Xia Yue took five minutes to reach the Planting Department's teaching building, parked her car, entered the building, and found her classroom. When she got outside, she saw that there were already quite a few students seated inside, and an elderly man with graying hair was standing on the platform, looking quite stern.
Xia Yue felt as if she was seeing her serious high school Chinese teacher, swallowed nervously, took a deep breath, and approached the classroom door with a smile, knocking on it.
Upon hearing the knock, the elderly man who was speaking at the platform stopped and looked toward the door, as did the students in the classroom.
"Hello, teacher. I am a special recruitment student; I just chose the Planting Department and am here to report," Xia Yue said, introducing herself with forced bravado.
