Chapter 178 Chapter 178 Seeing Jiang Zhi’s figure…

Seeing Jiang Zhi's figure, the leader's eyes were full of surprise.

Why is he here? Didn’t he go abroad?

"Jiang Zhi." The boy thought for a moment, then greeted the person approaching. He hesitated and asked, "You're back home. When did you come back?"

Jiang Zhi:?

"Return home?" he repeated.

"Yeah, everyone said you went abroad." The boy walked up to Jiang Zhi and asked casually, "Why are you back now? Didn't your family say you were supposed to go out and explore the local market?"

Jiang Zhi paused for a moment, but didn't interrupt him. He just said calmly, "Who told you that?"

"Xun Cang, who else could it be? You two are so close," the boy said bluntly. "He said you went to Australia to research how kangaroos are raised and eaten. Why did your family ask you to go there?"

This reason was ridiculous, but Xun Cang swore that he would not lie, so he accepted it half-heartedly.

I didn't expect to see Jiang Zhi here. Did he come back specifically for the exchange meeting?

I've never seen him so interested in an exchange meeting before.

"How's the kangaroo meat?" the boy added casually. "I don't think it's very tasty. Have you found a good way to eat it locally?"

Jiang Zhi nodded slightly: "Wait a moment."

He turned around and grabbed Xun Cang, who was trying to run away when they were not paying attention, and sneered: "Do you like kangaroos?"

Xun Cang was dragged back with a guilty conscience: "Well, I just said it casually."

When others ask him casually, he just talks about it casually.

"Very good, I can also send you to investigate how kangaroos are raised and eaten." Jiang Zhi said in a bad tone.

The leading boy silently took two steps back, realizing that he had probably been cheated.

I've said this reason is ridiculous, who would believe it?

Zhao Fu hadn't expected that such a simple mission as welcoming the exchange group would have such changes. He listened to the team leader who had just contacted him greet the people who came after him.

It’s just that the content of their conversation is… a bit weird.

Zhao Fu tightened his lips, knowing that if he laughed out loud at this moment, he would be doomed.

But I really want to laugh.

He silently reduced his presence while rapidly tapping his phone, trying to impress the person who hardly read messages on his phone with a large number of messages.

Where is Wen Qian going? Why hasn’t she come yet?

It’s fine if she didn’t come, but why is the president not here too?

Why was he left alone to face this situation? What should he do now? Try to stop the fight?

How could Wen Qian, who is always punctual, be late?

She could only blame the damn Lu Yanbai for slowing her down.

"Is it okay if we're late?" Wen Qian said casually, looking at the person next to him.

"It's okay." Lu Yanbai said calmly, "Zhao Fu will take care of it. We just went to say hello."

Before they reached the place, they heard faint sounds coming from inside the room.

"Why didn't she come with you?" Xun Cang asked with little interest, "So can I leave first?"

The team leader's expression remained unchanged, and he secretly complained: There is no need for you to show up.

In his heart, he was somewhat curious about who Xun Cang was talking about, as he didn't know if he had any acquaintances in Holy Thorn.

It can't be that you are talking about Lu Yanbai, right?

"You can go first. Even if you walk out of the school gate directly, no one will stop you." Jiang Zhi leaned back in his chair and said, he withdrew his gaze from the window. His expression looked normal, without any impatience.

Wen Qian said she was the receptionist, so she would definitely come, it was just a matter of time.

Seeing that Jiang Zhi was not in a hurry at all, Xia Zhiqing naturally did not make any extra moves. He turned sideways and chatted with the boy leading the team next to him from time to time.

The moment the door handle was pressed down, the three of them looked up at the door at the same time. Instead of seeing the person they wanted to see, they saw Lu Yanbai.

Seeing the three people making the same movements, the boy in charge froze in thought. What were they doing?

He was just about to say hello to Lu Yanbai, but before he could stand up, he saw a figure running quickly behind Lu Yanbai.

"Wen Qian!"

The boy watched Xun Cang pounce on Lu Yanbai, the girl behind him.

He was completely stunned, and when he saw Lu Yanbai with a bad expression, and Jiang Zhi and Xia Zhiqing standing up at the same time, his confusion became even deeper.

What's going on?

He was not the only one who was confused about the situation. The others who came with him, as well as the student union members of Holy Thorn who were responsible for welcoming the exchange group, all had the same mentality.

Shocked and a little overwhelmed.

Looking at the three people who stood up at the same time, they hesitated and stood up as well. With such a big scene, who was that girl?

Wen Qian, who was walking behind Lu Yanbai, heard Xun Cang's voice before she could see the situation in the room clearly. She subconsciously took a step back with her right foot, ready to deal with anyone who might pounce on her at any time.

Sure enough, Xun Cang came over - but was stopped.

"Wen Qian, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Xun Cang didn't care that he was stopped. He just looked at Wen Qian with a pitiful tone.

