Ye Chen is also a newly appointed apprentice in the accounting room this year.
This month, the Chief assigned him the task of opening the doors daily, hence he has to wake up an hour earlier every day.
Just as dawn was breaking, he struggled to get up and sleepily wandered to the main door of the accounting room at the backyard.
Ye Chen squinted his eyes, took out the key from his pocket, and was about to open the door when he discovered that the accounting room hall's door was already open.
Ye Chen's sleepiness immediately vanished halfway. He stepped into the hall and saw the copper lock for the door placed on the table behind it. The hall was dimly lit, but a mottled yellow light shone through from the corridor on the west side.
