Moreover, this is a loss that can't be compensated for with money!
"Which bastard did this! I'll kill him!"
"Lu Qi, don't be in such a hurry. Let's check the surveillance footage first."
Xu Qingqing regained her composure and quickly walked to the front desk. She asked the young girl on the morning shift to pull up the surveillance from last night.
The girl searched several times but couldn't find the surveillance footage from last night.
"Sister Xu Qingqing, the surveillance footage from 10 to 11 p.m. last night was deleted. And no one entered the storage room before that."
"What did you say?"
Xu Qingqing couldn't believe it. She walked around behind the girl and replayed the footage.
Sure enough, the footage for that one - hour period from 10 to 11 p.m. was completely gone.
"Master Hu! It must be Master Hu who did this!"
Lu Qi gasped angrily as he walked out, his body trembling slightly.
"He said yesterday that he would take revenge on me!"
Lu Qi gritted his teeth. Even though the nails of his tightly - clenched fists dug deep into his flesh, it couldn't match the hatred in his heart.
Lu Qi was completely heartbroken. He had been so kind to Master Hu, but not only did Master Hu not appreciate it, he even wanted to kill him!
He wanted to completely ruin Lu Qi's business!
"Call the front - desk staff who was on duty last night. He let Master Hu in without permission. I won't forgive them!"
Lu Qi was so emotional that he slammed his hand on the front - desk table. But due to the rush of anger, his head started to spin, and he almost fell.
The front - desk staff immediately called: "Hello... Liu Yuanyue, were you on duty last night?"
"Come to the store right away. Something has happened in the store!"
While the front - desk girl was on the phone, Xu Qingqing pulled Lu Qi aside and told him to control his emotions and take a good rest.
Lu Qi rubbed his hair vigorously. He felt like he was on the verge of a breakdown.
"The vases in the first row were supposed to be taken away today. I really don't know how to explain this to the customers..."
Lu Qi sat on the chair with a worried face. He pushed the breakfast away irritably.
Xu Qingqing had never seen him so dejected before. She sat down and comforted him softly.
"Try to ask them for an extension first. I'll find a way to repair their vases to make them look the same as before."
"Xu Qingqing, you're really my savior!"
Lu Qi gratefully grabbed Xu Qingqing's hand. But after just three seconds, he thought about what would happen if Lu Chuanbai knew that he had held his wife's hand, so he reluctantly let go.
"The repair work will definitely be a huge task and will take a long time. Can you handle it?"
Lu Qi asked worriedly.
Because Xu Qingqing had come home late before, Lu Chuanbai often called to question him. If that happened this time, Lu Chuanbai might come and kill him with a knife because he had been alone at home for too long!
"How do we know if we don't try?" Xu Qingqing smiled easily.
Moreover, she had an ace up her sleeve.
That was the system. Even if she couldn't complete the task at that time, using the system's repair function would save her a lot of trouble.
"Okay!"
Xu Qingqing's words and attitude gave Lu Qi the courage to cheer up again.
"I'll communicate well with the customers."
Then Lu Qi called someone to find Master Hu.
Master Hu had been wandering around Chengde Street early, waiting to see Lu Qi's misfortune.
The person sent by Lu Qi almost didn't have to look hard before they ran into Master Hu and dragged him into the store.
"You bastards! You kicked me out yesterday, and now you drag me in. What the hell do you want!"
Master Hu sat on the ground and protested. Lu Qi ignored him. The whole antique store was shrouded in a low - pressure atmosphere.
Five minutes later, Liu Yuanyue, the staff on duty last night, rushed into the antique store out of breath, holding her coat and wearing square - framed glasses.
As soon as Liu Yuanyue entered the store, she loudly asked, "What happened!"
Lu Qi frowned and walked up to Liu Yuanyue, looking down at her. "Why did you let Master Hu in last night?"
"Why did you let him cause damage in the store and delete the surveillance footage!"
Liu Yuanyue looked extremely innocent. She blinked her eyes aggrievedly, looking like she knew nothing.
"Boss, I didn't let Master Hu in last night."
"Not only Master Hu, after you all left work, no one came back except Sister Xu Qingqing."
"What did you say? I left right after work last night. I didn't come back."
Xu Qingqing was suddenly involved. She stood up to prove her innocence.
"I left around 8:30. Don't you remember? I even said goodbye to you."
"You did leave at 8:30, but then you said you forgot something and came back."
Liu Yuanyue looked at Xu Qingqing in confusion. Xu Qingqing's sincere expression didn't seem like she was faking it.
Some of the restorers were jealous of Xu Qingqing because she had taken on a major role and got a high salary as soon as she came to the store. When they heard what Liu Yuanyue said, they all sneered and tried to take advantage of the situation.
"Oh! Could it be that someone did something bad but doesn't dare to admit it and wants to frame someone else!"
"Liu Yuanyue is so hard - working. She would never lie. Xu Qingqing, just admit it. Don't waste our time anymore!"
"She did something wrong but doesn't admit it. I really don't know why the boss values her so much!"
Hearing the sarcasm from these restorers, Lu Qi's face became more and more ugly.
Master Hu, who was sitting on the ground, showed a gloating smile and pushed up his glasses that had slid down to the tip of his nose.
"Xu Qingqing, are you worthy of Lu Qi's cultivation after doing such a disgraceful thing? You're so embarrassing!"
As he said that, Master Hu patted his own face, pretending to be disgusted.
As if he had really seen Xu Qingqing sneaking into the storage room in the middle of the night and breaking the vases.
Xu Qingqing remained unmoved and unaffected. She was as calm and upright as ever.
"I won't admit to something I didn't do. It's useless for you to pour dirty water on me."
"Who's pouring dirty water on you!"
"We're just telling the truth!"
The restorers who felt offended retorted.
Liu Yuanyue looked disappointed and righteous as she stared at Xu Qingqing.
"Sister Xu Qingqing, now I finally know why you asked me to leave early and helped me close the door! It turns out you wanted to delete the surveillance footage!"
Liu Yuanyue's words caused an uproar. To prove that it was Xu Qingqing who had caused the damage, Liu Yuanyue used the computer to show everyone the record of the employee card being used to enter the storage room last night.
"Everyone can see that at 10:05 last night, Xu Qingqing's employee card was used once and she didn't come out until 10:59."
It seemed so reasonable. If Xu Qingqing didn't know that she had gone home to sleep last night, she would almost have believed it.
No wonder her employee ID was face - up this morning. It turned out to be a pre - meditated frame - up.
"Boss, what are you still waiting for! Make her pay for it and send her to the police station!"
The other restorers were indignant and urged Lu Qi, who had been silent.
