Chapter 124 The Exchange Meeting That Gave Liang He a Headache

When Thoreau woke up in his room, he had a splitting headache and couldn't remember how he got home the night before.

His memory was still stuck at the point when Holder urged him to drink; after that, he couldn't remember anything at all.

"I didn't say anything inappropriate last night, did I?"

Thoreau never imagined that the wine on Earth was so potent; he still hasn't recovered.

"Luckily, tomorrow is the main event, otherwise we would have been delayed by this wine."

He had originally thought that this rare opportunity to get closer to Hordra would make his future actions easier, but he never expected this...

Thoreau lay half-reclined on the bed with difficulty, picked up the personal computer placed on the bedside table, and breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that there were no signs of intrusion.

"Never mind, although I didn't find out any useful information, at least I've gotten closer to Holder. When the time comes, I can use him to get closer to Liang He without arousing suspicion."

Unaware that he had been exposed long ago, Thoreau was still naively comforting himself, planning to take Liang He away in the chaos tomorrow.

With the impending storm on Green Star in mind, Liang He was focused on tomorrow's lecture. It was her first time being a lecturer, and to be honest, she was unusually nervous.

Just as get out of class ended and I was about to sneak back to my room to think about the content of tomorrow's sharing session, I was caught red-handed by Assistant An, who was waiting at the door.

"Ms. Lianghe, the president has already had the news about tomorrow's sharing and exchange meeting announced. He asked me to come and ask you if there's anything I can help you with?"

As Lucas's most trusted confidant, Assistant An's appearance by Liang He's side at this moment, offering to help, clearly demonstrates how highly Lucas regards Liang He.

Passing students who overheard the conversation couldn't help but cast curious and envious glances at Liang He.

"I really envy Liang He. She's so young, yet she's already being valued by President Lucas. She's sure to have a bright future."

"I feel that Liang He is not as arrogant as some people say. On the contrary, she is very humble. If she doesn't understand something, she won't pretend to know it and is willing to ask questions."

"I heard that President Lucas originally wanted Liang He to be a lecturer, but Liang He refused, saying that she was not qualified, so it was changed to an exchange meeting."

The participants had, of course, heard about the sharing and exchange session.

As expected, the students who had heard the news and thought that Liang He would be the lecturer were more or less resistant.

However, after changing the name to sharing and exchanging ideas, everyone felt that there was no difference between teachers and students, and they were actually very willing to learn some excellent and advanced concepts and methods from Liang He.

"Ms. Lianghe said that there was nothing she could help with, so I came back to report to you first."

Liang He declined Assistant An's help. Before leaving, Assistant An overheard the students discussing tomorrow's sharing session.

"However, someone deliberately spread rumors that you had Liang He teach as a lecturer, which caused dissatisfaction among some people."

The decision to appoint Liang He as a lecturer has drawn discontent not only from the students but also from the scholars and professors who are placed in the same position.

They are qualified to become lecturers only because of their years of experience.

Liang He, a newcomer who just obtained his interstellar zookeeper certificate, easily became their equal. What does that mean for all their years of hard work?
"You mean, someone is targeting Liang He?"

President Lucas quickly grasped the underlying meaning in Assistant An's words.

Only the person in the monitoring room at the time knew about Liang He's teaching. He contacted Liang He privately afterward and never revealed it to others.

"Yes, the other party originally intended to incite public dissatisfaction and use public opinion pressure to make you give up choosing Liang He. They did not expect that you and Ms. Liang He would change the lecture into a sharing and exchange."

Speaking of this, Assistant An has to praise Liang He's foresight.

If she hadn't insisted, she might have really suffered an undeserved disaster.

"Hmph, they're all a bunch of clowns who can't even be considered respectable."

President Lucas despises these underhanded tactics the most. If you're not convinced by Liang He, you can compete fairly. If you have real skills, why be afraid of losing?

Unfortunately, those who harbor wicked intentions are often less capable than others, and can only resort to despicable means to bring down their opponents so they can climb back up themselves.

"Tomorrow, you and your men will keep a close watch on the venue. If you notice anything amiss, stop it immediately and make sure to protect Liang He."

Those who spread rumors are right about only one thing: Chairman Lucas does indeed value Liang He very much.

Even if Liang He doesn't become his successor in the end, her special knowledge of evolved beastmen alone is enough for President Lucas to give her special protection.

"understand!"

Liang He, who was silently listed as a key protected person by countless people, was racking her brains to think about the content of tomorrow's exchange.

"Cyril, why don't you go on stage and perform the hoop jumping tomorrow?"

Liang He, who was having a headache from thinking, buried herself in the platinum lion's arms and rubbed its soft belly, feeling much less tense and stressed.

"I'm just an ordinary zookeeper, why are you making things difficult for me...?"

Liang He felt wronged and confused.

She learned all her zookeeper knowledge on Earth. There are so many zookeepers on Earth who are better than her, why didn't she hire them?
In truth, Liang He knew that what Chairman Lucas truly valued was her innate affinity for animals, but this was something that couldn't be shared.

"Woo-hoo?"

The platinum lion couldn't understand why Liang He was so distressed, so it could only affectionately place its paws on her body and try to lick her hair.

"stop!"

Realizing her hairline was receding, Liang He scrambled up from the platinum lion's arms.

“Cyril, you must not follow Cedriel’s example.”

"Woo-hoo?"

The platinum lion tilted its head in confusion, its emerald-like eyes sparkling with innocence, its half-extended tongue lingering awkwardly in the air.

The man and the lion stared at each other in bewilderment. In the end, the platinum lion could only pretend to casually raise its paw, lick it, and wash its face.

"Pfft."

Liang He, charmed by the lion's head, couldn't help but laugh out loud. After stroking the lion's head and regaining her composure, she started thinking about tomorrow's exchange content and also used her personal computer to create presentation materials.

She only stopped working when Holder appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Liang He, you will be attending the meeting this afternoon as the station chief. Don't forget."

"what?"

If Holder hadn't reminded her, Liang He would have almost forgotten about it.

After all, aside from remembering the training session dates, all she could think about now was the content of tomorrow's exchange meeting.

"No, please. You need to wear formal attire and light makeup today. I've already asked the hotel's makeup artist to wait for you."

Liang He was representing the Tianyaoxing Nature Reserve at the afternoon meeting, so she couldn't be too casual.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes right away."

When it comes to serious matters, Liang He never shirks her responsibilities. She immediately put on the formal attire that Holder had prepared for her, then asked the makeup artist to do her light makeup and tie her hair up.

When she came out of the dressing room, Thoreau, who happened to be looking for Holder to find out the news, inevitably noticed her and was amazed.
