"Dim-witted..." Xiang Shan sighed deeply, "Why do I have to be perceived this way? And for such a reason too."
Jing Hongtu, sitting across from Xiang Shan, was laughing quite happily, "From a general point of view, Liu wasn't entirely wrong about you."
"No, it wasn't even within my scope of work to begin with." Xiang Shan mixed the sauce with the potato dish using his fork, "Yet Teacher Liu said I need to create a presence in such settings. During routine reports, no matter if the discussion topics are related to my field or not, I have to make my presence known..."
Xiang Shan referred to the time he, Yawgmoth, Ingrid, and David had a chaotic discussion on topics like alien language and society. After that, Ingrid and David both included related content in their periodic reports and elaborated on it a bit. Additionally, they both mentioned the names of Xiang Shan and Yawgmoth.
