The next day, everyone in the office was preparing for the celebration dinner and was basically not working.

The leaders even gave everyone a break in the afternoon to prepare for the celebration party. They also told everyone not to embarrass themselves in front of the people from the Construction Bureau and Shengling Group. They told everyone to dress up.

Quite a number of colleagues ran out in groups to buy clothes or go for makeup. For a moment, everyone in the office had left. Anhao didn’t come to work in the morning and only arrived in the afternoon. When she entered the office, she saw Zi Ran sorting out her own proposal alone.

Anhao walked over and asked, only to find out that the leader had given everyone a break.

“Then why don’t you go buy clothes? The leader had already given everyone a vacation. Why were they still here alone?”Anhao asked with a smile.

” I have clothes and a gown. I just need to go back and change into one before the banquet. Besides, there’s no need to make such a big fuss about such a small banquet. The reason why the leader paid special attention to it is because President Zuo of Shengling Group is going too. He’s just giving President Zuo face. I’m not familiar with President Zuo, so it’s fine as long as I don’t dress too ordinarily.”

Zi Ran said as she agreed to a document.”Sister Anhao, it’s good that you’re here. Can you help me see if this new plan can be used?”

After Anhao took the proposal, she turned around and walked into her office. She put down her bag as she looked at it. She realized that Zi Ran’s creativity in writing the proposal was very unique, and she gradually became absorbed in it.

Seeing Anhao looking at her new plan so seriously, Zi Ran said happily,””Everyone has left. I’ll stay here with you, okay? Sister Anhao, what are you doing here at this hour? To sort out the follow-up documents? Should I help you?”

“No need.” Anhao’s gaze did not leave the proposal in her hand. She said as she looked at it,””I came to get some things. I’ll leave in a while. You go first.”

“Alright, then. Oh, by the way, Qiu kept looking at your office before she left today. She had a strange look in her eyes. Be careful. I’m afraid she’ll hate you if she didn’t hit you in the office that day.”

Anhao smiled,”I know.””

After Zi Ran left, Anhao put down the proposal in her hand and looked up at the empty office in front of her. She then casually opened the drawer under her desk and looked at the diamond necklace and gold bracelet inside.

Because everyone was taking a bus to the hotel where the celebration party was held, all the colleagues in the office had to gather in front of the government office at 5:30 pm to wait for the bus.

Anhao hadn’t changed yet, so she arrived early. When everyone arrived, she realized that many of the young female colleagues had changed into all kinds of beautiful gowns or dresses. The men were also wearing shirts and trousers. It seemed that the people in the design department were indeed very high-class.

Xiao Qiu arrived late. Minister Qin and a few other department heads were about to arrange for someone to pick her up when Xiao Qiu finally arrived. When they arrived, they found that Xiao Qiu, who usually wore all kinds of jewelry to work, was wearing only a beautiful dress. Her wrists and neck were clean and unadorned.

Everyone looked at her curiously and didn’t ask. Minister Qin, however, glanced at Xiao Qiu unhappily.””The celebration banquet is a collective activity of the government and the government. It’s no different from going to work. I gave you an afternoon off, how can you be late?”

Xiao Qiu had just walked over when she heard Minister Qin’s criticism and said anxiously,””Minister Qin, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be late. I just realized that I lost something before I came here. I couldn’t find it for a long time, so I rushed over, but I was still a few minutes late.”

As Xiao Qiu spoke, she turned to look at her colleagues.”Did you see the necklace and the gold bracelet I wore the day before yesterday?”

Her colleagues looked at her in confusion and shook their heads in unison.”I didn’t see it, but Qiu, do you mean you lost your jewelry?”

Xiao Qiu’s eyes reddened as she said anxiously,”Yes, yes! My necklace and bracelet are missing! That necklace is very expensive. It costs more than 10,000 yuan to buy it from the store. It costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to buy it from the store. The bracelet is also very expensive, worth more than 10,000 yuan. I was wearing it well, but I put it in my bag yesterday to prepare for today’s dress. But today, I realized that they were all gone ”

Hearing Qiu’s words, Minister Qin, who was about to arrange for a car to come over, turned to look at her.”What’s wrong? What was this group of people doing here? Did you lose something?”

“Minister Qin, I lost two pieces of my jewelry. They’ve been in my bag all this time. I usually leave my bag in my office or carry it home. Before I came here just now, I searched for it at home for a long time, but I couldn’t find it. I’m sure someone saw that the jewelry I’ve been wearing recently was too expensive and stole it!””

As soon as Xiao Qiu said that, the few colleagues in the office immediately backed away with a change in expression. They all looked as if this had nothing to do with them.

Of course, Xiao Qiu’s words implied that the thief was among them, which meant that everyone in the office was a suspect. Of course, no one was willing to bear the responsibility of such an inexplicable theft.

Stealing from the office was not a small matter. Minister Qin frowned and glanced at Xiao Qiu.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Anhao, who was standing in the crowd with the same surprised expression as everyone else.””Director Gu, you are the person-in-charge of the design department. What do you think of this? After all, this incident happened in your design department’s office. We can’t let everyone attend the celebration party with such doubts. I’ll give you half an hour to resolve this matter. Otherwise, none of you can go tonight!”

The colleagues ‘eyes were filled with fear and disappointment. They were afraid that they would be framed for stealing. After all, they were all in the same office as Qiu. They were disappointed that they were all ready to attend the celebration party. It would be too disappointing if they couldn’t go because of such a small incident.

Anhao nodded and said,”I didn’t expect this to happen either. Half an hour ” I’ll try my best. After all, I can’t be sure if someone in the office really took Qiu’s things. Everything still needs to be verified.”

“What else is there to verify!” Xiao Huan, the female colleague who had been hiding things in the office with Xiao Qiu the other day, suddenly chimed in.”Who in our office doesn’t get along with Qiu? Everyone knows that, right?”

All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes fell on Anhao. A few people who were standing beside Anhao quietly took two steps back, with an expression that said,” I know the truth, so I have to stay away.”
