52099？
Looking at the number on the message, Gu Shao's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The first 50,000 should be the money he transferred to the girl in the afternoon, so where did the 2099 come from?
"What, Shao Xuan also received the parent-teacher conference notice?" Gu Feng raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw Gu Shao staring at the phone screen with a confused expression that was even more exaggerated than Gu Xuan's.
— — I almost forgot that these two guys in front of me are inexperienced fathers.
However, they didn't.
Gu Shao looked at his WeChat and text messages again, but there was still no notice about the parent-teacher conference.
"Do Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi have a habit of saving money?" Gu Shao asked the two of them.
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned. Then, they shook their heads without hesitation and said almost simultaneously, "How is that possible?"
"It's already good enough that Gu Yanxiao can spend money," Gu Feng said.
Hearing this, Gu Xuan sneered and said, "Gu Chenyi, don't expect him to save money."
He and Gu Chenyi's mother spent most of their time abroad, especially when Gu Chenyi was young.
However, this kid was quite smart. He separately asked for pocket money from him and his mother. Not only did he take two sets of pocket money, he even went to complain to his grandfather that they didn't give him any pocket money.
Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xuan, who was gritting his teeth, and raised his eyebrows. Then, he calmly looked away.
— — That's because your kid can't do it.
Gu Shao gave an honest evaluation in his heart.
When they met Gu Shao's gaze, the other two were speechless.
Although they didn't know what Gu Shao was thinking, they felt that Shao Xuan's gaze was mocking them.
— —
At this moment, another message notification sounded.
Finally, Gu Shao also received a "parent-teacher conference notice" from the homeroom teacher of Class 7 in the parent contact group.
[Homeroom teacher: Good morning, parents. This month's parent-teacher conference will start at 2 pm next Monday. Please be sure to attend on time. If you need to apply for leave, please contact me individually. Also, I want to emphasize this point: Grandpa, Grandma, Elder Brother and Elder Sister, please try not to come and represent us.]
As soon as the homeroom teacher sent out the notice, some parents replied with a series of [Received.]
Just as Gu Shao was about to reply [Got it], he received a message from his homeroom teacher.
In the private message, the homeroom teacher's tone was very polite: [Professor Gu, I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night. Did you see the notification in the group?]
[Gu Shao: Yes.]
[Homeroom teacher: That's good. Do you have time to come to our class's parent-teacher conference?]
Of course, the homeroom teacher hoped that Gu Shao could attend the parent-teacher conference. However, Professor Gu was such a busy man that she wasn't sure if he had the time.
When he saw the message, Gu Shao replied without hesitation: [I have time. No problem.]
[Homeroom teacher: That's good.]
Then, the homeroom teacher sent another message: [Gu Xi did very well in this month's exam!]
The homeroom teacher's words were filled with excitement.
Upon seeing this, Gu Shao's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile.
He replied politely: [Sorry for troubling you.]
Then, Gu Shao put down his phone and looked at the two people in front of him. He originally wanted to ask, "How did your child do?" However, after thinking about it, he held back.
— —
On the other hand, downstairs.
Gu Xi also saw the news of the parent-teacher conference in the classmate group chat.
[Latest news! My mom just received a message from Old Chen. The parent-teacher conference will be held next Monday!]
[Oh my god! It's going to be held next Monday?]
[This weekend isn't going to be good …]
[Save the child.]
[I thought I'd have to wait until next Friday. I didn't expect it to be held on Monday. I'm done for.]
[Me too. I feel like I did really badly in this exam.]
…
At this time, the class group chat was filled with wailing.
However, the focus of everyone's attention soon changed again.
[The parent-teacher conference will be held on Monday afternoon. In that case, won't we be able to see the results list when we arrive at school on Monday?]
[That's very likely.]
[I … I'm actually looking forward to it a little?]
[Haha, me too. Although I didn't do well this time, I bet on three books!]
[You only bet on three books. I bet on four books and a textbook!]
[Me, me, me …]
…
This time, the number of people in the class who bet on Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan was about half and half. Therefore, the odds for the two of them were about the same.
Thus, the topic of discussion quickly turned to who would come in first between Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan.
Gu Xi looked at it for a while and stopped looking.
Because she didn't want to admit that she was actually a little nervous.
