Chapter 977: Stealthy Substitute

When she heard that she was mistaken, Tao Yueyue felt a little disappointment in her heart, but Xu Xiaodong comforted her in a low voice, "This kind of thing is normal. If you don't exclude the wrong ones, how can you catch the right one?"

Be that as it may, Tao Yueyue was still very unwilling to accept this. She had hoped that she could win honour and be praised by Chen Shi.

Chen Shi projected a photo onto the white screen. The photo was of an unprepossessing middle-aged man who was balding slightly and wore glasses. The wrinkles at the corners of his mouth made him seem a little unapproachable.

Zou Lei harbored a grudge, and at one point he posted a lot of negative comments about the company on the Internet.

"During his period of unemployment, Zou Lei lived in dire poverty, and then the observer of humanity found him..."

Someone raised his hand and asked, "Is the observer of humanity that he mentioned Hai Guoyang?"

Chen Shi shook his head. "He didn't specify the name of the observer of humanity. When the transcriber asked him whether the observer was a ‘he’ or a ‘she’,
