Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Faced with his father's demands, he agreed to hand over 13 yuan of his monthly salary of 18 yuan and keep 5 yuan for himself.

After careful consideration, Yan Jiecheng agreed, mainly because his father had also taken care of his house.

Although it's a reverse-facing room, at least you can have your own room.

You can either eat with your parents or cook separately.

No matter what I say, I won't lose. Besides, my dad said he'd give me 13 yuan a month, so am I really supposed to give it to him?

When the time comes, it's easy to cheat a few dollars out of my salary.

Whoever acts honestly will suffer the most, and Yan Jiecheng's smile grew brighter the more he thought about it.

Why do fathers and sons have to be so calculating? If the father wants to calculate, let him calculate; I'm not going to fall for his tricks.

Yan Bugui failed to notice his son's thoughts, believing that his own arrangement was the safest.

For less than two thousand yuan, I arranged a job for my eldest son, a car for him, and even a future wedding home for him.

Yan Bugui felt the money was well spent, mainly because there was a comparison.

With honest men like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong offering their prices beforehand—1800 and 2000 respectively—the situation became clear.

Now Yan Bugui has solved three things for less than 2000 yuan, which is great value for money, so he doesn't feel bad about spending it.

The next day was a day off, and the Yan family father and son went out early in the morning, picking up a brand new Forever brand 28-inch motorcycle.

As soon as Yang Ruihua entered the courtyard, she couldn't wait to tie a big red flower to the front of her new car.

He also informed his neighbors that his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, had been successfully recruited into the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill as a proud worker.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at each other, both showing embarrassed expressions.

They didn't expect that Yan Bugui would actually get things done.

It seems he has some unusual connections.

It's obvious to anyone that Yan Bugui's price for the workstations this time is definitely lower than the price they offered.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to outsiders.

This made the two of them a little uneasy. They had originally thought they could take Yan Bugui by the back of their hand, but the other party had decided not to play anymore.

But it doesn't matter. They're not afraid of offending Yan Bugui. He's just a primary school dean of students. He'll be fine once you become the principal.

Anyway, the two of them don't really take Yan Bugui seriously anymore. If they offend him, so be it. What's there to be afraid of?

Yan Bugui was an extremely vengeful person, and he planned to secretly give the two of them a big beating.

He had already found out almost everything about the inside story of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in order to get a workstation for his son.

Knowing that the factory was expanding and would be promoting some of its grassroots cadres, Yan Bugui saw this as an opportunity.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai noticed the frequent activity between the two men.

They even paid people to buy information, deliberately finding two people to buy and sell workstations, and they even succeeded.

Of course, the person who bought the workstation was real; Yan Bugui had handled everything flawlessly, he was just hiding in the shadows.

To ensure thoroughness, Yan Bugui wrote more than a dozen letters of complaint, and the names of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were clearly among them.

This was also Yan Bugui's plan to fish in troubled waters. Reporting two people individually would be easy to be discovered, so what if I reported more than a dozen at once?

The whistleblower letter was sent to three places: the factory director, Secretary Nie, and Deputy Secretary Li Huaide.

Yan Bugui refused to believe he couldn't handle the two of them; in any case, this way no one could suspect him.

It can be said that Yan Bugui has unleashed an unprecedented ultimate move this time!

Once the Ghost Blade is activated, you can't see it anymore; just keep moving...

Xu Damao escaped this calamity because he was not of the same generation as Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui originally wanted to bring him along, but then thought better of it.

Yan Bugui acted very discreetly, and he was confident that normal methods could not trace him.

At Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, the frequent activities of grassroots cadres are all driven by the desire for promotion. These opportunities are rare, and once missed, they may never come again.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had already made arrangements, sending their backers a considerable amount of money and gifts.

I'm really hoping to get a permanent position this time; I've even been on the promotion list.

Both of them wanted to be promoted to deputy section chief, get rid of the "worker-in-training" system, and become real cadres.

As a result, something happened.

After receiving the whistleblower letter, Secretary Nie urgently contacted the three-person team to meet.

The three of them were dumbfounded as they looked at the dozen or so letters of complaint on the table.

Both Secretary Nie and Li Huaide wore faint smiles.

Because these dozen or so people had absolutely no connection to them; 99% of them were from Yang Ligong's line of work.

They were already being very polite to Yang Ligong by not laughing out loud.

Yang Ligong slammed his fist on the table:

"Bang! What nonsense! How can they allow buying and selling workstations? What are they doing? It's outrageous!"

He had to state his position: this was a hidden benefit, which could be done however one wanted in private, but now that it had been exposed, it had to be dealt with seriously.

Seeing that the names in more than a dozen complaint letters were all his people, Yang Ligong was furious.

Who the hell is going against him?

His gaze immediately fell on Li Huaide; of the three, only he knew how to do such a thing.

Li Huaide immediately understood after noticing Yang Ligong's malicious gaze:

"Comrade Ligong, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I, Li Huaide, did this kind of thing?"

Yang Ligong's gaze was profound:

"Comrade Huai De, I have to suspect you, since you're the one who's on my radar."

Li Huaide shrugged, not even bothering to explain:

"Fine, since that's what you think, I'll take the blame. It was me who did it. What are you going to do about it? Bit me?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Yang Ligong immediately ruled out his suspicion.

Opponents often know their opponents best, and Yang Ligong trusted him.

"If it's not you, then who is it?" Yang Ligong asked, turning his gaze to Secretary Nie.

Li Huaide also looked at Secretary Nie with a puzzled expression!

The bright smile on Secretary Nie's face vanished, replaced by a look of exasperation:

"Damn it, what are you looking at me for? Did I do this, you bastard!"

"It's possible..." Yang Ligong said calmly.

Li Huaide nodded: "It's not impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Nie immediately launched into a tirade of profanities:

"You fucking think you're so special? Do you two bastards deserve this?"

"A bunch of low-level cadres, not even department heads, what position do I have to keep an eye on these people?"

"Think about it carefully. These people must have offended someone. It shouldn't be that they were after Comrade Li Gong."

After being thoroughly scolded by Secretary Nie, the two lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.

He can insult himself, but he can't insult him.

After a long silence, Yang Ligong spoke again:

"What should we do then? If this gets out of hand, it'll be hard to handle."

Secretary Nie gave Yang Ligong a disapproving look:

"Get your act together and return whatever you took immediately."

"Don't say I, the Party Secretary, didn't warn you when the case is filed and investigated."

"Also, tell them to keep their mouths shut and not to talk nonsense, or they won't even be able to keep their current positions."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ligong broke out in a cold sweat. Secretary Nie was right; this was the key point.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

"Then let's handle it internally, without notifying the whole factory, right?" Li Huaide said.

Secretary Nie nodded. How could this kind of thing be exposed?

Once exposed, they're all finished, and they'll lose all their benefits.

They're all making a fortune together, who would be stupid enough to tell anyone?

It must have been these people who slipped up and got caught when they were buying and selling workstations.

What an idiot!
