Chapter 200: If this happens in prison, do you know how many people will die?
"Yes, I understand. I will cooperate with the warden and ensure that there will be no mistakes. Please rest assured, sir."
Zhou Hu stood straight, and his voice coming through the phone was full of respect and obedience.
However, when he hung up the phone, his originally peaceful face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Ma Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Hu clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face twisted, and his voice was fierce and ferocious: "The higher-ups have backed off and ordered us to unconditionally obey and cooperate with the instructions of the warden Qian Huan in the near future."
Ma Xuan's face was solemn, and he asked suspiciously, "The upper management has bowed to Tianguang Capital and fully cooperated with the work of the warden Qian Huan. Isn't this equivalent to handing over our Second Prison to someone else?"
Zhou Hu sneered, his laughter was filled with endless sarcasm and disdain: "The higher-ups didn't bow down to Tianguang Capital, but they gave in to Guangming Group."
Ma Xuan was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhou Hu shook his head: "Do you think the higher-ups will explain the reason to me? Humph, anyway, I've said it before, those people sitting in the office are a bunch of weaklings without balls, and they can't be trusted."
A complicated light flashed in Ma Xuan's eyes. He hesitated and asked, "Should we listen to what the higher-ups say?"
Zhou Hu's brows were knitted into knots, his expression changing from gloomy to bright. He looked at Ma Xuan and asked:
"Do you think that if our Second Prison is really ceded to Tianguang Capital and the overall shareholding reform is completed, will the prison warden Qian Huan continue to retain our position?"
Ma Xuan shook his head solemnly: "It shouldn't be possible. If they accept us all intact, then this second prison will be the same as before, and the share reform will be in vain, right?"
Zhou Hu got confirmation from Ma Xuan, and his face darkened. He asked again: "If Tianguang Capital doesn't want us, do you think the prison system can recruit us back?"
Ma Xuan's expression changed after hearing this, and he finally said hesitantly, "I think so. Otherwise, where should we go?"
Zhou Hu sneered: "Ma Xuan, you are still too naive. You have little contact with those people above. I know them. They will look at us seriously only when we are useful. If we are worthless, they will not care about our life or death."
Zhou Hu paused, then gently patted Ma Xuan on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Everyone has their own job. Without the job of the Second Prison, what are we doing?"
Ma Xuan's voice was a little hoarse, revealing some helplessness and struggle: "Can't we be transferred to other prisons to continue working?"
Zhou Hu's voice was cold and hard, ruthlessly interrupting Ma Xuan's naive fantasy: "Will other prisons welcome us? Even if there is such an opportunity and the higher-ups are willing to arrange it, can we still stay in our current position? Are you willing to give up everything, go to a new prison, and start from scratch as a prison guard?"
Ma Xuan said nothing, but just shook his head stiffly.
Zhou Hu had made up his mind. He said in a deep voice, "So, we must guard our own radish pit."
Ma Xuan stared at Zhou Hu's gloomy and ferocious expression, took a deep breath, and said with a hint of unnaturalness in his voice: "So, what should we do? If we continue to make trouble for the warden, then we are confronting the higher-ups."
Zhou Hu did not answer Ma Xuan's question immediately, but changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't Chang Wei see anyone today?"
Ma Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "He left in a hurry early in the morning. It seems that he went to his nephew's school."
Zhou Hu said with a sigh:
"Chang Wei only has this one nephew, and it's not easy for him. So, when Chang Wei comes back, tell him not to wait any longer and to move up the plan. Let him get this done, and I'll give him a long vacation so he can concentrate on looking for his nephew. Who knows, maybe he can find him, right?"
Ma Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.
Zhou Hu glanced at the phone in his hand, frowned slightly, and seemed more and more irritated.
He patted Ma Xuan's shoulder heavily and said grimly, "I'll leave this matter to you to inform Chang Wei. Well, I have to go to a meeting now. The warden Qian Huan suddenly called a meeting. Hum - he is planning to come up with something new. I have to hurry and cooperate with him."
Noticing Ma Xuan's silence, Zhou Hu's voice unconsciously rose a few notes: "Why, do you have any doubts? Well, that's right, Chang Wei's thinking is not as sharp as yours, it's safer to let you and me handle this important matter..."
Ma Xuan shuddered involuntarily, and he quickly responded: "No problem, I'll talk to Chang Wei as soon as he comes back."
Zhou Hu slowly withdrew his hand, walked out of the office with a gloomy face, and went to the meeting room.
Ma Xuan's face turned pale and stiff. He was not sympathizing with Chang Wei's experience, but was repeatedly thinking about Zhou Hu's heavy advice just now:
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
——You are still too naive. You have little contact with those people above. I know them. They will look at us with respect only when we are useful. If we are worthless, they will not care about our life or death.
Ma Xuan stood there in a daze, as if motionless like a stone statue for a full half minute. Then, a sad smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself, "Yes, one carrot, one pit. I must hold on to my carrot pit, so this can't be blamed on me!"
Ma Xuan exhaled deeply, as if exhaling the heavy burden in his heart.
He reached out and took out his cell phone and called Chang Wei: "Hello, where are you? Come back soon, I have something important to tell you. Well, don't worry, it's good news."
…The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and Zhou Hu could no longer control his emotions.
He slammed the table, his eyes reddened, staring at the warden, and angrily asked: "What did you say?"
Qian Huan had a cold expression on his face, and his eyes no longer had the usual caution. Instead, there was a ferocious expression, as if his father had just died.
He looked Zhou in the face without fear, sneered and said sarcastically: "The last-place elimination system is a performance appraisal mechanism that many companies currently advocate and strictly implement. Warden Zhou doesn't even know this. Has he stayed in our relatively closed prison environment for too long and can't keep up with the pace of the times?"
Zhou Hu almost laughed out of anger. He retorted, "Of course I know about the last-in-last-out system. I just want to ask you, are you planning to bring those things from the outside companies to the prison? Are you crazy? This is a prison!!!"
Zhou Hu looked at Qian Huan as if he were an idiot. He sneered, "Warden, do you know how many people will die if you do this in prison?"
