258 Reward for Monthly Examination
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei suspiciously. “So what if we are tied? I didn’t think of this at the time.”
Guan Lei said cheekily, “That’s your own opinion. Just tell me if you’ll fulfill it or not?”
...Shen Xi held her forehead in embarrassment. She had made a mistake in this situation. She had not thought it through thoroughly at the time.
“Then I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee it!” Shen Xi still explained to Guan Lei in advance. After all, it was too subjective to like something like that.
Guan Lei was so happy that he could not even see his eyes. He was jumping around like a child.
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei speechlessly and could not help but laugh. “Be quiet and don’t jump around. Also, don’t buy any more confessing items. That necklace today must be quite expensive, right? Next time, don’t waste money like this.”
Guan Lei chuckled, thinking that this was a problem. Dating definitely required money, but where would he get the money from? He really needed to think.
Guan Lei touched his chin and pondered for a while before saying, “It’s not expensive. Besides, I heard that there’s a scholarship for this monthly examination. It’s very generous.”
Shen Xi laughed so hard that she was breathless. “Guan Lei, stop joking. Although Zhuo Ying High School offers a lot of scholarships, I’ve never heard of a scholarship for the monthly test.”
In order to make it seem real, Guan Lei immediately stood up straight. “I’m not joking, it’s true! If you don’t believe me, you can ask the form teacher the day after tomorrow.”
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei doubtfully. When she heard from the form teacher that there was a scholarship, she was dumbfounded.
“My goodness, the first place is rewarded with 600 thousand? ” Zhao Yuan was so surprised that her mouth was wide open.
600 thousand was not a lot. There were scholarships for the final exams or the city-wide joint exams in previous years, but they were usually only around 100 thousand. Only during the college entrance examination would the top scorer receive a reward of more than 500 thousand.
All the students in the class were talking about it.
“Yeah, what’s going on? It’s only a monthly test, why are there so many rewards all of a sudden?”
“I’ve heard that three companies suddenly increased the rewards, and that’s an accumulation.”
Sun Ling stood on the podium. She was so happy that the wrinkles on her face could not be hidden. In this monthly exam, the top two were from her class. This time, she was very happy.
Sun Ling explained, “It’s like this. Several companies paid special attention to this monthly exam, so they proposed to give a reward to the student who got first place. Each of the companies awarded 200 thousand each, so the total is 600 thousand.”
Sun Ling held the report card in her hand and continued, “Shen Xi and Guan Lei from our class are tied in the first place, so they’ll split the 600 thousand equally. Let’s give them a round of applause.”
A round of applause rang out in the class.
Guan Lei did not expect that someone else would pay for it.
Guan Lei had wanted to reward them more, but he thought it was weird to get 500 thousand for a monthly examination. In the end, he thought 200 thousand would be the best. He did not expect the other two companies to give the same amount.
Liu Cheng looked at Shen Xi with disdain. “It’s only 600 thousand. What’s there to be happy about? She’s not like our Xue, who already has assets worth tens of billions.”
Liu Cheng’s words immediately received the support of the students next to her. Jiang Xue was smug under the flattery.
Originally, Jiang Xue wanted to find time to move into the Xiang Family. Since she was already engaged, it was good to get used to the Xiang Family’s life earlier.
However, Xiang Cheng said that he was afraid that her parents would miss her, so Jiang Xue continued to stay with the Jiang family. Otherwise, if her classmates knew that she was living in the Xiang Family’s Manor-like villa, they would be so envious of her.
“Poor people are so short-sighted. Aren’t they embarrassed to just stare at that little amount of money?” Liu Cheng said sarcastically.
“No matter how little money the money is, we earned it with our own abilities. Unlike some people who can only rely on men.” Shen Xi retorted.
If Liu Cheng had only been criticizing her, Shen Xi would have been fine with it. However, she could not tolerate the fact that Liu Cheng had scolded Guan Lei as well.
Guan Lei’s family was not very well-off, and children from that kind of family had strong self-esteem, so Shen Xi felt that she had to protect Guan Lei well.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuan sneakily pulled Shen Xi to look at her phone.
Shen Xi curiously went over to take a look, only to see the news of the Jiang Corporation’s bankruptcy. Shen Xi was completely dumbfounded. There had never been such a thing in her previous life.
All of a sudden, Shen Xi understood why Jiang Xue was in such a hurry to get engaged to Xiang Cheng. It seemed like the Jiang Corporation was in trouble.
On the other side, Jiang Xue was still gloating. Liu Cheng was praising Jiang Xue even more.
