Siheyuan (courtyard house): My father, Li Yunlong!

"Good! Comrade Zhenhua is very conscientious and doesn't pick and choose, but our factory can't be left out! So, that side room, plus the adjacent annex room and that small side room, will all be allocated to Comrade Zhenhua! The side room can be used for living, the annex room can be used as a study or storage room, and the small side room can be cleaned up to store some things or used as a kitchen! It's settled then!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenhua was overjoyed.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

Not only did he successfully obtain the "ticket" to enter Courtyard No. 95, but he also gained an adjacent space, which greatly improved his future planning and living convenience.

He no longer declined and immediately stood up to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Director Yang! Thank you for the organization's care! I will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of the factory leaders!"

Factory Director Yang smiled with satisfaction and personally explained the situation to Section Chief Sun.

"Old Sun, take some men and thoroughly clean these three rooms right away. Repair what needs repairing, and get all the necessary tables, chairs, and beds replaced as soon as possible! Hand over the keys to Section Chief Li today!"

"Yes, yes, factory manager, don't worry, I'll personally oversee it and guarantee that Section Chief Li can move in tonight!"

Director Sun readily agreed, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful.

Factory Director Yang nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Li Zhenhua.

"Zhenhua, now that the housing problem is solved, let's go to the personnel department to complete the onboarding procedures."

"Okay, Director Yang, thank you for your help."

Li Zhenhua responded respectfully.

The personnel department was located on the second floor of the office building. Director Yang personally accompanied them, and the procedures were completed exceptionally smoothly.

When the personnel department staff saw the factory director personally bringing a young man to complete the onboarding process, and upon learning that he was the newly appointed head of the security department, they were exceptionally warm and attentive.

Form filling, file registration, work permit processing...

A series of processes are carried out efficiently.

Soon, a red work ID card with the words "Security Department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill" and the title "Department Chief" printed on it was handed to Li Zhenhua.

At the same time, following Director Yang's instructions, the factory office quickly drafted a notice regarding Comrade Li Zhenhua's appointment and prepared to distribute it to all workshops and departments.

With everything taken care of, Director Yang checked the time and said kindly to Li Zhenhua.

"Zhenhua, you've been busy all morning, running around doing chores. So, don't rush to work this afternoon. Go back and settle in first. Take the house keys and see if you need to buy anything else. Rest for a day, and report to the security department at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

This was exactly what Li Zhenhua wanted to do; he also wanted to see what kind of system he had brought with him when he transmigrated.

Li Zhenhua immediately agreed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Director Yang! I'll go back and settle in today, and I'll definitely be on time tomorrow."

"Good, young man, keep up the good work!"

Director Yang offered a few more words of encouragement before turning and returning to his office.

Li Zhenhua walked out of the steel rolling mill gate with his newly issued work permit in his hand.

The roar of the machines in the factory area still seemed to echo in his ears, but his heart had already flown to Nanluoguxiang.

Without any delay or even having lunch, he started walking briskly towards the city, guided by his past life's memories and the road signs.

The closer you get to the inner city, the narrower the streets and alleys become, and the more vibrant the atmosphere of daily life gradually becomes.

After passing through several alleys, a blue sign with white lettering finally came into view.

Nanluoguxiang.

He took a deep breath, slowed his pace, and carefully searched for the house number.

We found courtyard number 95 quickly.

It was a courtyard gatehouse that looked quite old, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and the brick carvings on the lintel still faintly showed their former exquisiteness.

The gate to the courtyard was ajar, and the sounds of residents talking and children playing could be faintly heard from inside.

Li Zhenhua strode straight in.

The next moment, a crystal-clear, emotionless mechanical voice resounded directly in the depths of his mind:

The host has been detected to have arrived at the designated mission location: No. 95, Nanluoguxiang.

The initial task, "Move into No. 95 Nanluoguxiang Courtyard," has been completed.

[Pinduoduo Mall System...Activation Begins...]

[Energy Injection...10%...50%...100%...]

【Activation succeeded! 】

[Welcome host Li Zhenhua, to the Pinduoduo e-commerce system!]

Li Zhenhua stood frozen in place, his mind reeling as if countless drums were pounding, making his eardrums buzz.

Pinduoduo e-commerce system?

Is he hallucinating because he was too nervous today?

The golden finger that accompanied him through time travel, which he placed great hopes on and believed to be the key to changing his destiny, is this?

In his previous life, as a corporate slave, he often bought cheap goods through group buying on Pinduoduo. But how could he have brought this stuff with him to 1960?

Isn't this art style a bit too peculiar?

Just as he was internally ranting and raving, the mechanical voice sounded again, beginning its system explanation.

This system is a special otherworldly version of Pinduoduo Mall, designed to provide the host with a cross-time and space shopping experience.

[The product range in the online store is synchronized with the Pinduoduo platform from the host's previous life memories, including clothing, food, housing, transportation, hardware and home appliances, and even some special categories.]

[The online store features daily flash sales, weekly specials, and monthly mega sales, which the host can participate in.]

All purchased items will be stored in the system's built-in storage space, which the host can access at any time by thought. The initial space capacity is 100 cubic meters and can be upgraded as the host progresses.

[System currency must be obtained through top-up. Top-up method: The host can hand over any valuable item in this world to the system for recycling and evaluation. The system will convert the item's value into an equivalent amount of cash.]

[Note: The system's evaluation criteria comprehensively consider the item's materials, craftsmanship, historical value, and current scarcity, striving for fairness and reasonableness.]

As the system explained, a familiar, colorful virtual interface unfolded in his mind.

A dazzling array of product images scrolled by.

From T-shirts costing just a few yuan to mobile phones and electronic devices costing thousands, from cheap and plentiful snacks to all kinds of hardware tools, seeds, and fertilizers...

There are even some "black technology" products that look bizarre and have strange uses.

The price tag clearly shows the price, and the familiar "cut it" icon is still there, only it's grayed out and locked.

Li Zhenhua gradually came to his senses from his initial bewilderment, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

It's really going to be a big hit this time!

It was 1960, during the three years of natural disasters, and there was an extreme shortage of supplies, especially food and light industrial products!

The system he had, despite its somewhat lame name, was incredibly powerful!

Using discarded items from this era, or even worthless junk, you can top up your account and exchange them for cash to buy a wide variety of goods that will be incredibly cheap decades later.

The profits involved are more than a hundred or a thousand times greater.

This is the magic of turning stone into gold!

Three years of natural disasters?

What's the big deal in front of him?

He can become a hidden tycoon simply by buying some grain!

Not to mention the potential impact of technologies and products that are ahead of their time!