— —
At night, although Old Master Gu tried his best to make them stay, Gu Shao still brought Gu Xi home.
[Do you think I don't know?] The last time Gu Xi slept here, Gu Yanlin and the others bought milk tea for Gu Xi in the middle of the night?
In order to keep his daughter away from junk food, Gu Shao decided to bring Gu Xi along.
When they arrived home, Gu Shao went to the study while Gu Xi went to her room.
Although they weren't together, the father and daughter were doing similar things at this time.
In the room, Gu Xi took out her small booklet called "Risk Reduction Fund" and carefully recorded down the money she had deposited today.
[She received 50000 yuan for the idea of the "Qing Cheng Competition" project from Gu Shao. There might be some pocket money left.]
[She received 2000 yuan as a reward for the "Science League" from the school.]
[She swindled 151 yuan from her grandfather. After deducting 52.2 yuan from the handling fee.]
After recording these few sums of money and double-checking to make sure that there were no mistakes, Gu Xi carefully closed the small booklet and put it in the drawer.
On the other hand, in the study.
Gu Shao took another look at the money that Gu Xi had deposited into the card and recorded this number. Finally, he added a zero and deposited it into another account.
[Deposit Amount: 520990 yuan. Note: Xixi's living expenses.]
This account was opened under Gu Xi's name, but Gu Xi herself didn't know about it.
Before the deposit of 520990 yuan, there were already two deposits in this account. This was the "living expenses" that Gu Xi had given him previously.
The first "living expenses" that Gu Xi had given him was 456 yuan.
Gu Shao kept the stack of money in the cabinet.
Later, Gu Shao thought about it and simply opened an account under Gu Xi's name and deposited the money.
However, when he deposited it, Gu Shao added a "0" behind it.
One month later, Gu Xi gave him another 1,800 yuan. It seemed that this girl had won the prize money for participating in a small Mathematical Olympiad competition on behalf of a training organization.
Gu Shao deposited another 10,000 yuan into this account.
[At this rate, this girl will soon become a "little rich lady".]
Gu Shao smiled and thought to himself.
However, there was nothing wrong with saving some money. He had read about it in an article before. It said that establishing a special deposit for a child was also a special bond between parents and children.
Gu Shao planned to give this card to Gu Xi when she became an adult.
…
When he saw the notification that [Transfer Successful], Gu Shao put away his phone.
As for where Gu Xi's "52099" came from, Gu Shao still didn't know.
And there was still an inexplicable concern in his heart.
Originally, Gu Shao wanted to ask Gu Xi, but on the way home, Gu Xi kept talking to him, so he forgot about this matter.
—
The weekend passed quickly.
On Monday morning, it was rare for Gu Xi and Gu Shao to go out together.
Gu Xi was sitting at the dining table. When she saw Gu Shao coming over, she immediately raised her head.
Looking at Gu Shao, Gu Xi smiled and said, "Daddy, you look super handsome today."
Although Gu Xi's praise was very abrupt, Gu Shao's lips curled up a little.
Then, he heard Gu Xi say, "You can wear this when you go to our school."
"Oh, I mean, next time when you have the chance to go to our school." Gu Xi explained again, her voice obviously weaker.
Upon hearing Gu Xi's words, Gu Shao's hand, which was holding chopsticks, paused slightly.
How could Gu Shao not know what Gu Xi meant?
For the entire weekend, for two days, Gu Xi had been intentionally or unintentionally trying to talk about "going to school" in a roundabout way.
Was this girl trying to remind him about the Parent-Teacher Conference? Did she hope that he would go to the Parent-Teacher Conference, but was afraid that he wouldn't go?
Thinking of this, Gu Shao looked at Gu Xi. Although she hid it well, there was still a trace of nervousness and caution in her eyes. Thinking of this, Gu Shao felt both amused and distressed.
"I will be there on time for the Parent-Teacher Conference in the afternoon." Gu Shao went straight to the point.
Seeing Gu Xi suddenly raise her head with a surprised and surprised expression, Gu Shao continued, "Next time, if there's anything you want to say or if there's anything you want to say, just say it to me directly."
There was no need to beat around the bush, and there was no need for her to be so cautious.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Gu Xi's face froze slightly and her cheeks flushed red. She was a little embarrassed. She had been trying so hard to "hint" to Gu Shao for two days, but it turned out that Gu Shao already knew …
Gu Xi lowered her eyes and nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
At this moment, Gu Shao's voice came from above. "I'll send you to school when you're done eating."
