Xu Damao jogged to the backyard, grabbed the back of Wang Dabao's bicycle, and whispered something to him.
"Brother Da Bao, you have to help me out! What you said just now sounded really strange. It can't be true, can it?"
Wang Dabao stopped and turned to look at Xu Damao, his tone serious: "Damao, you've made a terrible move. It seems you're really in a hurry. Don't you realize that the factory's security department is just sitting around doing nothing?"
"You think you can bring down Yi Zhonghai just by spreading some rumors?"
"Your rumors are like an itch; they're bound to make Yi Zhonghai uncomfortable and disgusted, but have you considered the ultimate consequences?!"
Xu Damao was a little confused and pouted as he retorted, "No, Dabao, listen to me. I didn't originally intend to use this rumor to kill or cripple Yi Zhonghai. I just wanted to ruin his reputation so that he wouldn't have the energy to cause trouble in the hospital, so that my position would be more secure."
"Look at you, you're only thinking about your own pleasure. When the security department finds you, what will happen to you?"
Wang Dabao shook his head, his eyes revealing a look of disappointment and frustration. "You're accusing me of embezzling public assets. Don't treat this like a joke. When the truth comes out, you won't just lose your position as the manager, you won't even keep your job, and you might even be sentenced!"
"No...that can't be!"
Xu Damao wrapped himself tightly in his cotton-padded coat, feeling the warmth slowly draining from his body. He clicked his tongue and said, "It's all that bastard Yan Jiekuang's fault for coming up with such a terrible idea. He's ruined me. Dabao, you have to help me. I can only rely on you to save my life now."
After pondering for a moment, Wang Dabao said, "The only way now is to confess to the factory and say that someone misled you into doing this, and that you were just confused for a moment."
Xu Damao's eyes widened: "Will this work? What if the factory fires me right away?"
“If you wait for the security department to find out about you, it won’t be as simple as just being fired. If you confess voluntarily, the factory might treat you leniently if they see your sincere attitude.”
Wang Dabao took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Damao. "Damao, you can be honest, but you can't take all the blame. Just say that when you were eating in the cafeteria, you heard someone say that Yi Zhonghai had some financial irregularities, and you just followed along and said a few words without any malicious intent."
"Will this work?" Xu Damao was a little unsure.
"This is the only way. As long as you are sincere and haven't caused any losses to the factory, they probably won't do anything to you. But if you stubbornly resist and it gets found out in the end, that will be a big deal."
Wang Dabao seemed to have made a major decision. "Da Mao, to be honest, I know people in the security department. I'll swallow my pride and put in a good word for you. I reckon this matter will be over."
"They won't inform you at the factory, and even Yi Zhonghai won't know it was you who did it."
As he spoke, Wang Dabao rubbed his hands together awkwardly, "But now the news has spread throughout the factory, and things have gotten a bit out of hand. You'll have to spend some money so I can treat those security guys well. Otherwise, why would they help you?"
Xu Damao gritted his teeth, "Okay, Da Bao, I'll listen to you. I'll go to the security department and confess tomorrow. By the way, how much money do you need for this?"
Xu Damao then began searching his body.
"Let's get a hundred yuan."
"so much?"
Xu Damao felt like his heart was bleeding, but compared to losing his job, it was nothing. He gritted his teeth, counted out ten large black ten bills, and handed them to Wang Dabao.
Ever since the last time the gang raided our house, he's been keeping all the money we have on him.
Wang Dabao nodded and took the money: "That's right. You have to think carefully about the consequences before you do things in the future. Don't be so reckless. Consider this a loss to avoid further trouble. If things go well, I'll invite you to dinner."
"real?"
Xu Damao looked at Wang Dabao gratefully. Hearing that he could have dinner with the security department, he felt that although the money was spent, it was at least worthwhile. "Brother Dabao, I owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for your reminder, I would have been in big trouble."
Wang Dabao waved his hand: "It's too far-fetched to talk about these things with my own brother. Your business is my business, and I will do my best to help you."
Xu Damao repeatedly urged Wang Dabao to talk to the security personnel properly and not to get himself involved, as he was counting on his projectionist job to support his family.
He also said that if the money wasn't enough, he could contribute more.
Wang Dabao was somewhat tempted, but considering that he would eventually have to keep his identity a secret, he gave up.
We'll run into each other all the time, so just swindle him a hundred yuan. After all, Da Mao likes to pick up girls and spends a lot of money, so we need to make sure he has some money on him.
The next step is to see if we can fool Yi Zhonghai and get some money along the way. However, Yi Zhonghai is not as easy to fool as Xu Damao. We have to break things down and explain them to him.
After saying goodbye to Wang Dabao, Xu Damao had no desire to go back to Yan Bugui to take on cases and show off. He wrapped himself in his coat and went home.
By this time, he had sobered up completely, and upon hearing Wang Dabao's words, cold sweat broke out on his back.
After carefully considering Wang Dabao's analysis, Xu Damao became increasingly frightened.
It turns out that what he thought was a flawless plan was full of loopholes. Wang Dabao wasn't bluffing him. What was the security department doing? How could they not understand such a small matter?
It's all my fault for being blinded by greed. I couldn't even see through such a simple truth. Once they find out who I am through the clues, lock me up in a dark room, give me a beating, and I'll confess to everything. I might even end up in prison!
This job was passed down from his father, and it was supposed to be passed down through generations like the yellow jacket. If he lost it, his father would definitely skin him alive.
