For a moment, a cacophony of voices rose up, all of them demanding to add Jiang Cheng's WeChat.
They completely ignored Wang Jian, who was standing to the side excitedly rubbing his hands together and preparing to get to work, making him look like a redundant background prop.
Wang Jian's enthusiasm was doused like a bucket of cold water, and the smile on his face froze.
"Hey, classmates, I'm also from the External Liaison Department. Adding me is the same thing."
Of course, Wang Jian wasn't actually jealous of Jiang Cheng.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Cheng, even a little beauty like Shen Mengjia couldn't catch his eye.
He would care even less for these more ordinary ones.
"No way, we want to add Minister Jiang Cheng!" a bolder Girl shouted, drawing a chorus of agreement from those around her.
"Yeah, we're adding the Minister. What could there possibly be to see on your WeChat?"
"Minister Jiang, do you often post selfies on your moments?"
"Minister Jiang, let us add you. I promise not to bother you; I just want to see you, and I'll even give you likes every day."
These Girls cast aside their usual reserve and swarmed around Jiang Cheng, each holding their phone as if they wanted to shove the screens right into his face.
Their fiery, passionate gazes left Wang Jian watching from the side, dumbfounded.
Only one thought crossed his mind: Are these the same reserved Girls I know?
Normally, if Wang Jian parked his porsche 911 by the side of the school road, he could still add some Girls' wechat.
But now that Jiang Cheng was here, his words were like a stone sinking into the ocean; not a single Girl paid him any attention.
Surrounded in the center, Jiang Cheng had a trace of a helpless, bitter smile on his face.
When Girls take the initiative, they really are... quite "flirtatious."
Although Jiang Cheng also liked flirtatious women.
But he was a good man and would only flirt with Girls he liked.
As for which ones he liked, those were naturally Girls with a charm score over 85.
Seeing Jiang Cheng look his way, Wang Jian took the hint and cleared his throat.
"Listen up, juniors. Our Minister is 'busy with ten thousand chickens' every day, and his WeChat friends list is almost full. He really can't add more, right..."
Seeing Wang Jian emphasize the word "chicken," Jiang Cheng directly retorted, "You're still as shameless as ever."
However, even with Wang Jian saying that, the Girls weren't buying it.
It was like a guy suddenly seeing his goddess peddling goods on the street.
Similarly, when a male god they usually couldn't reach was suddenly handing out flyers on the street, they naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip away.
"No!"
"We want to add Senior!"
"Is Senior in the group? If he's not, we're not joining!"
The Girls' attitude was very firm; their target had been clear from the start—Jiang Cheng.
The scene became somewhat chaotic for a moment.
Jiang Cheng knew this couldn't go on.
Once a Girl's passion is ignited...
...it isn't so easily extinguished.
You either have to coax them with words or douse them cold.
Jiang Cheng cleared his throat.
"Alright, everyone quiet down."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an inherent power that commanded belief.
The noisy Girls fell silent instantly, all eyes focused on him.
Jiang Cheng looked around, a perfect smile playing on his lips. "First, thank you all for supporting the External Liaison Department's activities. Secondly, regarding WeChat, it is indeed as Vice Minister Wang said; I'm usually quite busy and my WeChat is nearly full. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reply to everyone promptly, which might delay your matters."
He paused, seeing the obvious disappointment on the Girls' faces, and continued, "However, to thank you for your enthusiasm, we can create a group. How about I be the group owner?"
Hearing this, the light of hope reignited in the Girls' eyes.
Adding someone privately can sometimes make one feel shy about sending messages.
But posting in a group is different.
This was much more practical than adding the wechat of a "cold male god" who might never reply.
"Wow! Really?"
"Too good! I want in!"
"Senior, hurry up and make the group! I'll be the first to join!"
The Girls' emotions were stirred up again, this time with excitement and anticipation.
Jiang Cheng shot a look at Wang Jian.
Only then did Wang Jian react, hurriedly creating a group and then pulling Jiang Cheng into it.
"Come on, everyone scan this group QR code. Once you're in, remember to change your group alias to the format: 'Grade-Major-Name'."
Wang Jian shouted while maintaining order.
Seeing the Girls were all drawn to the wechat group...
Jiang Cheng turned to look at Ye Wan.
He found her looking at him with a complex gaze—surprise, admiration, and a trace of... adoration?
Jiang Cheng smiled at her and said softly, "Alright, problem solved. I'm going back now. Keep it up..."
Hearing this, Ye Wan nodded.
The next second, she felt like this wasn't quite right and spoke in a low voice, "Thank you."
As soon as she said that, the system gave a "ding" notification.
"Ding! 'The Ugly Duckling's Transformation' quest updated."
"Due to the Host's interaction with Ye Wan triggering the update condition for 'The Ugly Duckling's Transformation' quest, the system has calculated the reward via a complex formula."
"Ding! Rewarding Ye Wan with +2 charm points and +3 physique points!"
"Ding! Rewarding the Host's body with +1 charm point and +1 height point!"
Seeing this? Jiang Cheng was actually somewhat surprised.
As for charm points, when the system issued the Xia Zhiqiu quest, it had rewarded Jiang Cheng with one charm point.
So his charm had increased from 85 to 86 at that time.
Now another point was rewarded, so his charm was at 87??
But what did +2 height mean?
Did it think my 182cm height wasn't enough?

P.S. While making recent edits, I found that some previous charm point reward plots were deleted, causing the earlier data not to match up. To ensure the story flows smoothly, I have adjusted the growth of Jiang Cheng's charm data.
