Chapter 201: Their project for Youth Innovation Competition brought about heated discussions. (4)


Last time both Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan made up the examinations afterward and the teacher never announced Gu Xi's scores or ranking. As such, Gu Xi had no idea what the monthly examinations at HSAU was like.

Dong Mingming had, therefore, detailed it out for Gu Xi very seriously.

"Don't just think that the monthly examinations is just a monthly thing. Let me tell you, the monthly examinations at HSAU is identical to he final examinations, no, the city-wide final entrance examinations!"

Not only would there be the individual's scores for each subject and the total scores, there would also be their ranking for their grade.

In addition, the examination scores would be displayed on a board during the parent-teacher conference. In fact, the scores would be released simultaneously both online and offline. They would be posted on the front page of the forum as well.

As such, to those who had poor grades, this was more or less like a "public execution".

This was the reason that students at HSAU took the monthly examinations very seriously.

"But you have nothing to worry about lah. You are for sure going onto the 'Imperial Edict'." Dong Mingming giggled and said to Gu Xi.

Why was it called the "Imperial Edict"? Because the school would place the top three students on a separate board and their names would be bolded, very much resembling the "Imperial Edict" in old days.

As such, everyone was very curious right now whether Gu Xi or Sheng Xiuyan would be the zhuangyuan.*

"Oh mi, the curiosity is killing me!"

"And the rest of us too. Let me tell you." The Art Committee girl scooted back some and said, "It's not just our class. Many are talking about it in the forum as well!"

"Oh, right! Before you have returned to the classroom, everyone were setting up a 'wager', betting on which one of you will take first place."

"Really?" Dong Mingming's eyes lit up when she heard the Art Committee girl's words. "Who's accepting the bets? I need to go place my wager as well!"

Thinking about it some, Dong Mingming looked over at Gu Xi and said, "I guess I should bet on you."

Gu Xi's lips twitched a little when she saw the serious look on Dong Mingming. She asked, "What wager?"

Gambling is wrong.

The Art Committee girl went on to explain, "You know, 5.3, Complete Solutions, The Top Students, Study of Test Questions, Top Examples*...... any of those will do."

"5.3and Complete Solutions count for 2 wagers, the rest are 1 for 1. Meaning, if you don't want 5.3, you can substitute with 2 Top Examples." Dong Mingming elaborated some more on that. Having said that, Dong Mingming gave Gu Xi a serious look and patted her on her shoulder. "Gu Xi, I am going to go in heavy on you. My happiness for the rest of the school term relies on you. Do your best, mmm'kay?"

With the two's explanation, Gu Xi more or less figured out how the wager worked and, at the same time, find the format interesting.

"So the one who won can receive twice the amount of reference materials?" Gu Xi raised her brows and asked.

"Of course not. This is study guides we are talking about! Of course they would go to the losers," Dong Mingming said.

Having said that, Dong Mingming turned toward the Art Committee girl and asked, "How's the pay out right now?"
