"Hello everyone, I am the teacher in charge of your student affairs. You can call me Zhou Xueguan."

The thirty-five children, separated by gender, stood in two rows and obediently bowed, greeting, "Greetings, Academician Zhou."

Zhou Xueguan smiled at everyone, looking at their round and adorable little faces, and silently sighed in his heart:

"She was so cute when she first came. She'll get naughty once she gets a little older."

Thinking of the students at Lan Academy, Zhou Xueguan felt a headache coming on.

The little ones were meeting for the first time and were curiously looking at their friends on the left and right sides.

At this moment, Master Wu also came over with several teachers.

After what happened at the gate, the little ones all got to know Wu Fuzi.

So before Wu Fuzi could even introduce himself, the little ones said in unison:

"Hello, Master Wu."

Wu Fuzi immediately smiled, his eyes crinkling.

After Wu Fuzi and the others finished introducing themselves, he held up a small wooden plaque carved with plum blossoms and said to the children:

"Dear new students, this is your name tag. Your names are engraved on it. Please make sure to wear your name tags with you at school."

"Little kids who don't wear name tags will get their hands slapped and be forced to copy books!"

After finishing his explanation, Wu Fuzi demonstrated to the little guy how to attach the name tag to his clothes.

Pairs of innocent, childlike eyes watched intently.

After the demonstration, Wu Fuzi took the name tags and personally put them on each of the little ones.

The little dumpling stood at the very edge, shuffling her feet as she waited for Wu Fuzi to walk up to her.

Wearing designer brands is what the little dumpling looks forward to the most.

She felt that this was a symbol of her being granted a new identity.

From now on, she will be a student at the school!

Wu Fuzi picked up the last girl's name tag.

"Mu Jin Group".

Upon hearing his name, the little dumpling immediately raised his hand and shouted energetically, "Here!"

Everyone was startled by her shout and turned to look at her.

Zhou Xueguan covered his mouth and chuckled. This little girl has quite a loud voice.

Master Wu squatted down and put the name tag on the little boy's head. He patted the little boy's head and whispered something:

"So you're from the Mu Jin Group!"

That roar just now really had the heroic and dashing style of her father when he was in the army!

Zhuang Yueyue, the tallest of the girls, glanced at Xiao Tuanzi and nudged Chi Yuning next to her with her elbow, saying, "Look, that's Mu Jintuan, the girl who said she paid to get in."

After listening, Chi Yuning scoffed dismissively.

"It's disgusting that someone like that can go to school with us."

Zhuang Yueyue quickly made a shushing gesture.

"Keep your voice down, my parents said she has a powerful background! Don't let her hear you."

"So what? I hate people who get in through connections the most." Chi Yuning said, but her voice was still much lower.

She glanced at the little girl discreetly, and only when she saw that she hadn't heard anything did she feel relieved.

Zhuang Yueyue took Chi Yuning's arm and whispered in her ear, "Yes, I don't like her either!"

After all the little ones had put on their name tags, Wu Fuzi left.

Zhou Xueguan then led them to the Plum Garden.

The main hall of Plum Academy is a building with drafts on all sides. Thin gauze embroidered with plum blossom patterns hangs under the eaves, swaying gently in the breeze.

"This will be your main classroom from now on. Desks have already been set up inside. Go and choose your favorite seats."

As soon as Zhou Xueguan finished speaking, the little ones couldn't wait to run over and choose their favorite seats.

The desks were arranged neatly in five columns and seven rows.

The fast-running little guy has already chosen a front-row seat, since that's where he's closest to his master.

The little dumpling chose a seat in the third row, by the window. Turning her head to the left, she could see a row of bamboo outside.

Mu Yanxiu sat down to her right.

Xiao Tuanzi and Mu Yanxiu exchanged a smile, both quite satisfied with their positions.

While scrambling for seats, the little girl's hat tilted a bit as she ran. She was adjusting her hat with her little hand when she heard arguing coming from ahead.

"I chose this seat first! Why did you sit down here!"

The little dumpling looked at the girl who was speaking and saw that her name tag read "Zhuang Yueyue".

Zhuang Yueyue, hands on her hips, angrily yelled at a girl who had already sat down in the middle of the first row.

The girl sitting in her seat lowered her head and said timidly, "I...I sat down first."

The little girl was puzzled. Since the other girl sat down first, why didn't Zhuang Yueyue choose another seat? Why did she yell at her instead?

Zhuang Yueyue glanced at her disdainfully, then reached out and grabbed the girl's name tag.

"Meng Fei? Whose daughter are you?"

Meng Fei's school uniform was all wrinkled by Zhuang Yueyue. She reached out to try to remove Zhuang Yueyue's hand, but Zhuang Yueyue held on tightly and showed no intention of letting go.

Meng Fei shook her head and said, "I... my father is not an official, he is just a carpenter."

Zhuang Yueyue burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Good heavens, you're just a kid from a lowly family, how dare you try to take my seat! Do you even know who my father is?"
