Jiang He frowned.
What was with today?
Was his house supposed to be that lively?
Studying the woman, he replied, "I'm Jiang He. And you would be?"
There was a flash of surprise in the woman's eyes, but she soon recovered, and took two steps forward and offered a handshake, saying, "Greetings, Mister Jiang. I'm Wu Yueru, Head of Lingzhou City's Department of Education (DOE). I did not expect you to be so young, Mister Jiang."
Jiang He extended his hand as well.
Eh?
It was only then that he realized he was still holding the half-eaten piece of eggplant. Because his mind was preoccupied, he ended up stuffing the eggplant into Wu Yueru's fingers.
"That's an eggplant!"
As Wu Yueru looked down at the eggplant in her hand, Jiang He quickly hid it behind it, saying awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Chief Wu. I was just stepping out of my yard and hadn't even put down the eggplant I plucked."
