Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

The reason why the spots are considered "hot" is because the people you recruit need your personal signature.

The risk is that you have to think carefully and be cautious. If one of the people you recruit turns out to be an enemy spy, you're doomed!

Although you won't bear the primary responsibility, your future will suffer a fatal blow.

When you get promoted in the future, the political vetting will be done, and the leaders will find out that you've recruited enemy agents.

Let it sit for a while longer...

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and a spot isn't easy to get.

Li Jiuzhou himself felt like he was burning his hands of the quota.

For safety reasons, Li Jiuzhou does not intend to sell.

His plan was to first see if anyone around him needed a job, and then give all the remaining positions to the factory's recruitment office.

I can't cause trouble for my second uncle, nor can I hold him back.

If he were poor and his life was not going well, Li Jiuzhou would choose to sell some of his spots.

But I don't really need it right now, so it's best not to be greedy for this little bit of money; that's the wisest choice.

If you want to climb high, you have to be steady.

Li Jiuzhou first told his wife Bingbing about it.

The Li family has no other relatives, but the wife's family does, and they know each other well.

Bingbing said she would go back to her parents' home to ask them.

When I went home and asked around, I found out that I had several relatives who were living in poverty. I knew their situation well; they were extremely poor.

Under these circumstances, it didn't seem like there were spies in the house, so Li Jiuzhou arranged six workstations for him.

Several relatives were extremely grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Fan after the workstation was arranged, and the two elders were beaming with pride.

That's just how reality is. In the eyes of ordinary people, if a family has a relative who is an official, then that official position is basically wasted if the family isn't close enough to hold the position.

You're not even as good as us, so what kind of leader are you? You're just a nobody.

This is the narrowest perspective; in reality, the intangible benefits are far greater.

If you're in the countryside, the locals won't dare to mess with you. Isn't that a kind of protection?

Think bigger; first and foremost, you need to prove yourself.

On a side note, the author has a relative who is a leader in the tobacco bureau, and they had a get-together during the Chinese New Year.

She once said that even if you had just gotten into a vocational agricultural school back then, with her power, she wouldn't know where you would have ended up, let alone writing novels...

So if you want someone to support you, you have to prove yourself first.

You have nothing, only a junior high and high school education. Even if someone wanted to help you, they couldn't. What's the point of helping you?

There's also a childhood friend's uncle, who's a manager at a state-owned enterprise. It's difficult for him to even help his friend out; he only graduated from junior high school, so what's the point of helping him?

The only way to get a job is through connections, such as arranging for your childhood friend to work on a construction site. It's easy and there's room for advancement. If you want to advance, you have to take an exam. That's how your uncle is motivated to help you.

But my childhood friend was a disappointment; he couldn't handle the hardships of working on a construction site and ran away.

Meanwhile, his childhood friend's cousin, who graduated from junior college, was helped by his uncle all the way to become a branch manager at a bank, and the difference was immediately apparent.

A diploma is a stepping stone. Dear readers, if you have such relatives, remember to seize the opportunity and help them out after you become successful.

I'd also like to experience what it feels like to be helped up, thank you!

After arranging things with his wife, Li Jiuzhou went to find Sha Zhu and asked him if he had any relatives who needed help.

Sha Zhu scratched his head and honestly explained, "Senior brother, my dad doesn't have any relatives here, but he does have a few cousins. However, they're all doing quite well, so let's forget about the job."

"There's no one left on my mom's side, so there's nothing to help her with."

"Last one is my wife. How about we arrange for her to work in the cafeteria?"

Li Jiuzhou smiled upon hearing this: "You're willing to let your wife come to work? Didn't you say you were going to spoil her?"

Sha Zhu blushed and said, "It's all because she kept insisting on becoming a glorious worker."

"There's not much to do at home, so let's just let her do it."

Li Jiuzhou nodded, thinking it was a good idea. Since Qin Huairu was just idling at home anyway, she might as well come to work.

Qin Huairu arranged it smoothly, saying in the courtyard that Sha Zhu had bought it with money.

Whether the neighbors believe it or not is irrelevant; they don't need to believe it at all.

Li Jiuzhou never mentioned having any job openings, nor did he mention it to other leaders in the factory.

Of course, Li Jiuzhou would also be asked by his neighbors if he had any spots available. Of course he didn't. Why would someone like me, who works in the kitchen, need any spots?

Some people don't believe it, like Yi Zhonghai. As a senior fitter in the factory, he still has access to a few leaders.

How could he not pay attention to such a big thing as the steel rolling mill expanding its workforce?

You can glean something from just a few words from a leader.

Yi Zhonghai might believe that Li Jiuzhou didn't have any job openings, but Li Jiuzhou could definitely get them.

Yi Zhonghai was absolutely convinced of this. Even Qin Huairu went to work in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill. Did he really need to guess the intricacies of the situation?

Who manages the canteen? It's Li Jiuzhou. Without his approval, Qin Huairu wouldn't have been able to get into the factory so easily.

Tong Jie envied Qin Huairu. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have definitely gotten a job as a worker. This opportunity was just too good. The steel mill was expanding its recruitment. It was an opportunity that wouldn't come around for ten years. It was a pity that she was pregnant and could only stay at home to prepare for childbirth.

Qin Huairu went to the kitchen and was taken care of by Sha Zhu. She did odd jobs, such as washing and serving vegetables. Her internship salary was 18.5, and it would be 27.5 after she became a full-time employee.

Qin Huairu was very motivated, and even with Sha Zhu's help, she wanted to do more work.

Just kidding, this is her first job, and she cherishes it very much.

Her family may be wealthy, but she didn't earn it herself.

Qin Huairu is inherently strong-willed, but this strength is somewhat superficial, only on the surface.

To put it bluntly, she just doesn't want to farm in the countryside. As long as she marries into the city and gets a government-subsidized job, she'll do as much housework as she can.

There's nothing wrong with pursuing a good life; everyone has their own choices.

For example, in the original drama, she married Jia Dongxu, and her subsequent actions showed that she had done more than enough for the Jia family and for Jia Dongxu.

But it's a different story when it comes to others, especially to Sha Zhu.

If you don't want to suffer, then others will be the ones to suffer.

After Qin Huairu made the arrangements, Li Jiuzhou kept three spots for himself and gave the remaining 10 to the recruitment office to handle.

When other leaders and colleagues found out, they didn't say anything. Some even cursed Li Jiuzhou in secret, saying he was an idiot who didn't know how to make money.

Li Jiuzhou really didn't know how to allocate the remaining three spots.

None of the people he knows are short of money or jobs.

The master's two sons are both soldiers, still in the army, and are now senior colonels. If they want a job, they can arrange it for them easily.

Senior Brother Wang Shan is not lacking either, so reserving three spots is enough, just in case.

Like my second uncle, Li Huaide, there were so many people asking him to arrange jobs that they were as numerous as grains of rice, but he always refused them all.

Because Li Jiuzhou only said one sentence: "Second Uncle, what if one of the people on the note you approved is an enemy agent?"

"It's not a big problem, but we can't be too afraid of the unexpected."

Therefore, Li Huaide decided not to gamble; he only needed enough money.

If an acquaintance comes to plead for leniency, he won't grant special approval; he'll follow the normal procedure. At most, he'll inform his subordinates, but he absolutely won't issue a special note.

In fact, it is very clear from above that with more than 7000 people recruited, there will inevitably be saboteurs, and screening can only be done slowly in the later stages.
