During a break between classes, almost everyone in the class sent Gu Xi a sympathetic message.
However, in reality, Gu Xi was quite happy to receive these supplementary practice books.
It would be even better if there were a few more!
Gu Xi categorized these books and put them away in her drawer and her own cabinet at the back of the classroom with satisfaction.
After that, Gu Xi thought about it and forwarded the photo of her getting first place on the "Royal List" to Gu Shao.

Meanwhile, Gu Shao was having a meeting at NTN.
When he felt his phone vibrate, Gu Shao glanced at the screen of his phone. When he saw that it was a message from Gu Xi, Gu Shao picked up his phone and opened Gu Xi's WeChat message.
At the side, the people from the research and development department of the ARC chip were making a progress report. Due to some technical reasons, their product development progress was a month behind the original plan.
Originally, they were prepared to receive the CEO's "death by a thousand cuts". However, everyone realized that after their team leader finished his report and technical analysis, the CEO did not start lecturing them.
Also, was he hallucinating because he was too nervous? Did they just see the CEO?
However, these people soon realized that the CEO was there just now, but it had nothing to do with their project.
Although no one knew what Gu Shao had received on his phone, they were certain that the CEO's mood had become quite good after looking at his phone.
However, they were not worthy of this good feeling.
Just as the people from ARC were muttering among themselves, they saw Gu Shao glance at them again. His gaze was still as stern as ever.
"Who is in charge of the risk control? Continue with the problem analysis," Gu Shao said in a deep voice.
His stern voice immediately made the atmosphere tense again.
The deputy team leader's face tensed up and he immediately sat up straight. He lowered his head and began to analyze the reason for the delay in their research and development this time.
On the other hand, Gu Shao listened to the deputy team leader's report while glancing at the results list sent by Gu Xi. The two dazzling words "Gu Xi" and the number "1" in front of it.
…
On the other hand, Gu Feng and Gu Xuan, who were at their own jobs and at one of the Gu family's industrial sites, were surprised to receive the news from Gu Shao.
After all, it was rare for the second son of the Gu family to send them a message.
At first, the two of them thought that Gu Shao had something to do with the Gu family. However, when they clicked on Gu Shao's message, they realized that this guy was actually inviting them to a parent-teacher meeting at school!
"I almost thought something had happened …" Gu Xuan muttered as he held his phone. Then, he complained in his phone, "Second Brother's style is gradually becoming more and more different from before."
Moreover, even though Gu Shao's message was simple, Gu Xuan felt that there was a sense of pride in his words.
Obviously, Gu Feng on the other side thought so as well.
However, even though they were complaining, they still happily agreed after receiving Gu Shao's message.
— —
Over here, in the school.
Gu Xi received Gu Shao's reply.
However, there were only two words: [Not bad.]
— That's it? Didn't he have anything else to say?
Gu Xi scrolled through the message on the chat page a few times and repeatedly confirmed that Gu Shao really only replied to her with one sentence.
Gu Xi waited for a few seconds before a new message popped up on the chat page: [Pay attention in class.]
Gu Xi: "…"
For the entire morning, Gu Xijiu had been holding her phone in a daze for four periods of time.
When Dong Mingming saw this, he immediately cast a comforting look at Gu Xi and held her hand.
"Don't be sad. It's just a loss …" It was just a bigger bet.
"It's just 39 yuan. Actually, it's not that much …" Dong Mingming's voice became weaker and weaker. In the end, he patted Gu Xi's shoulder encouragingly.
"Gu Xi, you have to believe in yourself. You can do it," Dong Mingming added with a serious expression. However, no matter how one looked at it, he seemed to be saying, "Gu Xi, you have to be strong. Hang in there and don't hang up."
After saying that, Dong Mingming thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "If you really can't do it, I'll take over the English classes."
"Also, let's add another top language student."
Dong Mingming thought that Gu Xi had been so anxious and anxious all morning because of the 39 supplementary exercise books. Therefore, he kept comforting Gu Xi.
However, he did not know that Gu Xi was very satisfied with the 39 books that she had "lost" to her. What Gu Xi was really worried about was the parent-teacher conference in the afternoon.
Although Gu Shao had promised to attend the parent-teacher conference during breakfast, Gu Xi was still a little nervous.
On her phone, there was still Gu Shao's message saying "Not bad" and the message telling her to pay attention in class. There was nothing else.
In fact, Gu Xi really hoped that he would say a few more words to her.
However, she was afraid that she would receive a message from Gu Shao saying that he was busy with something and could not attend the parent-teacher conference.
Gu Xi's strange nervousness lasted from morning to afternoon.
Until she received another message from Gu Shao on her phone: "I'll be at your school soon."
When she saw this message, Gu Xi's eyes lit up. Her nervousness seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
Dong Mingming looked at Gu Xi's dazed expression and looked suspicious. He tugged at her sleeve and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"My dad is here," Gu Xi said, and the smile on her face widened a little.
The corners of Dong Mingming's mouth twitched slightly. "…" Even if that was the case, did she have to be so agitated?
It was as if this was her first parent-teacher conference.
