Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Yang Guangming got a little drunk at his third uncle's house and didn't go home that night. Yang Ligong asked him to stay overnight.

The next day, I took him to work at the factory.

On the way, Yang Ligong promised to get revenge for his nephew.

Shortly after starting work, Yang Ligong asked his temporary secretary (Yang Yulan was pregnant and temporarily unable to handle matters) to inform Secretary Nie and Deputy Secretary Li Huaide.

We're planning to meet up as a group of three and have a private chat.

The three of them went to a small office, which was only used by the three of them to hold meetings.

The secretary made hot tea and then left.

Yang Ligong needed someone's help, so he prepared things in advance. He took out two packs of cigarettes and two bags of tea from the drawer.

"Comrades, help me burn some calories."

Li Huaide wore a strange smile:

"Old Yang, the weasel is offering New Year's greetings to the chicken; it's up to no good."

"Tell me what it is, and I'll do everything I can for you."

Yang Ligong found Li Huaide's words very pleasing. Although they were competitors, they couldn't fight each other for the next few years because the factory was expanding and they had to unite against external forces.

Secretary Nie also had a smile on his face, echoing Li Huaide's words:

"You've done a good job. You had your secretary notify us to come over for a meeting, so it must not be for official business, but for personal matters."

"I mean the same thing as Huaide: just tell us what you need, and we'll do what we can."

"It wouldn't be impossible to promote your nephew by another level."

The three of them are chatting privately, so they are being very casual with each other.

After hearing Secretary Nie's words, Yang Ligong showed a look of disappointment and frustration:

"To be honest with you both, it really is about my nephew Yang Guangming."

Upon hearing that it was about Yang Guangming, Li Huaide immediately frowned.

"Old Yang, just take what the Party Secretary says with a grain of salt. If you actually promote him, people will have something to say about it."

"If he were exceptionally capable, he would be promoted, but the problem is he's not qualified yet."

Secretary Nie wasn't angry at Li Huaide for undermining him; he still had a smiling face.

Yang Ligong realized that Li Huaide had misunderstood and explained:

"Old Li, you've misunderstood, it's not about that."

Neither Li Huaide nor Secretary Nie spoke, but looked at Yang Ligong with questioning eyes.

Yang Ligong was somewhat hesitant to speak, but he genuinely needed their help, so he finally said it:

"My nephew got cheated on, what a misfortune for the family, damn it!"

"Oh my..."

For a moment, both Secretary Nie and Li Huaide showed strange and curious expressions.

Since he had already spoken, Yang Ligong didn't intend to hide anything and began to explain.

After a long while, having understood the whole story, neither of you knew what to say.

Secretary Nie, puffing on his cigarette, said in a low voice:

"So, your nephew Yang Guangming has been dating his girlfriend for almost a year, and he didn't go to jail himself, but someone else did?"

"That's fucking ridiculous! Yang Guangming has that kind of thing, he's completely disgraced us!"

"Cough cough cough..." Li Huaide almost choked to death by Secretary Nie's words. This old man never fails to make a shocking statement.

"So... Old Yang, what do you mean by calling us here?" Li Huaide asked, revealing Yang Ligong's purpose in summoning them.

Yang Ligong said angrily:

"The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable. If Dong Tianbao can't raise his son, then I'll teach him a lesson!"

"If it were someone else, it would be one thing to let their relatives run rampant like this, but they've come after me, Yang Ligong."

"If I were to cower like a coward, wouldn't people laugh at me for not even being able to protect my nephew?"

Secretary Nie smiled faintly:

"You've done a great service! If you put it that way, I won't be sleepy anymore. That's more like it. If someone slaps you, you have to retaliate tenfold."

"Find someone to sleep with Dong Tianbao's wife and cuckold him!"

Yang Ligong looked troubled upon hearing this:

"Boss, please stop joking. Give me some advice. I'm determined to get back at Dong Tianbao."

Li Huaide also became interested:

"I agree. Back then, my niece-in-law, who is also Jiuzhou's husband, worked in a textile factory."

"I went to help my niece-in-law change her job. At that time, Dong Tianbao started complaining a bit, but I was very busy and didn't pay much attention to it."

"Since you're taking the lead now, Lao Yang, let's take care of him while we're at it."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Nie looked at the two of them:

"Then...shall we do it?"

"Let's do it!" they both answered in unison.

Secretary Nie made the decision:

"Alright, now the three-person Party Committee group of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is of one mind and has decided to take down Dong Tianbao, the director of the textile mill!"

Li Huaide was the first to raise a question:

"So, the question is, what do we do?"

"We are a steel mill; textile mills have nothing to do with us, and we don't have any financial dealings with them, so it's difficult for us to take action."

At this moment, Yang Ligong smiled:

"There is still cooperation. The day before yesterday, they came to order a batch of steel nails and wanted to build a few lathes, but they haven't started yet."

Secretary Nie's eyes lit up:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's cancel and say we're busy, since we haven't been paid yet."

Yang Ligong was delighted to hear this, as it was exactly what Secretary Nie had said. He could make the decision on his own, but it would be somewhat troublesome.

If the three-person group shares the same goal, then there's no problem. So, he looked at Li Huaide:

"Old Li, what do you think?"

Li Huaide smiled:

"That's not quite enough. Now that I've taken action, I'm going to make a scene."

"They're also expanding, aren't they? So rob them of their resources and poach their people."

"I heard the textile factory has good electrician and welder skills. Let's poach them and give Dong Tianbao a good beating."

Secretary Nie stroked his chin:

"Interesting. Let's do it this way. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Yang Ligong was also very happy that the matter was settled:

"Thank you both."

Secretary Nie was not polite at all:

"Don't thank me yet. Consider this a payment: I'll provide you with cigarettes and tea for six months. Who would you be embarrassed to accept this little bit?"

Li Huaide immediately chimed in:

"Um... I'll just be like the Party Secretary!"

Yang Ligong gritted his teeth and agreed. What else could he do after they had already spoken? He could only let his father suffer and then just go along with it.

I am his son, what's his is mine, why make such a distinction!

Under the arrangement of the three giants of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, the textile factory's order was directly returned.

At the textile factory, the deputy factory director hurriedly went to find the factory director, Dong Tianbao.

"Factory manager, something bad has happened. Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has returned the order we received."

Dong Tianbao raised an eyebrow:

"What? It's been returned? What's the reason?"

The deputy factory director said anxiously:

Their excuse was that they were too busy and lacked sufficient productivity!

Dong Tianbao slammed his fist on the table:

"Bullshit! How can there be insufficient production capacity? Quickly call their factory manager, Yang Ligong, and ask him!"

Deputy Factory Director:

"When we asked, Director Yang's answer was very firm: the production capacity was insufficient, and he told us to go to the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill."

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianbao frowned deeply. This batch of steel ingots was very important; their factory also needed to expand, and it would be very troublesome without these items.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll call Yang Ligong myself."
