Chapter 203 Feng Mu's reliance, I will influence them
Wang Cong sensed a hidden aura of danger from Feng Mu. It was like a wisp of dark smoke, causing a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
However, strangely, in the midst of this fear, he did not choose to retreat completely. Instead, he mustered up unprecedented courage and tried to continue speaking.
In that elusive dangerous atmosphere, Wang Cong felt an attraction that was as deadly and tempting as opium, which was attracting him in an inexplicable way, making him both afraid and irresistible to get closer.
It was as if, if he could get a little closer, he could really get a little bit of what he longed for from Feng Mu...
Wang Cong first gently twisted his neck and looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then, he raised his head slightly, looked across the corridor at the surveillance camera in the distance, and confirmed that it was impossible to monitor their conversation at this distance.
He then lowered his voice again and asked with a tremor in his voice: "If, I mean if, I want to make progress, what do you think I should do?"
Feng Mu replied calmly, "First, you need to understand what everyone is evaluating in the last-place elimination rule."
Wang Cong pondered for a moment, then replied: "I think this is a test of how much benefit we can bring to the prison. In other words, it is to see who can squeeze more money out of the prisoners they manage."
Feng Mu said noncommittally: "Well, tell me more about it."
Wang Cong replied: "Take our No. 1 Light Prison A Division for example. Division Chief Chang Wei has three floor captains under him."
"Take Captain Tian Tao as an example. He is in charge of 14 prison guards on our floor. All the money these 14 prison guards receive from the prisoners every week must be collected by him on Monday and then handed over by him."
"Captain Tian Tao's performance is the sum of the performance of our 14 prison guards."
"He needs to use this performance to compare and rank with the other two captains, or even captains of all divisions. If he ranks at the bottom for two consecutive weeks, he will be demoted."
"The vacant position will be filled by one of the top-ranked captains, which means that in the future one captain may be able to manage multiple floors across regions."
"Or, when the top-ranked captain has no intention of concurrently serving in other areas, the warden will promote one of the outstanding prison guards to fill the vacancy."
As Wang Cong explained, his tone became a little frustrated: "So, if I want to replace Captain Tian Tao, I must first ensure that Captain Tian Tao ranks last among the captains. Secondly, I must ensure that I can squeeze enough money from the 41 prisoners in the five cells under my management so that I can stand out from the other prison guards."
"However, if I perform too well, wouldn't that help Captain Tian Tao improve his performance? This is too difficult."
The more Wang Cong thought about it, the more discouraged he became, and the fire in his eyes grew weaker.
Feng Mu's eyes became brighter the more he listened.
You should know that the prison has not yet officially issued specific documents and rules regarding the [last-in-first-out system], although this news has already spread widely in the prison.
However, as a marginalized person who has been excluded and bullied for a long time, Wang Cong was able to collect such detailed information in such a short time and narrate it clearly and logically. I am afraid that these thoughts have already been turning around in his mind.
"Hehe, it seems that Wang Cong, you are not as timid and obedient as you always show verbally." Feng Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling very relieved in his heart.
A person's words may deceive others, and sometimes even deceive himself, but a person's actions cannot deceive others.
Feng Mu looked at Wang Cong very seriously, as if he had peeked into the most secret corner of Wang Cong's heart through his eyes.
He exclaimed: "Look, you have already outlined a blueprint for advancement. According to what you said, it only takes two steps to get to the top."
Feng Mu paused for a moment, then slowly raised a finger: "The first step is to prevent other prison guards on the same floor from collecting too much money, which will collectively lower Captain Tian Tao's performance."
Then, he raised his second finger: "Step 2, you collect much more money than other prison guards, so that your share of the performance of Captain Tian Tao will stand out from the crowd."
Wang Cong listened to Feng Mu's summary and conclusion. The other party's understated yet powerful tone once again gave him a shot of adrenaline.
He asked hesitantly, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice, "But how exactly do I do that? How do I make sure the other guards don't collect too much money?"
Feng Mu grinned and said, "The best way is to prevent them from coming to collect the money."
Wang Cong froze in place, shuddering inwardly, but his mind involuntarily followed Feng Mu's words and began to uncontrollably come up with various plans to prevent his fellow prison guards from collecting the money.
A dangerous thought flashed through his mind - if they were gone, naturally no one would come to collect the money, right? ! ! This thought made his heart beat faster, and his expression changed from gloomy to bright. Feng Mu looked at Wang Cong's changing expression and said with a half-smile, "Unfortunately, unless we can make them all get seriously ill, it's almost impossible to do it."
Wang Cong suddenly woke up, his heart suddenly tightened, and he was horrified to find that his thoughts just now were so crazy: "I must have lost my mind just now, what was I thinking about?"
He looked at Feng Mu guiltily, his palms sweating slightly, and he subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At this time, Feng Mu's voice sounded again, with a hint of deep meaning:
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Therefore, we can only try to persuade the prisoners on this floor who are unwilling to cooperate with them to pay less or not pay at all in the next few days or even the next week."
Wang Cong nodded obediently, and then asked doubtfully: "How is this possible? How can we interfere with the affairs of prisoners in other cells besides the one we are in charge of?"
Feng Mu smiled and said, "Of course it's impossible during the day, but don't forget, at night, there are only two of us on night shift on the entire floor. At that time, theoretically, everything on the entire floor is under our control, right?"
Feng Mu put away his two fingers and said meaningfully: "After all, we both have to thank Captain Tian Tao for giving us the opportunity."
Wang Cong opened his mouth wide, his eyes flickered, and finally asked, "Then how can we convince these prisoners to cooperate with us instead of other prison guards?"
Feng Mu slowly reached into his bosom and took out a notebook filled with handwriting. His voice was gentle and firm, and every word seemed to contain unquestionable power: "Because I never beat them without authorization, I respect their personality, I listen to their demands meticulously, I understand them better than any other prison guard, and I am willing to help improve their current poor situation!"
Wang Cong's mouth gradually opened wider, and his eyes revealed more and more surprise. He stared at the dark and thin notebook in Feng Mu's hand, and suddenly he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp as if it had been electrocuted.
As Feng Mu spoke, he slowly and firmly handed the notebook to Wang Cong. His smile was warm enough to melt the snow-capped mountains:
"I believe these prisoners will be influenced by me and will definitely stand on our side."
Wang Cong took a deep breath and took the notebook, but he felt it was heavy, as if it was carrying an incredible weight that made it almost difficult for him to breathe.
Then, he heard Feng Mu whisper in his ear: "And I will definitely stand by your side. I will help you, Captain Wang Cong!"
Wang Cong's breathing seemed to stop at this moment, and his face, neck and back of his hands were covered with dense, trembling goose bumps.
