Lin Qiao sat there alone for two minutes before Yuan Tianxing and the others walked in. Wu Chengyue was offered a guest seat, while Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng surely wouldn't take the seat in the middle. It was saved for Lin Qiao, who hadn't shown up yet. The two of them sat into the seats aside.
They didn't know that Lin Qiao was sitting there since long ago.
Wu Chengyue glanced at empty seat in the middle. None of the others noticed the meaningful look in his eyes.
Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng thought Lin Qiao would be expecting them in the conference room. However, they came in to find the room empty, which made them feel strange.
Xie Dong walked to Yuan Tianxing and whispered a few words to him. After hearing that, he nodded knowingly. Then, he said to Wu Chengyue, "I think our Chief is not free enough to welcome you in person. Hope you don't mind, Chief Wu."
