Jiang He frowned.
What was going on today?
Was his house this lively?
He answered, studying the woman before him and saying, "I'm Jiang He. Who are you?"
There was a flash of surprise in the woman's eyes, but she soon recovered. Taking two steps forward, she extended her hand and said, "Greetings, Mister Jiang. I'm Wu Yueru, the chief of Lingzhou City's Department of Education. I didn't expect you to be younger than I imagined, Mister Jiang."
Jiang He extended his hand as well.
Eh?
That was when he realized that he was still holding the eggplant. He had been thinking about something just now, and ended up stuffing it into Wu Yueru's hand.
"It's so big and thick … it's an eggplant!"
Wu Yueru looked down at the thick purple-black eggplant in her hand, while Jiang He carried it behind his back and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Chief Wu. I just got out of the fields and didn't have time to put down the eggplant I just plucked."
Putting the eggplant aside, he studied Wu Yueru a few more times and frowned. "Chief Wu … excuse me, but are you really the chief of the Department of Education? I've met the chief more than once when I went to the Department of Education to claim my stipend. "
Jiang He stared at Wu Yueru cautiously and continued, "Moreover, the chief of Lingzhou City's Department of Education is a man named Yang."
"You're talking about Yang Wancheng, right?"
Wu Yueru said. "Yang Wancheng was the previous chief of the Department of Education, but he has been transferred away from Lingzhou City. I've only been appointed recently."
Jiang He could more or less confirm her identity at the mention of Yang Wancheng's name, and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Chief Wu. I've been a little cautious, so I hope you don't blame me, Chief Wu."
"It's only right to be cautious. According to what I know, Mister Jiang had foiled the Sky Demon Cult's plans more than once, and given how the Sky Demon Cult operates, they would definitely retaliate against Mister Jiang if they receive information about him."
Jiang He's gaze twitched.
It seemed that Director Wu didn't know much about his situation.
She probably would not say that if she knew that he had killed the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General.
Jiang He looked around.
Though his mansion was finished, it was not renovated. There were only two round stools outside, and not even tea.
Pulling the stool over, Jiang He said, "Please, have a seat, Chief Wu."
Wu Yueru sat down.
She was wearing a white blouse, a short black skirt, and silk stockings. She looked a little like a female teacher in a certain drama Jiang He had watched before.
Still, Jiang He was a little disappointed that she had clamped her thighs after sitting down, and did not expose herself to seduce him like the female teacher in the drama.
Jiang He cut to the chase and said, "Chief Wu, we didn't know each other before, did we? You're looking for me today … for something? "
Wu Yueru then asked, "Mister Jiang, have you heard of the Lingzhou City Martial Arts Academy?"
Seeing that Jiang He nodded, she cut to the chase and said, "I would like to invite you to become the vice-dean of the Lingzhou City Martial Arts Academy."
"Hmm?"
Jiang He frowned, but soon shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid that won't work. I didn't study teaching in university, and though I did take the teaching exam after I graduated, I didn't pass. How am I supposed to work without a teacher's certificate? You will mislead them. "
Wu Yueru's mouth hung open, as if not expecting Jiang He to say that.
Pushing up her glasses frame with her fair fingers, she said, "A teacher's certificate isn't a problem. I could help you with it right away if you're willing, Mister Jiang."
"Well …"
Jiang He asked meekly, "Doesn't that mean I have to go through the back door?"
"Moreover, as you can see, Chief Wu, I have a huge vegetable garden to look after. How would I have the time to go to the Martial Arts Academy?"
"Most importantly … you might not know this, Chief Wu, but I, Jiang He, am actually a martial arts newbie."
"…"
Wu Yueru felt as if Jiang He was teasing her, but Jiang He looked serious. Moreover, how could such a handsome man be so frivolous?
She smiled. "Mister Jiang, you just have to hold a position, and you could teach a class if you're willing … since the Martial Arts Academy has just been established and we don't have enough teachers, we won't force you if you're not willing to teach students."
"That won't do. That's not proper work!"
Jiang He tactfully refused Wu Yueru.
Before she left, Wu Yueru gave Jiang He a name card and said, "Mister Jiang, you can call my private number if you've thought it through."
Wow!
Jiang He was left speechless.
Private number?
She wouldn't … have any bad thoughts towards him, right?
"If she really is interested in me, I'll suggest she buy a few corns. Only an office lady's outfit would feel good when it bursts out of her shirt."
Jiang He muttered to himself.
He glanced up at the sky to see that the west was overflowing with sunset, but he had not even had dinner.
His house had not been renovated, but the electricity was connected and there was a rice cooker and a frying pan. Jiang He went home and steamed a pot of rice and cooked a plate of stir-fried eggplant over meat, but he did not want to wash the pot after he was done.
"Not liking to wash pots is a common failing of all men …"
Jiang He sighed, but then had an idea and muttered, "Maybe I could get a babysitter?"
"No, no. I'm still young. Why would I need a babysitter?"
"Wouldn't others laugh at me if they saw this? If you want to find someone, you should look for a maid, the kind that is young and beautiful, and wear a maid outfit … "
… …
Lingzhou City.
The Martial Arts Department (MAD).
Duan Tianhe could not help being amused by his subordinate's report. "The newly appointed head of the MAD? A B-class Awakened whose superpower is telekinesis? "
"Did she go to Jiang He?"
"Haha! I don't have to think about it — she must have been snubbed. Still, that's fine. If Jiang He really went to the Martial Arts Academy, he might tear it apart."
Cheng Dongfeng, who was sipping tea on the sofa opposite Duan Tianhe could not help saying, "Old Duan, that's where you're wrong. How many times has Jiang He unknowingly helped you? How could you lie about Jiang He behind his back? "
Heh!
Duan Tianhe chuckled softly.
That's what you call lying?
You've been grumbling and cursing Jiang He every day before and after meals, and now that you don't dare to do it yourself, you're forbidding others from doing it?
"By the way, I heard that Wu Yueru has quite the background. Is she a descendant of the Wu family in Jingdu City? And she seems to know Mu Wanqiu? "
Cheng Dongfeng asked, before his tone suddenly turned serious. "Old Duan, the intelligence department had sent word that a large batch of elites from the Sky Demon Cult had returned to the country from overseas. I'm afraid that their next target would be Lingzhou City."
Duan Tianhe's gaze darkened.
He had learned about that before Cheng Dongfeng did!
