Before the official start of the summer break, No. 60 High's Headmaster Chen Tianxiang held a pre-vacation teacher's meeting. During the meeting, he had a very grave expression on his face. "Teachers of No. 60 High… I have bad news."
The teachers' hearts trembled – they had never heard Headmaster Chen speak so seriously before, and they discussed among themselves in whispers below the dais for a while. Exactly what major thing had happened to make the usually steady Headmaster Chen show such despondence on his face?
"All of you should be well aware that after sixty years of hard work, this is the year that our No. 60 High has the best hope of being selected and promoted to a key city high school."