Recently, Gu Shao had been too busy and had not sent Gu Xi to school for a while.
Sure enough, upon hearing Gu Shao's words, Gu Xi immediately put on a bright smile on her face. "I'm done eating. Let's go."
"I'm done eating."
"I'm done eating."
"Swallow the green bean pancake."
"Oh."
…
After sending Gu Xi to school, Gu Shao went directly to NTN.
On the other side, Gu Xi arrived at the classroom. As soon as she stepped in, she felt a "restless" atmosphere that was completely different from usual.
She did not even need to think to know why.
Originally, when everyone heard that there was going to be a parent-teacher conference today, they excitedly rushed to the general area in front of the teaching building early in the morning to take a look. However, they found that the results list had not been posted yet.
Therefore, everyone was in an abyss of suffering at this moment.
When Gu Xi walked to her seat, Dong Mingming, who was beside her, immediately grabbed her arm.
"Gu Xi, are you nervous?"
"A little." Gu Xi nodded.
"I'm so nervous!" Dong Mingming said. She had bet five times that she would be a top student! According to the current odds of 1: 3, if she lost, it would be equivalent to 16.5 times five times five times five times!
She had never been so nervous about her own exams.
"Gu Xi, tell me seriously. Are you really confident?" Dong Mingming stared at Gu Xi and asked.
Gu Xi also nodded seriously. "Yes, I'm quite confident."
However, Dong Mingming's expression did not improve. She was still nervous. If Gu Xi had not bet on Sheng Xiuyan, she would have believed Gu Xi's words.
—
As the two of them were talking, suddenly, someone in the class shouted, "It's out!"
"What's out?" The person next to him asked.
"The monthly list! It's out! "
As soon as this was said, most of the people in the class jumped up.
"Damn! It's out? What's going on? "
"I don't know. No one has posted it yet."
"I'm not waiting. I'll go and take a look."
"I'll go too!"
…
Many people rushed out of the classroom in unison.
Dong Mingming also pulled Gu Xi's hand. "Let's go and take a look too." It was the greatest mental torture to wait here for the other students to post the results.
Gu Xi looked at the time. There was still some time before the morning reading, so she nodded and followed Dong Mingming.
—
When the two of them arrived at the general area, the small square was already surrounded by a crowd of people.
The twenty or so large display boards in front of them were particularly eye-catching.
Gu Xi and Dong Mingming squeezed into the crowd again, and only then did they see the numbers and names on the display boards clearly.
"Gu Xi, yours is over there! You're on the Royal List! "Dong Mingming suddenly pulled Gu Xi excitedly, and then pointed to the leftmost direction and said.
At the very front of these display boards, there were three boards that were different from the others. There were only three names on each board, and they represented the top three students of each grade in this monthly examination. The other three boards represented the students of the first, second, and third grades respectively.
Before he finished speaking, Dong Mingming suddenly exclaimed, "Ahhh! Gu Xi, you're really number one! "
Upon hearing Dong Mingming's words, Gu Xi also carefully looked at the 'Royal List' in the middle. Her name was indeed number one.
In fact, if she carefully looked at the scores at the back, it was very dramatic. Her total score was actually the same as Sheng Xiuyan's. However, coincidentally, her name was ranked in front of Sheng Xiuyan's.
At this moment, the surrounding people were also discussing this matter:
"Oh my god, is this true? Their total scores are actually the same?! "
"This is too unreal!"
"Haha, previously, everyone was still discussing which of these two experts had higher scores. Now, this is the result. Everyone is dumbfounded."
They were indeed quite dumbfounded. Not only that, but both of their scores were also so abnormal. Out of a total score of 900, both of them scored 889, which was almost a full score.
Compared to the 'neat' scores of these two people, the third person's score of 831 was simply out of place on this list.
"So, Sheng Xiuyan and I are actually tied for first place?" Gu Xi asked.
"Of course not," Dong Mingming said, and then pointed to the number in front of the 'Royal List' and said, "Look, the number in front of your name is number one. Xiu Shen is number two, hehe."
As for the reason, Dong Mingming also explained it to Gu Xi.
