Courtyard House: Inheriting the Restaurant, the Jia Family Wants to Get It for Free

Deputy Factory Director Yang was absolutely furious.

This guy with the bangs is a complete idiot!

He kindly said, "Everyone, eat whatever you want, don't worry about the rules," in order to get closer to the public and establish a friendly image.

Instead, this idiot kept saying "respect the leader" and "do you even respect the leader?" He even used his name to threaten other workers.

Doesn't this tell everyone that Yang Xingguo is a bureaucrat who likes to seek special treatment and abuse his power?

If this gets back to the factory and reaches the ears of the higher-ups, will Yang Xingguo ever be able to face anyone again?

Does he even have a future in politics?

Just as Deputy Factory Director Yang was about to explode with anger, Cheng Shuhai, who had been silent all along, suddenly laughed.

"Liu Haizhong, you're actually dreaming of becoming a leader?"

"With your level of ideology, if you were really made a leader, wouldn't you just ride roughshod over the people and act like a tyrant?"

Cheng Shuhai wiped his hands, slowly walked up to Liu Haizhong, and began to speak.

He paused, glanced at the ashen-faced Deputy Factory Director Yang, and continued meaningfully, "If you ask me, if I were your boss, looking at your character, forget about promotion, I'd kick you out of the workshop and make you clean toilets to reflect on your actions!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Yang's eyes lit up.

Yup!

This Comrade Cheng really hit the nail on the head!

This guy with bangs has a problem with his thinking; keeping him in an important production position would be a hidden danger.

Reassigning him to clean toilets is both a punishment and a statement!

Firstly, it would demonstrate to everyone that Yang Xingguo would never tolerate such sycophancy and alienation from the masses.

Secondly, it was also a way to curry favor with the clever and capable Cheng Shuhai and do him a huge favor!

Killing two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Deputy Factory Director Yang no longer hesitated and suddenly stood up.

All eyes in the restaurant instantly turned to him.

Everyone knew that the leader was about to speak, and Liu Haizhong was probably in big trouble.

Deputy Factory Director Yang looked at Cheng Shuhai, nodded approvingly, and then turned his stern gaze to Liu Haizhong.

"This young comrade is right!" His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of authority. "Comrade Liu Haizhong! Your thinking is seriously flawed! Your style of being detached from the masses and only thinking about currying favor is a malignant tumor that we workers absolutely cannot tolerate!"

He emphasized each word, announcing, "When I get back, I'll immediately discuss it with the factory committee and have you transferred from the forging workshop! Starting tomorrow, you'll be responsible for cleaning all the factory's toilets! Reflect on your problems while you're in that position!"

boom!

These words struck Liu Haizhong like a bolt from the blue, leaving him completely stunned.

The...the entire factory's toilets?

He was completely stunned, his ears were ringing, and he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

He came here today full of joy, hoping to curry favor with the boss and get a promotion!

How did I go from a respected intermediate blacksmith to a janitor who has to clean toilets in just a few words?

The difference is too big!

The restaurant workers were taken aback at first, then burst into suppressed laughter.

Although Deputy Factory Director Yang said he would "go back and discuss it," everyone present knew that the matter was already a done deal, and nothing could change it.

"No! No! Deputy Factory Director Yang!"

Liu Haizhong finally realized what was happening and completely broke down. He knelt down with a thud, scrambled to Deputy Factory Director Yang's feet, and began to wail and cry, clinging to his legs.

"Factory manager, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I'm just an uneducated, uncultured man who speaks without thinking!"

"I just wanted to express my respect for you, I didn't mean anything by it!"

"Please, please give me another chance! I have a wife and children to support!"

However, Deputy Factory Director Yang didn't even bother to look at him.

He turned to Cheng Shuhai, his face regaining its warm smile, and said apologetically, "Comrade Cheng, I'm really sorry. On behalf of the steel rolling mill, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you by having a comrade like Liu Haizhong in our factory."

Cheng Shuhai waved his hand and said, "Deputy Factory Director Yang, you're exaggerating. This matter has nothing to do with the steel rolling mill, and even less to do with you. It's purely because Liu Haizhong has poor personal qualities and a problem with his brain."

Seeing that he was being so accommodating, Deputy Factory Director Yang was even happier and readily accepted the offer.

Director Li, standing nearby, glanced coldly at Liu Haizhong, who was still wailing on the ground, and shouted with disgust, "Enough! Stop making a fool of yourself here! Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong trembled and stopped crying.

He knew it was all over.

His face was deathly pale, his eyes were vacant, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away. He got up from the ground in a daze and staggered out of the small restaurant.

Looking at his pitiful figure, everyone in the restaurant shook their heads.

This guy with the bangs really has no brains at all.

Wanting to curry favor with your superiors is fine, but doing so by stepping on others and disgusting everyone is the biggest idiot, and you deserve this fate!

After Liu Haizhong was chased away like a stray dog, the atmosphere in the restaurant became even more lively instead of awkward.

The workers looked at Cheng Shuhai with a hint of admiration.

This young boss is really something! Not only is he skilled, but he also has a tough temper. He even dares to lay a hand on a seasoned veteran like Liu Haizhong. Most importantly, he still has the upper hand after the fight, and in the end, he even made the factory leaders apologize to him.

That's incredible! That's amazing!

"Boss Cheng, that kick just now was really satisfying!"

"Exactly! That old bastard Liu Haizhong always liked to put on airs at the factory; he finally met his match today!"

Everyone praised him, but Cheng Shuhai just smiled and went back to the stove.

To him, kicking someone in the bangs was like swatting a buzzing fly; it wasn't worth taking seriously at all.

He quickly and efficiently heated the oil in the wok again, and soon, three fragrant, piled-up portions of spicy chicken were ready.

He personally carried the plate to the table of Deputy Factory Director Yang and his colleagues.

"Deputy Factory Director Yang, Director Li, Elder Shi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I won't wait, I won't wait!" Director Li waved his hand hurriedly, his eyes already fixed on the spicy chicken on the plate.

Deputy Factory Director Yang also smiled and said, "We should be thanking you for helping our factory get rid of a comrade with ideological problems."

Old Shi was even more direct, picking up his chopsticks and putting a piece of chicken into his mouth.

After chewing just two times, his eyes suddenly lit up.
