Chapter 1844: Chapter 1780: Rejected

He was planning to cram on foreign languages over the next few days.

Moreover, he had to study the map of the city where Jun Weichi of Country Y was sent to.

This task was his primary duty; everything else could be declined.

Yang Zhiqi rubbed his nose and reported back to the higher-ups.

Of course, he put it in more tactful terms.

As a result, Chiang Xiao received the response.

“They said he has a task coming up, and he needs to cram on foreign languages over the next few days, so he can’t spare the time.”

Chiang Xiao was both amused and exasperated.

Was she just rejected by Tyrant Meng?

This message was relayed by someone from Xiao Li; she couldn’t very well ask if they didn’t tell Meng Xinian that the person to be escorted was her.

It wasn’t possible that Li Hanzhong personally relayed the message to Meng Xinian, so it was passed down in a formulaic manner, not mentioning her name was normal.

They also told her that Officer Meng was invited to escort a female comrade back home for business.

It was completely normal for Meng Xinian to refuse.

Should she give him an award?

He certainly had strong principles; he wouldn’t even escort a female comrade.

However, at this time Chiang Xiao was unaware that the task Meng Xinian had was also related to a female comrade.

“Could you tell him that if I can teach him foreign languages along the way?”

After all, she had attended university in two lives, and her grades were excellent both times. Plus, she used to work as a foreign language tutor to earn money, had been a short-term guide for foreigners, and worked as an interpreter.

No matter what, it should be more than sufficient to teach Meng Xinian, right?

However, before the other party could respond, Meng Xinian himself already called.

Chiang Xiao sighed in relief because she didn’t know the contact information for Anbu Town, and if he hadn’t called first, she wouldn’t be able to contact him temporarily.

As soon as Meng Xinian began speaking, Chiang Xiao deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be displeased and “demanding accountability.”

“Brother Xinian, now that you’ve been promoted to Great Officer, you’re quite impressive, huh?”

Meng Xinian was startled, what did this mean?

“Hmm?”

“In the past, you were very proactive with whatever I asked you to do, but now I asked you for a favor, and you actually refused me!” Chiang Xiao suppressed a laugh as she said.

She thought Meng Xinian would be clueless, but who knew he was so quick-witted, after she said this, he quickly figured out what it was about.

“Chiang Xiaoxiao, are you going back to Siyang Village?”

“Uh,” Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes, not fun, he guessed it so easily, “Yes.”

“You want me to escort you back?” Meng Xinian emphasized the word “escort.”

“Uh-huh, could I trouble you, Officer Meng?”

Meng Xinian couldn’t help but laugh.

So it’s this girl.

He laughed and said, “Sure, Kitty Chiang, now your status is different, you can arrange tasks for me through the higher-ups.”

Chiang Xiao paused, quickly said, “Brother Xinian, if you’re busy, then forget it. I can go back by myself.”

Actually, Li Hanzhong was planning to dispatch a small plane for her round trip, and she didn’t need anyone to accompany her into the mountain. However, Li Hanzhong would certainly have someone accompany her.

This was indeed her selfish desire.

To enter Bai Gu Mountain, she actually hoped the person beside her would be Meng Xinian; otherwise, if there were any unexpected incidents, how could she explain to those who followed him?

The people around Li Hanzhong were certainly very smart too.

If they could avoid taking risks, they should avoid it.

Meng Xinian asked, “You know foreign languages, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Alright, then you can teach me.”
