QT: The Host is Listless

1.11

"In the first place, Y&N Corporation isn't a good thing," Ye Xiao, who had finally regained his composure, began to complain. His voice was filled with indignation as he switched on a tablet he pulled out from his bag. Placing the tablet on the table and switching it to a file, the stolen documents he took from the corporation were on full display.

Ye Xiao, as it seemed, had zero guards up against Shen Yi.

Eason gave his friend a look before turning his focus to the tablet, "Oh? I see you've been busy collecting feedback, huh?"

Indeed, on the tablet were comments, one after another, from various employees inside the corporation. The majority of the comments were dully neutral as if phrased carefully so they wouldn't reveal their innermost thoughts, some of them were positive to the point they sounded fanatical, while the bravest ones all had comments that showcase the true harsh reality of being an employee in the Y&N Corporation.

The one that caught Shen Yi's eyes was one of those negative comments:

「 After our esteemed president fired Lan Xing-jie, the entire R&D she used to be the head of completely dropped to a freezing point and every single collaboration she represented and made a connection with fell through. In my opinion, firing Lan Xing-jie was the second dumbest thing that Ye Jun had done right after employing her new replacement. Her new replacement isn't just a nepotism baby, but also one with a competency worse than a toddler. Frankly, I hope this company goes bankrupt. If I don't get fired, I'll resign in two weeks, so feel free to publish my feedback. 」

"Heh?" Shen Yi's lips curved up into a smile full of malicious intent, "Who is this person?"

Ye Xiao looked over to the comment he was tapping, the name was written as "Deputy Head of the R&D Department, Ouyang Yi."

He was a man in his twenties with quite the resume and supposedly, the first corporation he applied towards wasn't even Y&N Corp but rather, he was scouted by the government directly. Having rejected that and running over to the Y&N Corp, he was placed right under the authority of Lan Xing, who at that time, was a senior in charge of many projects.

By the time Lan Xing had reached the point of being the Head of the entire department, it is presumed that this Ouyang Yi had completely worshipped her as his master.

"Oh, it's Xiao Yi," Lan Xing leaned over to get a better look. Her lips curled up into a half-grimace, half-sorrowful smile as her eyes flickered from side to side, reading the comment her junior co-worker had written down. She seemed to be remembering something as her eyes gained a blank yet glazed look in them, "I remember him, he was a diligent guy. When we first hired him, I think he talked everyone's ears off while trying to show off his research."

"Sounds interesting," Eason laughed, "Reminds me of myself!"

"Ming'er," Ye Xiao called out, earning a dark look from Lan Xing again, "Instead of acquiring the company, how about making one with me? We can save them, save the workers that are abused by the Y&N Corp and take them in."

Shen Yi paused in his thoughts, honing in on the word Ye Xiao had just used. Then, with a glint filled with amusement, he prompted, "Save them?"

Eason groaned, "I told you to stop saying shit like saving people, Ah Xiao."

"What's wrong with saying I'm saving them?" Ye Xiao instantly looked affronted, righteously defending himself, "That stupid Ye Jun is an evil boss and the employees under him are clearly being mistreated, taking them away from him is tantamount to saving them from a toxic environment."

Lan Xing leaned over to Shen Yi, hovering close by his ears, "This guy... is so different from his brother," she whispered.

Shen Yi made an agreeable noise. What an interesting character to place on the antagonistic side, then again, he supposed that anyone who went against the protagonist was an antagonist.
