Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

"Auntie, please sit down!" Chen Mo hurriedly brought over a chair.

The older aunt helped her younger brother's wife sit down.

Her eyes were red from crying, and her hair was a messy, tangled mess.

My aunt's husband and my other aunt's husband kept sighing.

"Auntie, why don't you take Chen Rui inside to do her homework?" Chen Mo winked at Chen Rui.

Chen Rui nodded gently and pulled her aunt into the inner room.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Chen Mo asked when he saw that Chen Fen was not there.

"Didn't your uncle go to learn how to perm hair a few days ago?" Uncle-in-law lowered his voice.

"Someone called this afternoon saying your uncle got into trouble, and you either have to pay money to settle it, or they'll send him to jail!"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes: "My uncle, although he likes to cause trouble, how could he possibly get into trouble?"

"I didn't hear you very clearly!"

"It seems to have something to do with a woman!" Uncle-in-law secretly glanced at Aunt-in-law.

"Impossible. My uncle would never elope with someone, nor would he ever cheat on his wife," Chen Gang suddenly said.

"Who doesn't know that he and my aunt are a match made in heaven?"

"Three people acted as matchmakers, all for the same person. Where else in the world is that kind of luck, after all these decades?"

Chen Mo stood up, took out cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one for his aunt's husband and another for his uncle.

"I also think Zhiqiang is fine, but things can change outside," my uncle said.

"Zhiqiang would never do such a thing!" Aunt wiped her face and tried to lift her head.

"But how is he going to get back?"

"Being all alone there, you're bound to suffer!"

Auntie couldn't help but wipe her eyes again, and Li Guihua took her hand.

"Uncle, just say what you have to say. He's my uncle, one of my closest relatives. There's nothing you can't tell him!" Chen Mo said.

"good!"

My aunt's husband looked at my aunt, and she nodded.

"Then I won't hide it anymore!"

"Your uncle is over there. A woman said he... you know, she... and several people from the other side caught him. Now they're saying, 'Let's settle this privately for ten thousand!'"

"Either we send Zhiqiang to jail! With this crackdown, he'll definitely be out in five or six years!"

"I'm thinking, Zhiqiang and Xiuli don't have any kids either, and I'm the youngest among us. Xiaomo or Xiaogang, let's go together!"

Whether we have the money or not is another matter, but we need to see if there are any other options!

"We can't just stand by and watch Zhiqiang suffer!"

My uncle's voice wasn't loud, but it weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Go to a strange place and deal with a group of people who are already off to begin with.

This is very dangerous!

Even Li Guihua didn't speak; she looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo shook his head: "Uncle, you stay at home and don't go anywhere."

"My older brother and I went to investigate; it seems like a honey trap to me."

"I'll go get the money first thing tomorrow morning, and then I'll set off."

Uncle looked at Chen Mo: "No way, what do you kids know!"

"Uncle, this isn't a matter of how many people are involved. If I go there and call the police, maybe they'll catch the bad guy!"

"Big brother, pack your clothes today!" Chen Mo said.

Chen Gang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Of all these relatives, only my uncle remembers me and gives me pocket money every time.

"Auntie, don't worry, you stay home and keep watch by the phone!" Chen Mo instructed.

"I'll call you when I get to the hotel. We can talk about anything else then!"

No one spoke.

Even my aunt was shaking her head.

"Xiao Mo, your aunt knows how you feel, but you're still young!"

"Let your aunt's husband go with you."

"Sigh!" Chen sighed inwardly, "Alright, Uncle, let's go together, the three of us!"

"My aunt's husband will stay here tonight, and we'll set off tomorrow!"

This time, both my aunt and uncle nodded in agreement.

"Xiuli, I'll go back with you, let's guard the phone!" Auntie said.

The group of people stood up.

...

Nine o'clock in the morning!

Chen Mo returned from the post office carrying a small bag full of cash.

Along with Xiao Bao were three train tickets, all for hard seats, going directly to Zhongzhou City.

These days, buying a sleeper berth requires a letter of introduction, which is extremely troublesome.

Even if I call Secretary Liu, I won't get it until the afternoon at the earliest.

I'm not counting on that!

Chen Mo quickly piled the cash on the table.

Seeing so much cash, Chen Gang and his uncle were also somewhat moved.

Ten yuan notes, a total of 1,500 notes!

Chen Mo divided the money into three portions: "Uncle, brother, let's split this money among ourselves, one portion each!"

"Have my mom sew it inside the clothes later. Don't ever open the clothes or let it show!"

"We'll store it as soon as we get there!"

Uncle and Chen Mo nodded.

Chen Mo then pulled out a large handful of loose change: "Hide two hundred in each person's shoe sole, and keep one hundred on their person!"

"This way, if we get separated from each other in any way, we can make arrangements on the spot!"

"Brother, you need to put your watch in your pocket too, you can't wear it!"

Chen Gang didn't say anything, and his uncle took off his shoes.

He had traveled far from home several times and knew a bit about the ins and outs of the place. Train stations, bus stations, and hotels were not safe places at all.

There are an unusually large number of pickpockets and thieves!

You can never be too careful!

Chen Mo didn't say anything more; he looked outside the door.

My uncle was waiting at the door early in the morning; his tricycle, covered with a blue tarpaulin, was parked there.

This was the first time Chen Mo had encountered something that resembled a honey trap.

But he can't afford to lose his composure; he absolutely can't reveal anything!

My aunt's husband and my other aunt's husband are both getting old, and my aunt has long since lost her composure.

At this point, it's time to step forward.

Then, bring your uncle back!

Chen Mo quietly clenched his fist. He took the coat that Li Guihua had sewn and put it on.

Then, he packed all the luggage into a fertilizer bag!

Carrying the bag, Chen Mo approached the tricycle.

...

Red Star Antenna Factory!

It's Saturday today!

Chen Rui was dozing off early in the morning.

I was so engrossed in listening to the honey trap story yesterday that I wasted a lot of time.

Chen Fen was also eavesdropping, and her homework was a complete mess.

As a result, the aunt and niece stayed up all night in high spirits.

Even now, Chen Rui still has dark circles under her eyes.

Da Xue sat obediently to one side of the office.

"Director Chen?"

Zhou Rui, who was talking to Chen Rui, noticed that Chen Rui had almost closed her eyes, and he spoke with some doubt.

"It's nothing!" Chen Rui shook her head. "Director Zhou, what are you going to do?"

"Six hundred antennas need to be shipped this afternoon, and three hundred will be sold at People's Park tomorrow!"

"Could you approve this?" Zhou Rui handed the documents to Chen Rui.

Chen Rui glanced at it, then signed her name without hesitation: "Factory Manager Zhou, is there any problem with shipping this afternoon?"

"No problem, it's all done!" Zhou Rui nodded.

"Regarding the move next Monday, I asked the workers, and most of them are unwilling to move."

"I estimate they can only move about fifty or sixty people over!"

Chen Rui twisted her neck: "Alright, Director Zhou, you handle it!"

"There's another matter, Director Zhou. It's very difficult to deal with the current workers' wages."

Zhou Rui looked up: "Oh? You mean?"

"At the current rate of efficiency, no one can get piece-rate bonuses; they can't even meet the minimum requirements."

"What am I going to do about the end-of-month work report?"

Zhou Rui raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.

In his eyes, this woman knew nothing, except that she was extremely generous with money.

This one trick alone is what got these workers working so hard to keep up with demand.

Zhou Rui looked away:

"Director Chen, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you!"
