Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

The factory did not publicize the handling of leaders such as Li Huaide, Jinbu, and Yang Ligong, after all, it was necessary to save face.

However, Li Jiuzhou and other cadres were notified of Li Huaide's promotion to deputy secretary of the factory.

It wasn't a notification, but rather an announcement that an expanded meeting would be held the following morning, with all cadres at the deputy section chief level and above attending in the conference room.

The steel rolling mill is a large factory with 10,000 employees, and its leadership team consists of 125 people.

The conference room had 175 people, ranging from deputy section chief to director-general level.

In addition, there are 50 workshop directors or team leaders who are actually workers.

Secretary Nie first announced the results of the disciplinary actions taken against Secretary Wu and others, including Yang Ligong, who also received punishment.

Finally, Li Huaide was informed that he had been promoted to a full-fledged department-level cadre and deputy secretary.

Li Jiuzhou was initially feeling a bit drowsy, but upon hearing that his second uncle had been promoted, he immediately became wide awake.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at his second uncle sitting in the center. Coincidentally, Li Huaide also turned his gaze over at this moment and smiled slightly at him.

Li Jiuzhou was stunned for a few seconds before he smiled, because this was not a dream, it was real. His Li family was finally going to produce a high-ranking official. The ancestral graves were practically emitting auspicious smoke. He had to find some time to talk to his second uncle and go back to pay respects to their ancestors.

For ordinary families, being able to reach the deputy director level like Li Jiuzhou is already considered a blessing from their ancestors; they dare not even imagine anything more.

To celebrate his second uncle's promotion, Li Jiuzhou personally went to Fengzeyuan and brought back some ingredients.

In the afternoon, in the small kitchen of the reception hall of the first canteen, Li Jiuzhou and Shazhu were teaching while working.

You Fulai and Qin Huaifeng were also there; they came to assist and help out.

Li Jiuzhou prepared twelve dishes for his second uncle to celebrate his promotion.

As evening approached, Li Jiuzhou and Shazhu started cooking, and apart from the soup that had been simmering in advance, they quickly finished all the other dishes.

Of course, they were all packed into food boxes for Li Huaide to take home and eat, to celebrate with his family.

Of course, Li Jiuzhou is also his family, but they cannot be compared.

They played different roles and didn't live together.

Li Huaide left with the vegetables. He accepted his nephew's gift, but there was no need for many words of thanks, as saying too much would hurt feelings.

After the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Secretary Chen immediately got out of the driver's seat and opened the door for Li Huaide in the back seat.

"Boss, please be careful..."

After getting out of the car, Li Huaide looked at his secretary and became more and more satisfied.

Of the nine people in the factory leadership team, eight had secretaries involved in the case, but Li Huaide's secretary, Xiao Chen, was completely innocent!

There's so much to analyze here.

The fact that Xiao Chen didn't collude with them was enough to earn Li Huaide's respect.

So, the secretary didn't make a mistake, and he even got promoted. It has to be said that luck is very important in officialdom.

"Xiao Chen, how long have you been working as a clerk?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Xiao Chen's heart began to pound, and his breathing became somewhat rapid. As a cadre, there were two kinds of questions that a leader would ask.

It's either that I want to give you more responsibility or I think you're doing a terrible job.

It was clear that Chen Fei belonged to the former category, because he was certain he hadn't made a mistake, so he composed himself and answered respectfully:

"Boss, I've been working as a clerk for a year and a half now."

Li Huaide smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"You're doing very well. Get ready, it's time to give you more responsibilities."

"Yes, leader. I feel very secure working under you. I will definitely work hard from now on. I will follow your instructions and fully cooperate with your arrangements," Chen Fei shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, well said. I'll see how you perform in the future."

After laughing, he leaned close to Xiao Chen's ear and whispered:

"There's an envelope in the back seat. It's for you. Consider it my early congratulations on your promotion."

Xiao Chen felt embarrassed and firmly refused.

"Boss, I don't want it. You've been promoted and I, as your subordinate, haven't given you anything. How could I let you spend money on this? People will laugh at me if word gets out. I don't have the face to accept it."

Li Huaide's eyes widened:

"What are you talking about? I, Li Huaide, never mistreat my subordinates. If I tell you to take it, then take it. Stop talking nonsense, or I'll beat you up."

"Well... okay, thank you, boss." Xiao Chen had no choice but to accept it. He knew Li Huaide's temper well. He usually had a smiling face for everyone, but when he got angry, he would exude a murderous aura that would make people break out in a cold sweat.

"That's more like it." After saying that, Li Huaide turned around and went into the courtyard.

Xiao Chen carefully carried the food container into the car; this was the kind of thing he should do.

After finishing, Xiao Chen drove away. Inside the car, he kept thinking about what happened a year ago.

At that time, Yang Ligong's secretary, Xiao Wu, started forming cliques and secretly created what he called the "Secretary Clique".

He cultivated relationships with all the leaders' secretaries, secretly siphoning money from the factory to spend, but Chen Fei was the only one who didn't participate.

Because Li Huaide gave him too much, he was very generous to his secretary, and there were benefits for anyone who did his job.

Not only did the factory pay his wages every month, Li Huaide would also give him other things, all sorts of things, without fail every month.

So when Xiao Wu tried to pull him into the water with a thousand yuan, only God knows how much he struggled!

He didn't sleep a wink that night. He and his wife counted the thousand yuan more than a hundred times. They had never seen so much money before!

But reason prevailed in the end, and he returned it the next day, looking down at Xiao Wu and telling him that his family had plenty of money!

Is this all you're going to use to test your cadres?

Actually, my heart is bleeding.

Fortunately, Li Huaide treated him well. It's true that Chen Fei likes money, but who in this world doesn't love money?

But Chen Fei prefers power!

The fact that he wasn't dragged into this mess by Xiao Wu last time further proves that some benefits shouldn't be taken.

So the question is, what benefits can be obtained?

That was given by Li Huaide. Chen Fei had thought it through very clearly. The leader had a bright future. He was a department-level official in his thirties, and would at least become a deputy minister in the future. Even he, a lowly clerk, could see that.

If I don't keep up with the pace, I really won't even be qualified to be a secretary for my boss in the future.

His nephew, Li Jiuzhou, is a 25-year-old deputy director, while he himself is almost 30 and still just a clerk.

So you still need someone behind you. Just stick close to Li Huaide and you'll rise to prominence sooner or later!

Overwhelmed with excitement at the thought, Chen Fei unconsciously slammed on the gas pedal, and the car shot off like an arrow.

Before they could even leave the compound, they were stopped by the team leader on duty.

The captain walked curiously to the car window, and when he saw that Xiao Chen was the only one there, his face immediately fell. He waved to Xiao Chen expressionlessly.

Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed. He realized he had been too happy and had forgotten where he was.

He had just gotten out of the car and was about to apologize when a gust of wind hit him in the face, and he was slapped twice.

Xiao Chen covered her face, her eyes blurry with tears, because of the pain.

At that moment, the captain's angry shout rang out:

"You fucking stand at attention and speak!"

Chen Fei obeyed out of respect for his authority.

The captain glared fiercely at Chen Fei:

"Listen up, I don't care whose lackey you are. Here, if you're a dragon, you'd better coil up; if you're a tiger, you'd better lie down."

"Did you hear me?"

"Yes, sir!" Chen Fei replied loudly, not daring to be negligent.

The captain nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand: "Get lost~"

Yes~

Soon the car was restarted and slowly drove out of the compound.
