The barracks-style building is a long corridor with many separate rooms left from the seventies or eighties. They look old and are mostly occupied by school staff. Xiao Qian knocked on the door, but no one responded. She decided to knock on the door of the neighboring room and then jump to the teacher's apartment from the connecting balcony.
She was sure there was someone home, they just didn't hear her knock.
Xiao Qian knocked twice more, but still no one answered. The music was deafening.
Suddenly, a hand landed on Xiao Qian's shoulder from behind. She turned to see Professor Liu standing there.
"Are you looking for Director Wang?" Professor Liu asked, as Director Wang lives next door.
"No, I am looking for you," Xiao Qian answered loudly. It had to be loud, the music was just too loud.