Wen Qian: "Long time? But we just met yesterday."

The results of yesterday's meals are still reflected in the hair color of the Holy Thorn students.

She didn't notice the subtle changes in the expressions of the people walking towards her.

Apparently, they took her words, "They had just seen it yesterday," to heart.

"It's been a long time since we last saw each other." Xun Cang said.

"Okay, long time no see." Wen Qian nodded and walked into the room.

Seeing a group of people standing upright in the room, not sitting on the chairs but standing there as punishment, her expression froze.

Wen Qian gave these people a strange look, then turned to look at Zhao Fu, who was also standing there as punishment: "You are welcoming others, but you won't let them sit down?"

What a strange rule.

Zhao Fu choked and lowered his voice, "No, there's no such rule. They only stood up after they saw you come in. To be more precise, when you came in."

Wen Qian was shocked. So these people stood up to greet her? So polite!

But isn't it the other way around? She is the one who greets people.

Wen Qian looked up and glanced at the system panel. The first task that had just been triggered this morning was [Welcome the Exchange Group].

【Task 1: Welcome the exchange group

Reward: Experience +800, Gold +300]

"Who is leading the team?" Wen Qian turned sideways and looked at Zhao Fu.

"Hello, it's me." Zhu Ze spoke before Zhao Fu.

He was a little curious about the girl in front of him. She seemed to be very familiar with Xun Cang and the others, but why had he never heard of her before?

Zhu Ze glanced at Xun Cang secretly, and was surprised to find that several people besides Xun Cang were also paying attention to her.

Judging from the looks of it, it shouldn't just be an acquaintance, right?

"Really? Welcome to Holy Thorn." Wen Qian said with a smile.

Zhu Ze nodded, but before he could say anything, he saw the person in front of him seemed to change his expression.

"Welcome to Holy Thorn." Wen Qian repeated.

"Huh? What's going on? Is this sentence wrong?" She muttered with a frown.

Zhu Ze looked at Wen Qian blankly, not understanding what she was saying.

Wen Qian looked at her task panel in confusion. She had already welcomed it, so why hadn't [Task 1] succeeded yet?

Do you want to repeat it again?

Seeing that the person in front of him seemed ready to repeat herself again, Zhu Ze quickly extended his hand and interrupted her: "Okay, thank you, thank you."

【Task 1 Progress (1/15)】

Why!

Wen Qian's eyes lit up. So this is how it is played!

She held Zhu Ze's hand with her backhand and shook it vigorously a few times: "Welcome, welcome."

Zhu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was waiting for him to shake hands. Why didn’t she say so earlier?

He was just about to say something polite, but he felt a strange chill on his back. He turned sideways and saw that the people who had just looked at Wen Qian had been looking at him.

To be precise, looking at their hands.

Zhu Ze's eyelids twitched and he quickly let go of his hand. The chill on his back disappeared as he let go.

No, what's going on with these?

Zhao Fu glanced at him and shook his head slowly. People who had never seen Wen Qian would not understand her way of thinking - of course, even those who had seen her would not understand it.

He has known Wen Qian for such a long time, but now he can't guess what she is thinking.

For example, now he didn't know why Wen Qian wanted to shake hands with these people.

Wen Qian: "Hello."

"Um, hello?"

She quickly reached out and grabbed the other person, shook him hard twice, and then ran straight to the next person.

Wen Qian: "Hello."

"Hello, hello."

Repeat again.

A feeling of confusion filled the entire room. The students in the exchange group didn't know what the girl wanted to do at first, and they were a little hesitant to shake hands.

Later on, they became very skilled at reaching out. Those who didn't get a turn even made mental preparations in advance so that they could reach out in time when it was their turn.

Her movements were much more skillful, but it was still unclear what she was doing.

Hospitality?

But isn't that a bit too enthusiastic?

Wen Qian: "Hello."

Jiang Zhi: “…”

He looked at Wen Qian who was extending his hand to him in silence, his expression paused.

Is he going to do it again too?

【Task 1: Welcome the exchange group (completed)

Reward: Experience +800, Gold +300]

【Task 2: Top of the list

Please take the top spot in the next learning exchange.

Rewards: Experience +1500, Gold +500, Intelligence +3

Wen Qian, who had received all the mission rewards, retired. She looked at everyone and nodded: "My mission is completed, I'm leaving now."

Zhao Fu: "Wait a minute——"

Who told you that when a greeter comes in and shakes hands with everyone, that’s it!

This must be the leadership inspection!

Lu Yanbai: "Well, you go back first."

Zhao Fu slowly closed his mouth when he had just finished speaking. Good, now he knew who told her.

Of course, Lu Yanbai didn't say such a thing, but if Wen Qian wanted to leave first, he wouldn't stop him.

He looked up at the few people who seemed to want to leave with Wen Qian, took a step back slightly, and stopped them.

"I just got here, don't you want to chat?"
