Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Wang Zhiguo's appointment has been confirmed. He will work in the General Office of the Party Secretary as the second-in-command. His direct superior is Liu Juan, Secretary Nie's secretary.

Yang Ligong knew how to avoid suspicion and didn't treat his son as if he were under his own nose.

He was certain that Secretary Nie wouldn't cause trouble for his son. Just as he had told Li Huaide, a mere section chief was nothing to them; he was the same no matter where he was.

To be honest, a section chief-level cadre doesn't even have the qualifications to report to people like Yang Ligong and Li Huaide.

The difference in levels is too great.

However, Wang Zhiguo still shamelessly went to greet Secretary Nie.

Although Secretary Nie had scolded his own father, it was during a democratic life meeting, which was harmless.

Normally, it's fine as long as he doesn't scold her. Wang Zhiguo has the magnanimity to do that. Does he really want to give Secretary Nie a hard time?

That's like an old man who's tired of living, hanging himself.

No matter what, Secretary Nie is still a vice-minister, the same rank as my grandfather, only the two have different powers.

After hearing the report from his secretary Liu Juan, Secretary Nie still decided to meet with Wang Zhiguo, just to give face to Old Wang and Yang Ligong.

Wang Zhiguo entered the office, bowed slightly, and greeted Secretary Nie respectfully:

"Secretary, hello. I'm Wang Zhiguo, the new guy. I'll be working under you from now on."

His tone was devoid of flattery or servility; it contained only the most basic respect and reporting that a subordinate should show to their superior.

Secretary Nie glanced at him briefly; he could tell at a glance what kind of person he was.

Indeed, very good; proper and respectful, neither humble nor arrogant.

Of course, this confidence also comes from his family background. If it were anyone else, would you dare talk to me like that? I'd beat you to a pulp!

But you came empty-handed, which makes me a little unhappy!

But Secretary Nie outwardly showed a faint smile:

"Zhiguo, you've arrived! I've long heard of your reputation as a talented scholar from Peking University, and seeing you today confirms that you are indeed a man of exceptional talent."

"Don't rush into work. Take a few days to familiarize yourself with the job, and let Liu Juan guide you."

"Yes, Secretary, I will get familiar with it as soon as possible."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go now." Secretary Nie waved his hand.

Wang Zhiguo respectfully withdrew.

Secretary Nie was too lazy to argue with Wang Zhiguo.

If you don't want to get along with me, I'm too lazy to even bother with you.

Logically speaking, you are the youngest among the juniors. Who are you trying to impress by pretending to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of your elders?

Your father, Yang Ligong, is a junior in front of me, and he treats him with utmost respect. You little bastard who hasn't even grown a hair yet is acting like a tyrant.

Logically and emotionally, how could someone of Wang Zhiguo's level be qualified to interview him? He came empty-handed, how dare he? Secretary Nie felt ashamed for him.

Although accepting gifts isn't common, you still have to put on a good show. Whether I accept them or not is up to me.

How can I refuse a gift from you?

The worst part is you didn't even send it!

Of course, Secretary Nie wouldn't bring up such a thing; it's not his place to teach other people's younger generation.

Yang Ligong felt a headache coming on when he heard that his son had visited Secretary Nie empty-handed.

I forgot to remind him to bring some cigarettes and alcohol; what a jerk.

Old Wang from the Ministry of Metallurgy also heard about his grandson's actions, and was somewhat amused and exasperated, muttering to himself:

"We have to give this gift. Qiangqiang miscalculated this time. That old bastard Nie Wuji is as petty as a sesame seed or a mung bean."

Of course, it was just a minor incident, nothing serious, and can be fixed later.

A young, unmarried section chief has joined the General Office of the Party Secretary. He came from the Ministry of Metallurgy and is only 23 years old.

Now everyone seemed to smell something foul.

This is a promising young talent; we must act quickly, or he'll be devoured by someone else.

Being demoted to a section chief means your family background is definitely not simple; you have to seize this opportunity.

In the office, the young, unmarried female colleagues all started to have their own ideas.

