Chapter 150: Give her a chance to admit her mistake
Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Chu Miao looked at her with a half-smile: "Don't hold it against me? Why?"
"Hasn't everything been perfectly resolved? There's no need to pursue it any further," Jiang Nan said.
"Why wouldn't it be necessary?" Chu Miao tilted her head: "The PPT inexplicably turned into a blank document, and all our hard work was almost wasted. You can say you won't pursue it? You're so magnanimous."
Her last sentence was spoken with a rising tone, carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Seeing that Lu Cheng and the others were looking over, Jiang Nan pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Chu Miao took out her phone and showed it to the staff member; the version she had sent him was the normal one.
"The version I sent you is the normal version, there are no problems at all, and it has already been accepted on your end."
The staff member quickly replied, "After receiving it, I put it directly into the folder and didn't touch it at all!"
"I know you haven't touched it."
Chu Miao said, "But if a perfectly good document suddenly becomes blank, someone must have tampered with it behind the scenes."
"Just check the modification history," Cheng Lu said.
The route information reminded the staff, "Oh, right!"
They can also check records!
If someone has indeed changed it, the records can definitely be found!
The staff hurriedly opened the file's modification history, which showed that it had indeed been modified, and just half an hour ago!
It was just about to begin the lecture.
The back office was very busy at that time, and the staff were also busy debugging the equipment and were not in front of the computer.
"It actually got changed!"
The staff exclaimed in surprise!
He left because he was too busy, and who would have thought that someone would actually maliciously delete someone else's PowerPoint presentation?
This incident is absolutely outrageous!
The staff members' faces turned angry: "Student Chu, don't worry, I will definitely find out who did this! This is absolutely outrageous! The only people who can get backstage are those who are going on stage or staff members. I will definitely investigate this thoroughly!"
"I'll go check the surveillance footage!"
"There's monitoring in the backend! I'll check it right now!"
The staff member said angrily!
“The surveillance might not be enough…” another staff member said with difficulty: “There is surveillance in the back office, but the computer is placed in a blind spot, which blocks the surveillance. I’m afraid we won’t be able to find anything.”
When Jiang Nan heard about checking the surveillance footage, her heart jumped into her throat.
But when they heard that the computer was in a blind spot of the surveillance and they couldn't find it, their hearts settled down.
She stepped forward and said, "The most important thing now is to keep the exchange meeting going. We can talk about other things later. Chu, we are also heartbroken that the PPT was destroyed. After all, Lu Cheng and I made the PPT together, so we are the ones who are most heartbroken."
"But let's not cause any more trouble for everyone, let's just leave it at that, okay?"
She acted as if she was willing to sacrifice herself for everyone's good.
Chu Miao, however, wouldn't tolerate her: "How is finding out the truth causing trouble, Jiang? There's only one kind of person in this world who doesn't want the truth to come out, and that's the real culprit behind it all."
"What did you say!"
Jiang Nan's eyelids twitched, and she instinctively screamed in protest, "I... I just didn't want to cause trouble for everyone! Chu, don't talk nonsense!"
"Don't worry, Chu, we'll definitely find out the truth. Please wait patiently while we check the surveillance footage," the staff member said. "If someone dared to make a move, they would definitely leave some clues." After saying that, the staff member went to check the surveillance footage. The group of top students were also indignant, but they still had to go on stage.
They could only comfort Chu Miao and Lu Cheng, telling them not to worry too much and that they would definitely find out.
To prevent this from happening again, they now check their PowerPoint presentations before going on stage to make sure there are no problems.
……
The entire backstage area was abuzz with discussion about who had secretly altered the PowerPoint presentation. Feeling a bit uneasy, Jiang Nan went out to the corridor for some fresh air.
"What, are you feeling guilty for doing something wrong and afraid to stay inside?"
She had just stepped into the corridor when the woman's cold voice rang out.
Jiang Nan's eyelids twitched violently, and she hurriedly turned around, only to see Chu Miao standing against the wall as well.
She crossed her arms, leaned against the white wall, and casually watched her.
He was also holding a cell phone in one hand.
Jiang Nan bit her lip. "Classmate Chu, please don't say such targeted and misleading things. What bad thing have I done? Why would I feel guilty?"
There were only the two of them in the corridor. Chu Miao didn't waste any more words with Jiang Nan and went straight to the point: "Jiang Nan, I'm giving you a chance. Now, if you admit that you secretly modified the PPT and apologize to me, I can let it go."
She then revealed that she had secretly altered the PowerPoint presentation. Jiang Nan was initially startled, and subconsciously looked around to make sure no one had heard before letting out a sigh of relief. She then quickly calmed down.
"Chu! You can't just say things like that! You're slandering me! I know you want to find the real culprit, but how could you suspect me? We made the PPT together, why would I ruin our hard work? How could you suspect me?"
Chu Miao said impatiently, "I don't want to hear your excuses. You know in your heart whether you did it or not. I'm not saying it in front of everyone to save face for you."
"Your act of secretly modifying the PPT isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either. However, if it's exposed in front of everyone, your reputation will be ruined. Do you really want me to tell others about it?"
Jiang Nan's heart raced as she heard about the bad things she had done.
But considering that Chu Miao hadn't proven that she was the one who did it, she wasn't so panicked anymore.
She deliberately avoided the cameras, and the staff have been investigating for so long without finding anything, so they definitely won't be able to find anything in the end.
Chu Miao said that to trick her into admitting it, but she wouldn't be so stupid as to admit it!
As long as she doesn't admit it, there's nothing she can do about it!
Thinking of this, Jiang Nan suddenly became righteous and assertive: "Classmate Chu, do you have to target me like this? I've already said that I didn't do this! If you insist that I did it, then I hope you can provide evidence!"
"If you can't provide evidence, I'm fully prepared to sue you!"
Chu Miao looked at her, her eyes gradually turning cold.
You won't cry until you see the coffin.
She genuinely didn't want to push things too far, considering her young age and the fact that they were both girls, and wanted to give her a chance to admit her mistake. But she completely refused that chance.
"I'll give you one last chance." Chu Miao said expressionlessly, "Are you sure you won't admit your mistake?"
Jiang Nan was even more convinced that her guess was correct; Chu Miao simply had no evidence, which was why she kept asking her.
If she had evidence, she would have presented it to the staff and the leaders of the Education Bureau long ago.
Why would you ask her here?
