Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

When Sha Zhu got home, he was about to beat Qin Huairu up, but the woman seemed to have come to her senses and took the initiative to admit her mistakes to Sha Zhu.

This made Sha Zhu too embarrassed to take action again, so the couple calmly explained the whole situation in detail.

Qin Huairu was a smart person, and she understood after hearing Sha Zhu's explanation.

I was indeed blinded by greed before, thinking that my family would become rich and powerful because of my senior brother Li Jiuzhou, so I wanted to help my family members.

In fact, there's nothing wrong with thinking that way, but the premise is that you have to be Li Jiuzhou's wife.

What kind of official is Sha Zhu? He's just a section chief, the head of the canteen—a nobody.

To think that one person's success would bring benefits to their entire family and friends is simply wishful thinking.

Li Jiuzhou will definitely promote Shazhu, but not now. As long as Shazhu continues to work step by step, he will be promoted sooner or later. But not now, because he hasn't been promoted long enough and hasn't made any achievements yet.

After the couple talked for a while, Qin Huairu snuggled up in Sha Zhu's arms.

This made Sha Zhu feel hot all over. Looking at his son who was still playing in the living room, he smiled at Qin Huairu and said:

"Honey, go and put the baby to sleep first. I'm going to take a shower, and I'll take good care of you later, hehehe..."

Qin Huairu blushed and nodded in agreement.

She thought to herself, "He was cursing me and trying to beat me up a while ago, and now he wants to get into my bed?"

It's not that easy.

Just you wait, I'll make you regret this...

That night, Sha Zhu really suffered. Qin Huairu kept demanding him tirelessly, and when he woke up in the morning, he felt dizzy and his legs were weak.

In contrast, Qin Huairu was radiant and full of energy.

Back at the hospital, Liu Guangqi felt like he was basking in a warm breeze. Brother Zhou promised him that he would be promoted to section chief once he reached the level 10 technician.

Liu Guangqi had no reason not to trust him. Zhou Ge was the factory manager, and his word was law. Besides, Zhu Zi was also there; he was a witness.

As he approached home, Liu Guangqi immediately changed his demeanor, feigning disappointment.

Seeing his son's expression, Liu Haizhong knew things were hopeless and comforted him:

"Son, forget it, just focus on your work."

"I understand, Dad. I'm going to sleep now." After saying that, he picked up the cloth bag and went back to his room.

He didn't give the cigarettes and alcohol to his own father; he had other uses for them.

Liu Guangqi set a goal for himself: to improve his technical skills to level 10 within two years.

Forget about romance for now, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work like crazy.

What kind of wife do you marry based on your own circumstances? Once I'm promoted to section chief, will I still be afraid of not being able to marry a beautiful wife?

As for Qin Jingru?

That's just a fond memory.

Moreover, secrets are kept secret and leaks lead to ruin; he will not tell anyone about this, not even his own father.

Li Jiuzhou genuinely hoped that Liu Guangqi could make a breakthrough in technology.

The next day, when he went to the factory, he even specially retrieved Liu Guangqi's records from the two and a half years since he joined the factory.

He performed very well. The factory's chief engineer had a high opinion of him, saying he had a solid technical foundation and was worth training.

That means Li Jiuzhou was right to advise him. If Liu Guangqi can really work hard on his technical skills, then giving him a section chief position is perfectly reasonable.

Factory Director Li never breaks his promises.

Talented people need to be utilized. Having ambition is a good thing. But if you have no desires or wants, why should I use you? Are you just causing me trouble?

So Li Jiuzhou made a phone call and approved another note.

Liu Guangqi was working hard on the technology and drawing blueprints when he was interrupted by his section chief.

"Section Chief, you wanted to see me?" Liu Guangqi respectfully handed over a cigarette.

The section chief said with a half-smile:

"Moo, look at the note personally approved by the factory director. He's assigned you, Technician Liu, a room."

"It's those two newly built rows across your courtyard."

"What? Really?" Liu Guangqi took the cigarette out of his mouth and picked up the note to examine it carefully.

The note clearly stated that Comrade Liu Guangqi of the Technical Section was commended for his enterprising spirit in his work and was given a house as a special incentive.

It has Li Jiuzhou's signature and seal on it.

After confirming the information, Liu Guangqi's excitement was palpable, and he bowed deeply to the section chief.

"With the guidance and support of these section chiefs, Guangqi will definitely work even harder and never slack off."

The section chief laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, why thank me? You earned this through your own hard work."

"Guangqi, I have high hopes for you. Go to the neighborhood office early to pick up the keys today."

"Good leader."

Liu Guangqi didn't delay. He went back to his workstation, tidied up his things, and then rode his bicycle to the street office.

His heart was burning with excitement. This was a house, a brand new 50-square-meter house, one that no one had ever lived in before.

He had wanted to move out for a long time, but no house was available for him.

He expressed his feelings to Brother Jiuzhou yesterday, and the house arrived the next day.

This made Liu Guangqi even more eager to study technology.

The benefits of following the right people are that simple.

Li Jiuzhou's intention was that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass, and make sure it's well-fed.

As soon as Liu Haizhong returned home in the evening, he saw his wife and several sons moving things.

"No, what are you doing?"

His wife, Wang Guilian, beamed with joy:

"Guangqi has been allocated a house. It's in one of those two rows in the courtyard, 50 square meters! Husband, come and help quickly, our son can't wait to move in."

"Damn it, why is the little brat in such a hurry?" Liu Haizhong said with a smile, feeling quite happy inside.

My son got his own room! What a joyous occasion, something to celebrate! He then called out to his busy second son:

"Guangtian, Guangtian'er!"

"What's wrong, Dad?" Liu Guangtian put down what he was holding and came over.

Liu Haizhong took out twenty yuan and a liquor coupon from his pocket and gave them to him:

"Stop what you're doing, go buy a roast duck and a bottle of wine while you're at it. Let's have some good food tonight."

"Alright, just you wait and see!" Liu Guangtian took the money, then took the bicycle from his father and pushed it away quickly.

Liu Haizhong rolled up his sleeves and joined the moving team.

Many neighbors came over to watch the spectacle, and some even offered to lend a hand.

They were envious. A 50-square-meter house, and Liu Guangqi lived there all by himself. How wonderful that must be!

They had no complaints about Liu Guangqi being allocated housing; he was a vocational school graduate and is now a level 14 technician.

They are very eligible to be allocated a house.

They had been making fun of Liu Guangqi before, but they were proven wrong in the blink of an eye.

Especially the Yan family, whose faces darkened as they watched from afar.

Because Yan Bugui had been so eager to get a house, he ended up smelling terrible.

Yan Jiecheng was very unhappy. Liu Guangqi was about the same age as him, yet he lived in a 25-square-meter room in a back-facing building.

Liu Guangqi, on the other hand, got an apartment—a huge 50-square-meter apartment all to himself, and it even has good ventilation from north to south! I'm so envious…

He became even more jealous when he heard his neighbors gossiping about how promising Liu Guangqi was and even offering to introduce him to potential partners.

Previously, everyone was about the same, and the only thing that Liu Guangqi had over him was that he was a vocational school graduate.

Now that others are becoming more and more successful, how can he possibly be happy?

Being overshadowed by someone is bad enough, but what's worse is that this person is your childhood friend and brother.

Logically, we should be happy for our brother when he gets a house.

Then I, Yan Jiecheng, will jump up and punch you in the knee.

I'm happy for you?

I absolutely hate you and want to shut you down!

Why the hell don't you, Liu Guangqi, just die?
