"Hello, hello, may I ask which one of you is Secretary Li?"
The middle-aged man stood still, took a couple of breaths to compose himself, and then asked.
Just a few minutes before, he was in his office dealing with paperwork when suddenly a call came from above, saying a leader was coming for an inspection and that he should prepare for the reception.
But how could he be prepared for such a sudden event!
However, since the leader's visit was so unexpected, it might be a test of their responsiveness.
So, while cursing under his breath, he put on his coat in a fluster and ran out to the school entrance without choosing his path carefully.
But upon arrival at the entrance and seeing just a handful of sparse figures, the middle-aged man was startled.
Every time leaders from above came to inspect, it was always with a crowd. Why had this changed?
"That would be me."
