Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Yang Guangming rolled on the ground, leaving the place where the "Oli Gei" was, and then immediately stood up, leaning against the wall and started vomiting.

After recovering, she glared fiercely at Jia Dongxu, her eyes seeming to want to kill him.

Jia Dongxu smiled sheepishly:

"Brother, we've become friends after this fight. How about this, I'll give you a hundred, and we'll call it even."

"I'll give you my money! That's mine to begin with. Hand it over now, or I'm going to the security department."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu also became anxious. If this were reported to the security department, the money would definitely be lost. So he pretended to be hesitant:

"Bro, the problem is no one can prove this money is yours. I'll take a loss and give you half, okay?"

"No, bring them all." Yang Guangming replied without even thinking.

"Damn it, go find whoever you want, I'm not putting up with this anymore." With that, Jia Dongxu turned and left.

Yang Guangming watched Jia Dongxu walk away and quickly followed him quietly.

He needs to know who the person who found his money is.

After watching Jia Dongxu enter the fitter's workshop, Yang Guangming felt more confident. He stopped a worker who was about to go to the restroom and asked:

"Comrade, was that person from your workshop? What's his name? I'm from the publicity department."

Upon hearing that Yang Guangming was from the propaganda department, the worker immediately said:

"Oh, his name is Jia Dongxu. What do you need him for?"

Yang Guangming smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just looking into it. Thank you, comrade. You can go back to your work now."

After figuring out Jia Dongxu's identity, Yang Guangming went directly to his third uncle, Yang Ligong.

Upon meeting, he immediately recounted his recent ordeal, spitting all over Yang Ligong's face.

"Guangming, what did you eat? Your breath smells so bad!" Even Yang Ligong, who was usually quite composed, couldn't help but complain.

Yang Guangming didn't hide anything and told them what had happened.

"Ugh..." Yang Ligong gagged a few times: "Come wash up with me, don't you mind the mess?"

The two quickly cleaned up, and Yang Ligong called his secretary and asked him to find out about the worker's situation.

The secretary returned quickly to report, and Yang Ligong felt more confident. He then instructed the secretary:

"Go and fetch Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu together."

The secretary went to the workshop and spoke to the team leader.

"Master Yi, Dongxu, go to the factory manager's office, there's something I need to discuss."

Yi Zhonghai was a little confused; he naturally didn't know why the factory director wanted to see him.

It's fine to talk to a senior engineer like him about technical issues, but what is his apprentice Jia Dongxu?

After a moment's thought, Yi Zhonghai knew that the problem probably lay with his apprentice.

Because Jia Dongxu's expression changed, he became somewhat nervous and afraid.

"Dongxu, what's going on?" Yi Zhonghai asked in a low voice on the way.

"Master, it's like this..." Jia Dongxu briefly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai shook his head and smiled, unsure whether to say his apprentice was lucky or unlucky.

Honestly, that's incredibly lucky. Who's so lucky to find 600 yuan?

Anyway, Yi Zhonghai never picked it up, not even a single yuan.

It's not good to say anything bad, but the person in question happened to see it anyway. Where can you go to reason with them?

Of course there's room for maneuver. After all, the return is decent, but there has to be some kickback. I can't just get it for free, can I?

As for what about returning lost property?

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it. He only believed that no one in the entire steel rolling mill would return the 600 yuan that they found.

If he actually returns it, then that person is an idiot, an absolute moron!

No wonder his apprentice looked so dejected. If it were Yi Zhonghai, he would be upset too. He couldn't hold onto the windfall he'd received, and he wouldn't be able to sleep at night...

That's 600 yuan! That's enough to buy a workstation in a steel rolling mill. It's no exaggeration to say it's a life-changing opportunity.

Moreover, what does 600 yuan mean? It's equivalent to a year's salary for a mid-level fitter. You can make a fortune on the spot!

No one could maintain their composure. Compared to later generations, 600 yuan at this time was equivalent to 16 to 18 yuan.

Are you calm?

Yi Zhonghai gently patted his apprentice's shoulder and comforted him:

"Dongxu, listen to your master for now. Don't worry, it will definitely be beneficial."

Jia Dongxu looked up at his master and forced a smile:

"Okay, master."

Soon the group arrived at Yang Ligong's office.

Yang Ligong smiled gently at the two of them and even had his secretary make tea.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Ligong spoke:

"Master Yi, you understand the situation now. What do you think is the best way to handle it?"

As the deputy factory director, Yang Ligong naturally couldn't give orders directly, and 600 yuan was no small sum.

If the security department gets involved, then the matter will become quite serious.

First of all, the source of Yang Guangming's 600 yuan is a big problem. If we dig deeper, we will naturally find Yang Ligong.

Although the buying and selling of workstations was an open secret among the steel mill's leadership, it couldn't be done openly and had to be handled privately.

Therefore, this matter should be settled privately.

Yi Zhonghai, with a selfless expression, spoke up: "Director Yang, it should definitely be handed over. I was about to go to the security department after hearing Dongxu say that."

"Besides, such a large sum of money, and we only have one worker, it's too much trouble for us, right, Dongxu?"

Jia Dongxu replied in a muffled voice, "I'll do whatever Master says."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ligong cursed inwardly as an old fox.

Looking at Jia Dongxu, he was clearly very unhappy and even handed it over to the security department. If Guangming hadn't discovered it early, who knows how excited this guy would have been.

Yang Ligong then said, "Master Yi, I just asked Xiao Yang, and he said he's willing to offer 200 yuan as a reward."

"I think it's great, what do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai feigned difficulty, saying, "Factory Director, this... isn't that inappropriate?"

Yi Zhonghai said that, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Yang Ligong had long seen through Yi Zhonghai, and upon hearing this, he smiled and waved his hand:

"It's alright, it's settled then, Comrade Jia Dongxu, what do you think?"

Jia Dongxu's face flushed with excitement. He had originally thought he would have to hand over everything, but he hadn't expected such a surprise. He quickly expressed his opinion:

"I...I'll listen to the factory."

Yang Ligong nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, I will not allow the factory to broadcast the news about Jia Dongxu urinating and defecating indiscriminately."

"Uh..." Jia Dongxu lowered his head in embarrassment.

Yi Zhonghai's expression was somewhat strange.

After a few casual words, Yang Ligong gave Jia Dongxu two hundred yuan to send the master and apprentice away.

"Uncle, are we just going to let Jia Dongxu off so easily?" Yang Guangming was somewhat displeased.

Yang Ligong said:

"Alright, let's do it this way. You're still too impulsive. Be more careful in the future, so you don't give others something to criticize."

"All right……"

The master and apprentice returned to the place where Jia Dongxu had picked up the money. Yi Zhonghai frowned as he looked at the pile of thorns on the ground.

"Master..." Jia Dongxu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head:

"Alright, Dongxu, at least you can keep two hundred yuan. Consider it a windfall."

Jia Dongxu nodded, handed 100 yuan to Yi Zhonghai, and smiled:

"Master, you'll get a share if you see this."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for several seconds, and finally showed a relieved smile:

"Take it yourself. Your master doesn't need a hundred or two. If you really feel bad, I'll cook a couple of nice dishes and treat your master to drinks tonight."

Jia Dongxu also smiled:

"Alright, Master, please go ahead!"
