October 8th.
The one-week National Day holiday had drawn to a close, with office workers begrudgingly returning to their jobs to make ends meet, and students streaming back to campuses for classes.
East Sea University had no courses scheduled for the morning.
Because… as arranged by the former principal, Principal Qin An, at nine in the morning, Chen Fan and the head of the Rothschild family, Mr. Luzern, were to give a lecture at the grand auditorium of East Sea University.
According to East Sea University's arrangements, the lecture was to officially commence at nine o'clock with all faculty members, regardless of rank, in attendance to listen, and every student from the Department of Economics and Management was required to be there. As for... students from other departments, they were to watch and listen to the lecture via video in their own classrooms.
Eight thirty in the morning.
