Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Xu Damao was deliberately trying to provoke Yang Guangming.

Sure enough, Yang Guangming's face turned bright red as soon as he finished speaking, because what Xu Damao said was true.

The truth is like a knife, and it is often the most hurtful!

"Xu Damao, what right do you have to lecture me? You didn't even finish vocational school, yet you pretend to be all high and mighty!"

Xu Damao spread his hands:

"Alright, if you have nothing else to say, get out of here. I still have documents to review."

"Aren't you busy?" Xu Damao slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot, your position as deputy section chief is just for show, it's completely useless!"

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Guangming, I accidentally let it slip. I'm so sorry..."

Yang Guangming gritted his teeth in anger, his finger trembling violently as he pointed at Xu Damao:

"Xu Damao, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise..."

Xu Damao interrupted him directly:

"Or what? Kill me?"

"I'm so scared!" she shouted after saying that.

"Get out of here right now!"

"Hmph!" Yang Guangming snorted coldly, opened the door, and went out.

Upon going outside, he discovered a group of people eavesdropping at the door. His face turned ashen, and he shouted:

"Are you all doing nothing? Go back to work!"

A disdainful sneer came from the crowd:

"Tch, you've only just been promoted to deputy section chief and you're already wagging your tail? Who the hell cares about you!"

"Don't the hell move, let's see how he gets out of this mess."

Sure enough, no one moved; they all looked at Yang Guangming with mocking smiles.

At this moment, Yang Guangming just wanted to find a hole to crawl into; he was completely humiliated!

Xu Damao came out of the office.

He had a smile on his face:

"Oh dear, you're all hiding outside my office listening to the opera. Go back to work!"

"Deputy Section Chief Yang has just been promoted, so there might be some things he doesn't understand that you should help him with. Now you can go back!"

"Okay, Xu Ke!"

The crowd dispersed in a flurry, each thinking to themselves, "Section Chief Xu said to cooperate where necessary?"

How to cooperate?

It means don't cooperate, right? They understand that!

Yang Guangming was even angrier. No one had listened to him, but Xu Damao's casual remark had dispersed the crowd and even saved him from an awkward situation.

It's incredibly frustrating!

Yang Guangming left with a gloomy face and went to find his uncle, Yang Ligong. He couldn't swallow this insult.

Yang Ligong was incredibly helpful, directly summoning the head of the propaganda department for tea.

After discussing it, they handed over the work that originally belonged to Xu Damao to Yang Ligong.

Xu Damao was relegated to the sidelines.

The propaganda department staff were furious. This was an abuse of power, it was outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

But no one dared to resist; the situation was beyond their control!

Who dares to offend the factory manager?

Don't you want your rice bowl anymore?

Even if they can't fire you, you'll still face endless trouble.

Xu Damao just put it on, so this is a warning to others!

But it's impossible to get them to obey. They should just outwardly comply with Yang Guangming's orders while inwardly disobeying them, and drag the situation out until he dies!

Xu Damao had no choice but to relax and clear his head, letting Yang Guangming do his work.

Xu Damao estimated that he probably couldn't handle it.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Guangming took over Xu Damao's work, he immediately rejected the tasks that Xu Damao had just assigned him.

By replanning the project himself, he inadvertently offended another group of people.

The factory was supposed to show a movie for the Lantern Festival, but Yang Guangming refused to allow it.

They approved the requests from other factories for projectionist support.

He lent his factory's projectionist to someone else to do his bidding.

There were even projectionists with free time who were arranged to go to the countryside to show movies during the Lantern Festival.

Xu Damao was overjoyed when he learned of Yang Guangming's arrangements; he was so happy!

So they secretly passed the message out.

The workers were understandably unhappy to learn that no movies would be shown on the Lantern Festival.

Because it used to be held every year, without fail.

What's going on this year? I've already discussed everything with my family.

The workers were uncomfortable, but they didn't cause a scene; missing a movie wouldn't kill them.

On the Lantern Festival, all the projectionists in the factory were busy.

That evening, while other factories were showing movies with great fanfare, the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was eerily quiet.

The workers were all taken aback when they found out that the projectionists from other factories were actually from their factory!

At the entrance of Li Jiuzhou's house in courtyard No. 95, a group of people were gathered around a stove brewing tea.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao with a puzzled expression:

"Da Mao, tell me what's going on? In previous years, our factory would be busiest at this time of year, but this year it's eerily quiet!"

Xu Damao slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth:

"Uncle Yi, this should have been the same as in previous years, but Yang Guangming took over my job and changed the rules."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head upon hearing this:

"This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous! How can this be allowed?"

"I promised Banggeng I'd go to the factory to see a movie tonight, but wow, he just threw a tantrum at me."

Xu Damao shrugged:

"There's nothing I can do. He's the factory manager's nephew. He came here and immediately tried to take my job. I have no choice."

Sha Zhu then spoke:

"Then just let him take it! Why don't you fight him?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at Sha Zhu. "He's always fighting. What kind of behavior is that? He's a deputy section chief. He needs to maintain his image."

Li Jiuzhou smiled faintly:

"See? Someone's bound to cause trouble tomorrow. Yang Guangming has really done something stupid this time!"

No one responded, but they all nodded silently. The workers were bound to make a scene; it would be strange if they didn't.

Sure enough, the next day some workers complained about the situation and were indignant.

Some people even wrote directly to the secretariat.

When Secretary Nie found out, he had a headache. Although the matter was small, the workers were very upset!

When emotions are high, work becomes negative and productivity is also affected.

Not only that, one of the three projectionists sent to the countryside was robbed and beaten black and blue!

The matter escalated, and Yang Ligong tried to suppress it, but he couldn't!

Because the propaganda department had planned it in advance, the film factory would show two movies during the Lantern Festival. Apart from the projectionists who had assignments, everyone else was allowed to rest.

As a result, the people who should have been resting were assigned tasks, which wasn't a big deal, but they were robbed and injured, and their families even came to the factory to make a scene!

Yang Guangming sat in his office, feeling anxious and his scalp tingling!

Because the projectionist's mother was pointing her finger at him and yelling at him right there in their propaganda department!

Other factory leaders stood by and did not want to resolve the matter.

This is Yang Ligong's business. It's your responsibility to clean up the mess left by the person you promoted.

What can Yang Li do? He can only try to solve the problem.

They paid compensation to appease the injured projectionist, while promising to show two films over the weekend.

Yang Guangming's punishment wouldn't go all the way down, but being sidelined is already a fact.

In the publicity department, you've become a mascot again. Forget about doing any work; you'd better just relax and reflect!

Of course, the propaganda department also received verbal reprimands from other leaders for their poor performance. Why didn't you dare to fight against Yang Guangming?

Secretary Nie's words, "Useless things," brought shame upon the entire propaganda department.

They all hated Yang Guangming to death. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been punished and suffered this injustice!
