Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

This operation at the factory really put the workers through the wringer, forcing them to work overtime as soon as the New Year was over.

Working overtime is one thing, but you don't even stop for a second.

It has to be said that Yang Guangming is a ruthless person.

Not only the workers had complaints, but other factory leaders also had complaints.

Overtime work requires mobilizing human, material, and financial resources.

Working overtime on rest days and eating is free, which puts a lot of pressure on the logistics department, as more than 10,000 people need to eat and drink every day!

Offering it for free also puts enormous pressure on the finances.

Everyone in the factory was on edge, not daring to relax for even a moment.

At this point, speculators emerged, stealing iron blocks from the factory and selling them.

The statisticians immediately reported it, and the leaders held another emergency meeting.

All departments in the factory expanded their workforce, including the security department.

But without evidence, you can't search the workers. There are over 10,000 people, how can you investigate?

Stealing iron blocks from the workshop is incredibly easy for anyone with a keen eye. All they have to do is stuff them into their pants if they don't mind the mess. Go ahead and check me, go ahead and check me!

In just half a month, the factory lost over a thousand kilograms of scrap iron, which is terrifying.

This wasn't just one person stealing; it was a group of people stealing.

When Secretary Nie found out, his face turned green, and he flew into a rage at the meeting.

The security department was ordered to investigate thoroughly, and under pressure, many people were arrested.

The formation was enormous, with over two hundred armed security guards lined up in two rows at the factory gate.

Those with guilty consciences broke out in a cold sweat, and were spotted by soldiers secretly observing them, who immediately dragged them out and searched them.

If they find something, they'll beat you up on the spot—and it'll be a real beating, the kind where you scream and yell.

You talk about human rights, but the security department uses violent law enforcement?

Then you're wrong. They beat us even harder. They're a violent organization to begin with, so what the hell are you asking for human rights from?

Jia Dongxu stood trembling among the onlookers.

Because he took something, the front door was loose, and he took two screws.

It's not very big, a bit thinner than my little finger.

Jia Dongxu subconsciously touched his pocket, a move that was immediately spotted by a sharp-eyed security guard, who then caught him.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale; he realized that his apprentice might have made a mistake.

Because recently many people have been saying that every worker in the factory knows this.

In the past, few people did this. If there was a real need at home, you would report it to the team leader and then pay for it yourself. It wasn't expensive.

But for some reason, recently they've all changed to "shun" (meaning "smoothly"), and they don't report it or pay for it anymore.

This leads to a strange phenomenon: if you take it, I take it too, and it doesn't matter if my coworkers see it; it's just a small part.

Normally, losing one or two parts wouldn't be a big deal, but now there are too many, so many that the factory can't handle it.

Soon Jia Dongxu was taken to the duty room for a body search, where two screws were found.

The captain gave a signal, and one of the soldiers went up and started punching and kicking him.

"Are you going to talk or not? You're just being stubborn, aren't you?"

"Tell the truth."

"You fucking bastard, just tell me!"

Jia Dongxu felt like he wanted to die, so he didn't immediately start hitting him, crying out in pain:

"I didn't say I wouldn't tell, so just ask me what you want to say!"

"You've been hitting me for several minutes and you're asking me if I'm going to talk or not? What am I supposed to talk about?!"

The soldier who had made the move asked his comrade beside him, puzzled, "Didn't I ask?"

"Did you ask?" The comrade was also a little confused.

The soldier who had made the move blushed slightly, but quickly recovered and sternly questioned Jia Dongxu:

"Tell me, where did the screw come from?"

"Of course I bought it. I bought it from the team leader, and the receipt is still in my pocket." As soon as Jia Dongxu said this, everyone in the room felt a chill.

They're all stunned, it's all over, they arrested the wrong person, and then beat them up.

However, to verify the truth of Jia Dongxu's statement, they searched him again and found that he actually pulled out a receipt written by the workshop foreman.

It clearly states that Jia Dongxu, a level-two fitter in the first workshop of fitters, purchased two screws and received two cents from him. The witness is Gao Dashang, the foreman of the first workshop.

That's it, Barbie Q is here.

This is the sentiment of the security guards.

The captain quickly stepped forward and helped Jia Dongxu to a chair, offering him water and cigarettes.

The security chief was extremely embarrassed. He would rather go back to the battlefield and fight the Japanese than be in this awkward situation.

I've become the bad guy this time.

However, since the matter had come to this point, it still needed to be resolved, so he put on a kind smile:

"Um... Dongxu, right? Sorry, brother, there's been some shady business going on at the factory lately, so the guys have been a bit sloppy."

"Yes, Brother Dongxu, I was impulsive. I'm sorry." The soldier who hit him also stepped forward to apologize, his face flushed.

"You guys are bullying me like this! What did I do to deserve this? Waaah..." Jia Dongxu cried out in grievance after the truth came to light.

That was a huge injustice. He was beaten up for no reason, and many of his coworkers saw it. He also had injuries on his body. How could he face people when he got back?

How should I deal with my neighbors?

When Jia Dongxu, a grown man, started crying, the security guards were truly at a loss.

If they were in Jia Dongxu's shoes, they would feel wronged too. This time, he has truly committed a terrible sin...

Soon Yi Zhonghai arrived with workshop foreman Gao Dashang. They were shocked to see Jia Dongxu's miserable state.

After finally learning the truth, he was furious. This whole thing was just ridiculous.

Yi Zhonghai was heartbroken; who wouldn't feel bad if their child got beaten up for no reason?

Not to mention that Jia Dongxu made a mistake at all. He followed the legal procedures when buying screws, but was taken in for questioning because of his nervous expression, and ended up getting a beating.

However, even the mentally strong Yi Zhonghai couldn't withstand it.

This can't be kept secret anymore; there were so many workers at the factory gate just now.

Li Huaide also came over; he had to make a statement. The workers had been wronged and needed to be comforted.

The security department's enforcement is too sloppy; it needs to be rectified.

Only Li Huaide can handle wiping someone's bottom.

"Old Yi, take Dongxu to the factory doctor first. I'll handle things. Don't worry, Dongxu won't be wronged. We'll have results tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai nodded. Since Li Huaide had spoken, he would definitely do as he was told. He believed that Li Huaide would give his apprentice justice.

After Yi Zhonghai and his group left, Li Huaide spoke sarcastically to the security guards:

"You little bastards, you've really made me proud!"

No one dared to utter a sound; they all lowered their heads and obediently accepted the scolding.

We're all from the military; if we make a mistake, we should admit it, and if we get hit, we should stand at attention!

When Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard with a bruised and swollen face, he was naturally seen by the neighbors, who were all very puzzled. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to step forward and explain.

The neighbors didn't know what to say. They dared not openly criticize the security department, in case they were overheard.

After seeing Jia Dongxu's miserable state, Tong Jie wiped away tears while Jia Zhangshi stood at the door cursing.
