Chi Gui tapped the armrest of the sofa and said to Fu Si, "You can stay if you want. But you can only sit here and watch, you can’t walk around freely. Do you agree?"
This was effectively a restriction on Fu Si’s movements.
Sitting here bored all afternoon, even Chi Gui himself didn’t think he could do it.
Chi Gui said this just to try to push Fu Si away.
Sure enough, upon hearing this request, Fu Si slightly raised an eyebrow.
Yet, he didn’t leave as Chi Gui had anticipated; instead, he asked an unrelated question with a smile, "When do you get off work?"
Chi Gui was taken aback but didn’t hide the truth. "Six in the afternoon."
The current research was more than halfway done, and she didn’t need to work overtime every day.
Fu Si nodded and stretched his long legs, sitting lazily on the sofa, his phoenix eyes glinting with a smile as he looked at Chi Gui, "I’ll wait for you to finish work."
Chi Gui: ...
She didn’t bother with Fu Si anymore, only turning to give Xu Wen a low-voiced instruction as she headed into the work area, "If he makes any unreasonable requests later, just say that I won’t allow it. If he decides to leave, send him out with the same courtesy we show Old Sir Fu."
"Got it." Xu Wen didn’t think Fu Si would be able to stand being there for a boring four hours.
All the staff busied themselves after the afternoon shift started.
After distributing the coffee, Qin Cheng was the first to leave.
Only Fu Si sat there alone, without anyone to talk to.
Xu Wen kept an eye on Fu Si, just waiting for him to ask to leave.
However, to Xu Wen’s surprise, for a full three hours Fu Si actually sat quietly on the sofa, browsing his phone, not only not making a sound to disturb their work but even deliberately treading lightly when he went to the restroom.
As the end of the workday approached, the other researchers were also astonished.
While Xu Wen and the others went out to deliver things, a female researcher couldn’t help gossiping, "Until today, I always thought Mr. Fu was a ruthless, arrogant person... but I didn’t expect... he’s nothing like the legends say..."
