Chapter 483: Why Don’t You Go Rob a Bank?

Chu Luo left after saying this.

Daddy Wang thought that Chu Luo was joking with him.

Then, Chu Luo let everyone experience the ‘joy’ of real labor.

In the beginning, everyone was very enthusiastic. An hour later, many people couldn’t stand it anymore.

The girls had either pricked their hands or cut the flower stalk short or accidentally removed the flower petals.

At this moment, Chu Luo would appear in front of the girl with a notebook in her hand and say, “You have damaged seven roses. That’s a fine of seven hundred yuan.”

Yemir widened her eyes in disbelief. “Chu, how can you fine me the price for seven flowers? Didn’t you say at the start that you would only fine us if more than five flowers were damaged? Moreover… the market price for one rose is only thirty to forty yuan. Why are you charging a hundred here?!”

Chu Luo smiled at her and said matter-of-factly, “I did say that I would only fine those who damage more than five flowers, but I didn’t say that it doesn’t include these five… As for the price of one hundred yuan per flower, you said that it’s the market price. This is a private flower field. Since I organized you guys to come here, I’ll naturally decide how much to fine.”

“You… you… why don’t you go rob a bank?”

“Robbery is against the law. Why should I commit robbery? As long as you give me a chance to fine, there will be money for the hotpot tonight. Good luck ~”

Yemir almost fainted from anger.

She looked at Chu Luo’s departing back and roared from behind her, “Chu Luo, I definitely won’t give you a chance to continue punishing me!”

‘You want me to fork out the money to treat everyone hotpot? Dream on!’

Chu Luo stopped and scanned the group of people nearby who were eavesdropping with their ears extended. She deliberately raised her voice and said, “Everyone must cut 500 roses today. If one is missing, we will stay here and not leave until the last person finishes cutting it.”

The workers here could cut about 150 flowers in an hour. Chu Luo thought that this group of people had never done such work before, so she decided that they would cut around 70 flowers in an hour.

“Of course. There are a total of 24 of you. Other than eating and resting for an hour at noon, there are a total of 12,000 roses to be cut. The faster ones can also help the slower ones. Also… if we exceed the quantity today, I’ll send that person an entire set of Phoenix Corporation’s cosmetics products.”

Initially, when they heard the first few words, a group of people was so angry that they wanted to stop and argue with Chu Luo. After hearing the last sentence, everyone became energetic.

If it were two to three months ago, no one would have known how powerful the cosmetics products of this brand were.

Ever since a month ago, all the women of the upper-class society in America had started praising Phoenix cosmetics in public. Moreover, everyone could tell that their skin condition was especially good with the naked eye. Their products instantly became popular throughout Asia, North America, and Europe.

Half a month ago, all those who had used Phoenix cosmetics bragged about its effects.

Just as many people wanted to buy a set, they realized that even if you had money, you might not be able to buy it!

Among this group of girls, only one or two of them had bought cosmetics from that brand, and they hadn’t even bought an entire set!

At the thought of this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

Someone forced herself to calm down and asked, “Chu Luo, by exceeding, what quantity are you talking about?”

If everyone tried their best to exceed the amount and she deliberately said a number that no one had reached, they would have worked hard in vain.

Chu Luo tapped her pen on her notebook and said lightly, “If any of you can cut 1,000 flowers in one day…”

“Oh… Chu Luo, you must be doing this on purpose. That’s more than a hundred flowers in an hour. This is definitely impossible!”

Chu Luo shrugged and said indifferently, “Then don’t exceed the quantity.”

With that, she walked towards the boys.

The girls gritted their teeth in hatred as they watched Chu Luo leave, but they couldn’t withstand the temptation of cosmetics.

A girl found an excuse. “I asked around. The professionals here who specialize in cutting roses cut at least 180 to 200 roses in an hour. Chu Luo only asked us to cut more than 140 roses before we have an entire set of Phoenix Corporation’s cosmetics products. This is like a pie falling from the sky. We’d be fools not to pick it up.”

Another person chimed in, “That’s right. It’s just 130 roses in an hour. As someone from the T University Student Union, nothing can stump me.”

The others voiced their agreement.

Then, as if they had suddenly been energized, everyone instantly sped up.

