Because his first day of school had been so eventful, Chen Chuan prepared to turn in early.
According to the class schedule, public lectures would begin the next day. Since he hadn't settled on an advisor yet, he figured he might as well go check them out. He took a quick shower and went to bed.
At six the next morning, just as he finished washing up and was about to head out to exercise, there was a sudden knock on the door.
'Who could it be this early?'
He walked over and opened the door to find a middle-aged man of average build standing outside, dressed in a white shirt and a diagonally striped tie. His jacket was draped over his forearm, and a briefcase was tucked under his arm. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. Although his face was a little round now, you could tell he had been a handsome young man.
