After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang
Chapter 89 The Empty Workstation
Xiao Yi probably didn't understand what had gone wrong with Guo Qi today. His ever-changing gentle face actually showed some cracks. Under the curious gazes of so many students and colleagues behind the glass curtain wall, he tried his best to endure his emotions that were on the verge of collapse. Shen Zhao actually noticed the curve of his tightly pursed lips and the resentful look in his eyes that he tried hard to hide under his slightly drooping eyelashes.
The clenched fist was pressed tightly against the trouser leg and slightly hidden behind it. If Shen Zhao did not know him well, she would think like everyone else that this was just a farce of a boss finding fault with his subordinates.
In fact, what Guo Qi said was absolutely right. After Sheng Baiyi's death, Guan Qi, who cared about her the most, couldn't sleep at night and had no appetite. The person who should have gone to the funeral home first to verify her identity did not show up. When she wanted to find him, he was holding the woman she knew before. His life was still going on in an orderly manner, and he was even living a more enjoyable life than before.
Today he can still take students on tours of the company, and his every move shows that he is living a good life, even in high spirits.
But what about Guo Qi?
Shen Zhao narrowed her eyes and stared at her former boss who did not give Xiao Yi any face. She had not had much contact with him before. She only knew that he was the company's CEO. Moreover, because his whereabouts were erratic and he was hard to find, she had few opportunities to run into him in the company. The most contact she had with him was probably during the period before her death.
The research on their latest drug was conducted in secret, and only a few people knew about it, including Guo Qi who gave the order and Sheng Baiyi who was fully responsible.
So when Sheng Baiyi disappeared from the company with the information, everyone's first reaction was that she had escaped with the company's secrets. Even the police thought so. No one thought she had been murdered.
Guo Qi is highly suspicious, but if it were him, wouldn't it be a bit too much to confront Xiao Yi in public?
For a dead person.
At this time, Xiao Yi did not choose to swallow his anger. He looked at the students who had gathered together to gossip silently, and smiled warmly, "I believe you are also curious about what our laboratory looks like and how it operates. Why don't you go in and take a look while our President Guo is here?"
He threw the question to Guo Qi.
Guo Qi naturally had to catch it, but Guo Qi was not a person who liked to obey others. If others made him feel uncomfortable, he would not let that person have an easy time either!
Guo Qi turned around and looked at the children. When his eyes fell on Shen Zhao, Shen Zhao could clearly feel his pupils brightened a little, but it was fleeting, like an illusion, and then he heard what he said.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Guo Qi put on a professional smile and shed his nonchalant look. At this moment, he really looked like an industry elite.
Some girls were so fascinated by him that they nodded involuntarily.
"But what can we do?" Guo Qi smiled playfully. "That's a place that one of our former colleagues often went to. You've heard about how tragically she died. She was drowned in a pond!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Yi who was standing diagonally behind him. Sure enough, his face was completely black and he looked so ferocious that he could hardly control himself.
Those students shook their heads, their eyes filled with fear.
Guo Qi was not afraid of trouble. He walked a few steps and raised his finger to point to an empty workstation separated by two layers of glass curtain walls. "See it? Over there, it's very clear, right? That's where that colleague worked before she died. It's still empty for her now. Do you know why?"
The students shook their heads timidly and let Guo Qi talk to himself.
"That's because no one can compare to her. Some people seem to want to sit in that seat, but I decided to leave it empty out of caution!"
After saying that, Xiao Yi's face lost all its warmth and turned ashen. He didn't even want to care about his students. Just then, a colleague walked by the corridor, and Xiao Yi grabbed the man's shoulder. The man glanced at Xiao Yi in horror.
"Are you free?" Xiao Yi asked coldly. It was a question, but it sounded more like a threat and an order.
The man was a man with good eyesight. He glanced at Xiao Yi at this moment, then looked at the others. When he saw Guo Qi's playful look, he paused, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. The hand that was clamped on his shoulder became tighter and tighter, as if to crush his bones. In the end, he succumbed to the violence.
"I'm free...I'm free..."
"Then the task of showing the students around will be given to you."
"it is good……"
The man holding a pile of documents suddenly let go like a deflated ball, and all the documents fell to the ground. Shen Zhao was closest to him, and the documents fell at her feet. Naturally, she was willing to do such a helpful thing.
Shen Zhao squatted down and picked up the documents one by one. Some documents leaked out. She paused for a moment before she quickly put them away. When she handed the document to the man, she could clearly feel the unusual look he gave her. She naturally knew the reason, but she still said politely, "Here you go."
The man's cheeks flushed and he took it readily. "Thank you. I'll take you to continue the tour after I put the documents away."
Seeing that they didn't take him seriously at all, Xiao Yi just turned around and left. They were just students, some with no achievements, and some who hadn't even finished college. If he didn't give them face, they couldn't do anything to him. Besides, he was now at the peak of his career in the company, and no one dared to stop him except Guo Qi. If it weren't for the character he had established before, he would have not cared about other people's faces.
Guo Qi glanced at Xiao Yi's departing back, then politely said to the students, "Our Director Xiao is a little busy, but your tour will not stop. I'll let Xiao Ran lead the way for you later. I told you that you can visit the lab as well!"
Xiaoran smiled awkwardly and quickly left the scene with the documents in his arms. He had already received Mr. Guo's hint that he had to take the job no matter what!
A girl looked worried and asked quietly, "Didn't you say before that the empty seat belonged to the deceased colleague?" She pointed in the direction of the glass curtain wall and asked, "Then are you still letting us visit?"
Guo Qi didn't care. "Have you seen the researchers still working inside? Are they scared? People die every day, maybe those around us, or those who are far away, but it doesn't stop us from remembering them, right? As long as I work here for one day, I will keep that empty seat there, as a remembrance of that colleague."
Shen Zhao was shocked when she heard this. She seemed to have gotten to know Guo Qi all over again. So who was the more suspicious?
