Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

The tug-of-war competition at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has come to an end, but the excitement continues.

Factories throughout Beiping responded enthusiastically, after all, national development and people's livelihoods needed to be prioritized.

Workers held a special position in this era; construction could not have been done without them.

Long hours of work can lead to physical fatigue and mental stress.

The upper management, whether intentionally or unintentionally, praised the work of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, emphasizing the importance of balancing work and rest.

So many factories responded, and things were done, but not quite as well as expected.

Because of the shady dealings, those people didn't use their brains; they just copied what the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill did.

The procedures and spending methods remained unchanged, except for one subtle change. In this one aspect, the company's overall perspective was far inferior to that of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Because Kyoto's No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill was incredibly powerful.

The 61-year-old factory secretary, along with a group of leaders who were all over fifty, surprisingly defeated the forging workshop team in the tug-of-war competition and won the overall championship!

This was even reported in the newspapers by reporters, with flowery language and absolutely no realism.

Upon seeing this, the other factory leaders exclaimed in unison, "Wow, not bad!"

We couldn't be left behind, so the leaders of various factories won the tug-of-war competition and reported it to the authorities.

There were even mocking remarks from other factories, saying that the leadership team of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was really incompetent, that the leadership group was a complete failure from the start, and that they were simply a waste of resources.

Yang Ligong and other members of the leadership team were furious when they saw the newspaper and heard the mocking remarks.

That damn Yi Zhonghai... he's a beast!

But don't worry, there's more to come.

The leadership team of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry was summoned to a small meeting by a top leader, where they were subjected to a barrage of sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.

The original words are as follows:

"Your subordinates are quite good; they're over 60 and still able to play tug-of-war. They're in great health."

"I just don't understand how a group of strong young men can't beat a group of old men."

"Are the cadres eating too well, or are the young men not eating enough?"

"I don't think I need to explain the reasons here; I'm sure you all know better than anyone else."

"If even a small tug-of-war competition is handled so shadyly, what would happen if it were a major incident? Wouldn't it be even more corrupt?"

The heads of the Ministry of Metallurgy felt their scalps tingle and broke out in a cold sweat, inwardly cursing the leaders of the factories.

Including Old Li, but at the same time he was secretly glad that their beloved Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was doing a very good job and was pragmatic.

Sure enough, the top leader changed the subject and began praising the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The original text is as follows:

"I think the newly expanded Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is very good. It's unpretentious and pragmatic. Although the leadership team had some minor flaws before, they didn't outweigh the merits. They've done a great job this time."

"The person in charge of this event has great vision; they should be given more responsibility."

"Such activities can be held on major holidays. Workers have made contributions to national construction, and it is very important for them to have a proper balance between work and rest."

The top leader made two statements. In the first statement, he criticized the cadres, expressing his dissatisfaction with their underhanded practices.

The second paragraph highly praises the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and even expresses great admiration for the initiator of the event. Although it does not name names directly, it makes almost no difference.

The leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy knew perfectly well that this initiator was going to have more responsibilities.

There's no harm in comparison without contrast; it was just a small event at the factory anyway.

But some people are too unpleasant, while others are too outstanding.

Since we've come this far, those who criticize will definitely suffer, while those who excel will naturally be promoted and make a fortune.

There's not much to choose from, it's that simple, clearly defined!

The leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy also started cursing after returning to their own territory.

Old Li couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and shout curses:

"These bastards, of all things to learn, they chose Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and they didn't even learn it well! I'm this old and I still get yelled at by my boss, it's so damn shameful!"

Minister Wang shook his head and chuckled. He was quite angry, not expecting his subordinates to have made such a mess of things.

It's a good thing to let the workers relax, but in the end, it turned out that the factory leaders were just putting on a show.

Later on, they all became more and more impressive than the last.

The reporter must have been paid a dirty bill to write such flowery language. Doesn't your heart ache?

Minister Wang turned to look at Old Li, his eyes cold and stern.

"Old Li, pass on the word and summon all the secretaries and factory directors of factories in Kyoto for a meeting. We need to make sure we follow up on what the leaders said today."

"This door must not be opened!"

Old Li sneered upon hearing this.

"Alright, we need to teach these people a lesson."

At this point, Old Li suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, which factory should receive the new machinery and supplies first?"

"How about we discuss this first?"

Minister Wang pointed at Old Li and laughed loudly upon hearing this:

"Hahahaha... Old Li, you really know how to find the right opportunity to make a quick buck."

"Alright, I won't make decisions unilaterally. Today, you decide who gets the machines and who benefits from the supplies, and that's who we'll give them to. I won't say a word."

The leaders present all laughed after hearing this. Needless to say, they would definitely give it all to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!

Those people made us lose face with the leaders, so don't blame us for not giving you face in return.

No one spoke, but they all understood.

Yang Ligong was originally planning to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai, since the old man had made him lose face among his peers and leaders, so he decided to make him lose face too.

But then he was suddenly notified of a meeting the next day, so he held back for the time being, planning to deal with him when he got back.

The result was indeed a huge surprise to him.

Even Secretary Nie himself was dumbfounded. Damn it, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was actually praised by a top leader.

This is... this is such an honor!

Secretary Nie's face flushed with excitement, and Yang Ligong was no different.

Conversely, other factory cadres were berated by Minister Wang and other leaders until they couldn't even lift their heads.

Yang Ligong sat in the chair expressionless, but inside he was overjoyed.

Yesterday, when I was a guest at the First Steel Rolling Mill, they ridiculed me quite a bit. More than half of the leaders from the Kyoto plant were there, mostly just there to join in the fun and watch the spectacle.

They openly and subtly mocked the leadership of my Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, calling them all useless idiots. I felt incredibly aggrieved at the time.

But I never expected the retribution to come so swiftly.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!

At the same time, Yang Ligong secretly rejoiced, thinking that Yi Zhonghai was a really good comrade, upright and honest, not greedy for petty gains, approachable, and good at communicating with people.

How can we be too harsh on such a good comrade? He must be rewarded, greatly rewarded!