Dong Mingming muttered to herself in her mind.
However, when he thought of Gu Xi's score this time, he instantly "realized": How could he forget that Gu Xi had gotten first place in the cohort this time!
If she could get first place in the cohort one day, she might even be more excited than Gu Xi at the parent-teacher conference.
However, Dong Mingming did not know that Gu Xi was only excited because she was worried that Gu Shao would not be able to attend.
After all, Gu Xi had received a lot of replies like "Next time", "If there's anything, I'll ask the teacher over the phone", "Grandma can't leave" …
Later on, she did not even receive such replies.
…
Gu Xi began to tidy up her desk.
First, she put all the lessons and exercise books in the drawers and on the desk according to the subject and size. Then, she divided them into two stacks and put them into the drawers. Then, she folded the test papers and exercise questions one by one and put them neatly into the drawers. Even the draft papers were smoothed out and folded neatly. Then, she put them together, leaving a clean and tidy desk.
After that, Gu Xi took a few pieces of wet tissue and wiped the desk super clean.
Not only did she clean the desk and drawers, but she also cleaned the corners and crevices.
Dong Mingming was dumbfounded as he watched Gu Xi tidy up the desk as if she was on steroids.
It was necessary to tidy up the desk for the parent-teacher conference later.
Although she was tidying up, she just stuffed the things on the desk into the drawers and was done. At most, she hid a few comic books that her parents could not find. She was not as exaggerated as Gu Xi.
"Gu Xi, it's about time," Dong Mingming looked at Gu Xi and said faintly.
After a pause, when he saw Gu Xi looking at him, Dong Mingming muttered, "You don't give me the feeling of a parent-teacher conference at all."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows. "What does it look like?"
"Welcome the distinguished guests," Dong Mingming said decisively. Moreover, it was a super heavyweight VVVVVVIP VIP.
Hearing Dong Mingming's words, Gu Xi, who was packing up her stationery, paused. She said unnaturally, "Is that so?"
"I'm just a little nervous," Gu Xi said again, her voice slightly lower.
This was her first parent-teacher conference.
To be precise, it was the first time parents had attended a parent-teacher conference.
In the past, when she was in the Lin family, no one had ever attended a parent-teacher conference for Gu Xi.
Lin Yize and Song Kexin would attend a parent-teacher conference for Lin Anxin. For some positive publicity, the two of them would attend a parent-teacher conference for Lin Anxin together.
However, the two of them had never attended a parent-teacher conference for Gu Xi.
For a long time, no matter how many points Gu Xi scored, received, or received by the teachers, her seat was always empty at the parent-teacher conference.
She was the only one at the parent-teacher conference.
The only time was when Gu Xi was in the first year of junior high school. Lin Anxin was still in elementary school, so their parent-teacher conferences were not on the same day. That was the first parent-teacher conference for Gu Xi after she entered junior high school. Song Kexin promised Gu Xi that he would attend a parent-teacher conference for her.
On that day, Gu Xi did the same as she did now. She tidied up the lessons and test papers on the desk neatly and wiped the desk inside and out.
However, even after waiting for all the parents to arrive, Gu Xi did not see Song Kexin's shadow.
Until the head teacher asked her to call her parents, but the call was hung up. After a while, Gu Xi received a message from Song Kexin: "I have something to do and can't leave. If you have any questions, ask the teacher to call me after the conference."
—
On the other side, Gu Xi tidied up the desk and moved the things that could not fit into the cabinet at the back with Dong Mingming.
On the other side, the three parents of the Gu family successfully met at the school gate.
The display board for the results and ranking was in front of the teaching building a few steps into the school. The location was very eye-catching and could be seen as soon as one entered the school. As a result, many parents had already gathered in front of the display board.
"What's that over there? Why are there so many people? " Gu Xuan, who had attended his son's parent-teacher conference for the first time since his son entered junior high school, looked at the crowd with a strange expression and asked.
He wanted to ask his eldest son this question. However, he did not expect that the first person to answer him would be Gu Shao.
"The results and ranking," Gu Shao said calmly.
"How did you know?" Gu Xuan looked at Gu Shao strangely. Compared to him, this guy was the one who had attended his first parent-teacher conference.
Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xuan and did not answer this "stupid question" correctly. However, the expression on his face was a little smug.
—
The three of them walked closer and almost immediately saw Gu Xi's name on the largest display board.
"Xixi got first place in the exam this time!" Gu Feng raised his voice and said in surprise.
He seemed to know what the photo Gu Yanxiao had posted in the group this morning was.
In the morning, Gu Yanxiao had suddenly posted a photo in the group. However, before anyone could see it clearly, the photo had been deleted.
After that, Grandpa Gu asked what it was, and Gu Yanxiao had only said secretly that it was a big surprise.
Now that they compared it, the photo that Gu Yanxiao had posted before was Gu Xi's ranking display board.
"Haha, this little melon seed is so smart!" Gu Feng said again.
Gu Xuan, who was beside him, nodded in agreement. "She inherited this from our Gu family."
Fortunately, she did not inherit this from her unreliable biological mother.
