Around 5:40 the next evening, Lin Jie arrived at Chunlai Restaurant near the east gate of Binhai University, the venue for Professor Chen Shi's student gathering.
The lowest temperature today dropped to minus three degrees, which is quite low for the coastal Binhai.
Being somewhat afraid of the cold, Lin Jie dutifully followed Lin Miao's advice, dressing warmly with an especially cozy down jacket on top.
In a large private room, Lin Jie met the senior classmates who had already arrived.
There were eleven master's students, six PhD students, and including Yan Beichen, three combined bachelor-master-doctorate students, fourteen males, and six females, totaling twenty people.
Seeing the room full of people, Lin Jie couldn't help but marvel, a tutor with so many students, it's really a wonder if they can be taught to excel.
