True enough, the girl said, "I'm Xia Ling."
Principal Sha looked even kinder now. "So you're Xia Ling. A few of the examiners have told me about your outstanding performance in the final round. It's really our honor to be having you here in our camp."
Deep inside, however, he was sweating buckets.
This girl really was Xia Ling! She really did act like someone from a known background—completely unafraid to offend anyone, full of confidence, and already stirring trouble within half a day!
The previous day, he had received a call from Secretary Zhou, saying that Xia Ling would look for him at his office today. He rescheduled all other matters at hand and waited in the office for her. Initially, he had planned to personally fetch her at the gate, but Secretary Zhou said that this little girl did not like attention. Hence, Principal Sha simply waited in his office for her.