— — Including the chemistry they had learned in advance, they had taken a total of nine exams. For the sake of statistics, the monthly examination of the affiliated high school of A University was a full 100 points.
However, in fact, in the city-wide comprehensive examination and the future high school entrance examination, the scores of the three subjects, language, mathematics, and foreign languages, would be higher and naturally have more weight.
Therefore, the affiliated high school made a rule that if the total scores were the same, the scores of the main subjects would be prioritized, and there would be no tie for ranking.
Coincidentally, in this monthly examination, Gu Xi's language score was exactly 1.5 points higher than Sheng Xiuyan's.
Therefore, this time, Gu Xi was still number one.
"Gu Xi, you're so awesome! I love you so much! "Dong Mingming jumped excitedly, and then gave Gu Xi a big hug.
— — Fortunately, Gu Xi "saved" her. Otherwise, with her rubbish speed, it would be impossible for her to finish the 16.5 books in this semester!
Now that she didn't have to do it, the losers could do it instead. It was simply awesome!
It was worthy of celebration! Great joy!
Dong Mingming was excited. Suddenly, he remembered that Gu Xi seemed to have bet on Sheng Xiuyan, so he quickly restrained himself and looked at Gu Xi guiltily and sympathetically.
"Gu Xi, you're finished …" 12 books. Conservatively speaking, if she tripled it, she would get 36 books!
However, in fact, Gu Xi was also very excited now. 36 books. This time, she made a big profit.
Gu Xi smiled, looked at the time again, and pulled Dong Mingming along. "Let's go."
— —
The two of them arrived at the classroom.
As soon as Gu Xi stepped in, the classroom rang with enthusiastic cheers.
"She's here, she's here!"
"Haha! Gu Xi is here! "
"Hurry up, everyone, are you ready?"
…
Hearing everyone's cheers, Gu Xi looked into the classroom, only to find that everyone was not in their seats at this time. Instead, they were all gathered at the door of the classroom.
Obviously, some of the students who went to the comprehensive building had already posted the monthly examination results in the class group. That was why these people were so excited at this time.
However, wasn't it a little too exaggerated?
Gu Xi muttered.
On this side, when they saw Gu Xi come in, everyone consciously separated to the two sides, making a path for Gu Xi.
Gu Xi walked into the classroom hesitantly amidst everyone's warm applause.
At this time, Gu Xi realized that the two rows of seats in the front row of the classroom had been moved to the back, leaving the area in front of the podium empty. What was even more exaggerated was that the words "Award Ceremony" were written in large letters on the blackboard in front of the podium.
The class monitor walked over, said "Congratulations", and pulled Gu Xi to the middle.
Originally, Gu Xi was still thinking that it was a little too "wasteful" for everyone to congratulate her on winning the first place in the cohort with such fanfare.
Until Gu Xi heard the class monitor's next words …
"First of all, let's congratulate Gu Xi for winning the 'King of Gamblers' award!"
"Next, I announce the official start of the award ceremony. Everyone, please give me a round of applause!"
After a round of applause, a self-made ribbon was put on Gu Xi's body.
"Next, let's give Gu Xi the prize!" The class monitor said and pulled Gu Xi to the front of the podium.
At this time, a large box was placed on the podium, which could be said to be quite conspicuous.
Then, the class monitor smiled like a "luxury store manager" and introduced to Gu Xi, "Gu Xi, all your prizes are here, and we've already prepared them for you. There are five and three prizes for each subject. There are nine prizes this semester and nine next semester. In addition, there are also three textbooks for top students other than English and Mathematics."
"Come, receive your big gift bag!"
As soon as the class monitor finished speaking, the people around them even started to sing to the tune of the athletes' march. There were also a few people who used their mouths to match the sound of fireworks.
Gu Xi: "…"
— —
In the end, Sheng Xiuyan helped Gu Xi to carry the 39 big gift bags back to her seat.
After placing the big gift bags in front of Gu Xi's desk, Sheng Xiuyan said, "Good luck."
No matter how you looked at it, his tone sounded like he was gloating.
Gu Xi raised her eyebrows and asked Sheng Xiuyan, "You don't have any?"
Gu Xi originally thought that with Sheng Xiuyan's personality, his answer would be "I didn't participate in this kind of casual bet." In the end, she saw Sheng Xiuyan curl his lips and say, "I bet on you."
