Zhao Xiaoshuang didn't understand Zhou Mo's intention for a moment and argued, "If you refund them, aren't you also contributing money and effort? They didn't do anything, and they just ate for free?"
Zhou Mo: "Just wait and see."
She walked to the pile of balloons and inflated them quickly.
The two of them took an hour to complete the work that they had originally planned to finish in two hours.
After setting up the banquet hall, Zhou Mo called Shen Qingyi and said that the rental time here was limited and if he started too late, the cost would increase.
Shen Qingyi said he would come right over.
Zhou Mo sent a message directly to the student group, telling them that the birthday party would start an hour earlier.
Zhang Lanlan complained in the group: "What's going on? I haven't finished cleaning yet."
Ding Ning said: I haven’t packed my things yet.
Tang Jiahui said: Senior sister, can’t you come later?
Zhou Mo: No, Director Shen will be here soon.
Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at the flurry of activity in the group and exclaimed, "What a joy!"
"Wait a minute," Zhou Mo divided the cash into four parts and placed them side by side on the table.
She pulled a stool and sat in the seat closest to the door, facing the door.
Zhao Xiaoshuang sat behind Zhou Mo and tactfully poured Zhou Mo a cup of tea.
Putting down the teapot, she asked, “If they arrive later than Director Shen, can you still return the money… to them?”
Zhou Mo sneered: "They dare to come later than Director Shen? Don't want to mess around?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang nodded: "That's true."
Zhou Mo: "You sent a message in the group saying that Director Shen will be here in twenty minutes."
Zhao Xiaoshuang was happy to do this. She opened her phone, edited the message, and sent it out.
The group exploded again.
Fifteen minutes later, Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui arrived first, both panting.
Chi Zhouxu was holding flowers for Shen Qingyi, and Tang Jiahui was carrying a handbag, which should be a gift for Shen Qingyi.
"Senior Sister," Chi Zhouxu walked in and saw Zhou Mo standing at the door, and hurriedly greeted her.
Zhou Mo's face was serious. "Put your things down and come over here." His voice was also extremely harsh.
Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui looked at each other, hurriedly put their things into the private room, and returned to Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo glanced at the money on the table. "Your money, each of you has one share. Take yours."
Chi Zhouxu didn't understand, "Senior Sister, what is this... money?"
"The money for the birthday party will be shared equally," Zhou Mo said.
The two of them had no idea what Zhou Mo meant. Just as they were about to say something, Ding Ning came upstairs, also panting, carrying large and small bags.
"Senior Sister," Ding Ning greeted Zhou Mo.
"It's just right, Xiao Ding is here too," Zhou Mo said, "Come here, the three of you, take your money."
Ding Ning quickly put down what he was holding, walked forward, and looked at the money on the table that was divided into four parts. He stood there stupidly, completely confused.
Chi Zhouxu reminded him, "Senior Sister said we should split the cost of the birthday party."
Ding Ning said, "Senior Sister, didn't we agree to split the bill? How can we get this money back? I can't let you pay for the birthday party without it, right?"
Zhou Mo raised his eyes and swept his cold gaze over the three of them, "Don't you just want me to pay for it?"
"How could that be?" Chi Zhouxu said.
Zhou Mo sneered, "You left the money and then disappeared, leaving all the remaining work to me alone. I'm the eldest sister, so I deserve to do these things?"
The three of them had never seen Zhou Mo angry with them, and for a moment they couldn't even believe that the person in front of them was Zhou Mo.
Tang Jiahui said aggrievedly, "Senior Sister, you wanted to help, but you didn't tell us."
"Are you a bug-picker?" Zhou Mo retorted coldly. This was the first time she spoke harshly to Tang Jiahui.
She asked the three people again, "When Senior Brother Suo held his birthday party last year, you two were quite active, right? You even accompanied Senior Brother Suo to buy a cake? How come you didn't know that Director Shen would have a cake for his birthday this year?"
"I..." Tang Jiahui wanted to explain, but didn't know how to start.
"No need to explain, I know what you and Xiaochi are thinking," Zhou Mo said, "Aren't you just thinking that since you're about to graduate and this is your last birthday with Director Shen, you should buy him something nice to please him. As for the exhausting task of preparing a birthday party, it doesn't really have much to do with you, right?"
Her little thoughts were exposed, and Tang Jiahui lowered her head and remained silent.
Chi Zhouxu suddenly stood up and said, "Senior Sister, I was indeed not thoughtful enough in this matter. If you want to criticize someone, then criticize me."
"Do you think I don't want to talk about you?" Zhou Mo asked back.
Chi Zhouxu was stunned for a moment. He never thought that he would be confronted by Zhou Mo.
“Senior Sister…”
"Xiao Chi, you're the most sensible among the masters. Why did you act so 'inconsiderately' before graduation and force me to have an unpleasant experience with you? Or did you do this on purpose? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Of course not," Chi Zhouxu suddenly panicked.
"Then why, when Senior Brother Suo was here, you were so sensible, but now that he's gone and Director Shen's eldest disciple has been replaced by me, you're not sensible anymore?"
"No, Senior Sister, I absolutely don't have such an idea."
"So what do you think?"
"I..." Chi Zhouxu couldn't say anything for a moment.
Zhou Mo didn't bother to listen to their explanation. "This matter is easy to resolve. Whoever pays on the table takes it. As for today's birthday party, I'll pay for it myself. Xiaoshuang and I have already decorated the venue and ordered the cake. Everything is ready. Just pay a little money and all the work will be 'shared'. How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
None of the three dared to move.
Zhou Mo grabbed the money and stuffed it into their hands one by one.
They didn't want it and wanted to return it to Zhou Mo. They apologized repeatedly, saying that they knew they were wrong and would be more careful in the future.
Zhou Mo: "I don't accept it. Take the money yourself. This is also a lesson for you. If you have to share a thing, then you should share it in all aspects, from money to labor. Instead of just sharing the money, this matter has nothing to do with you."
She glanced at Ding Ning and said, "Especially you, Xiao Ding. You still have two years before graduation. You should be more careful when doing things."
The reason why Ding Ning was mentioned alone is, first, Zhou Mo killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, and second, Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui are about to graduate. No matter how much I say, it’s over. Anyway, they are about to graduate, and it won’t look good if they just give up and completely break up.
The three of them learned their lesson and apologized to Zhou Mo together.
"Yeah," Zhou Mo responded simply, and the matter ended there.
"Where is Zhang Lanlan?" Zhou Mo asked.
Ding Ning said: "I don't know, she hasn't been in the dormitory recently."
"I understand." Zhou Mo glanced at the time. Shen Qingyi would be here soon. She collected Zhang Lanlan's share of the money on the table and transferred it directly to Zhang Lanlan.
Zhang Lanlan replied quickly: Senior sister, what’s this?
Zhou Mo didn't explain: The teacher is almost here.
Zhang Lanlan: I'll be there right away.
They said they would come soon, but Shen Qingyi arrived and Zhang Lanlan didn't.
Shen Qingyi said: "Wait for Lanlan, didn't she say right away?"
Zhou Mo: "It's the same if we serve the food first. The food won't get cold for a while."
Shen Qingyi was slightly stunned.
There was something wrong with Zhou Mo today.
She is very obedient and rarely goes against her will. ?
