Chapter 382: Chapter 155 The Plot With No Technical Content_2


Ma Dafu laughed again, "Luckily there’s still enough time. So how are you planning to get citizenship?"


Ren Zhong: "Yang Bingzhong values me highly right now. Yesterday, he realized that I’m supposedly in a relationship with Captain Ma. To secure me, he even offered me 500,000 points as start-up capital. Next, I’ll pretend to be in a passionate romance with Captain Ma, while also getting involved with Manager Ju and two other girls on the team. When the time is right, Captain Ma, you’ll pretend to discover that I’m seeing multiple people, forcing me to break up with others."


"I’ll refuse, and then we’ll fall out with each other. Mayor Ma, you also step in to threaten me once. This works perfectly because although society is generally open, there are also many monogamous families among the citizens. Captain Ma has never been in a relationship before, is strong and straightforward, fitting the character of a possessive woman. So, when Yang Bingzhong sees us at odds, he’ll think he has an opportunity to fully win me over and is sure to take action."


"But there’s a tricky part. He might demand I sign a top-level ten-year long contract with him. I can’t sign that. Otherwise, my citizenship would be compromised, and I’d have to be under his control. I haven’t figured out how to avoid this point yet."


This time, Ren Zhong changed his mind.


He would no longer let the Ma father and daughter be saddened.


Ma Dafu frowned and pondered for a long time, "When your conflict erupts, it must be intense enough. Before the conflict, you two must appear close enough, and the reason for the outburst must be strong. This could lower his guard significantly. Then you implement a delaying tactic, and there might be a chance of success. After all, once you get the enterprise certification and citizen votes, he naturally loses his leverage."


Ren Zhong nodded, taking a sip of tea, "But how do you achieve all these details?"


Ma Xiaoling clapped her hands, "I have an idea! Ren Zhong just has to get me pregnant, right?"


Ren Zhong, who was drinking water: "Pfft!!!"


Dr. Ren collapsed on the spot, "In four days?! How is that possible! Do you think it’s like inflating a balloon! Besides, we’re just acting, we don’t need to go that far, do we?"


He really wanted to open Ma Xiaoling’s head to see what her brain was structured like.


He seriously suspected her brain ridges were flat.


It was still old Ma who thought of a way.


"Ren Zhong said a lot of citizens have already become his informants, right?"


"Yes."


"Then I’ll arrange a villa for you two inside the White Wall."


"And then?"


Ma Dafu’s old face turned slightly red, covering his face, "You two remember around nine o’clock at night to be louder."


Ren Zhong: "..."


Ma Xiaoling, "This is good! Acting is my forte!"


Ma Dafu: "You have to do it for three consecutive days to constantly reinforce Yang Bingzhong’s impression."


Ren Zhong also began to cover his face.


Ma Dafu instructed again, "You two better not actually fall in love, or I’d be too embarrassed."


Ren Zhong shook his head vigorously, "I wouldn’t dare."


Ma Xiaoling also scoffed, "He can’t beat me, no chance of forcing it."


Ma Dafu silently looked at his daughter, who knew what he was thinking.


"And then, on the third day, you two remember to have a big fight. The argument’s content should be something like Ma Xiaoling demanding that he breaks it off with the other three. On the fourth day, in the daytime, Ma Xiaoling, you openly go looking for trouble with Zheng Tian and Hanyu. Ren Zhong, you then get injured. Lastly, I step in, scolding you harshly for becoming Yang Bingzhong’s lapdog and threaten to cancel your temporary wastelander status. That should do it."


Ren Zhong pondered for a while, "It’s quite a good plan."


Ma Dafu: "But the tricky part is the fight has to be real, and the injuries must look authentic. Otherwise, there’s no credibility."


Ma Xiaoling waved her hand, "Hey, Dad, what are you worrying about? Beating people is also my forte. Acting and beating, it’s double forte, the best of the best!"


Ren Zhong quickly called off, "Stop! Stop it! I have other plans, I have a way to fake injuries!"


His next plan was to inject the Star Origin Injection Liquid and fake an injury to shirk, really getting beaten by Ma Xiaoling to the point of being bedridden for ten days, who knows how much time that would waste.


Ma Xiaoling, disappointedly said, "Oh, that’s a pity."


Ma Dafu eventually commented, "Actually, this scheme is a bit playful, but trying it won’t hurt, even if it doesn’t work there’s no loss. At most, just us father and daughter getting laughed at, small matter. Maybe Yang Bingzhong is foolish enough to fall for it?"


Ren Zhong nodded, feeling quite comforted.


He proposed the overall plan, and Old Ma added the details.


Just like when he led juniors in the laboratory projects in the past.
