Shen Yue moved a little closer, her faint perfume wafting through the air. She smiled and said, "Why can't you?"

"Your sense of style and unique eye are exactly what we need."

"And with me, we'll definitely have a lot of fun completing this task."

The boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then."

Shen Yue pressed on, then looked at a bespectacled, seemingly refined-looking boy next to her.

Shen Yue blinked and said, "This classmate, you look very smart and quick-witted."

“When designing the flower bed renovation, we need someone with a good mind like you to come up with ideas.”

"Would you like to join us?"

The bespectacled boy pushed up his glasses and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm afraid I won't be of much help."

Shen Yue pouted slightly and said coquettishly, "Don't say that. Just giving us suggestions is already a great help."

"Moreover, there are many interesting people in our group, and we will have a lot of fun together."

After being coaxed and pleaded with by Shen Yue, the bespectacled boy finally agreed.

When the teacher started distributing the tools, Shen Yue saw the several useful new shovels that Chen Dong's group had ordered, and suddenly her eyes lit up with a plan.

Shen Yue rushed forward and snatched the new shovels for herself, leaving only a few rusty shovels for Chen Dong's group.

Then, looking smugly at Chen Dong's group, he said provocatively, "Hmph, let's see how you win this competition without these brand-new and useful tools."

Although the members of Chen Dong's group were somewhat angry when they saw this, they were not discouraged.

Chen Dong frowned, then said firmly to everyone, "It's okay, it's just a few small shovels. We can manage with our own hands even without shovels."

"At worst, we'll just put in a little more effort. I refuse to believe we'll be any worse than them."

"Not to mention that although it's rusty, it's still usable."

Chu Mengran smiled and nodded, "Yes, maybe this can inspire us to have more ideas."

"Let's start by clearing the debris from the flower bed."

As she spoke, she picked up an old broom and began to carefully sweep the fallen leaves and trash in the flower bed.

After a while, Chu Mengran saw that Chen Dong was still busy and said with some concern, "Chen Dong, be careful and don't overwork yourself."

"Guo Miao, do you think this area could be cleaned up a bit more?"

Guo Miao: "???"

With an emo expression on his face, Guo Miao replied helplessly, "Meng Ran, please stop telling me what to do. I'm trying my best."

Yu Qin squatted down and carefully observed the soil in the flower bed. Then she said, "Everyone, don't rush. I think the soil in this flower bed is quite hard. It might not be easy to dig it with just a shovel."

"We need to think of a way to loosen the soil first."

Chen Dong stopped what he was doing and asked, "So, do you have any ideas?"

After thinking for a moment, Yu Qin replied, "I think we can find some branches or discarded sticks, sharpen them, and use them to loosen the soil. It will be a little slower, but it will definitely work."

Guo Miao slapped his forehead: "Hey, that's a great idea! I'll go find some branches right now."

A short while later, Guo Miao ran back carrying a pile of tree branches.

Chen Dong took the branch and began to poke it into the soil with all his might, saying as he did so, "This method is really good. Although it's a bit tiring, it can loosen the soil."

Seeing how hard they were working, Chu Mengran felt a little guilty.

Chu Mengran turned to a classmate passing by and said, "Excuse me, could you please get us a bucket of water?"

"We want to moisten the soil so it will be easier to clean."

Seeing that Chu Mengran was so nice, and since she was a girl, the classmate readily agreed.

After receiving the water, Chu Mengran carefully poured it onto the freshly loosened soil, making the soil moist.

At this moment, Guo Miao noticed another problem and said, "There are many stones in this flower bed. Picking them up and throwing them away by hand is too inefficient and tiring."

Chen Dong looked around and saw some discarded iron dustpans nearby. He had a sudden inspiration: "We can use the iron dustpans to shovel up the stones. It's much faster than using our hands."

So everyone started using metal dustpans to clean up the stones again.

Although it might feel heavy to carry stones in this thing, they worked together without complaining.

Although Shen Yue's group managed to snag some good tools, the situation was not optimistic.

Due to Shen Yue's poor command, conflicts frequently arose among the team members.

One of the students accidentally damaged a seedling while digging in the soil because he was nervous.

Shen Yue immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "What's wrong with you? How can you be so clumsy? You can't even do this little thing right?"

"This is a competition, are you deliberately trying to make our group lose?"

The student wearing glasses, after being scolded by Shen Yue, felt so wronged that his eyes welled up with tears.

Wang Xia and Yu Juan also helped Shen Yue boost her morale. Wang Xia said, "That's right, how could you be so careless?"

Yu Juan chimed in, "This is a matter of honor for our group."

Seeing this, the other students felt dissatisfied with Shen Yue and whispered among themselves, "Why is she like this? It's just that she dug up a flower seedling, is it really necessary to get so angry?"

"Exactly, she does nothing herself, she just stands there pointing fingers."

At this moment, Hu Yanghui couldn't help but whisper to Shen Yue, "Shen Yue, don't be angry. This classmate didn't mean it."

"Let's hurry up and get back to work, or we'll run out of time."

Shen Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you know? If we don't teach him a lesson, who knows how much trouble he'll cause in the future."

The bespectacled student who was scolded mustered up his courage and said, "Shen Yue, I really didn't mean it. I was very careful. It's so unfair of you to scold me like this without even knowing the facts."

Shen Yue crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "Hmph, I think you just weren't putting your heart into it."

Seeing this, the other team members became even less motivated and stood there listlessly.

One of the boys from Class 8 muttered under his breath, "If I had known that this school beauty goddess was like this, I wouldn't have come to this group."

"It would be better to go with my classmates."

Another boy chimed in, "That's right, she has such a terrible temper, she doesn't take us seriously at all."

Meanwhile, Chu Mengran's team worked together, and despite the poor tools, progress was very smooth.

They chatted happily as they worked, their laughter echoing around the flowerbeds.
