Xueba's computing system

Chapter 105 Fishing 2
"I, I, I..." Lin Yuan said in a guilty tone.

Dean Li standing next to him stood up straight. He had never thought that Lin Yuan could react so well on the spot. Even his expression at this moment was full of panic after the truth was revealed.

This may be the reason why the loser always has an advantage in performing humble roles easily.

"But, it seems that Lin is honest. At least he admitted it.

We provided you with free computing equipment with good intentions, but you used it to mine for personal gain. When you applied for the equipment, the relevant agreement terms were sent to you for your review. It is wrong for you to do this.”

"I, I know I was wrong. Please don't tell my teacher."

"Tell the teacher? Hahaha, this is not something you can tell the teacher. You are breaking the law, you know that? You are illegally occupying other people's property. Even if it is calculated as theft, the amount involved in your illegal mining is estimated to be more than 30,000.

Do you know how long this sentence will take?"

The other party paused deliberately for a moment, "3 to 10 years imprisonment."

"No, no. I didn't spend any money. I didn't spend a single cent. I'm so poor that I saved it all. Please let me go. I'll give it all back to you, isn't that enough..."

The other party let Lin Yuan talk for a while before continuing, "Since you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, we don't want to ruin your future. It must have been difficult for you to be admitted as a graduate student at Zijin Aviation School. As long as you compensate us for our losses, this matter will be over.

However, we do not accept compensation in the form of Bitcoins earned from mining. Our company does not accept digital currencies.”

"Thank you, thank you so much." Lin Yuan said as if he had been pardoned. "I will save up 30,000 yuan as soon as possible. I promise."

"Student Lin, your mining income is approximately 30,000, but the loss you caused is more than 30,000."

"Well, how much do you want me to pay?"

"Because you violated the regulations on the use of our computing equipment, you must pay according to the commercial lease. For these three months, the monthly rent is 15 yuan, and you need to pay yuan."

“But I didn’t use the computing equipment for mining all the time. I used the computing equipment seriously. Can’t you just calculate it based on the time I spent mining?”

"Student Lin, you need to be more mature. Your improper use of computing power equipment means that the computing power equipment has changed from being provided free of charge to being leased commercially. This is clearly stated in the relevant legal documents when applying."

"150,000? Where can I get 150,000? I can wait until I get a job and then I can slowly work my way back."

"I'll tell you the truth. I haven't reported your case to the company yet. As long as you pay me back as soon as possible, I can report the computing equipment you use as a commercial lease. Otherwise, once the company finds out, I won't be able to help you."

"But, I... I really can't afford 150,000 yuan."

"So do you want to go to jail? Go find a solution from your family."

"If my family had money, I wouldn't use your equipment to mine."

"Haha, Mr. Lin is really honest. How about this, I'll introduce you to some private jobs, and you can use the work to pay off your debts."

Lin Yuan immediately became alert and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Hey, you're a computer science major, so I can help you with some program development and maintenance."

"But that's 150,000. I can't earn that much in a short time."

"I can give you a contact number. You can borrow 150,000 yuan first and pay it back slowly."

"Borrow money? You don't want me to borrow money from a loan shark, do you?"

"If you say that, then I won't bother with you anymore."

"No, no, no, I was just saying that."

"Hey, I feel sorry for you because you're a student. I'll introduce you to a low-interest loan, and you can pay it back slowly. You can also use the digital currency you have on hand to pay it back earlier."

"Really? Thank you so much."

"Hey, everyone has been young. It's good that you know how to turn back." After another burst of gratitude, Lin Yuan finally hung up the phone.

As the red hang-up button was pressed, Professor Zhang immediately patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Very good, you have a good balance between tension and relaxation. The fish is starting to take the bait."

Dean Li quickly asked, "Lao Zhang, who do you think that person is from?"

"How would I know?" Dean Li was anxious to know how big the fish underwater was.

Lin Yuan was in a dilemma, as his wish to quit was dashed. As for why he had cooperated with the performance just now, it was not only to continue to cling to his mentor, but also because he did not want to disappoint his mentor.

Although Lin Yuan had the idea of deserting, as soon as the phone call was connected and he arrived at the front line, he unconsciously picked up the gun.

"Teacher, what should we do next?"

"The other party must be trying to tie you down with money. If they ask you to do something for them from the beginning, from the perspective of ordinary people, they will inevitably weigh the pros and cons. Anyone with a normal mind will report them. Not only will they not have to pay money, but they can also be considered a hero.

Therefore, they will definitely use the excuse of asking you to pay money to slowly drag you into the water.

You must be careful not to show that you can help them get intelligence. And when they try to test you, you must show your fear and trepidation.

In fact, Lin Yuan also thought so, "I think so too, I know what to do."

Professor Zhang nodded frequently, "Great minds think alike."

Then he turned to look at Dean Li, "Old Li, we can put joining the organization on the agenda. We should also start preparing the report to the higher-ups."

Dean Li finally regained his former composure and said, "Don't worry, no one can take this spot away. I will prepare the report materials."

"Okay, you're good at this."

Lin Yuan looked at the expression on his mentor's face when he looked at Dean Li. It seemed that Dean Li was really just a supporting role. If we interpret it from the perspective of code, then Dean Li should be a "system log" - it is not helpful in solving business problems, but is purely used to record business processes.

But just as system logs are indispensable in the world of code, there must be a place for people like Dean Li in the real world.

Even though Lin Yuan was extremely reluctant and didn't want to get involved in this mess, his mentality suddenly changed after hearing about the reward.

"People, after all, have to push themselves."

Now that he was no longer short of money, Lin Yuan was still looking forward to joining the organization.

"There's one more thing," Professor Zhang seemed to remember something, "You're doing so well in the Haotuan now that you've even been promoted to assistant to the general manager of the Zijin branch. You have to find a way to cover this up, otherwise you, a high-paid IT worker, will be exposed for secretly mining just to make some money."

Dean Li immediately replied, "I'll find someone to say hello to the Good Group. The reason is simple. Lin Yuan is still a student. In principle, he is not allowed to work outside the school while he is in school. Let the Good Group handle it in a low-key manner and not publicize it. Or I will be the bad guy."

Dean Li looked at Professor Zhang and said, "On the surface, everyone thinks that you and I are incompatible. I will use the excuse of suppressing you and your student Lin Yuan as a scapegoat to put pressure on the good group. The excuse is the 'problem of students taking up positions outside the school' that I just mentioned. If that doesn't work, I can also use the 100,000 yuan scholarship to make a fuss."

"Ah?" Lin Yuan was stunned. "Aren't you using the 100,000 yuan scholarship as a publicity stunt?"

"Hey~~" Dean Li looked at her like a little kid, "Don't worry about this."

Professor Zhang explained, "You don't understand this. He could have implied that he had to publicize it as a political achievement, but privately he had a problem with me and then found excuses to find fault with me to disgust me."

"Can it be like this?" Lin Yuan thought about it, but still didn't understand.

Seeing Lin Yuan's confused expression, Professor Zhang continued, "Don't worry about whether it's real or fake. The only trouble with this is that you will probably be kicked out by the good group. Companies generally don't want to get involved in the internal struggles of universities."

"That's okay." Lin Yuan was very calm, because he was confident that the good group needed him now and they would never fire him even if they killed him.

"Look at this." Professor Zhang pointed at Lin Yuan and said to Dean Li, "What kind of awareness is this student of mine? He doesn't care about his own personal gain for the sake of the overall situation. Look at you now."

Dean Li looked embarrassed and said, "Nothing, I'll go back and prepare the report first."
