence is on the way, but that new announcement is not allowed to be withdrawn. Plus, I have reviewed the draft drafted by the PR Department. It can send to the public.”
"Got it."
Derek thought of something and said, "And as for Aubrey, it's impossible for her to stay comfortably in F Country.”
Damian blinked and immediately understood what his boss meant. He nodded and made the arrangements.
In this way, the truth that everyone believed had a different vision in a few days. No one expected that the announcement that charged Nora with plagiarism from the competition official was canceled, instead, there was replaced by a new one.
Reexamination meant that the so-called plagiarism had become uncertain again. Or, who exactly was the one that plagiarized, or there was a new version?
According to this trend, the opinions and suggestions of the masses began to change.
Derek ignored the objections from on high and gambled with the reputation of the Xavier Group. He wrote a statement and posted it on the Xavier Group's official website. It was so infuriating, but no employee dared to do anything.
The statement from the Xavier Group caused quite a few people to be in an uproar, especially other large enterprises all paid attention to this matter.
The plagiarism case had reached its climax, and Sheldon and Aubrey were the two most frightened people.
The statement from the Xavier Group made Sheldon recall what Nora said before she left the coffee shop that day that she would solve this problem with her own method.
So, her so-called method was to let the Xavier Group take action?
Sheldon sneered and was very angry. Once again, he thought that Nora had betrayed him blatantly. She was unforgivable for her crimes and she did not feel that she was wrong at all.
Aubrey was about to be crazy. She was not at home. Although she knew Nora's existence for years, she never took this woman seriously.
She didn't expect that this woman, whom she had never paid any attention to, would have the Xavier Group
to protect her? How could it be?
Working in the Xavier Group was like her dream, and every year she would join the Xavier Group's Design Department recruitment.
But now, that ordinary woman Nora easily got what Aubrey dreamed about, walking smoothly in the path that Aubrey was still working hard on. She felt that the entire world was unfair.
Aubrey, who was immersed in her thoughts, did not notice when there was another person standing behind her in her room.
The next second, Aubrey's neck hurt, and her eyes went blank. She fainted.
Nora was completely unaware of the confusion from the outside world. At the urging of cute Easton, her cell phone and other communication tools were locked in a small box in Easton's room. Nora played with Easton at home every day, doing homework, watching cartoons, playing games and puzzles, and the relationship between them got closer sharply.
She didn't feel bored playing these games with children at all. Instead, she felt extremely satisfied. For several days, she almost forgot about the noise outside.
These few days were the happiest time she had ever had in the past five years.
That night, after Nora coaxed her son to sleep, she got out of bed and went straight to Derek's study. The happy time was always short. After so many days, she needed to know what was going on. After all, she was involved.
"Come in." Derek knew it was Nora.
"How's that going?"
Nora hesitated and said, "Is it troublesome? You must be very busy managing such a big company. If you really can't help it, forget it." She felt embarrassed.
Derek looked at her, narrowed his eyes, stood up, and walked over step by step. He was very slow, but it gave Nora a strong sense of pressure, and her heart immediately thumped.
She was a little overwhelmed and slowly backed away, "What's, what's wrong with you?"
Derek took Nora into his arms and looked down at the little woman in his arms, "This... Is really troublesome.”
Nora's attention was immediately diverted, and she stopped struggling. She felt sorry, and there was a hint of inexplicable bitterness in her heart, "I'm sorry. After all, this is my own business. I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble.”
"Tsk, I haven't finished yet. What's the rush?"
Derek pinched her chin and crouched over her slowly. They were getting closer and closer, and he suddenly turned his head and whispered in her ear.
