"I've just arrived, Teacher," Xie Wanying found it hard to say that she had been so engrossed in watching Teacher Lu instruct students.
"I know, you're always so modest. Everyone else hasn't arrived, only you did. You're afraid to stand out if you say so, aren't you?" Teacher Lu chuckled, pointed at her, then picked up her phone, and began to criticize her group of lazy seniors, "Those guys are unbelievable, claiming to be your teacher and your senior. What day is today? A big day, a day to set an example in front of colleagues nationwide, and yet they all lie in bed oversleeping. Had I known, I would have set an alarm for them."
Xie Wanying originally wanted to say something in defense of her seniors, asserting that it was impossible for everyone to be late today. But then she thought about how early Teacher Lu had come, and feared that Teacher Lu would be even angrier if she spoke.
This is not about being late or not, it's about how seriously they take things.
