People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

They all need to spend a lot of time socializing and responding to their friends' "expectations".

Therefore, he doesn't have much free time.

In addition, they are also bound by a bond called friendship. When they help Bai Lan, they will also consider the social relationships involved and what impact it will have on how others perceive them.

Therefore, they sometimes find it difficult to help Bai Lan with her tasks.

Horikita, however, is different.

Horikita has no friends, doesn't need to socialize, and doesn't care about the opinions of anyone except his brother, nor does he need to consider anyone's "expectations".

Moreover, she usually has so much free time that she can study for more than ten hours a day.

In short, if Horikita Manabu is willing to help Shirai, Shirai will gain a "full-time part-time worker".

At that time, all Bai Lan needs to do is say "this matter is related to getting the class promoted to Class A" and Horikita will do his best to help her.

As for whether everything Bai Lan asked Horikita to do was truly related to "getting the class promoted to Class A"...

Then we'll have to see how Shi Bailan establishes a logical connection between what she wants to do and the matter of "advancing to Class A".

Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables

With this in mind, Bai Lan nodded and accepted Horikita as her intern.

After receiving Bai Lan's reply, Horikita's tense facial features seemed to soften for a moment.

"Thank you."

.......

Because tomorrow is a holiday and she has things to do tonight, Bai Lan didn't go to bed too early today.

5月3日，午夜，0点0分0秒到来的那一刻。

Bai Lan opened the transfer history page on her phone and quickly took a screenshot of the content.

At this point, the individuals willing to pay the fine have been identified.

In Class B of Grade 1, excluding Bai Lan herself, there were 15 students who violated the rules, and of these 15, only 14 paid fines to Bai Lan.

In other words, one person did not pay the fine.

By using the process of elimination, Bai Lan quickly learned the person's identity.

110. The bonus for poisoning

On the morning of May 3, the first thing Bai Lan did after waking up was to prepare to complete his task of "distributing the fines" that he had to do that day.

He had already arranged with his classmates that the bonuses would be distributed by May 3rd.

Bai Lan plans to use a certain percentage of the collected fines as bonuses and distribute them equally among the 24 people who did not commit any disciplinary violations last month.

This involved transferring money one by one, which Bai Lan found extremely troublesome. Therefore, he unhesitatingly handed the job over to Horikita Suzune, the part-time worker he had just taken on yesterday.

It wasn't that Bai Lan was lazy; the main reason was that he felt there would be significant benefits if he entrusted this matter to Horikita.

Bai Lan asked Horikita to be in charge of distributing the bonuses.

After Horikita used her own account to transfer the bonus to the class, the recipients would know through the transfer information that Horikita was the one who issued the points to them.

In this way, by "distributing bonuses on behalf of Shirai," Horikita further reinforced the perception among the class that "Shirai and Horikita have a good relationship," which helped strengthen Horikita's role as a shield.

In addition, Horikita can also use this opportunity to formally participate in the work of "leading the class", show her face in front of the whole class, and leave the impression that "Horikita is one of the class managers". In this way, Horikita's voice as class monitor can be enhanced.

Besides, Bai Lan was also able to save some effort.

Three birds with one stone!

In short, there are many benefits; Bai Lan is no longer the heartless boss who likes to exploit her employees.

Afterwards, Bai Lan transferred the fine, including her own, to Horikita, asking Horikita to distribute the points equally among all the students in the class who had not been penalized in the previous month.

Logically, Bai Lan should have set aside some operating funds, but due to the fact that these rules are not yet perfect, and other reasons, she decided to leave it at that this time.

At worst, once Bai Lan's rules are accepted by the class, he can simply collect a sum of class fees on the spot as operating funds.

Conversely, if the students in the class don't accept it, even with this operating capital, nothing can be operated.

After Bai Lan repeated his explanation to Horikita, Horikita immediately took on the job with great enthusiasm.

So next, all that's left is to wait for the Golden Week holiday to end and for school to start on the first day of the new semester, at which point his "reform" plan can move into the next phase.

It's important to understand that most students don't know how to save money; their basic attitude towards money is "live for today."

A high school student's normal monthly expenses are around 2 yen.

However, if they were given 15,000 yen for living expenses, they could actually live for a month, though they would be a little strapped for cash.

Even if you give them 3 yen, they can only spend it for a month, because they can't help but be "lavish" and spend any extra money beyond their necessary living expenses.

Despite Bai Lan's reminder, the students in Bai Lan's class became worried that their allowance would be very low next month after learning that their living expenses were linked to their class grades, and they started to save money.

But in reality, humans are not creatures that can "do" something simply by "understanding the principles".

It depends on self-control.

Many people are like this—I understand the道理 (principles/reasoning), I know it's not good, but I still can't help it.

Although everyone in Bai Lan's class knew that they should save money in order to save for their living expenses next month, which might be very low.

However, when faced with a large sum of money, only a minority of people can resist the urge to squander it and truly achieve the goal of "saving money."

At first, they might just be thinking, "Let's splurge just this once."

