"I don't value grades that much and I'm quite democratic, so let's have a voting system for the class monitor position!"

Although Tang Yuanming said he didn't care about the results, his actions betrayed him.

Because the names he wrote on the blackboard were: Qian Sanyi, Xia Xue, Shi Miao, and Qiao Yingzi.

They say they don't care about grades, but the blackboard is full of top students' names, and there isn't a single name of a poor student.

After writing down the four names, Tang Yuanming turned around and was about to ask the students to start voting when he suddenly remembered that although the principal had instructed Xia Ze not to be too high-profile, running for class monitor should be fine.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuanming turned around and added Xia Ze's name to the blackboard.

When Xia Ze's name appeared on the blackboard, it made many students in the class's eyes light up, such as Fang Yifan and Gou Ge.

Their thinking was simple: if Xia Ze became the class monitor, they would have someone to rely on.

Chapter Twelve: Conflict with Qian San (Seeking flowers and ratings)

"Old Xia, we're all definitely supporting you!" Fang Yifan left his seat and surrounded Xia Ze.

Tang Yuanming saw this but did nothing about it.

Seeing that the teacher wasn't paying attention, the other students gathered in small groups to discuss who to vote for.

Jiang Tianhao, Shi Fen, and others surrounded Xia Ze.

"Old Xia, you absolutely have to become the class monitor. If you do, we brothers will be proud of you," Jiang Tianhao said.

"Brothers, campaign for Lao Xia! We'll make sure he's the class monitor no matter the cost," said Dog Brother.

Xia Ze couldn't help but chuckle at the excited Fang Yifan; these guys were as eager as he was to become class monitor.

Xia Ze glanced at Lin Miaomiao, who was lost in thought, and gently nudged her with his elbow: "Do you think I should be the class monitor?"

Lin Miaomiao pouted and thought about it carefully: "If you become the class monitor and I sneak snacks in class, will you cover for me?"

Xia Ze was genuinely delighted to hear this.

As expected of Lin Miaomiao, the number one foodie in elite high school!

"will not."

"Tch! I won't vote for you then."

"I guarantee you'll vote for me." Xia Ze smiled confidently.

Although he didn't know where his confidence came from, he just felt that Lin Miaomiao would vote for him.

Lin Miaomiao was about to retort when a very discordant voice came from behind her.

"Teacher, I think the position of class monitor should be given to someone who does well in school."

The one who spoke was Qian Sanyi, another prominent figure in the class. The whole school knew that he was the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, whom the elite high school had poached with a lot of money.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yifan and the others were clearly furious.

Dog Brother shouted, "Qian Sanyi, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything." Qian Sanyi's voice was unusually cold, but it took on a different meaning when it reached Fang Yifan and the others.

"Who says a slacker can't be class monitor?" Xia Xue stood up angrily.

She glared angrily at Qian Sanyi.

If her older brother hadn't wanted to keep his grades a secret, Xia Xue would have loved to tell Qian Sanyi that her brother had also been poached by the school at great expense, and that the school had spent even more money on him.

Lin Miaomiao, Xia Ze's deskmate and good "brother," is also very angry.

She was about to stand up and speak for Xia Ze when Xia Ze grabbed her hand and forcibly pulled her down.

Under everyone's gaze, Xia Ze slowly stood up.

"You're right, the position of class monitor does depend on grades, but how do you know I'm a poor student? Did you investigate me?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Sanyi also stood up, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Fang Yifan, Brother Gou, and the others.

Although Qian Sanyi didn't explain, his classmates all understood what he meant: academic underachievers can get along well with each other.

Xia Ze had already become a member of the group of academic underachievers after only two days of school, so everyone had already assumed that he was an academic underachiever as well.

"Bang!" Dog Brother slammed his hand on the table, glaring angrily at Qian Sanyi: "Do you want to fight?!"

Qian Sanyi glanced at Dog Brother indifferently and ignored him, but the disdain that flashed in his eyes seemed to be a response to Dog Brother.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Tang Yuanming quickly intervened: "Classmates, calm down. Actually, what Qian Sanyi said is not wrong."

"After all, the position of class monitor represents the face of a class, so it's safer to give it to a student who does well in school."

Tang Yuanming was clearly taking sides, his words implying that he was on Qian Sanyi's side.

Xia Ze felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Fang Hou'er, Gou Ge, please sit down first."

