First impressions are pretty important to anyone, and although they may change with time, isn't life easier if you start by leaving a good impression?
Yan Fei had been working hard all day to make a good first impression on his classmates. He picked up his car at noon and drove home, but in the afternoon, he and Xu Xiaoyan still rode bicycles to school.
He made sure to set his phone to silent mode, just to prevent it from ringing loudly during a class.
If this were an era where already a small portion of students drove to school, his nicer car wouldn't stand out so much – it would just attract some more 'practical' people, and other students wouldn't give him any special looks.
But now it's different; times have changed, and people think differently.
