"No, don't write my name..." Seeing her name prominently listed, especially as a disciplinary committee member—a position that involves dealing with many people—Ma Lele felt a little uneasy. But overall, she could accept it, so after a brief reprimand, she withdrew her condemnation.

“I’m about the same as you.” After saying that, Ma Lele showed Shang Yunmiao her own choice. Overall, the two wrote very similar things, except that they swapped the position of discipline committee member. They were in perfect sync.

Afterwards, Ma Lele looked at the lists of the other girls around her. Although there were some differences in individual positions, Zhang Xinyu was the class monitor in every single one of them.

Meanwhile, on Chen Bing's side...

"Brother Bing, who are you writing about?"

"I haven't written it yet, no rush."

Chen Bing waved his blank ballot and said leisurely to Cai Kunnan.

"Hey Bing, could you vote for me as a discipline committee member?"

“You want it? Sure, no problem.” Chen Bing added Cai Kunnan’s name without saying a word. He didn’t expect the other party to have such lofty ambitions. As his former elementary school classmate, he didn’t mind helping him out.

"Hehe, once I become the discipline committee member, no one will care about my discipline anymore." Seeing Chen Bing write his name down, Cai Kunnan chuckled and simply explained his dream.

He then continued to peddle his ambitions to others, describing his wonderful visions such as "If I achieve my lofty ambitions in the future" and "If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you."

There were many boys like him who were selling their ideals, such as Cai Shichen in the back row and Ma Shaolong in the front row. Unlike Cai Kunnan, who only talked about being the discipline committee member, Cai Shichen was obviously more ambitious. His goal was the position of class monitor, and he had successfully persuaded several people around him to vote for him.

"What's up? Who's the class monitor voting for?"

"Whatever, I'll vote for Bing Ge. He's good at academics and handsome."

"Where's Brother Ma?"

"Let's vote for him as the sports committee member; I think he's a pretty good shooter."

Amidst the noise and commotion, the overall trend of the class became apparent.

The girls, who made up half of the class, were relatively unified. Since they had little ambition and Zhang Xinyu was popular, almost everyone voted for her as class monitor. As for the other positions, they either wrote down their friends' names or left them vacant.

The situation was completely different for the boys, with various factions vying for power, leading to three or four different approaches in the selection of the class monitor.

Some chose randomly, some chose based on proximity, and some chose Zhang Xinyu from the girls' side. Of course, the most people chose Ma Shaolong, but this was limited to his roommates and those around his seat.

Aside from class monitor, the choices for other positions are even more varied.

Gradually, the voting activity came to an end. After collecting the votes, Fang Anmin did not announce them in public. Judging from his expression, he obviously planned to study them on his own when he got back.

"Okay, have you all handed them in? Now that you've all handed them in, let's talk about the second thing, which is about the upcoming learning tasks."

Now that you're all in junior high, don't think of yourselves as elementary school students anymore. Learning is a process of accumulation; it requires time and effort. Regardless of your past, I believe everyone has the ability to make progress in their studies.

Although our school's overall strength is not among the top in the county, you must always remember that our class is the top class of Baishi No.1 Middle School, and it is a science and technology class. You must hold yourselves to even higher standards.

So don't think that junior high school is for playing around. Your goal should be to get good grades and lay a solid foundation for high school. You need to start working hard now.

"The school has already made arrangements. We'll hold a monthly exam in October, right after the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays. Class seating will be reorganized based on the results, and..." Fang Anmin paused, then glanced at his students, noticing their puzzled looks, and continued, "Anyone whose monthly exam score ranks outside the top 200 in the grade will be removed from this class. Similarly, those from other classes who rank in the top 70 will be promoted to our class or Class Two."

After he said that, the class erupted in a long and enthusiastic discussion and exclamations.

The newly enrolled junior high students were all marveling at how different junior high was from elementary school; a single monthly exam could determine class assignments. Chen Bing was slightly surprised to hear this, but not because of the class assignments themselves. Baishi No. 1 Middle School had done this in his previous life. However, back then, class assignments were based on four midterms and finals in the first semester of junior high, plus two finals in the second year.

In her previous life, the frequency of class reassignment was already quite insane, but what Chen Bing didn't expect was that, due to her rebirth, Baishi No. 1 Middle School in this life was so outrageous that it reassigned classes on the very first monthly exam.

While her classmates were discussing the class divisions after the monthly exam, Shang Yunmiao noticed something else that Fang Anmin had mentioned.

Let's change seats!

Excitedly, Shang Yunmiao clasped her hands gently under the table. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she secretly glanced at Chen Bing, only to find that the other person was looking at her.

Shamefully averting her gaze, Shang Yunmiao gradually realized something was wrong. Hmm? It seemed Chen Bing had been peeking at her first.

Putting this great discovery aside for the moment, Shang Yunmiao continued to ponder the matter of changing seats.

To be honest, I've been sitting next to Chen Bing since kindergarten, and even when we were apart, it never lasted more than a week. Now, since starting junior high, we've been separated by the classroom for a full nine days!

Good heavens, nine days! Do you know what that means? A full 216 hours, minutes, and seconds! Pregnancy is only thirty times that long.

In conclusion, Shang Yunmiao felt very unhappy.

On the first day of school, she was torn about whether to sit next to Chen Bing. On the way there, she thought it over and over, and finally decided to pretend she didn't know anything and casually let Chen Bing lead her to a seat.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Shang Yunmiao never imagined that Ma Lele would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and she wasn't alone; Cai Kunnan, whose name was quite unpleasant, was also with her.

And so, the two of them worked together to separate themselves from Chen Bing, forever parting ways and never hearing from each other again...

In short, since the die is cast and she really wants to sit next to Chen Bing, all she can do is try her best to salvage the situation, and the upcoming monthly exam seating arrangement presents a perfect opportunity.

With these thoughts in mind, Shang Yunmiao glanced at Chen Bing again, but this time, the other party didn't peek at her anymore.
