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

Is it for the "collective good"?

Think more.

As mentioned before, this is Bai Lan's compensation to Class D.

This wasn't just compensation for Bai Lan scolding the others; it was also compensation for his serious violation of discipline, which resulted in the class losing points.

Bai Lan knew that her future disciplinary violations would lead to D class losing points, so she tried to find a way to help D class save its points in advance.

Others "kill to save lives".

Bai Lan's approach is "to protect points and deduct points".

Bai Lan felt that in order to drop out of school, he would have to commit frequent and serious disciplinary violations. In order to harm the interests of others for no reason, he planned to find a way to keep some of the points in Class D, and then deduct those points by committing disciplinary violations.

After adding and subtracting, there was even a slight surplus.

In this way, Bai Lan wouldn't feel she owed them anything.

According to Bai Lan's original plan, he was supposed to get into several fights in front of the surveillance cameras this month and then be expelled from school.

However, Bai Lan miscalculated. He failed to accumulate enough disciplinary points, which prevented him from successfully deducting the portion of his living expenses that he had managed to keep, allowing Class D to take advantage of him.

To put it modestly: of the more than 60,000 yuan in living expenses for Class D, at least 30,000 yuan was "saved" by Bai Lan!

The arrogant version of the story is: judging from the disciplinary situation of Class D at the end of the month, if Bai Lan hadn't found a way to help them secure their points, their living expenses for this month might have been wiped out! So, all that 60,000 yuan they received was actually from Bai Lan!

Bai Lan had no intention of getting involved in their argument and walked straight to her seat.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

At this point, people gradually began to notice Bai Lan's presence.

Soon someone shouted, "Bai is here! Our living expenses are only saved because of Bai. Without Bai, we wouldn't have been able to keep this 60,000. Let's hear what Bai has to say!"

The one speaking is Chi.

He was also a member of the "truancy and tardiness" group.

He stayed up all night playing games one day, which made it impossible for him to get up the next day. He slept in and ended up oversleeping and being late.

Although he was late, since ten minutes had already passed since the first class, if we follow the way some schools judge tardiness and absenteeism, where being more than ten minutes late is considered absenteeism, then Chi could even be considered absent.

In Chi's view, Bai Lan was the first person in the class to skip class and leave early. Although his truancy and lateness had "special significance", it was still truancy and leaving early.

If they demand that those who skip class, are late, or leave early compensate others, then wouldn't Bai Lan also...?

He felt that no one in the class would dare to offend Bai Lan, who was helping the class keep their living expenses.

Therefore, he planned to drag Bai Lan into this mess, and then use Bai Lan's reputation in the class to hide behind her and get away with it, thus securing his living expenses.

Bai Lan, who was almost at her seat, glanced instinctively in the direction of the voice upon hearing this and saw that it was Chi who was speaking.

Bai Lan easily saw through his thoughts.

A very subtle smile immediately appeared on Bai Lan's face.

good chance!

Bai Lan had made an agreement with Hirata that he would not intentionally or proactively do anything to "undermine the unity of Class C".

But Bai Lan is now clearly in a "passive" position.

so......

Bai Lan: "Finally, I've found an opportunity to lower the favorability rating!"

The hunting time begins!

Then, Bai Lan glanced at Hirata and said: He took the initiative, so I'm going to fight back!

When Hirata saw Bai Lan's smile resembling a famous trademark, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Hirata sensed that something bad was about to happen and wanted to stop it.

But for a moment he didn't know how to stop it.

We can't just go up and tear his mouth apart, can we?

Putting aside whether I can beat Bai Lan, suppress her, and successfully tear her mouth off, even if I could beat her, it doesn't seem like there's a rush.

Or, we could speak very loudly to drown out what Bai Lan was saying next?

While Hirata hesitated, Shirai had already responded.

Bai Lan: "I've also been late or left early, and I'd like to say a few words..."

Bai Lan had barely begun speaking when the "truancy and tardiness" group immediately cheered.

Meanwhile, the "feeling good" camp tensed up, and before Bai Lan could finish speaking, they all said:

"No, no, no! Bai, your truancy and lateness were for the sake of the class, to warn us, and were a necessary sacrifice you made!"

"Bai, you did the right thing, it's not a mistake! We don't need you to pay!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you should admit your mistakes and not drag others down with you! Bai Lan has done so much for the class, how can Chi be so shameless?"

......

The "skipping class and being late" camp also felt somewhat guilty.

