Chapter 88: The Clown Is Beside Us
At two o'clock in the afternoon, right on schedule, the loudspeaker at No. 8 Middle School started playing the "March of the Athletes." Yes, that's the one they played every morning before calisthenics.
As the music played, the students of both the junior and senior high sections lined up, grade by grade, class by class, marching out from their classrooms to the sports field, where they arranged themselves into the same formations as for their daily morning exercises.
On the stage, a standing microphone stand was set up. The old principal of the school, Assistant Principal Fang, Old Sun, and other school leaders were present. A few seats were arranged beside them. Also present were General Manager Zhao from the education group and several corporate leaders... Worker Liu was also there, though sitting on a chair at the very edge.
