Chapter 1219: If the Scorpion people ask
After Gu Yan hung up the phone, he heard the people from the research institute arguing inside.
"I am opposed to continuing with this project."
"I also feel it's inappropriate now. When we decided to come here, they said the research institute here would fully cooperate. What cooperation? What cooperation? We've been here for three months, and we haven't got anything we want. The conditions are so harsh. I can't take it anymore."
"I can't take it anymore. The conditions are tough, but it's also so dangerous here. I can't even imagine if the people who rescued us hadn't come today, would we have died here?"
"I'm leaving anyway, so I don't think there's any need to continue this project. What do you say, Team Leader?"
The team leader was silent. Before coming here, he had never thought it would be like this. He could overcome the harsh conditions, but he never thought it would be so difficult. He was not used to the food and drink. Moreover, they were caught yesterday, and those who arrested them didn't even ask any questions. They just picked him up and beat him. His life was in danger. How could he continue?
"This project..."
The team leader paused. "The boss originally said it would be very difficult, and that revenue generation would be the worst of all the projects. He originally said registration was free, and now—if you want to leave, I think you should have the freedom to choose. Everyone's very tired today. So, if anyone wants to leave, or has other ideas, please express your opinion now. I'll register here, and I'll report to the boss myself after I wake up."
After these words were spoken, a large group of people raised their hands.
"I want to leave."
"I want to go too."
Gu Yan stood not far from the window. From his perspective, he could see Leng Ruxue standing on one side of the crowd. She was very small and didn't say a word.
Gu Yan remembered that she was also very timid in the past.
When he was injured that year, she cried for the entire winter, so in Gu Yan's memory, the little girl never grew up. She was still the little girl whose eyes would turn red when she was sad.
The team leader sorted out the names, "Let me confirm, Xiaoxiao, Li Mingzhen, Wang Lisa, Chen Yu..."
(
There were fifteen people in total. In addition to the team leader, twelve people reported their names, including Ling Fei.
Leng Ruxue and another girl did not raise their hands.
The team leader then asked the girl, "Lily, are you sure you don't want to leave? Do you want to give you some time to think about it? After you submit your name, the boss will definitely have follow-up arrangements. Return flights and other things will also need to be booked at the same time. Think about it and tell me the result tomorrow."
The girl named Lily was quite hesitant, and after hearing what the team leader said, she also hesitated.
Gu Yan stood in the cold night with his arms folded, feeling a little confused.
Looking at how these people get along, Leng Ruxue is not a marginal figure. In fact, many times, the team leader would turn his head to ask Leng Ruxue's opinion on many things. How come at this time, when she said she wanted to leave, no one asked Leng Ruxue if she wanted to leave?
Everyone seemed to assume that she was the one who would stay.
Gu Yan didn't know much about the work of the research institute, but since it was research, it had its pros and cons, and market acceptance. To put it bluntly, the purpose of putting it on the market was to make money.
Combined with what those people just said, this research is not optimistic. Just look at the researchers stationed there and you will know. It is not a project valued by the institute. Why is Leng Ruxue insisting on it alone?
When Gu Yan saw that everyone was about to leave, the team leader smiled apologetically at Leng Ruxue.
Ling Fei also walked up to Leng Ruxue and said something. Leng Ruxue smiled, patted Ling Fei's hand, and signaled him not to worry.
"Oh, by the way," Leng Ruxue walked to the door, opened the conference room door and let everyone out. Suddenly, she paused, smiled and turned back to say softly to everyone: "I'm going to trouble you all. If the people from the Poison Scorpion ask about this later, don't tell them I didn't leave."
After she finished speaking, Leng Ruxue opened the door of the conference room with a smile.
After the door opened, the light from the conference room drew a long line on the ground. The line extended outward, and a man stood at the end of the light.
