2354 Look at the Forum, Prelude to a Slap!
They heard that Feng Yu went to the Level 5 laboratory’s lecture theater and had an intense argument with Gu Hengbo.
When Gu Hengbo returned, they surrounded him and asked with concern, “Team Leader Gu, are you alright?”
“Team Leader Gu, I heard that the dean ran to the lecture hall outside your laboratory to block you. Why did the dean look for you?”
“Is it because of what happened before?”
Gu Hengbo slammed the thermos flask on the desk and said in a low voice, unable to hide his anger, “He thinks that I’m spreading rumors in the research inst.i.tute.”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
However, seeing how angry Gu Hengbo was and how wronged he looked, they suspected they were thinking too much.
Someone coughed and said, “Ahem, many rumors have been circulating in the research inst.i.tute in the past two days. I’ve heard some… things about the dean and the Newcomer King.”
He then frowned and looked at Gu Hengbo. “But this matter is only circulating privately in the research inst.i.tute. Why did the dean say that you spread them? This is too much!”
Gu Hengbo’s face was cold as he narrowed his eyes. His tone was bad. “Why do you think I know?”
No one in the office dared to speak for a long time.
However, Feng Yu was too impulsive this time.
The main reason was that he went looking for Gu Hengbo without any relevant evidence.
Gu Hengbo spent many years setting up a persona for himself. A portion of the people in the research inst.i.tute approved of him.
Therefore, after Feng Yu ‘rashly’ went to look for Gu Hengbo, these people felt injustice for him from the bottom of their hearts.
Someone said, “The dean went too far this time. Since he heard the rumors in the research inst.i.tute, shouldn’t he show evidence to prove his innocence? He came to settle scores with someone without any evidence. It’s really… really a little unreasonable.”
The others thought so too, but no one said it directly like him.
Gu Hengbo’s anger eased a little. He magnanimously waved his hand and said in a low voice, “Forget it. He’s the dean of the First Research Inst.i.tute.”
“Even the dean can’t…”
Gu Hengbo glanced at them and sternly said, “Alright, stop talking. If word gets out, what will others think of our First Research Inst.i.tute? We’re all from the First Research Inst.i.tute. Do I still need to tell you the principle of ‘we’ll prosper together and be ruined together’?”
The more he tried to protect the First Research Inst.i.tute’s reputation, the more Feng Yu’s actions today made him appear less responsible and elegant as a dean!
Gu Hengbo stopped speaking and walked straight to the back of the desk and sat down. He turned on the computer with a tense expression as if devoting himself to work…
Some time pa.s.sed.
Gu Hengbo was calculating the speed at which things would ferment in his heart. His gaze was still on the computer screen, but his heart was in another world.
He really did not expect Feng Yu to be so impulsive and look for him directly. However, this was also good. It was more beneficial to him now that Feng Yu made a fuss and the matter blew up.
In a good mood, Gu Hengbo casually browsed through some information on the scientific research forum.
At this moment, someone in the office suddenly said, “Look at the forum!”
Gu Hengbo frowned and raised his head. He was about to scold them to be quiet and not disturb his ‘work’.
