At the end of the day, Nicole had all the forms distributed, and everyone had signed up. When Nicole
delivered the report to the student union, Stanley and Edwin, and the others were working on things.
They were a little surprised to see that Nicole had gotten everyone signed up.
Stanley was also surprised. “Your class signed up so fast?”
The entire Royal Creek Institute, whether it was the high school or the college department, hated sports
events. Everyone did not want to take part, and they would push the decision to the last day if they
could.
“Yes.” Nicole nodded and then asked, “Don’t your classmates want to take part?”
Stanley was helpless at the mention of this. “Yeah, they’re enthusiastic about everything except for
sports day every year.”
Edwin could not help but interject. “Our class is the same. They all are uncooperative. Most of them do
not want to take part. Only Harvey and his classmates will take part because he is Mr. Ellison’s
grandson. But the other classes are in a similar situation to us.” ;
Nicole had a plan in mind upon hearing that.
Edwin could not wait and asked, “Nicole, how on earth did you get them to sign up for the sports day so
quickly? This is a record since the inception of the Royal Creek Institute.”
Nicole glanced at him and said calmly, “I told them that this year’s sports day differs from previous
years. Apart from the usual prizes, the student union will come up with a reward scheme.”
“A reward scheme?” Edwin looked at Stanley with surprise. “Did you approve it?”
Stanley is the president of the student union. He was probably the only one who could decide. But they
wondered why he did not tell them there was such a good scheme.
Stanley was also baffled. “No, I haven’t heard of a reward scheme at all.”
Edwin was stunned when the president did not even know. “Nicole, did you make a mistake or
something?
Nicole shook her head. “No, the idea just came to me on a whim. I was thinking of discussing it with
you while sending over the registration forms. Since all classes are reluctant to sign up for the sports
day, why not propose a reward scheme to motivate them?”
Only then did it dawn on Stanley and Edwin; Nicole had heard it correctly and was planning to act first
and seek permission later.
Edwin could not help but feel a little helpless. “We wish we could, but the student union has limited
funding, and the Royal Creek Institute’s reward program is of a very high standard every year.” In other
words, the student union could not come up with that much money,
Nicole thought about it for a moment. It would be easy to deal with once the problem was understood.
Stanley thought Nicole had run out of choice and was worried about her. “It’s okay, Nicole. Let’s
proceed with that. We will pay for the rewards out of our own pockets.”
Nicole shook her head. “Since this is a school affair, how can we pay for it ourselves?”
Stanley was stunned. “Then what else can we do?”
Nicole then smiled shrewdly and whispered a few words into Stanley’s ear.
Before long, Stanley’s gloomy expression turned bright, “This is a great idea.”
Looking at Stanley’s surprised expression, Edwin could not help but get anxious, knowing that they had
got a good plan. “What is it? Tell me.”
