Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Sha Zhu still listened to Li Jiuzhou; if he said to wait, then he would wait.

As the canteen director of the steel rolling mill, He Daqing was the first person to be investigated when the higher-ups came.

He Daqing told the truth, after all, he really didn't do anything.

He secretly wished he could skin Yang Renyi alive.

The details of the spectacle weren't fully understood until the afternoon of the following day.

Yang Renyi, a kitchen worker, was a spy who poisoned hundreds of workers by adding rat poison to the large batch of food being cooked.

Fortunately, no one died from the poisoning, and the factory manager, Lou Bancheng, promised to compensate the poisoned workers.

The steel rolling mill has two canteens, Canteen No. 1 and Canteen No. 2.

The No. 1 canteen was where Yang Renyi worked, so it did not affect the entire area.

He Daqing was not so lucky; Lou Bancheng spoke with him.

It wasn't that Lou Bancheng wanted to deal with him; he had no choice but to.

He Daqing must at least bear the blame for inadequate supervision.

They paid a considerable sum of money and reluctantly fired He Daqing.

That's right, it opened. He Daqing was immediately exposed and left Lou's Steel Rolling Mill with his belongings, his back looking desolate.

He Daqing felt wronged. He thought, "I didn't do anything wrong, so why fire me?"

Back at No. 95 Courtyard, Sha Zhu and Li Jiuzhou had a big drinking session and got completely drunk.

Li Jiuzhou didn't know if there was a poisoning incident in the original story, and even if there was, it had nothing to do with He Daqing.

Because by then he had already gone to Baoding.

Li Jiuzhou understood clearly that He Daqing was not wronged.

As the canteen manager, the responsibility is considerable.

Safety is the top priority, and it's clear that He Daqing failed to do so properly.

The country now attaches great importance to the steel industry, and Lou's Steel Rolling Mill is within the scope of key attention.

Therefore, the cafeteria manager must deal with this, and absolutely must deal with it!

The workers are also worried that the poisoning incident will happen again; they came here to work and earn money, that's for sure!

Nobody wants to risk their life!

Furthermore, He Daqing's outdated management style is practically the same as not managing at all.

Therefore, for various reasons, He Daqing had to be removed.

Following the poisoning incident at Lou's Steel Rolling Mill, all industries have strengthened their management practices.

Fengzeyuan is no exception; you can't bring anything with you before entering the kitchen, and you have to go elsewhere to smoke.

Li Jiuzhou understood; safety was important, and he just needed to cooperate.

It's already very humane that they didn't give you a routine body search.

Routine body searches are now being conducted in the kitchens of steel rolling mills to prevent sabotage by enemy agents.

Jia Dongxu was hospitalized for three days and then returned home. The factory gave him a compensation of one million yuan!

For the first few days, Jia Zhangshi cursed and swore, and he cursed all the leaders of the steel rolling mill.

He Daqing was scolded by her, but after receiving a million yuan from the brick, his attitude immediately changed and he started saying nice things.

Boss Lou is truly a good person...

Yi Zhonghai was quite happy, as he and his apprentice were both safe and sound, and he even received a million yuan in compensation.

What made him happiest was that He Daqing Steel Rolling Mill had opened, which was worth celebrating. Yi Zhonghai asked his wife to buy some meat to nourish him.

When Yi Zhonghai learned that He Daqing had become the canteen manager at the steel rolling mill, he was extremely jealous.

Damn it, how did a cook like you become a leader?

Is Boss Lou blind?

Unexpectedly, fortunes change, and many who envied He Daqing back then are now laughing at him.

As a result, Sha Zhu was also secretly pointed at and gossiped about.

Xu Damao was the first to be targeted. Upon learning of this, he immediately went to mock Sha Zhu. As expected, he was brutally beaten by Sha Zhu, and almost shit himself!

Even three adults couldn't stop the enraged Sha Zhu. It was only after Li Jiuzhou intervened that the matter was resolved, and they ended up paying some medicine as compensation.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Damao was utterly humiliated and harbored a deep grudge against Sha Zhu, secretly vowing to give him a good beating sooner or later...

The one who suffered the most was Bai Lian. She had gone home for lunch that day, bringing with her the special meal that He Daqing had prepared for her.

She was terrified. What if she had been poisoned and it had affected her unborn child?

Now things are great, her husband has been fired from the factory, which used to be a monthly income of over a million!

It's not that she regrets marrying He Daqing; after all, marrying He Daqing is a blessing.

But now that Fu Kuai is gone, He Daqing is unemployed.

So she cried and sobbed at home.

He Daqing couldn't stand it anymore and scolded:

"Why are you crying? It's just a job. With my cooking skills, I can find any job I want. Besides, we're not short of money now."

"It's a good time to rest. Once things calm down, I'll ask my old buddies to find me some work."

Bai Lian ignored him and went back to her room to sleep.

He Daqing could only manage a wry smile upon seeing this...

Many of the residents in courtyard number 95 were employees of the steel rolling mill, but only Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai were poisoned.

During their hospital stay, Liu Haizhong visited the two of them frequently.

That's right, they just went to see, empty-handed and without any other gifts, their main purpose was to offer condolences...

Liu Hai felt a mix of relief and schadenfreude. He was just lucky he hadn't been involved in the factory poisoning incident...

Xu Damao's father in the backyard was quite low-key, mainly avoiding trouble, because he always cleaned up Xu Damao's messes.

Yan Bugui was overjoyed; he was the happiest person to see He Daqing suffer such misfortune.

The day He Daqing's punishment was announced, the Yan family ate meat and drank wine to their hearts' content.

They were just short of setting off fireworks to celebrate.

The Yan family made no attempt to hide their joy, and many neighbors noticed it.

Sha Zhu was furious; this was clearly a case of them not taking him seriously!

But he had no reason to go and cause trouble!

What reason do you have to say that your family celebrated by eating meat after my dad was fired?

This reason is untenable, and Li Jiuzhou is also blocking it.

"Senior brother, I can't swallow this insult. I've been going crazy these past few days."

"That bastard Yan Bugui is always making fun of me, you know? Even though he doesn't swear, what he says is even worse than swear words!"

"I fucking want to beat him to death!"

"Xu Damao came to mock me, and Yan Bugui wants to join in the fun, so let's fight!"

Sha Zhu vented his emotions from the past few days in Li Jiuzhou's room.

Li Jiuzhou snorted coldly:

"Alright, alright, fighting is so boring. Use your brain. No matter how strong your fists are, can they beat a bullet?"

"What if I accidentally kill someone?"

"Don't you dare throw your temper at me like that again!"

Xu Damao deserved a slap on the lips, and Li Jiuzhou didn't want to defend him.

However, Yan Bugui's sarcastic and unsettling manner is truly annoying.

They didn't do anything, but it's like they did everything. That's what intellectuals are like—full of cunning and deceit!

And you can't do anything about him from the front, which is really infuriating, you know?

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down.

"Then what do you suggest, senior brother? I feel terrible if I don't swallow this anger."

Li Jiuzhou already had a plan in mind, and comforted Shazhu:

"Don't rush, let's talk about it later. If something happens to the Yan family now, anyone with eyes can see that you did it."

"Let's wait a while, then give them a big one!"

"oh..."
