Question about それに following a verb in dictionary form
So for context, 会長 doesn't like the speaker and he just said something to make 会長 think even less of him. Could someone give an explanation on why それに is directly following a verb and what its doing.
会長の目つきが汚物を見るそれに変わった。

「会長{かいちょう}の目{め}つきが汚物{おぶつ}を見{み}るそれに変{か}わった。」
The core structure of this sentence is:
「X が Y に変わった。」
"X turned into Y."
X = 会長の目つき
Y = （人が）汚物を見る目つき
In order to avoid using 「目つき」 twice, the author is using 「それ」 here.
"The chairman's expression turned into that of a man looking at filth."
Other examples:
「ロシアの冬{ふゆ}は日本のそれよりも寒{さむ}い。」 ("The winters in Russia are colder than those in Japan.")
「あの人の音楽{おんがく}の趣味{しゅみ}は私のそれとは全{まった}く異{こと}なっている。」 ("That guy's taste in music is completely different from that of mine.")
「繁栄{はんえい}する会社{かいしゃ}と、衰退{すいたい}するそれとの違{ちが}いは何{なん}でしょうか。」 ("What are the differences between companies that flourish and those that decline?")
