Tang Xiaobai intentionally skipped her compulsory class, wanting to express concern for Mr. Zhang, who was being morally coerced, but ended up being forced to attend an advanced class before she could speak to one of the involved parties.
Mr. Zhang appeared calm and collected, emotions stable: "Gongsun wants to participate in next year's spring examinations and hopes I'll write a recommendation letter for him to enter the autumn selection in Lantian County."
Tang Xiaobai laughed aloud: "He came to the academy in August, wants to return for the county selection in September, and then attend the spring examinations in February next year. So, he came all this way just for your recommendation letter?"
Next February marks the triennial provincial examination held by the Ministry of Personnel, also known as the spring examinations.
