Chapter 221 Lost Data

After parting ways with Zachary, everything went smoothly for a week.

The project had reached the later stages, and the press conference date had been tentatively set during the meeting.

As the project leader, I was asked to present the project at the press conference.

The day before the conference, Rolf handed me the data he had compiled, suggesting I review it in advance. Though I suspected something was off, I still accepted it. Sure enough, on the day of the press conference, the data on the flash drive suddenly disappeared.

Staring at the empty folder on the screen, I instantly understood what had happened. The press conference was about to begin, and reporters were waiting for me. If I didn't have the data, this event would turn into a massive embarrassment for the company.

I caught a glimpse of Jack, who quickly concealed his gloating expression and put on a concerned look. Instead of accusing me directly, he turned to Rolf with a face full of anger. "What's wrong with you? How could you lose all the data? Why don't you just disappear instead?"