Then comes "occasionally is not excessive".

Then, the bottom line gradually loosened: "Anyway, 10 can last for at least four months of normal consumption. Even if I spend a month's living expenses, I still have three months left, so I'm not afraid."

Some of them even find that their money is gradually dwindling to the point where they may soon have to spend even the "minimum 20,000" for next month. Some can't help but think with a glimmer of hope: "If our class knows the rules in advance, even if things go badly, we should still be able to secure 20,000 for living expenses, right? In that case, wouldn't all the 20,000 I worked so hard to save this month be useless?"

Furthermore, similar thoughts will only intensify once the students in Bai Lan's class are certain that they will have over 60,000 yuan in living expenses every month "from now on".

As a result, many people will subconsciously increase their "normal consumption standard" from 20,000 to 60,000 or even more each month.

After all, there is such a thing as "overspending".

If you're short of money, you can borrow from someone else!

Anyway, I'll be earning over 60,000 points every month "from now on," so it's fine if I spend an extra 20,000 or 30,000 or even 40,000 or 50,000 this month. I can just be more frugal next month or the month after.

In fact, people like this won't save money even next month or the month after; they'll only borrow money from their more distant "future self" to maintain their ingrained, and increasingly uncontrollable, consumer desires...

By then, even if they realize the problem along the way, they won't be able to stop, because they've become accustomed to fine dining and expensive entertainment products and can no longer accept cheap bento boxes and mass-market entertainment from convenience stores.

Until they have squeezed their entire future dry.

Ah, we've gone off on a tangent.

Bai Lan had no interest in correcting the students' spending habits or improving their self-control; he simply wanted to take advantage of their "live for today" mentality.

Seven days.

This period is enough to encourage many of those who received the bonus to add that money to their "spend-all-months" plan for the month.

In addition, the upcoming Golden Week holiday...

They spend money so much even when they're not on holiday, and now that they're on holiday, the students with nothing to do will only spend even more, at least twice as much as usual!

Even people who are usually quite restrained with their spending can't help but spend more money when faced with the general atmosphere.

For example: During the holidays, if your friend invites you to a high-end amusement park for a spa treatment or something, would you go?

For example: Your friend bought a very expensive dessert and recommended that you try it too. Should you buy it as well?

If you don't have money, that's fine, but the problem is, you do have money...

Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables

Even if you can politely decline your friend's recommendation, saying that you have a toothache and can't eat desserts, and successfully save points, it's not foolproof!

If you have a friend who likes to overspend and they run out of credits and ask you for a loan, and you know that they will likely get 60,000 yuan in living expenses next month and the money will probably be returned, would you lend it to them?

With a monthly allowance of 60,000, they don't have to worry about being broke next month, so everyone's wallets are very loose.

Therefore, it's easy to imagine that there will definitely be quite a few "moonlight clan" members (people who spend all their money each month) in Bai Lan's class.

During this week, these "moonlight clan" members will spend most of their living expenses, leaving only enough to maintain a relatively decent life for the next two weeks, which should be around 2 yuan.

There will even be "light chasers" who overspend for the next month, and these people who live on borrowed money will not have many points. At the same time, the existence of "light chasers" will also reduce the points of some people who were not originally living paycheck to paycheck.

In this situation, if anyone opposes Bai Lan's plan, Bai Lan only needs to propose that "if the plan fails, the bonus and fine will be returned." In this way, those who have almost no points left will inevitably feel very distressed.

Why do you say this way?

It's important to know that the penalty rules Bai Lan initially mentioned were as follows:

For those who have accumulated no more than 20 demerit points, a fine of 2 yuan will be imposed on each person per month, with a duration of 6 months for every 10 demerit points.

扣分超过20分的，每人每月罚2万5，持续时间也是每10分罚6个月

However, 15 students in Bai Lan's class paid the fine!

That is to say, even if each person pays 2 per month, 15 people could provide 30 in fines.

However, since 6 out of these 15 people actually had more than 20 points deducted, these 6 people had to pay a fine of 25,000 yuan, while Bai Lan actually received a fine of 330,000 yuan.

A fine of 33 yuan.

35 was distributed to 24 people, 1.375 each!

In other words, those who only have around 20,000 points will have their living expenses cut in half if they choose to return the prize money, leaving them with only around 7,000 points!

However, at that time there were still 22 days left in the month!

7+ points, enough to last 22 days?

How could those guys in Bai Lan's class who were used to spending money lavishly possibly stand it?

Of course, they can choose to borrow points, but by then, how many people in the class will still have enough points to lend?

Even if there were, how many people could the small amount they lent out be enough to support?

Although they all knew that as long as they endured these twenty days, they would no longer be tormented by poverty once their living expenses came in next month.

The problem is, if they truly had that kind of self-control and patience, they wouldn't be left with so little money...

In order to ensure they don't suffer this month and continue to enjoy a comfortable life, a large portion of the 24 people who received the bonus will likely choose to continue supporting Bai Lan.
