263 The Temptation of Money
Chu Ning recognized him. He was the father who had used his body to protect his son after the disaster.
“Sir, thank you for your understanding.” Chu Ning thought to herself as she slowly bowed in the direction the middle-aged man had left in.
Many people were very tempted by the price Chu Ning offered.
However, that father had used his actions to show that money was important, but there was something that should be more important.
That was the character.
As a father, a husband, and a citizen, he had his own character and principles. He understood Chu Ning’s difficulties and made a concession.
Other than working hard to contribute his own efforts to society, he could also do his best to give his family a better life. However, he could not accept Chu Ning’s money.
The middle-aged man’s actions seemed to have served as a good example, and several people left the place one after another following that.
The young man who had been silent and allowed his girlfriend to scold him in public without saying a word even directly dragged his girlfriend away from this place by force.
Not many people chose to leave. Chu Ning roughly counted and found that there were about 100 people left.
“Hello? Is it true that you’ll give us 2000 dollars if we wait for an hour?” One of the remaining parkgoers looked at Chu Ning and asked tentatively.
“Do my two children and I count?”
“Are you kidding me? You’re going to pay 2000 dollars to everyone here?”
“It’s not like I’ve never seen money before. Do you have to?”
…
Hearing the parkgoers’ discussion, Chu Ning spoke again, “Everyone here, including the children, only have to wait for an hour, or it’s fine if you take the money and leave. I’m a person of my word.”
After saying that, Chu Ning took out her phone and verified with the person closest to her before she transferred the money.
This action stunned the high-altitude attraction staff who were at the side. They even wanted to go up and claim one… 2000 dollars was their salary for nearly ten days!
Immediately after that, a series of notifications of 2000 dollars being transferred to the accounts rang out continuously from the queuing window.
Chu Ning didn’t care about her money at all even though she was spending it to save someone’s life. Other people didn’t know about it and would only think that she was stupid and rich.
At this time, Chu Ning felt that it was worth it to use money to save these people’s lives.
Even though these people were really stupid and greedy, this was human nature.
Not everyone could be like the father, the young man of few words, or the few others who had left.
Xu Xi also gradually calmed the anger in his heart. Chu Ning was immensely beautiful and smart to begin with.
For such a perfect and outstanding person to pay such a price just to make them wait for an hour, something unpredictable and dangerous would definitely be happening in that hour.
“It’s related to this high-altitude attraction,” Yan Shen said softly.
“On the surface, she’s straightforward and acts like a boss, and doesn’t even act like a girl. But now, just because of an uncertain factor, she’s willing to let people think that she’s a fool. Lowering her status and betting on that unknown possibility… She’s so kind that it makes people’s hearts ache,” Yan Shen continued to mumble to himself.
“It’s going to rain.” Xu Xi reached out and touched the empty air. Despite the slight chill, he felt that today’s wind was especially gentle and warm when he saw Chu Ning, who was not far away, transferring money with a relaxed smile on her face.
At the same time, Luo Yu, Xiao Mi, and some other female students were trying their best to persuade parkgoers to go to other venues. To this end, they even made up various reasons and said words such as explaining that the other attractions were very fun.
The busy figures of the students from Jingyuan High School could be seen at every location of the amusement park. Under Chu Ning’s command, everyone played their part and made definite contributions to Chu Ning’s success in turning the situation around in the end!
Chu Ning’s transfer project was coming to an end. Almost everyone gave her an hour under the temptation of money.
But there were always exceptions.
After all, the amusement park wasn’t owned by Chu Ning, and there was no rule that only Chu Ning could take part in the high-altitude rides.
“We don’t want your money. We don’t care for it. Today, we want to experience this observatory tower!” A petite but fairly unreasonable woman shouted at Chu Ning.
A tall and burly man stood beside her. The man was only wearing a black vest and a duck bill cap. His exaggerated muscle lines and dressing made it easy to associate him with his profession. He was a professional bodybuilding coach.
The woman, on the other hand, was a legitimate rich second generation. She did not lack money.
