Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Li Jiuzhou didn't expect Yi Zhonghai's reaction to be so strong:

"Director Yi, don't worry."

Yi Zhonghai's face was full of grievance:

"Factory manager, this concerns my future, how can I not be worried?"

"To be honest, that day Director Yang sent his nephew to question me, or rather, he directly ordered me to go work at the No. 1 factory."

"How could I possibly agree to that?"

"I've worked for the factory most of my life, how can I just leave like that? Besides, my home is here too."

"If I were ten years younger, I would have given it my all, but I'm not young anymore, and I can't afford to take any more risks."

"They won't let me see them. The factory's two heads, the production and safety departments, come to find fault with me every day. They'll scold me for even the smallest things."

"Boss, Jiuzhou, I'm begging you, please don't transfer me to the First Steel Rolling Mill."

Yi Zhonghai spoke with great emotion, making Li Jiuzhou feel somewhat reluctant to do so.

The person before me was tall and imposing, with an air of righteousness, but in reality, he was a cunning and treacherous individual...

But they just made a contribution to the factory, so we can't just discard them after they've served their purpose.

Besides, Li Jiuzhou and he also had a neighborly connection.

"Director Yi, don't worry, we're not stopping you out of respect."

Li Jiuzhou handed him a cigarette:

"Now that things are clear, we will ask for your opinion on whether or not you want to go to the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. There's no need to be afraid."

Hearing Li Jiuzhou say this, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't directly transferred there, everything would be fine.

He couldn't help but curse Yang Ligong in his heart again. It's true that I was promoted by you, but the problem is that you didn't treat me like a human being. Damn Yang Ligong!

Li Jiuzhou also secretly remembered Yang Ligong's arrangement for two departments to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai.

Who the hell is this red star?

You, Yang Ligong, are even giving orders remotely? You're not treating my Li family uncle and nephew like human beings at all.

This isn't about helping Yi Zhonghai; it's about power slipping out of control.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Li Jiuzhou, and even Li Huaide was not happy about it.

You, a former factory director who has already been transferred, are still able to command your former unit.

Then what am I, the secretary?

Upon learning of this, Li Huaide knew what to do without his nephew even needing to speak.

As the person in charge of personnel matters, Li Huaide had too much room to maneuver; he could remove you at will.

You like helping Yang Ligong with his affairs, right? Fine, go sit on the sidelines.

When the top leader spoke, the two people who were working for Yang Ligong were completely stunned.

In the end, they had no choice but to swagger over to Yang Ligong for help.

After all, I ended up in this situation because I did something for you. If you don't lend a hand, what will people think of you? Will anyone still want to follow you, Yang Ligong?

Yang Ligong was also stunned; now he was in a bit of an awkward situation.

He has the right, that's true, but he's only been at the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill for a short time, and he hasn't even settled in yet. There are still many things that haven't been sorted out yet.

It's really not good to interfere too much in personnel matters, but you can't just not do it at all, otherwise the team will fall apart and it will be hard to lead.

We had no choice but to resort to other means and get our father involved. There was no other way; Yang Ligong's prestige wasn't high enough, so we had to call in reinforcements.

Furthermore, rumors circulated that Director Yang Ligong valued Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-grade fitter from Hongxing Steel Plant, who was his old subordinate, and wanted to transfer him to the First Steel Rolling Mill for proper training.

As a result, Yi Zhonghai refused. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity? Back then, it was Director Yang who promoted you. Why are you unwilling?

Isn't this ungrateful?

Factory Director Yang generously stated that everyone has their own aspirations, and wherever they are, they are serving the country and the people. It doesn't matter; as long as Master Yi does his job well, he will live up to his efforts.

Goodness, after the news spread, many people praised Yang Ligong highly.

Even more secret information has been leaked, supposedly from Director Yang's private remarks.

The message is as follows:

"Those who betray me are all promoted to section chief, director; those who will remain loyal to me in the future will become division chiefs and deputy directors!"

Oh my! After the news of Yang Ligong spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones spread, his reputation soared within the system of various factories.

Moreover, the facts are clear: the two people who were kicked out by Li Huaide were promoted from deputy director to director.

Promoting two people at the same time, Yang Ligong certainly had great courage.

These two were practically kneeling before Yang Ligong. They thought they were about to be abandoned, but they never expected Director Yang to be so supportive.

If you will not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!

The Ministry of Metallurgical Industry simply laughed off Yang Ligong and Wang Lao's shady dealings.

This can be considered a small compensation for Yang Ligong.

The Ministry of Metallurgy originally favored Yang Ligong, but unfortunately, he was a bit unlucky.

Damn it, I've been a factory manager for almost ten years. I have some achievements, but I've also made mistakes.

Overall, however, Yang Ligong is a commendable cadre; he is capable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the director of the First Steel Rolling Mill.

It should be noted that the First Steel Rolling Mill's strength was comparable to that of Red Star.

If it weren't for Red Star's relentless efforts over the past few years, we wouldn't be where we are today.

If things develop normally, the First Factory could have won several Red Star awards. If the two factory directors were sitting at the same table drinking, then Li Jiuzhou would have to toast Yang Ligong!

The fact that Yang Ligong has been transferred to a different post is an affirmation of his past contributions and achievements. With some effort, he may be able to make further progress.

If he can't be the head of Red Star, then he can be the head of the First Steel Rolling Mill.

They're all top leaders, so does Yang Ligong really have a choice?

Yang Ligong said, "Boss, I'm not picky, I'll take whatever you give me."

The truth is that the position of head of the No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill was prepared for Yang Ligong.

Their Party Secretary is also being transferred, not for a promotion, but for a lateral move to a local government position. Rumor has it that he will be appointed as the vice mayor of a city in Anhui Province.

The reason for adding a deputy mayor is that the power level does not allow it.

The Party Secretary of the First Steel Rolling Mill was already prepared to become the mayor, and the connections were in place.

Unfortunately, it didn't pass the Organization Department's test. The Organization Department gave a very fair evaluation: "The ability doesn't allow it"—just those five words, which showed absolutely no respect for anyone.

I heard that the Party Secretary of the First Steel Rolling Mill was so angry he almost vomited blood after learning about the Organization Department's evaluation. Thank you so much!

He was used to being the top leader, and even if he wasn't the Party Secretary, he could have been the Mayor. But he ended up as a Deputy Mayor, which is worse than being the Party Secretary in the factory.

It's too late to regret it now; when the time comes, I'll take office.

Now it was Yang Ligong's turn to be laughing his head off; good fortune had finally turned in his favor.

Moreover, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry has already conducted an investigation, and the process for appointing Yang Ligong as the Party Secretary of the First Steel Rolling Mill is already underway.

Upon hearing the news, Li Jiuzhou couldn't help but admire Yang Ligong's luck.

But don't worry, according to the plot, Yang Ligong will be sent to sweep the floor sooner or later. I just don't know who will give him Erguotou and peanuts this time.

Yang Ligong: "Who do you think you are, baijiu and peanuts? Even a dog wouldn't eat that..."

Years later, Yang Ligong said, "If the dog won't eat it, I will..."
