Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Erhu took Wang Juan's words as a compliment and smiled broadly, then pressed on with another question:

"Haha, Juan'er, you think so too? Everyone says so." Da Hu patted his muscular chest as he said this.

"Juan'er, I'm telling you this now: if you come with me, I guarantee you'll have a good life from now on."

Wang Juan was stunned. She had only thought Erhu was a bit simple-minded before, but now she realized that he was a bit too simple-minded. He didn't even understand what she meant.

This is a bit troublesome, so Wang Juan reorganized her words:

"Erhu, I said we can't be lovers, can't we just be friends?"

"I really like the rabbit fur two-piece bedding set you gave me today. You really treat me like a friend, and I really enjoy being friends with you."

"As for dating, let's forget about it."

"What? You don't want to date me?" Erhu looked displeased.

Wang Juan was so intimidated by Erhu's imposing manner that she took two steps back, her voice suddenly rising:

"Wang Erhu, what are you doing? Dating is about mutual consent. If you like me, I'll date you, right?"

"Then why did you accept my things!" Erhu roared.

Hearing the commotion, the publicity staff all poked their heads out of the windows, and the biting cold wind couldn't dampen their enthusiasm for watching the excitement.

"If you can give it to me, why can't I accept it? I didn't force you!"

"Don't come looking for me again." After saying that, she turned and left.

Wang Juan also didn't want to continue dealing with someone as simple-minded as Erhu.

"Wait a minute."

Erhu stepped forward and snatched the rabbit fur two-piece set from Wang Juan's hands.

"Why are you accepting my 'little things' if you're not going to date me? Isn't your dad a department head? He's got plenty of money, go buy your own!"

He got the item and turned to leave, leaving Wang Juan standing there in a helpless rage:

"Wang Erhu, you bastard!"

"Fuck your mother!" Erhu didn't turn around, but raised his hand and cursed.

"Hahahaha..." Xu Damao was on the second floor, clutching his stomach and almost laughing so hard he was cramping up.

"Good, well said! Erhu didn't disgrace our No. 95 compound!"

"It's good that someone taught that brat Wang Juan a lesson, hahaha..."

Soon, all the workers and leaders in the factory knew about it, and it became a topic of conversation.

When Da Hu returned from his shopping trip and heard the news, he shook his head helplessly. He knew his younger brother's personality; this was the kind of thing he was capable of doing.

Now you've given up, haven't you?

I'm so happy to have gotten that rabbit fur two-piece set as a gift for my wife...

Director Wang of the Production Department was furious; he had completely lost face today.

He wasn't angry at his daughter, but at Wang Erhu for actually cursing his daughter like that. What, did he want to cuckold his father?

We absolutely have to teach this bastard a lesson.

Li Jiuzhou was overjoyed upon hearing the news. This Erhu was quite interesting; he was a real tiger. The name was definitely well-chosen.

Unable to swallow this insult, Director Wang immediately went to the forging workshop to cause trouble for Erhu.

In front of a group of workers, Erhu was berated and insulted.

"What's wrong with you, young man? Dating is about mutual consent. What's with the swearing? Don't you have any sense of discipline?"

Erhu was completely bewildered by the scolding:

"Who else could it be but you?"

Director Wang was trembling with anger. So all that he had said was nothing to this kid?

Anger surged straight to the top of his head:

"Who am I? I'm your dad!"

Erhu immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this, turned around, grabbed a large iron hammer, and prepared to smash him to death.

"I'll fucking beat you to death!"

"Stop it!" Director Wang was startled and quickly ordered the workers to pull it back.

But the enraged Erhu was incredibly strong, and he managed to break free by swinging the heavy iron hammer that weighed dozens of kilograms.

Director Wang's face turned pale.

"Don't come any closer..." After saying that, she took off running wildly out of the workshop.

Erhu chased after them with red eyes, followed by a group of blacksmith workers who were terrified.

Da Hu rushed over after hearing that Wang Juan's father had gone to the forging workshop to cause trouble for his younger brother.

Upon arrival, I saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu.

Seeing his younger brother running wildly with a huge iron hammer, he was stunned and quickly shouted to stop him:

"Brother, throw away the hammer!"

When Erhu saw his elder brother arrive, he readily stopped and threw the hammer on the ground.

Director Wang stopped when he saw this. His forehead was covered in sweat, not from the heat, but from fear.

At this moment, Erhu spoke, extremely angry:

"Brother, this old bastard claims to be your father, how can I not beat him up? Isn't that an insult?!"

Da Hu was also a little angry when he heard this. He looked at Director Wang with annoyance and said, "Why are you meddling in the affairs of young people?"

So what if I scolded your daughter a couple of times? What's wrong with her? Is she made of gold and can't she be scolded?

"Director Wang, I need an explanation," Da Hu said coldly.

Director Wang was completely dumbfounded. Should I explain?

Your brother chased me for hundreds of meters with a sledgehammer, trying to kill me, and now you want an explanation from me?

I am a section chief, and you expect me to give an explanation to a lowly worker like you?

His remaining anger surged, and he roared at the tiger:

"Explain your mother's head!"

"Holy crap!" Erhu jumped up and punched!

After Erhu punched his older brother several times, seeing that he was still standing there dumbfounded, he urged him:

"Bro, what are you standing there for? Punch him!"

"If you don't beat him up today, how will you ever be able to stand up for yourself in the factory? He said he wanted to be your father!"

"If you don't beat him up today, Dad will beat you up when you get home!"

Da Hu thought it made perfect sense, and his eyes immediately turned red. He rolled up his sleeves and started punching Da Hu hard!

"Fuck, fuck, I'll teach you to want to be my dad, fuck!"

The workers who caught up all breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Erhu had put down the hammer.

A few punches won't kill someone.

Soon the security personnel arrived, and a group of people were taken away for questioning.

It wasn't a big deal, just a fight. There are so many workers in the steel mill, and it's not uncommon for arguments to escalate into fights. The security personnel are used to it.

Just give each of them thirty lashes and that's it.

But this time it was different. It was a one-sided beating, and the person who was beaten was a section chief in the production department. The matter escalated.

Inside the meeting room, Secretary Nie sat silently at the head of the table, covering his head.

Yang Ligong slammed his fist on the table in anger:

"Bang!"

"This is utterly disorganized and undisciplined! How can they hit people? They even hit cadres! Does that mean they'll hit me next?"

Li Huaide continued:

"Comrade Ligong, you can't say that. Hitting someone is wrong, but wasn't Director Wang also right?"

"A department head, for personal reasons, went to the workshop and pointed his finger at a worker and berated him."

"He even said he wanted to be his father in front of so many of his coworkers. Doesn't he have any pride or dignity?"

"If you ask me, a beating would be too lenient."

Everyone was trying not to laugh after hearing Li Huaide's words.

Yes, it's true that a section chief being beaten by workers might make the leadership lose face, but what does it have to do with them? They weren't the ones who got beaten.

Director Wang, your disregard for dignity has already led to your downfall.

If Wang Erhu were a coward, he would have just cursed, but the other person actually fought back.

After all, there are still so many workers on site, and if not handled properly, it could provoke conflict between the workers and the leadership.

Therefore, most people suggest raising the board high and lowering it gently, which is beneficial to both parties; a warning is sufficient.

Yang Ligong was just putting on an act. After all, Director Wang was his man, and he had no choice but to do this so as not to dishearten his subordinates.
