"You old fool, who told you to get your son drunk?"

"Isn't this great joy!"

"This year, only 15 people from the entire Factory 120 were admitted to university, but our son was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology, a key national university. He truly deserves to be my son."

Lying in bed, Qian Huaijin, in a daze, could vaguely hear a familiar conversation.

Suddenly, a series of images flashed through my mind.

"what!"

Qian Huaijin suddenly opened his eyes, and a series of memories flashed through his mind like a slideshow. A wave of pain surged up, and he immediately covered his head with both hands, cold sweat breaking out on his brow.

After a while, Qian Huaijin began to look around at his surroundings.

A calendar hangs on the old-fashioned, retro wall.

"Forehead?"

"August 1, 1980?"

Qian Huaijin then looked at himself.

How did you become younger?

I was reborn?

Qian Huaijin looked incredulous, then gently pinched his arm, and a wave of pain surged up instantly.

A few seconds later, Qian Huaijin finally accepted the fact that he had traveled through time.

……

Qian Huaijin pushed open his bedroom door and heard a kind and familiar voice asking with concern, "Little Qian, you're awake? How are you? Does your head still hurt? I told you yesterday not to drink so much, and that old geezer kept forcing you to drink."

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just a little thirsty."

"Come, come, sit down first, let me pour you a glass of water."

Seeing this, Gu Lan felt distressed and quickly went over to pour Qian Huaijin a glass of water.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

Qian Huaijin looked around but didn't see his father anywhere.

"Your dad went to work. I saw him frowning when he left, as if something had happened."

As Gu Lan spoke, she ladled a bowl of white porridge for Qian Huaijin and thoughtfully peeled an egg and put it into the porridge before handing it to him.

After finishing his meal quickly, Qian Huaijin got up and left.

As Qian Huaijin left home, he said, "Mom, I'm full. I'm going out for a bit."

"Hmph, just like that old geezer."

Gu Lan looked at the doorway and began to complain.

A dozen minutes later, Qian Huaijin arrived at the office building of Factory 120 (Dong'an Machinery Factory).

This is a three-story building.

Qian Huaijin walked up to it with obvious familiarity.

As he walked down the long corridor, he suddenly heard a commotion of arguing and lamenting, and he stopped in his tracks.

Qian Huaijin peered through the slightly ajar door and saw that the entire conference room was filled with thick smoke, clearly the work of a group of heavy smokers.

"Go back and think about how to break this deadlock. What's the use of sighing and complaining here?"

Qian Zhizhou waved his hand, directly interrupting everyone's sighs and arguments.

The smile on Qian Zhizhou's face yesterday, when he learned that his son had been admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology, was long gone.

Impatience, worry, confusion.

No one expected the higher-ups to suddenly issue a notice.

With the abolition of the planned economy, the national strategy shifted to focus on economic development, national defense was subordinated to the overall economic situation, and everything had to give way to the economy.

Economic development is paramount!

Dong'an Machinery Factory shall be responsible for its own profits and losses and operate independently.

This caught Qian Zhizhou and other senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory completely off guard.

After Qian Zhizhou finished speaking, the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory got up and left.

Suddenly a voice came from outside: "Huaijin, are you here to see Factory Manager Qian?"

Qian Huaijin looked in the direction of the voice and replied with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, I just came to take a look."

"Director Qian is inside!"

"Congratulations, Huaijin, on getting into Harbin Institute of Technology. You've brought great honor to our Dong'an Machinery Factory."

Zhang Yi'an pointed to the conference room, then gently patted Qian Huaijin on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. Please go ahead with your work."

Seeing that only his father, Qian Zhizhou, remained in the meeting room, Qian Huaijin bid farewell to Zhang Yi'an and then entered the meeting room.

"Hey kid, what are you doing here? Why aren't you staying home? Are you still feeling dizzy?"

When Qian Zhizhou saw Qian Huaijin, he immediately stubbed out his cigarette, a look of concern appearing on his face, and his worries lessened somewhat.

"Dad, I came over to check on you. I overheard you arguing at the door. Did something happen?"

Qian Huaijin certainly knew why everyone was arguing.

But at this moment, he pretended not to know.

"Come to my office."

Qian Zhizhou pulled Qian Huaijin out of the conference room, and after a few minutes, they arrived at his office.

"It's nothing serious."

"Your primary task is to study hard at Harbin Institute of Technology, and then come back to build Dong'an Machinery Factory."

Qian Huaijin shook his head and said to Qian Zhizhou, "Dad, I am a member of Dong'an Machinery Factory, and I am an adult now. I can do what I can for the factory."

"Is the government going to implement sweeping reforms in our military industry?"

Qian Zhizhou stared at Qian Huaijin in utter astonishment: "Who told you that?"

"I guessed!"

"A guess?"

"That's right, I guessed it. The country wants to develop its economy, so everything has to give way to the economy. The largest portion of national expenditure is military spending. Dad, what do you think the higher-ups will do?"

Qian Huaijin put on an unfathomable appearance.

Qian Zhizhou looked at his son with satisfaction and suddenly felt that Qian Huaijin had grown up.

In fact, Qian Zhizhou initially responded to the country's call to carry out various reforms at the Dong'an Machinery Factory.

However, due to various reasons, the reform failed.

After the failure, Qian Zhizhou was transferred from Dong'an Machinery Factory, where he had worked for more than ten years, to become a teacher at Harbin Engineering University.

This was only because of the influence of the forces behind Qian Zhizhou.

Otherwise, Qian Zhizhou might be directly "taken down".

The problem Dong'an Machinery Factory is currently facing is that the number of military product orders issued by the state has been sharply reduced, leaving a large number of equipment and technical personnel idle.

The factory currently has more than 10,000 employees.

The factory is facing severe financial difficulties and its equipment is aging.

Previously, the production was carried out by Dong'an Machinery Factory, which was assigned by the state, and the state would then allocate funds.

Now that the planned economy has been abolished, the higher-level leaders have allowed Dong'an Machinery Factory to be responsible for its own profits and losses and operate independently.

This caught everyone completely off guard.

The same goes for Qian Zhizhou.

If a habit of more than ten years is suddenly changed one day, then...

Qian Zhizhou and other senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory were at a loss for what to do.

That's why the argument that just happened in the meeting room has occurred.

Especially now that the warehouse of Dong'an Machinery Factory is still piled up with a large number of weapons and equipment, if the state does not purchase them, where will they go for sale?

Seeing Qian Zhizhou's worried face, Qian Huaijin couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Dad, if there's no market in China, we can go overseas!"

In order to consolidate his father’s position in Dong’an Machinery Factory, Qian Huaijin did not want him to go astray or run into obstacles everywhere. As a result, when he went to Harbin Engineering University, he was always sighing and never smiled throughout the year.

"foreign?"
