Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Since the conclusion of the democratic life meeting at the steel rolling mill, other factories in Beijing have also held their own democratic life meetings.

The democratic life meetings in other factories were much more interesting; they really rolled up their sleeves and got to work, almost fighting tooth and nail!

The top executive of the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill was directly cracked open by the second-in-command.

When the news reached the Ministry of Metallurgy, a group of leaders were so happy they slapped their thighs, exclaiming, "That's awesome! That's awesome!"

Is this what a democratic life meeting should be like? If you're not satisfied, then fight!

The competition for senior management positions in other factories is much fiercer than in the steel rolling mill.

If the second-in-command wants to rise to the top, then he must bring down the top leader. Yes, he can only bring him down. Are you suggesting that he be sent straight to the top?

Wouldn't I become a laughingstock? How could I allow that?

So they created all sorts of obstacles, giving the top leader a huge headache.

There's nothing I can do about the headache; I can only fight it. Am I supposed to complain to the boss?

If that's the case, you might as well pack your bags and go home. If you can't even control your subordinates, then what the hell are you doing here?

It is precisely because of this reason that the second-in-commands of each factory are so emboldened to push their way up!

However, the consequences of this behavior are also very serious. If the factory leaders only care about fighting and don't care about production, then things will go wrong.

It wasn't until half a month later that the second-in-command of the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill successfully ousted the first-in-command and took over.

Other factories followed suit and rushed to catch up.

The result was complete chaos in the factory, and the metallurgical department was in turmoil!

"Bang!" Minister Wang slammed his hand on the table, a rare occurrence for him.

"Outrageous! Insubordination! Has no organizational discipline? They have some nerve, damn it!"

Minister Wang's gaze swept over everyone in the conference room. No one dared to meet his eyes, except for Old Li, who looked solemn and nodded slightly to Minister Wang.

Minister Wang continued angrily:

"Look at the factories below. The higher-ups are resorting to any means to climb the ladder. This kind of insubordination cannot be tolerated!"

"Get rid of all those people who have risen to power again, wipe them all out!"

"After communicating with higher authorities, starting today, the top leader of all factories will be at the level of a full-fledged department director, and the second-in-command can only be a deputy department director!"

"Fight? I'll let you fight!"

Mr. Wang raised his hand to speak:

"Minister, and everyone else, this is fine, but what about the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill?"

"Their factory has one deputy ministerial-level official and two department-level officials. Isn't this unfair to other factories?"

Minister Wang, upon hearing this, was no longer angry and gave Old Wang a kind smile:

"Old Wang, the fact that you say this shows you have a sense of public duty, and I'm very pleased!"

"No favoritism was shown because the comrade who performed meritorious service is your son."

Old Wang wasn't overly excited by the minister's praise; instead, he smiled slightly.

"Boss, at our level, we may have personal motives, but we must prioritize the overall situation!"

"I cannot sacrifice the interests of the people and the country for personal gain. No matter what, I will obey the organization's arrangements without hesitation!"

"Okay, clap clap!"

The meeting room erupted in applause!

Mr. Li spoke with a smile:

"Hahahaha... Old Wang, don't worry, we won't condemn good comrades outright."

"We are all aware of the achievements that Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has made since its establishment as a joint state-private enterprise."

"They have made significant contributions and achieved great merit. Their leadership team is very solid. Although they have some minor flaws, these do not outweigh their overall excellence!"

"Our Ministry of Metallurgy has decided to leave it as is; Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill will proceed according to the original plan!"

"Whoever told them to obey should be told that those who are jumping up and down, no matter which faction they belong to, should admit their mistakes and stand at attention when they are punished!"

"Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is the benchmark. Only when you can perform as well as them can you come and negotiate with me!"

Minister Wang chimed in:

"That's right, that's how we'll do it. Send out the documents, fire those bastards, and I, the Ministry of Metallurgy, will take responsibility for any mistakes. Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid!"

These two words, spoken by a group of men over fifty, were deafening!