They're all sitting in offices now, they're not stupid, who the hell doesn't want to advance!

Such a promising young man has a bright future ahead of him; we should invest in him now.

They've already missed several opportunities.

For example, Li Jiuzhou, the most outstanding young man in the factory.

He was just a chef back then, and now he's a deputy secretary! Who would have thought? I absolutely regret it now.

And then there were Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and the others; they had all been beaten to it long ago.

Gossip spreads quickly in the factory, reaching every corner in no time.

Wang Zhiguo is fairly good-looking, and at 1.75 meters tall, he is considered tall.

He's been getting familiar with the factory these past few days. Secretary Nie gave him a note allowing him to look around.

Wang Zhiguo also felt that it would be good to familiarize himself with the factory's structure so that he could start his work in the future.

With the note approved by the Party Secretary, he could move freely throughout the factory, and while observing the workers, he would occasionally observe the people as well.

For example, some beautiful lesbians.

As the saying goes, a man's true nature is what he is, and Wang Zhiguo is no exception.

Upon seeing the graceful and fair-skinned Tong Jie in the fifth canteen—a top-tier young married woman—Wang Zhiguo felt a surge of irresistible attraction.

I saw Qin Huairu in the reception hall again, and I almost couldn't move.

Qin Huairu, being a very intelligent person, immediately noticed Wang Zhiguo's ill-intentioned gaze.

She was a little angry, but also felt sorry for Wang Zhiguo; the boy probably had never been with a woman before.

Another point is that she was afraid her husband would wander over and see Wang Zhiguo's lecherous behavior.

Given her husband's personality, she wouldn't kill him, but giving him a good beating wouldn't be a problem.

Just as Qin Huairu was trying to figure out how to get Wang Zhiguo to leave, Sha Zhu arrived as expected.

As soon as he entered, he saw Wang Zhiguo staring at his wife, and he immediately flew into a rage.

He immediately reprimanded Wang Zhiguo:

"You son of a bitch, what the hell are you looking at? I'll gouge your eyes out, you believe me?"

Wang Zhiguo was still a little embarrassed when he came to his senses. He had been caught peeking at a female comrade. How awkward!

But is it reasonable for you to yell at me like that?

"Who are you? Why are you shouting like that? I'm the newly appointed section chief in the General Office. Secretary Nie asked me to familiarize myself with the factory's affairs."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately recognized the person in front of him; he had also come after receiving a notification.

He looked him up and down, and said in an unfriendly tone:

"Secretary Nie sent you on this inspection tour, that's fine, but I didn't tell you to stare at those women. That's my wife, do you have a death wish?"

"You think Yang Ligong's son's all that? Get out of here right now! You're not allowed to set foot here again, or I'll break your legs!"

Wang Zhiguo was both ashamed and angry, and for a moment he couldn't refute Sha Zhu.

The main problem is that I got caught. If it were someone else, it wouldn't be so bad, but it happened to be someone else's husband, which is really awkward.

The key point is that they also know that he is Yang Ligong's son.

Wang Zhiguo had to re-evaluate the person in front of him:

"How should we address a comrade?"

Sha Zhu was extremely disdainful, and he was almost ready to make a move:

"Tch, you idiot, you're not worthy to know my name. Get out of here right now, or I might just beat you to death!"

"Fine, you've got guts, just you wait!" To avoid losing face, Wang Zhiguo uttered a harsh remark and slunk away.

Sha Zhu was angry and yelled at his wife:

"Qin Huairu, you come here right now! Are you even going to class? If not, get out of here and go home!"

Qin Huairu walked up to Sha Zhu with a wronged expression:

"Zhu Zi, why are you getting angry at me? What does it matter to me that your wife is pretty? I didn't let him see her."

"You..." Sha Zhu was speechless after being rebuked.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu could only comfort him:

"Okay, okay, I'll reward you properly when we get home tonight. Just stay still, alright?"

Sha Zhu blushed upon hearing this and muttered, "That...that's more like it..."