Gu Xuan complained again in the group. Not only Song Kexin, but also Zhang Cui, they are all stupid.
However, Gu Shao looked at Gu Xuan and said, "You're thinking too much." Then he heard Gu Shao say calmly, "She inherited it from me."
Gu Xuan, "…" Showing off! This was a blatant show off!
Gu Feng, who was beside him, also looked at the second display board.
Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi's names were on it.
Although the two of them did not squeeze into the "Royal List" this time, they did very well in the exam.
"Gu Yanxiao is 9th, not bad, not bad. Gu Chenyi is 27th, not bad. Haha, just a little biased," Gu Feng said as he glanced at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan, "…" Don't think that he did not see the smugness in his eldest brother's eyes!
He had never thought that the three brothers of the Gu family, who were united, would one day compete with each other because of their children! Was it the loss of morals or the loss of humanity?!
No, when he went back, he would call Gu Chenyi's mother and discuss it with her to sign him up for two classes, no, three classes. Language, history, and politics were all arranged.
— —
"Let's go, let's go. There's nothing to see," Gu Xuan said.
The three of them were about to leave when they coincidentally met an 'acquaintance'.
Sun Feiyan — Gu Yao's wife.
Not long after leaving the Gu family, Gu Yao got to know Sun Feiyan through some channels.
The Sun family's business in B City was not considered big, but they had a lot of connections over the years. In the past few years, Gu Yao used the Sun family's connections and the Gu family's name to develop his business smoothly.
However, Sun Feiyan's personality was a little tricky. When she first came to the Gu family, she just happened to meet Cui Min, Gu Chenyi's mother. One of them was mean and arrogant, while the other had a fiery temper. Because of some things, they had a big fight. After that, Sun Feiyan did not go to the Gu family's house during the holidays.
The Sun Feiyan now was not much different from the time when she 'wore gold and silver' and stepped into the Gu family's house.
However, because of the recent rumors about Gu Yao, Gu Yao's business was not doing well. As a result, Sun Feiyan's condition was not good. Even with heavy makeup, it was difficult to hide the green color on her face.
Seeing the three Gu brothers, Sun Feiyan was stunned at first, then she immediately pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
She thought that she hid it well, but she did not know that Gu Shao and the other two had already seen her pouting.
"What a coincidence." Sun Feiyan said.
"It is," Gu Feng replied, then asked, "You're here for Xue 'er's parent-teacher conference?"
"Yes." Sun Feiyan said a few perfunctory words, but she still could not hold back and complained, "Yao has been so busy recently. How could he have time to come? I'm the only one who can come."
After a pause, Sun Feiyan continued, "I say, Old Master is really too much. The rumors are so fierce, but he doesn't come out to clarify things."
Of course, the three Gu brothers knew what the rumors were, but they did not want to talk about it.
Gu Feng looked at the results list and said casually, "Xue 'er did quite well this time, right?"
When the eldest Gu brother said this, Gu Xuan almost could not hold it in.
He even suspected that the eldest Gu brother said this on purpose.
According to the school's ranking, the top three students of the three grades would be placed in the 'Royal List', while the rest would be placed in the back according to their grades and grades.
Gu Xueer's ranking was towards the back of the third grade, while the children of the two families were in the front of the second grade. That was why they met Sun Feiyan in this position.
Sure enough, when Gu Feng said this, Sun Feiyan's face immediately turned ugly.
— — Her children's grades were something that made her very unhappy.
Gu Yanlin from the Gu family was already eye-catching enough, but Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi's grades had always been good.
Although Gu Xueer's grades were above average in the grade, compared to the three children of the Gu family, it was nothing.
Moreover, in this monthly exam, Gu Xueer's grades had plummeted to the bottom.
Sun Feiyan was unwilling to accept this, but she still said stubbornly, "It's okay, I don't really care about grades."
"Our Xue 'er mainly needs to cultivate her various skills and talents. She can't just study and become an idiot, right?"
Sun Feiyan said this to save some face and show off her daughter's many talents.
However, before she could finish speaking, Gu Shao threw out a sentence, "What's the point of studying so many things that you don't like?"
These words did not leave Sun Feiyan any face at all.
Before Sun Feiyan could refute, Gu Shao said, "I'll take my leave first." Then, he left the crowd.
— —
Gu Shao left because he noticed Gu Xi not too far away. At this moment, Gu Xi was standing on the side of the road not too far away from the school gate. She was eagerly looking in the direction of the school gate.
Gu Shao walked behind Gu Xi. When he looked at Gu Xi, the expression on his face became much gentler.
"Waiting for me?" Gu Shao asked.
When she heard Gu Shao's voice, Gu Xi was stunned. Only then did she realize that Gu Shao had already entered the school.
Gu Xi turned around and said, "Dad," embarrassedly, "I thought …"
"You thought that I wouldn't come?"
"No." Gu Xi shook her head. She tried hard to think of a reason and explained, "I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find me."
"Let's go, Dad. The parent-teacher conference is about to start." With that, Gu Xi pulled Gu Shao and walked towards the classroom of Class 7.