Just kidding, what are they afraid of?

Even if a nobody like San Dou came, they would dare to bang on the table and curse, but Minister Wang and Deputy Minister Li could handle it.

Those who could become the top two leaders in the Ministry of Metallurgy held positions equivalent to three beans, both at the ministerial level.

Unless... unless a four-bean person comes.

Even if four beans come, they can still muster the courage to go up and brew a good cup of tea, offer special tea, and say a few nice words of reason!

If a big shot shows up, then you're in charge, do whatever you want... can't we just back down?

But the chances are slim. The highest levels are paying attention. The production capacity of various factories in the Gyeonggi region is declining, and they're even engaging in political infighting?

Struggle is fine, and you can do whatever you want within the rules. But if you disregard production, that's not allowed, and you'll be held accountable.

The Ministry of Metallurgy acted swiftly, removing the top two leaders of various factories within a week.

More than 40 division-level cadres were also rescued!

Don't worry about the factory not operating without them. There are plenty of people who are genuinely willing to work hard; they're just worried about not having enough opportunities.

Of course, most of them were promoted from within the factory, but some were parachuted in through connections. The Ministry of Metallurgy also had to consider personal relationships.

However, there are conditions. If you don't do a good job, don't blame us, the Ministry of Metallurgy, for not giving you face. If something goes wrong, you'll still be removed!

These officials who have fallen from grace are only those in the capital region; there are similar cases in other areas as well. The Ministry of Metallurgy is determined to rectify the situation, which is also a way of showing its resolve to higher authorities!

If the members of the leadership team in the Ministry of Metallurgy don't perform well, they won't necessarily be dismissed; they can simply retire or be reassigned.

At Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Secretary Nie, Yang Ligong, and Li Huaide watched with trepidation and lingering fear.

Yang Ligong was practically begging Secretary Nie for forgiveness, but luckily he only wanted to advance his career and never intended to mess with Secretary Nie, otherwise he would have been in real trouble.

Li Huaide was also a little scared. At the time, he thought Secretary Nie was going to step down, and he even considered exposing Yang Ligong's illicit affairs.

Fortunately, his father-in-law told him to take his time, since they were already in the main hall and there was nowhere else to go, so there was no rush.

Could it be that he's going to join his good friend Li Zhan in fighting corruption?

That would offend too many people; Li Huaide's ambitions lie elsewhere.

Otherwise, why would Li Zhan be a full-fledged official? He earned that position through hard work and dedication.

Li Zhan's career path was already set in stone. He could only continue to fight, carving out a bright future and securing a high position so that he could sit securely and then fearlessly send his subordinates to continue fighting!

If Li Zhan were to change his ways and stop killing people, and instead go into politics, Li Huaide believes that within a year he would face a frenzied revenge from the relatives and friends he had killed.

Li Zhan is now arguably the most popular rising star when it comes to killing people; it's said that he even killed a deputy minister!

Li Zhan is the top leader in the anti-corruption agency. Li Huaide's father-in-law predicts that Li Zhan will definitely be promoted to a ministry when he turns 40, and the process will be very fast!

Li Huaide couldn't compare to this speed of progress, nor did he have the courage to do so.

What are we comparing?

It's not like he's beheading people on the battlefield. If that were the case, Li Huaide wouldn't be afraid at all.

But Li Huaide dared not follow Li Zhan's method of killing people. Who the hell could compete with him in this way!

If we really compare, I'm afraid even my parents wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully underground.

Li Zhan had no choice at the time. His superiors had taken a liking to him and wanted to promote him. If he didn't advance, he would be relegated, and once he was relegated, it would be for life.

At that point, turning things around will be harder than climbing to heaven.

The advantage of killing people is that you progress quickly; I'm now at the same level as Li Huaide!

He had to light my cigarettes and pour my drinks when we were eating together!

What?

You, Li Huaide, are unwilling?

Fine, I'll fucking investigate you!

It won't be as simple as lighting cigarettes and pouring drinks anymore; it'll be counting heads...