Apart from a few stubborn individuals who were still defending Chi, saying, "We didn't drag Bai into this, I just want Bai to speak up for us," the others felt powerless to refute him. They could only look at Bai Lan pitifully, trying to evoke her compassion and get this "good person who is willing to give" to speak up for them, even if they still had to pay money to compensate others in the end, it would be better if they could pay less.

Bai Lan felt the bell was about to ring, and not wanting to waste time, he raised his voice and said, "Let me say a few words."

As soon as Bai Lan spoke, the chaotic noise from the crowd quickly subsided.

Bai Lan continued, "I think it is absolutely necessary to reward merit and punish wrongdoing."

Upon hearing this, the "feeling good" camp was overjoyed, while the "skipping class and being late" camp trembled with anxiety for their wallets.

I'm not the one who can save you.

However, they were overthinking it. Although Bai Lan planned to retaliate against the pool that tried to drag him down and incidentally "slash" other members of his own camp, he didn't have much affection for the "Feel Good" camp either.

If Bai Lan's memory is accurate, he remembers that many people in the "feeling good" camp were indeed just "feeling good about themselves." Although they were not late or absent from class, Bai Lan had discovered their other disciplinary violations on several occasions. As for those that An Xie had not discovered, there were probably even more.

The points deducted for those violations are probably no less than the points deducted for skipping class or being late.

Since we've already eliminated the entire "truancy and tardiness" group, let's also eliminate the "feeling good" group, and even the entire class.

What we want is fairness!

With this in mind, Bai Lan continued, "Actually, the fact that living expenses were cut to over 60,000 yuan can't be entirely blamed on being late, leaving early, or skipping classes."

Upon hearing this, the "truant and late" camp breathed a sigh of relief, while the "feeling good" camp turned pale, feeling like their sure thing was about to slip away.

“But then again,” Bai Lan suddenly changed the subject.

Everyone on all sides tensed up.

Bai Lan continued, "Even though leaving early or skipping class results in more points deductions, I only looked at the penalties for skipping class, being late, and leaving early. I didn't tell you that other disciplinary violations would result in fewer points deductions than those three."

Even if there are some violations, they don't result in as many points deducted as these three.

But as the saying goes, little by little, you make a lot.

Many people, although they are not late or leave early, often commit other violations, and they may not necessarily have fewer points deducted.

Some people may be late or skip class, but it's just by accident. In fact, they usually discipline themselves well, so they may not lose many points.

"Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the person with fewer demerit points had to pay compensation to the person with more?"

After Bai Lan finished speaking.

Those who initially joined the "feel-good" camp, thinking of making a quick buck, instantly changed their tune.

One student couldn't hold back and immediately betrayed the group, speaking up as a "fair-minded" person: "We're classmates, so let's not be too serious about it."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. But once he said that, everyone knew that the person was guilty and that he must have committed many violations of discipline in private.

But it's only "quite a few," not "a lot," which is uncertain.

After all, "more" and "less" are relative.

Without knowing the extent of others' misconduct and without being able to make comparisons, no one knows whether they are "more" or "less" in terms of their own conduct.

It wasn't just the person who spoke who felt guilty. Apart from a very few who were genuinely confident in their performance last month, everyone else who knew their own character felt guilty at this moment.

On the contrary, some people in the "truancy and tardiness" camp suddenly became more confident.

One of the boys gritted his teeth, then raised his hand and said, "Not long after the start of the semester, I forgot to charge my phone one time, and it died. My alarm didn't go off in the morning, so I was late. Because I felt guilty, I was very careful every day after that and never dared to break the rules. I don't think I've broken any rules since then."

After the boy finished speaking, the others also went all out.

"Investigate! Even if it means paying money, I absolutely refuse to hand it over to someone who has more demerit points than me! Why should someone worse than me take my money!"

"Investigate! I want to die knowing why!"

"check!"

"check!"

......

For a time, in the "truancy and tardiness" camp, apart from those who had other disciplinary violations in addition to truancy and tardiness, everyone else shouted the slogan "Investigate, investigate, investigate!"

Seeing this, Bai Lan made the final decision, saying, "Alright, then we'll ask Teacher Chazhu for the detailed deduction information from last month in a bit."

Some people who felt they had lost too many points tried to try again.

But at this moment.

Ring ring ring~

It's time for the morning meeting.

Everyone quickly returned to their seats.

The person who originally wanted to talk was worried that if they continued talking, they would be penalized for "talking in class" and then lose more money, so they hurried back.

Soon after the bell rang, a pair of long, black legs in high heels strode in, staring at a tea stand.

Bai Lan noticed that the tea pillars were a bit "jumpy" today, with a subtle sense of movement when they walked.

Although the tea stalks were trying to suppress it, it was no use; they couldn't suppress it at all.
