Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

The investigation team naturally found out the contents of the meeting of the steel rolling mill's leadership. Do you know what their investigation team does?

No one would dare to go to Liangshan without some serious skills!

Who would dare to do this job without some skills and connections?

They're doing things that offend people, do you know why?

Because these corrupt officials are like hot commodities in their eyes; only by taking them down can they have a bright future!

Otherwise, who the hell would dare to do this job that offends people?

The bigger the tiger, the more excited they get. What's that saying again?

"Fight for justice!"

What are they doing at the meeting at the steel rolling mill?

It was obvious they didn't welcome the investigation team. They were treated well on the first day, but started causing trouble on the second day.

It's alright, Team Leader Liu and the others are used to it.

Team Leader Liu, puffing on his cigarette, smiled at his subordinates and said:

"Brothers, it seems some corrupt officials are getting restless. We need to be more careful from now on. We won't be greedy. Taking down one is a win, taking down two is a double win, and our happiness will be doubled."

As soon as Team Leader Liu said this, some of the younger members of the team immediately echoed his sentiments:

"Boss, since the steel mill is so uncooperative, I think we shouldn't hold back and should just take action against the top leader."

"The old guy is getting on in years, I reckon he's got a ton of shit on his ass, so I'll mess with him."

Team Leader Liu stared speechlessly at the young man. This guy was parachuted in, supposedly with some connections, and was just here to gain experience. And here he was, asking to take down the top leader, who was at the provincial level.

Your face is really big!

His team members kept their distance from him discreetly, fearing they might be affected if lightning struck.

Team Leader Liu looked at him and sneered:

"Chang Sheng, your family chose a really good name for you. Chang Sheng means long life and immortality."

"I suggest you change your name as soon as possible. This name carries too much good fortune; you can't handle it."

Liu Changsheng seemed not to understand the meaning behind the team leader's words, and thought he was being praised.

"Team leader, my name was given to me by my great-grandfather. He said I have a good destiny, and that demons and monsters can't get close to me. I'm very resilient."

Team Leader Liu covered his face, not wanting to talk to him anymore. This bastard has some skills, but they're unreliable. Oh well, let him be.

I'm already over forty, and by all accounts I shouldn't outlive him. But who the hell is he, with the name Changsheng (meaning longevity)? Just by the meaning of his name, who the hell could outlive him?

Then, Team Leader Liu assigned tasks and went to the Publicity Department to investigate and collect evidence.

Xu Damao was a little nervous. He had something to hide, after all, he had never considered himself a good person.

As the heir to the nickname "gossip," Xu Damao knows far too much.

He knew the investigation team was there to investigate corruption, but that was all he knew. He couldn't find out anything about what was his.

He was extremely nervous, thinking that his reselling of workstations and food coupons was also within the scope of their investigation.

Actually, he was delusional. Nobody has time to care about a nobody like him. They're going to get at least a few division-level or deputy-department-level officials removed from their posts.

What are you, a projectionist? At most, they'll ask you for some information.

Sure enough, when the investigation team talked to Xu Damao, he almost wet himself.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Xu Damao shook his head: "Boss, please ask me anything. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Although the investigation team spoke with Xu Damao, he wasn't an idiot, so how could he honestly confess and say he didn't know anything when asked?

Unable to get any information from him, they had no choice but to let Xu Damao go. Just as Xu Damao stepped out of the house, he heard laughter coming from inside.

"That kid had a donkey face, a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks. You could tell he was no good at all. And he was so stubborn. What a piece of trash!"

"Damn it!" Xu Damao cursed under his breath. This was a blatant personal attack!

This is intolerable! If he lets himself be bullied like this, he's not a real man.

With a turn of his head, Xu Damao kicked the door open.

The noise was so loud that it alerted the colleagues in the publicity department next door, who all came out to see what was going on.

Xu Damao pointed at Liu Changsheng, who had just mocked him:

"What the hell are you talking about? You think I have a donkey face? You've got a monkey face too!"

"You were sent to investigate corruption, not to attack and slander our fellow workers. You have made a serious mistake."

"I'll go to your place at 8 AM!"

Hearing the commotion from his colleagues behind him, Xu Damao raised his arm and waved it:

"Colleagues, these two comrades just now, seeing that they couldn't get anything out of me, started making sarcastic remarks, saying that I have a donkey face and a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks."

"I, Xu Damao, admit I'm not good-looking, but is this some kind of insult? Have I broken any laws?"

After she finished speaking, she squeezed out a few tears. Whether it was genuine grievance or intentional, it won the sympathy of her colleagues present.

So the focus turned outwards, and Yang Guangming was the first to step forward.

He didn't want the investigation team to stay any longer. He himself was definitely fine, but what about his third uncle?

He's keeping a mistress and having an improper relationship. If he gets caught, he'll be finished too.

Don't ask him how he knows. He's been to Yang Ligong's office quite a few times. If he's been there so many times, what secrets wouldn't he discover?

He's been incredibly nervous these past two days, even more so than Yang Ligong himself.

So the instant Xu Damao finished speaking, he had an idea: to make a big fuss, the bigger the better, ideally making it impossible for the investigation team to stay.

Without saying a word, Yang Guangming rushed over, grabbed Liu Changsheng by the collar, and slapped him twice across the face.

"How dare you insult our steel mill workers like this? Today, I, Yang Guangming, will stand up for justice on behalf of our fellow workers."

Perhaps Yang Guangming got a little too into character; after finishing his sentence, he even struck a pose and sang a bit:

"I'll whip you with my steel whip, I'll beat you, you living turtle..."

And look, some people are actually cheering!

"Good, well done!"

"How dare he insult our fellow workers like that! He deserves a beating! Everyone step back and let me slap him twice!"

Liu Changsheng covered his face, completely dumbfounded. He had never been slapped before in his life, and he was so angry that he was practically fuming, especially with so many people watching.

If this gets back to the compound, will Liu Changsheng still be able to hold his head high?

He even considered shooting Yang Guangming, but in the end, reason prevailed, and Liu Changsheng felt that he should fight back to regain some face.

So he threw a right hook at Yang Guangming's chin.

With a loud bang, Yang Guangming was sent flying into the air, then lay motionless on the ground.

He was trained, and in his rage, he didn't hold back at all; it was a full-force attack.

"Damn it...you dare to fight back?"

"Brothers, kill him!"

The propaganda department members weren't made of clay either; how could they tolerate their own people being bullied like this? They all swarmed forward, determined to beat Liu Changsheng to death!

Workers are also very spirited; although they sit in offices, they are still part of the workforce.

Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Changsheng pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the air.

"Bang bang bang!"

Now no one dared to approach; they were so frightened that they squatted on the ground.

However, things have escalated too much; guns have been fired, and how to handle the situation is now a problem.
