Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Unnaturally Quiet

On the first floor of the foreign trade guesthouse, Jiang Cheng was squeezed into a corner, hugging her shoulders, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

When Director Leng came in from outside, scanning the room with his eyes, he almost missed Jiang Cheng in the corner.

For a moment, he wanted to laugh, seeing Jiang Cheng without a trace of presence for the first time.

Well... it’s quite amusing.

He wouldn’t admit that he wanted to see some excitement.

"Everyone, this is Director Leng from foreign trade."

Mr. Zhao immediately noticed Director Leng personally coming over, although he didn’t know why, as a conscientious subordinate, he quickly approached Director Leng.

After Mr. Zhao’s introduction, the group of white-haired teachers fell silent in an instant; some bowed their heads, some rubbed their hands, some looked around.

In short, no one made eye contact with Director Leng, let alone spoke up.

The spacious guesthouse was filled with over dozens of people—a complete standstill.

In these quiet seconds, Director Leng began to miss Jiang Cheng in the corner.

Why didn’t she speak today?

The thought flashed by, and Director Leng spoke:

"Hello everyone, I am Leng Cheng, responsible for this special training. Now, let’s move to the foreign trade building, where the classrooms are arranged."

"We will also have our breakfast, lunch, and dinner there in unity."

Director Leng paused for two seconds, again met with complete silence.

He couldn’t help but look back, resulting in seeing a hand, struggling to raise.

An old gentlemen, very tall, was entirely blocking Jiang Cheng so raising this hand was challenging.

Director Leng wanted to laugh again.

"Xiao Zhao, please count the number of people. Once everyone is here, we’ll get on the bus and head out. Let the teachers have breakfast first."

"Yes!"

Mr. Zhao started to count the people and sign in for attendance.

In total, there were twenty-one teachers, including Jiang Cheng.

The oldest was seventy-three years old, and the youngest was Jiang Cheng, with many in their forties and fifties, yet looking quite old.

After signing in one by one, the teachers lined up and exited the guesthouse to get on the bus.

Jiang Cheng was the last one.

Director Leng finally saw Jiang Cheng’s face at the door.

Seeing the unabashed amusement in Director Leng’s eyes, Jiang Cheng graciously gave a smile, "Director Leng, how do you find my mime performance?"

Director Leng was defeated by Jiang Cheng’s unconventional thought process.

"Very impressive."

"I thought so too."

Director Leng, facing the familiar temperament of Jiang Cheng, smiled with helplessness and joy.

"Alright, let’s give you a little reminder, you were specially selected as a teacher, so take care a bit... teacher ethics."

"Don’t get too carried away, be steady."

Director Leng reminded, Jiang Cheng responded with, "hm hm hm," whether she would heed it later was uncertain.

Jiang Cheng also prepared to get on the bus.

As she turned around, she caught several people leaning against the window watching her. Upon her turning around, they swiftly turned back, pretending innocence.

Jiang Cheng felt like a monkey in a zoo, a... newly arrived monkey.

New monkey Jiang Cheng got on the bus and found that others were sitting in pairs, but she was alone.

The lone Jiang Cheng headed to the last row, comfortably settling in the middle seat of the bus, her gaze capable of scanning the entire room.

Director Leng and Mr. Zhao also got on the bus, the two sitting in the front while the whole bus compartment stayed terrifyingly quiet.

Sitting in the front, Director Leng’s mind filled with murmurs: Why is Jiang Cheng so quiet?

This really didn’t fit her character.

Quietly, they arrived at the foreign trade building, everyone got off and followed behind Director Leng inside.

Jiang Cheng remained at the back the whole time, diligently bringing up the rear.

The group first went to the cafeteria to eat, each with their own lunch box.

As the last one to get food, Jiang Cheng could chat with people at each window, making the lunch ladies smile cheerfully.

The fact was, before coming here, all of these people had undergone a complete background check. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
