Since the last incident, Kevin’s displeasure with Meng Yu and Meng Xia had been obvious. He nodded at Song Fan, indicating he was heading to his office, and Song Fan nodded in understanding.

Li Na had intended to follow, but she stayed behind when she saw the ruby necklace.

The necklace was indeed beautiful, featuring a classic phoenix design. Gold formed the lines of the phoenix, with a few stunning rubies embedded in its eyes and tail.

Li Na looked at the necklace and muttered softly, “Isn’t the craftsmanship a bit rough?”

Meng Yu glared at her. “What do you know, kid? This is an antique. Do you know how rare it is for ancient people to create such an exquisite necklace?”

She then pushed the necklace box towards Song Fan, but Song Fan didn’t reach for it.

Meng Xia grabbed the box directly. “Mom, this is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful necklace. I’m the assistant manager, so why not let me keep it safe?”

Before Meng Xia could say more, some staff members brought in a batch of jewelry samples previously designed by the Song Corporation. Meng Xia waved her hand, “Alright, bring them all to my office. I need to study them thoroughly.”

The others glanced at Song Fan, who nodded in agreement. These jewelry pieces had no reference value for her as she already had new design ideas. Relying on old designs wouldn’t support the brand’s concept.

Meng Xia spent hours in her office taking selfies and editing photos with the new jewelry, leaving her no time to cause trouble, which relieved Song Fan.

Seeing the first day’s work end so smoothly, the liaison staff prepared to store all the jewelry in the safe. At that moment, a woman’s scream came from Meng Xia’s office, “The necklace? Where’s the necklace?”

Song Fan rushed over upon hearing the scream. Not only was Meng Xia frantically searching, but even the liaison staff was looking for something.

“What’s wrong with the necklace?” Song Fan sensed something serious had happened.

Meng Xia turned around quickly upon hearing her voice, “The necklace Mom brought this morning, the phoenix one, is missing!”

Song Fan frowned but said nothing. All the jewelry had been in Meng Xia’s office, and everyone in their department had eaten lunch in the office. No one could have come in. Could it be an inside job?

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Meng Xia shouted, “Do you suspect me? Would I steal my own family’s stuff? Besides, I’m the future Mrs. Brown!”

Although she hadn’t yet grasped the reality, Song Fan could tell she wasn’t lying.

“Then call the police,” Song Fan said, taking out her phone, her eyes fixed on Meng Xia to see if there was any reaction.

“Yes, call the police!” To Song Fan’s surprise, Meng Xia agreed wholeheartedly. “And check the surveillance cameras. There are cameras in the office, right? Check them!”

Wen Chao interrupted, “Let’s search first. The office isn’t that big. Maybe it’s just been misplaced. If we call the police, it could have a huge impact on the company. You know how people love to speculate online.”

Wang Wei nodded in agreement and joined the search for the necklace.

After half an hour, Meng Yu arrived with a team of people.

“The necklace is missing, and we need everyone’s help.” Meng Yu looked sincere. “This necklace is invaluable, and I insured it with your company. You don’t want to pay for it, do you? So please help us find it.”

“How did you know the necklace was missing?” Song Fan asked.

“I told Mom. This is a big deal, and she should know. After all, she’s the mistress of the Song Family!” Meng Xia’s words made Meng Yu very pleased.

Remembering her main purpose, Meng Yu quickly said, “These people are insurance investigators. I insured that necklace, and they’re here to help find it. If it’s lost, it would be a disaster.”

The head insurance investigator looked around and didn’t allow anyone to enter Meng Xia’s office. “Mrs. Song, the necklace is extremely valuable. Since it’s already missing, we should call the police. We’ve contacted them to avoid damaging the scene.”

“Who told you to call the police?” Meng Yu’s face was full of anger. Seeing everyone looking at her, she said, “The Song Corporation’s jewelry brand is about to launch. Calling the police now would look bad. People might not trust Song Corporation’s security measures and hesitate to buy our jewelry!”

She glanced around at the others, and Wen Chao nodded in agreement, making her feel even more pleased.

“Fanfan, this is your first project at Song Corporation. You can’t let it go wrong. I think it’s better to let the insurance investigators help first and not call the police yet.”
