Chapter 652: Chapter 201: The Taste of Ho_2
The ones who don’t usually talk would certainly not do sothing so boring. There was only Zhang Tiejun left.
“Don’t look at , I really didn’t give any heads up to Star City.” Zhang Tiejun shrugged helplessly and said.
“Then who tipped them off? And it’s so accurate! There are two exits at the high-speed train station, how did they know to wait for us at this one?”
Qiao Yu asked indignantly.
“When you’re unsure from which exit you’ll co out, you just divide the welcoming party into two groups, and have them wait at each exit.
Once you are spotted, the group from the other exit can rush over. How about my plan?”
Zheng Xiweng casually analyzed on the side.
Qiao Yu gave Zheng Xiweng a suspicious glance, then promptly turned around, deciding to change direction before the welcoming crowd spotted him…
Five minutes later, Qiao Yu realized that his experience in this was sorely lacking! He was no match for an old hand like Zheng Xiweng.
As expected, there was a banner at this side too, with people waiting around it.
In other words, Star City had definitely received confird news that he was back, just not his exact itinerary…
“So why is this happening, Uncle Zheng?” Qiao Yu asked humbly, looking at Zheng Xiweng.
“Maybe because ticket purchases are under real nas.” Zheng Xiweng shrugged, giving his assessnt once more.
“Who’s so bored to keep an eye on my ticket purchases?” Qiao Yu was instantly flustered.
“Hmm, when you booked your ticket on short notice, you used so channels.” Zheng Xiweng stated truthfully.
He couldn’t help but add: “I’ve told you, if you really want to co back, you should wait a while. At this point, everything you do is under scrutiny. Complete freedom is impossible.”
Qiao Yu didn’t answer.
Didn’t he already know all that?
But how often would he have the chance when his ntor, elder master, and mom are all out of Huaxia? This kind of opportunity doesn’t co often.
Qiao Yu didn’t want to engage in any sneaky antics either.
He was already known to have returned, so even if he wanted to hide, it would be impossible. Attempting to sneak out of the station would only make things difficult for the good guys and Old Zhang. More importantly, Qiao Yu suspected that station surveillance might already be under soone’s watch…
So Qiao Yu decided not to struggle any longer, removed his mask, put on a bright smile, and walked towards those welcoming him.
There’s a saying, right?
If you can’t resist life, you might as well change your mindset and enjoy it; you might even encounter so unexpected surprises.
And that was indeed the case.
Although the welco at the high-speed train station made Qiao Yu feel his hocoming trip had a different taste, the reward was tangible indeed.
An exceptional young scientist award from the Xingnan Province Science and Technology Departnt, along with a joint reward of three million yuan from both the Provincial Science and Technology Departnt and the Provincial Education Departnt, was sincerely generous.
Qiao Yu felt a bit embarrassed not to do so work for Xingnan Province after specially coming back.
In the evening, he naturally had dinner with the leaders who ca to greet him. Originally, they wanted to persuade Qiao Yu to have a drink, but before Qiao Yu could refuse, Zheng Xiweng blocked it with the excuse of alcohol allergy.
He didn’t even use the underage excuse.
And sure enough, no one ntioned it again.
To be honest, this surprised Qiao Yu; he didn’t expect Old Zheng to be quite competent.
Initially, considering he gained another three million in assets, he intended to have a drink anyway.
He rely found alcohol unpleasant to taste, not that he actually had an allergy.
However, since Qiao Yu didn’t intend to spoil the mood, the welco feast ended with everyone happy.
Unsurprisingly, Qiao Yu also accepted so tasks.
He agreed to the Changjun Education Group chairman’s request to visit the Changjun Middle School main campus and deliver a speech. Of course, Xia Keke’s involvent in this cannot be dismissed.
Moreover, Qiao Yu knew very well that having agreed to visit Changjun Middle School, not stopping by Xingtie First Middle School would be unreasonable.
This ant that at least two days of his free ti this week had to be allocated for this matter.
The good news was that he didn’t need to write two separate speeches. Preparing one would suffice to deal with both occasions.
The dinner ended at 8:10 pm, then a special car was arranged to take Qiao Yu and his group back to the railway family residential complex.
Looking at the shabby old gates of the complex and the familiar, lively atmosphere inside, Qiao Yu felt quite nostalgic.
He hadn’t returned for a long ti, but everything here seed unchanged. It felt like the sa scene after evening self-study at the end of eighth grade.
“The roads are a bit narrow and the buildings are packed, so stay close to , I won’t be responsible if you get lost!” Qiao Yu said flamboyantly, then led the way into the complex.
Zheng Xiweng and Zhang Mingyu exchanged a helpless glance and followed Qiao Yu.
This field trip made them feel more like babysitters.
“Huh? Why is there a light on at our house? Could it be a burglar? Well, how about you guys go in first.” Reaching downstairs, Qiao Yu looked up and jokingly said to the two behind him.
“Alright, let Xiao Zhang go up first, and have him deal with whoever is inside. Rest assured, Xiao Zhang’s skills are excellent; he’s been the internal martial arts competition champion for three consecutive years.” Zheng Xiweng said seriously.
His serious deanor startled Qiao Yu: “Stop kidding, I have the key upstairs; maybe soone knew I was coming back and helped tidy up the place.”
