Chapter 66 -66 Toilet Incident 1
The final exams were only three days away, and the atmosphere at school was immensely tense. The Education Bureau, aiming to encourage both students and teachers, initiated a reward activity.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
There were three classes in ninth grade, with a total of over a hundred students. The teacher of the class with the highest composite score would receive an extra subsidy at the end of the year.
The top three students from each class would also receive rewards. To motivate all students to exert effort, the principal additionally established a progress award. The student who showed the greatest improvement would receive a three yuan reward, as determined by the teachers based on academic performance.
It was difficult to be among the top three in the class, but the progress award was quite fair. Even the underperforming students had a chance to win this prize if their grades improved significantly compared to before.
Three yuan might be something people in the 21st century wouldn’t bother to bend down to pick up, but in the 1980s, it was considered a ‘fortune.’
Some kids didn’t even have that much pocket money in a year.
Everyone was envious of this progress award. Even those students who usually didn’t pay much attention in class started to focus keenly, actively asking the teacher questions whenever they didn’t understand something.
For the current Shen Mianmian, three yuan could very well be her start-up capital. First, she would earn three yuan, then during the New Year season, she would figure out how to multiply it manifold.
“Got your eyes on those three yuan?” Lu Siyuan saw through Shen Mianmian’s thoughts in an instant. The girl hadn’t reacted much when the teacher mentioned the top three prizes, but at the mention of the progress award, her eyes lit up with the gleam of gold.
Shen Mianmian did not deny it and seriously asked him, “How many points do you think I need to earn to get this award?”
Lu Siyuan analyzed, “You at least have to pass.”
Others might just need to improve by seven or eight ranks to get the award, but Mianmian was different. Many students in the class didn’t like her, and the Chinese language teacher didn’t like her either.
If she didn’t come up with a particularly impressive score, the progress award wouldn’t fall into her hands.
Shen Mianmian’s eyes brightened as if the three yuan were already beckoning to her, “You’ve been to the city many times, so you must have some understanding of the market there, don’t you? What kind of business do you think can be done with three yuan?”
Lu Siyuan scoffed disdainfully, “Get the money first. The hurdle of Li Qiumei is not an easy one to clear.”
Shen Mianmian was rather exasperated. Did this guy think she was just boasting?
During this period, she had been busy studying and hadn’t properly worked on her relationship with Lu Siyuan. She hadn’t paid much attention before, but now, thinking carefully about the time they spent sitting together, it seemed he really did consider her a foolish and naive deskmate.
If this went on, it wouldn’t be favorable for him to take her to the city to do business. She definitely needed to work on Lu Siyuan’s mindset after class.
The so-called ideal is plump, but reality is skinny, and this probably described Shen Mianmian well. The moment the bell signaling the end of class rang, Shen Mianmian had not yet spoken when Lu Siyuan got up and went to the restroom.
She was speechless, thinking she might as well go to the restroom herself. In the school’s public toilets, the men’s and women’s were adjacent to each other. Many girls went to the restroom in pairs, but she was the only one who walked alone.
As she arrived at the restroom entrance, she heard Wang Jingjing’s voice coming from inside.
“During the class earlier, I heard Shen Mianmian talking about the progress award. She wouldn’t be eyeing that award too, would she?”
After saying this, a mocking laugh followed.