The flower farmers who were cutting flowers at the side were speechless.

There were a few houses built beside the large shed, and the fresh flowers were inside.

When Chu Luo entered, the group of boys was working enthusiastically under Nangong Yi’s lead.

The boys quickly found out what happened to the girls.

When Chu Luo walked in, a foreign boy asked loudly, “Chu Luo, if the girls exceed a certain quantity, there will be a reward for them. What about us boys?”

“That’s right. You can’t forget us boys and just reward the girls. Otherwise, none of the boys will be enthusiastic.”

Most of the boys chimed in.

Chu Luo glanced at the packaging and asked, “You want the Phoenix Corporation’s cosmetics too?”

Only a few boys replied, “Yes. It’s not a bad idea to give it to my girlfriend or mother.”

The other boys quickly shook their heads.

At this moment, Nangong Yi suggested, “Chu Luo has a good relationship with the four boys from Phoenix Skies Legend in the game. Why don’t Chu Luo help everyone get a signed poster of the entire Phoenix Skies Legend team?”

“Really!”

A silver-haired boy jumped up in excitement. “Chu Luo, can you really get their signed posters?”

The other boys also looked excited.

Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at Nangong Yi.

Nangong Yi smiled at her with innocence in his eyes.

Chu Luo lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying, “Sure.”

“Yay!”

All the boys jumped up in excitement.

The corners of Chu Luo’s lips suddenly curled up into a meaningful smile. She looked at everyone and said, “I heard that your packaging is very wasteful of roses. Since I’ve agreed to such good conditions, you must do your job well.”

As she spoke, she handed the extra notebook to Nangong Yi. “Your mission is to record how many flowers everyone damaged.”

After saying that, she looked at everyone. “I think you guys know the punishment given to the girls. It’s the same for you guys.”

Nangong Yi took the notebook. He had a pen on him at all times, so Chu Luo didn’t have to give it to him.

Chu Luo instructed him, “Senior, as the supervisor, if there is too much damage on your side, you’ll be responsible… How about this? If too much damage is done by the boys, you’ll pay for the hotpot tonight.”

Nangong Yi: “…”

He suspected that Chu Luo was deliberately taking revenge for his earlier suggestion.

But he had no evidence.

Chu Luo suddenly looked at Hank.

Everyone subconsciously looked over.

Chu Luo said, “As the person who made the bet with me, besides completing these missions, Hank also has to cut 500 flowers. No one can help you… Is that okay?”

“How is that possible!” Hank, who was originally very excited, changed his expression. “Chu Luo, you must be doing it on purpose!”

“You’re right. I did it on purpose. If you’re willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. Don’t you think that this is only a small punishment for losing to me?”

“I…”

“I don’t believe that your punishment would make me happy if I had lost to you.”

After saying this, Chu Luo stopped looking at Hank, who was clenching his fists and holding back. She said to the students at Imperial University, “As my alumni, you know what to do, right?”

“Got it. Chu Luo, don’t worry. We’ll definitely supervise Hank well.”

Chu Luo nodded in satisfaction and left.

Everyone looked at Hank sympathetically.

Hank’s expression turned even uglier.

At this moment, Nangong Yi suggested with a smile, “Hank, if you can’t finish it, you can give up your signed poster.”

Hank took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “I won’t give up.”

“Good luck then.”

…

After Chu Luo went out, she didn’t go to the girls’ side. Instead, she found Daddy Wang, who was cutting some flowers in another large shed.

Chu Luo put away her notebook and asked, “Uncle Wang, what do you need me to do?”

Daddy Wang waved his hand. “Just stand at the side and watch. You’re still young. We can do these chores.”

Chu Luo replied, “I’m not young.”

Daddy Wang didn’t care. “If you have nothing to do, you can go and cut a few flowers that you like and bring them back.”

Chu Luo: “…”

Chu Luo thought for a while and stood at the side to watch them cut the flowers. As she looked, she asked, “Other than ordering those roses, what other flowers did the Shang family order?”

“They also ordered butterfly orchids, tulips, lilies, and carnations.”

Chu Luo nodded and continued to ask, “After these flowers are cut today, what method are you using to keep them fresh until tomorrow?”

“Using nutritional fluid.”

“When can they finish cutting all these flowers today?”
