The head teacher stepped into the classroom precisely as the 2:00 bell rang. For some reason, watching her walk in to the chime made Gantang think of those short videos from her past life featuring young teachers sprinting into classrooms after running late, captioned with: "After all these years, the ones who are still late are always the exact same group of people."
Realizing her thoughts were wandering, Gantang quickly reined them in and looked toward the teacher at the podium, who had just written her name on the blackboard: Qi Wenjun—a very poetic name.
The head teacher was a Chinese teacher in her forties. Not only was her name poetic, but her appearance was refined as well, giving off the impression of someone whose mind was steeped in classical literature and poetry. During her self-introduction, she mentioned that she had been teaching for over twenty years, had led numerous graduating senior classes, and possessed a wealth of teaching experience.
