Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"It's simple in theory: bring in more people."

"Bring in more people? What do you mean?"

"Brother Tian, ​​who did you submit this report to? And who changed it to this format?"

"I submitted it directly to Warden Wang Tao. At the time, most people opposed the plan, but Warden Wang Tao was relatively supportive. He privately instructed me to report the progress of the project directly to him."

Therefore, I submitted all my reports directly to him.

"That settles it!" An Xiaohai said with a smile on his face, but in his heart he had cursed Wang Tao a hundred times! He was so bad, he had planned to take the credit from the very beginning.

The objections from others are also reasonable. After all, who would really want to see their colleague achieve something significant and overshadow them?

What does this mean?

"This means that the names on the report are all people under Warden Wang Tao's command. As for the newly arrived Deputy Warden Li Wei, he's just someone you can't avoid!" Tian Qiaoguang said, rolling her eyes.

"So, many people probably don't know about this. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye! Surely the officials at the First Prison aren't a monolithic group?"

"I understand!" Tian Qiaoguang looked at An Xiaohai: "You're quite cunning, aren't you? You're trying to incite these people to fight each other. But I don't think it's a good idea. What if it backfires? Wouldn't that be like playing with fire?"

"No, we'll just be careful. You don't need to show your face, let me handle it. Just play dumb and cooperate."

"I see. I think that's fine, but you should be careful, just in case..."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm just a lowly prisoner, who would notice me? I know what to do."

"I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid things will get too complicated and I'll mess up the whole project. Maybe we should just call it off."

"They won't ruin the whole project. This peach is too big and too tempting. Even if they fight tooth and nail, they will never give in!"

We can't just let this go. This is the result of a year's hard work, and they're just taking away most of the benefits so easily. I just can't swallow this insult.

"Fine, I can't swallow this either, but you have to tell me how you plan to start? I can give you some advice."

An Xiaohai knew that Tian Qiaoguang was worried about the entire project. He couldn't cooperate if Tian Qiaoguang didn't understand what he was supposed to do, so he had to explain it to him.

"It's too simple. Just find someone who isn't on this list and casually reveal this information to them. We don't need to do anything else, so we won't face any risks."

People will definitely come to you and ask you to add their names. Just push them up, Brother Tian.

You can only push the blame upwards, right? Nobody can blame you. Everyone knows you're the biggest sucker, and it's not your fault.

"That puts your job in order. It would be unreasonable for those guys to ignore your contributions now."

"That makes sense, that makes sense..." Tian Qiaoguang nodded repeatedly, "But where should we start?"

"An Xiaohai, Section Chief Yang is here to see you. Have you finished talking with Xiaotian?" Liu Xuemei's voice came from outside the door.

Tian Qiaoguang and An Xiaohai exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!

-------

"What...what's wrong with you guys?"

As soon as Yang Yuanbing stepped into the ward, he noticed that the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Tian Qiaoguang didn't speak, but An Xiaohai secretly gave Yang Yuanbing a look, signaling him not to say anything more. Yang Yuanbing seemed to understand and nodded slightly.

"Oh dear, you guys chat, I have some things to do!" Liu Xuemei knew why Tian Qiaoguang was acting this way. She felt a little awkward staying there, so she took the opportunity to run away.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. I'm quite tired today. An Xiaohai, you need to get some rest. I'll come see you again when you're feeling better."

Tian Qiaoguang also expressed her intention to leave at the right time. Her expression and demeanor were simply Oscar-worthy, leaving An Xiaohai stunned.

Indeed, in this world, everyone lives behind a mask.

"What happened?" Yang Yuanbing asked quietly, pointing to the departing Tian Qiaoguang. Not bad, this guy didn't come empty-handed; he brought fruit.

"Sigh, it's all because of that project," An Xiaohai started acting too: "We worked so hard for over a year, and it was finally almost over, but then...sigh!"

An Xiaohai let out an exaggerated sigh.

"Is your computer project nearing completion? Is it that fast?" As expected, Yang Yuanbing was completely unaware of this.

"Yes, the main program is complete. All that's left is to fill in the data, test the functions, and apply patches. I think it would be best to expand the scale and test it again to make it more reliable."

But, sigh, now we're not in the mood for it anymore.

"I understand now, you've had your fruits stolen, haven't you?"

"Section Chief Yang, are you aware of this?"

"I don't know, but it's not hard to guess!" Yang Yuanbing waved his hand: "This is perfectly normal. I advise you to take it easy. This Xiao Tian is the same. When the leader takes credit for you, it means he thinks highly of you. Letting the leader get a little benefit won't hurt you!"

They're still too young and don't know how to adapt.

Don't be like him, unable to think straight. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter where your name is listed, as long as you're on the list, you've achieved your goal.

As for the rest, forget about them!

"Section Chief Yang is right. Hearing you say that makes me feel much better. Yes, as long as I'm on the list and can get a reduced sentence, who cares where I am on the list?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it!"

Yang Yuanbing looked rather smug, lit a cigarette, and seemed not very interested in benefiting from the project.

An Xiaohai was a little worried. This was a tricky situation. He couldn't very well explain the benefits of the project to Yang Yuanbing in detail, could he? That would seem too deliberate, and Yang Yuanbing would definitely be wary.

So how can we persuade him? Unless it involves his fundamental interests...yes, his fundamental interests!

"Section Chief Yang, to be honest, I'm really grateful for your protection these past few days. Otherwise, I don't know how much I would have suffered."

"Hey, don't say that. You know how it is between us, it's mutually beneficial."

"That being said, I'm still very grateful. Section Chief Yang is a trustworthy, ethical, and responsible person. If it were anyone else, well..."

"You're right, but those people won't go far. We need to think long-term, don't you think?"

Although Yang Yuanbing is a scoundrel, he's a scoundrel with principles, and he's also incredibly fair! He's definitely much better than those who just take money and don't do anything.

"That's true, thank you for the reminder, Section Chief Yang!"

I was originally thinking that once this project was almost finished, I would talk to Section Chief Yang and see if he had any friends I could place there. That would be a small way for me to repay him.

"You mean we can plant prisoners in this project?" Yang Yuanbing was indeed interested. If he could really plant prisoners connected to him, his profits would be huge.

These prisoners have been given the opportunity for sentence reduction; shouldn't we show them some appreciation?

Yang Yuanbing truly treated accepting bribes as a career.

"Yes, it's possible to infiltrate prisoners to participate in this project."

"That's highly unlikely, isn't it? The vast majority of these inmates at Prison No. 1 didn't even finish elementary school; many of them can't even read properly. How could they participate in such a project? It's too obvious, isn't it?"

"Section Chief Yang, you may not know this, but computer programming projects aren't what you're thinking!" An Xiaohai said with a smile.

The fish finally took the bait!
