Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

"The two types of people I'm referring to aren't distinguished like that!" Gao Qiang explained with great patience, "I believe Lin has already spent a few days at school and is quite clear about what the situation is like here. Let's not talk about other expenses for now; just the food expenses alone are a real headache!"

Hearing this, Lin Ruofei couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"There are only two kinds of people who want to gain a foothold in Yucai School..." Gao Qiang saw that Lin Ruofei was listening to him seriously, and he began to feel secretly pleased.

"What are the two types of people exactly?" Lin Ruofei couldn't help but ask curiously.

“One type is the academic genius,” Gao Qiang added immediately, “the kind of person who faints in front of the school’s ranking list in the morning. These people can always get first place in the school’s comprehensive assessment and can live a worry-free life with the school’s ‘tens of thousands’ of scholarships.”

Lin Ruofei waved her hand and said, "I can't do this!"

“I know,” Gao Qiang nodded and said, “Zheng Dayu told me your exam ranking; you were second to last in the entire grade.”

"I say, it's best to keep these things to ourselves," Lin Ruofei said, rather displeased. "Can we just not talk about it?"

"You don't need to be embarrassed. In fact, there are very few people in the whole school who can become the first type of person. Since you already know that you have no hope of becoming the first type of person, then you should try to become the second type of person..." the strong man Gao Qiang said mysteriously.

"This second type of person..." Lin Ruofei scratched her head, puzzled, and asked, "What type of person is it?"

“Of course… rich… people!” Gao Qiang emphasized, enunciating each word clearly.

"That's nonsense!" Lin Ruofei said angrily, "I knew that rich people don't have to worry about food and drink at school, but the problem is, your family has to be rich to give you that!"

"We don't need to rely on our families, we can manage on our own!" Gao Qiang said hurriedly.

"Does the school offer part-time jobs?" Lin Ruofei asked excitedly.

It's worth noting that doing odd jobs is Lin Ruofei's forte. At her peak during her school years, Lin Ruofei could hold three different part-time jobs in a single day.

"Hmm..." Gao Qiang shook his head and said, "The school doesn't provide work-study opportunities!"

"Then how do you make money?" Lin Ruofei asked, puzzled. "Do you mean to collect and sell scraps?"

"You're kidding me!" Gao Qiang curled his lip and said, "That white-haired old man Zhang who cleans the streets is faster than anyone else; he'll buy up anything that can be sold for money the moment he sees it!"

“I think so too,” Lin Ruofei said, recalling an elderly man with gray hair she often saw wandering around the school with a large bag on his back. She nodded in agreement. “He really is the fastest handyman at Yucai School!”

"Actually, the money-making opportunity I was talking about is... the school's anniversary season!" Gao Qiang said excitedly.

"School...Anniversary...Season?" Lin Ruofei blinked, asking in confusion, "What's that?"

"You mean you want to ask about the 'School Anniversary Season,' right?" Future reporter Zheng Dayu interjected. "Our Yucai School's founding day is September 26th, so every September is designated as our Yucai School's 'School Anniversary Season.' Throughout September, the school organizes all sorts of anniversary activities, and the winner of each activity will receive a huge prize from the school..."

"If we're careful with our money, we can survive at school until September next year!" Gao Qiang hurriedly added.

"So what kind of celebrations will the school organize during the 'anniversary season'?" Lin Ruofei, true to her gossipy nature, couldn't help but ask.

"There are so many activities!" Gao Qiang excitedly introduced, "First of all, the qualifying rounds for various events in the school sports meet are coming up soon. The prize money for the champion of each individual event in each qualifying round is one hundred yuan. These include events such as football, basketball, track and field, and so on, which are all events that will be included in the sports meet..."

"Wait a minute..." Lin Ruofei couldn't help but interrupt the spittle-spitting introduction by the strongman Gao Qiang, and asked in confusion, "What does it mean that 'the prize money for the individual champion in the selection competition is one hundred yuan'?"

"To put it simply..." Future reporter Zheng Dayu quickly explained, "As long as you win first place in any selection competition, you'll receive a prize of one hundred yuan!"

"On the day the sports meet officially begins, anyone who wins first place in any event's final will receive a prize of 10,000 yuan!" Gao Qiang emphasized loudly.

Lin Ruofei finally understood and asked, "Do you mean... if we want to make money, we should participate in the school's 'anniversary celebration' activities?"

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

Gao Qiang and Zheng Dayu nodded in unison.

“If you want to participate, then go ahead,” Lin Ruofei said, standing up. “Why are you telling me so much? I’m not planning on making money during the ‘school anniversary season’…”

After saying that, Lin Ruofei turned to leave.

"Lin, don't rush off!" Gao Qiang grabbed Lin Ruofei's arm, and together with Zheng Dayu, they forcibly pushed Lin Ruofei back onto the plastic seat.

“We know your family is well-off and you don’t lack money…” Gao Qiang earnestly advised, “But right now, your ‘boyfriend’ has swindled all the money out of your bank account! You don’t need to deny it; we saw everything that happened at the school gate just now…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruofei hurriedly interrupted Gao Qiang, "Wait a minute, I need to clarify two things: First, the money in my bank card wasn't stolen, it wasn't swindled; second, that man wasn't my 'boyfriend,' but my..."

"Alright, alright! You don't need to explain this," Zheng Dayu hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, "In our Yucai School, you can do whatever you want, and no one will make a fuss about it!"

"You have to believe me, I really don't like men... Ah! No, although I sometimes like men... Ah! I can't say that... But he's really not my boyfriend..." Lin Ruofei explained in a flustered and incoherent manner.

"Alright, alright!" Gao Qiang put his arm around Lin Ruofei's shoulder and said understandingly, "You really don't need to worry about this. Besides, the purpose of our conversation isn't to pry into your private life. We mainly want you to join our club!"

"Clubs? Which clubs?" Lin Ruofei asked immediately.