"Qian Sanyi, do you know why you don't have any friends? With your withdrawn personality, even if you get good grades, not many people will want to be your friend."

"So what if you're the top scorer in the high school entrance exam? Let me tell you, you'd better stay put on the sidelines during the first test of the new semester."

The students in the class were stunned by Xia Ze's domineering speech. Was he going to challenge Qian Sanyi?

Lin Miaomiao quietly tugged at Xia Ze's sleeve: "Are you crazy? He's the top scorer in the high school entrance exam!"

Xia Ze ignored Lin Miaomiao and continued to berate Qian Sanyi: "If you don't score as high as me, you have to apologize to me and Fang Yifan. If I don't score as high as you, I will apologize and drop out of school."

Upon hearing this, Lin Miaomiao's expression changed instantly, and she glared angrily at Xia Ze.

Fang Yifan, Gou Ge, and the others were moved by Xia Ze's loyalty, but they were more worried than anything else.

Qian Sanyi frowned; he hadn't expected Xia Ze to confront him so directly.

"Okay." After accepting Xia Ze's challenge, Qian Sanyi sat down, and Xia Ze followed suit.

Tang Yuanming didn't expect things to develop this way, but he didn't say much. In his opinion, it was just children playing around and he would forget about it in a couple of days.

Soon, the voting began, and seven people supported Xia Xue as class monitor.

Five people supported Shi Miao as class monitor, while nine people supported Qiao Yingzi as class monitor.

Fourteen people supported Qian Sanyi.

Those who support Qian Sanyi share his view that the position of class monitor should be held by the top student.

In the end, Xia Ze was the only one left, with a total of twenty-three students in the class supporting him.

These votes included votes from Fang Yifan, Gou Ge, Zhu Weijiao, and their small group, as well as votes from other girls in the class.

After the voting ended, Tang Yuanming looked at the vote count on the wall without any surprise. He had guessed beforehand that Xia Ze would become the class monitor, but in his heart, he wanted to give the class monitor position to Qian Sanyi.

"As you can see from the results, starting today, Xia Ze will be the class monitor, and Qian Sanyi will be the vice class monitor."

Tang Yuanming was actually a little unhappy that he couldn't make Qian Sanyi the class monitor, so he created a deputy class monitor position for him instead.

"Alright, let's begin the lesson."

After the class monitor incident, Tang Yuanming began formal classes.

Tang Yuanming stood on the podium lecturing, and Lin Miaomiao didn't dare to do anything funny, so she picked up a notebook and wrote a sentence on it.

"Are you crazy?! Qian Sanyi was the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, how could you possibly beat him?"

Seeing the words in the notebook and Lin Miaomiao's obvious anger, Xia Ze knew that she was angry at him for making the bet so casually.

Now it was time to coax Lin Miaomiao, Xia Ze replied, taking the notebook and writing on it.

Aren't you angry that he looks down on underachievers? Don't forget, you're an underachiever too.

[A bit... but that's not a reason for you to bet with him.]

Don't be angry! The top scorer in the high school entrance exam also has a nose and two eyes. How do you know you didn't score as high as him if you didn't try?

I think you should go to the hospital to get your brain checked. Never mind, if he really wants to expel you, I'll beg my aunt's husband.

Are you trying to prevent me from leaving school?

To be honest, I'm a little sad to see you go, after all, you were the first friend I made at this school!

Although Tang Yuanming was holding a book on the podium, he could see everything that was happening below him. Lin Miaomiao and Xia Ze's little tricks naturally couldn't escape his eyes.

Chapter Thirteen: Youth is about chasing and playing around (Seeking flowers and ratings)

A class period is not long to begin with.

The election of class monitor had wasted a lot of time, and Tang Yuanming was just about to reprimand Lin Miaomiao when the bell rang.

Left with no other option, Tang Yuanming packed his things and left the classroom.

As soon as the teacher left, Fang Yifan, Gou Ge, and the others surrounded Xia Ze, looking at him with admiration.

"Old Xia, you're too tough!"

"Holy crap, you dare to challenge the top scorer in the high school entrance exam? From now on, you're my big brother, my dear big brother."

Although they expressed their admiration, Fang Yifan and the others were still quite worried.

At this moment, Xu Weijiao, sitting on Fang Yifan's desk, said, "I think Lao Xia was too reckless this time. After all, Qian Sanyi is the top scorer in the high school entrance exam. What if Lao Xia doesn't outperform him?"
