Reborn as a capitalist's young master in the 1970s, he starts his life by being blocked at the

"Just who is Xiao Chen to make Zhao Kui act like this?"

"I have a feeling that he must be someone important, otherwise, given Zhao Kui's personality, he definitely wouldn't have let this go so easily."

The purchasing department colleagues whispered amongst themselves.

Zhao Kui smiled and waved his hand: "Alright, Xiao Chen, just focus on your work. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to ask me."

Chen Jianming nodded and said politely, "Okay, then thank you in advance, Section Chief."

Zhao Kui didn't say anything more, and walked out of the purchasing department with his beer belly sticking out amidst the astonished gazes of everyone.

After Zhao Kui left, Wang Hao approached him with a curious expression: "Xiao Chen, who exactly are you? You're so powerful that you could make Zhao Kui apologize on his own initiative. No wonder you dared to talk back to him like that earlier."

Chen Jianming chuckled and said, "Have some tea, have some tea."

Wang Hao took a sip of tea, giving him a knowing look: "Don't worry, I understand. These kinds of things are best left unsaid."

"Xiao Chen, have some sunflower seeds."

"I still have some dried sweet potatoes here, which I bought earlier. They're quite sweet, Xiao Chen, why don't you try some?"

"What's so good about dried sweet potatoes? Little Chen, this is some good stuff, homemade pork jerky."

Inside the purchasing department, colleagues who had initially kept their distance from him started bringing snacks to his desk one by one.

Seeing Zhao Kui's attitude just now, they were even more certain that Chen Jianming was someone important, and they all wanted to come and curry favor with him.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Jianming accepted all the snacks offered, and his workstation was instantly filled with a huge pile of them.

Only Aunt Niu and Aunt Ma looked displeased, pursed their lips, but didn't dare to say anything more.

"These dried sweet potatoes are really good."

Chen Jianming crossed his legs, took out a sweet potato chip, took a bite, and looked completely content.

Life is getting better and better!

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen."

While I was eating snacks, a colleague suddenly rushed in from outside in a panic.

Chen Jianming looked up, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The colleague, panting, said, "A group of police officers have come outside; they're looking for you."

"police?"

Chen Jianming was puzzled. Why were the police looking for him now?

Could it be related to the events in Huai Shu Village?

Before they could even leave, Officer Hu walked in with several other police officers.

One of the police officers was carrying a bulging package on his back, the contents of which were unknown.

"Are these people here to arrest Xiao Chen? Oh dear, what a waste of my dried sweet potatoes."

"Could it be that Xiao Chen did something wrong?"

"Do you think his wild game might be of dubious origin? I knew it! Who could get so much wild game all at once!"

Seeing the police enter, everyone in the purchasing department secretly wondered if they had regretted trying to curry favor with Chen Jianming too early.

Those who just delivered the snacks are now looking like they're in pain.

"Brother Hu, what brings you here?"

Chen Jianming quickly stood up to greet them, took out cigarettes, and offered one to each person.

Brother Hu took the cigarette, casually pulled up a chair and sat down: "Long time no see, Xiao Chen. I called you here to get some information."

Chen Jianming took the kettle and poured a cup of tea for each of the police officers: "Brother Hu, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

"We just received news that four cadres from Huai Shu Village have mysteriously disappeared. They are nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead. These people all had conflicts with you. We wanted to ask if you have been to Huai Shu Village recently."

Brother Hu took the teacup and took a sip, a smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp as he kept observing Chen Jianming's expression.

Four cadres?

Could it be that someone is taking advantage of the situation to settle personal scores?

He clearly dealt with Liu Neng, Wang Mancang, and the women's director.

Chen Jianming was puzzled, but he remained outwardly calm: "I haven't been there. I really don't want to stay in that awful place for even a day longer. However, I went to collect wild game a few days ago, and the factory leaders and colleagues can attest to that."

Brother Hu smiled and nodded: "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking to see if you know anything about it."

He turned to a young police officer and said, "Xiao Li, bring out the banner and certificate of merit."

Upon hearing this, the young police officer took off the package on his back and took out a large red banner and a certificate of merit.

The banner reads in large, eye-catching characters: "Eliminating harm for the people."

Brother Hu stood up and said, "We came here mainly to present you with a banner. You really did a great service to the people by catching so many pickpockets last time."

"It's such a small matter, and I'm sorry to have troubled you all to make this trip."

Chen Jianming accepted the banner, smiled and made a few words of agreement, but didn't take it seriously.

Sending the banner was probably just an excuse; the real purpose was to gauge his reaction.

It must be said that Officer Hu is indeed a veteran police officer, experienced and with a very sharp eye.

It's only because he has a strong mental fortitude; anyone else would probably have already shown their weakness.

Brother Hu stood up and shook hands with him: "Alright, we still have things to do at the station, and we also need to investigate a case on the way. Xiao Chen, you go ahead and do your work. We're leaving."

After the police officers left, the purchasing department erupted in chaos.

The colleagues initially thought Chen Jianming had done something wrong, but when they saw several police officers personally delivering a banner to his door, their expressions changed.

Wang Hao, his face full of admiration, gave him a thumbs up: "Xiao Chen, you're amazing! You even caught a pickpocket."

"Xiao Chen, tell me how you caught the pickpocket?"

"That's amazing! I never knew we had a hero in our department who caught pickpockets."

"Xiao Chen, have you ever practiced kung fu?"

The purchasing department staff had never seen a policeman personally deliver a banner to their door before, and they all curiously gathered around, chattering away with great enthusiasm.

"It's nothing serious, just running into a few petty thieves."

Chen Jianming gave a few perfunctory words to send his colleagues away, and then sat down at his workstation to close his eyes and rest.

With a thought, I entered the space and took a look. Since being completely released, there were quite a few more animals in the space.

In addition, these animals grow exceptionally fast within the space; those wolf cubs were almost fully grown wolves in just a few days.

If you're looking for a leisurely job in a steel mill, the purchasing agent position is the one that's most comfortable.

As long as the procurement targets are met, nobody cares. You can just lie there and drink tea without any problem.

Because they have so much free time, these purchasing agents are all incredibly gossipy.

In just one afternoon, the news that the police had personally delivered the award certificate to the factory spread throughout the entire factory area.

"Chen Jianming? I remember now, he's the new purchasing agent, quite handsome, I didn't expect him to be a hero."

"Hey, what's up, Xiao Ning? You've got your eye on her?"

"So what if I like him? I like heroes like that."

"You like heroes? I'm too embarrassed to tell you, you just like them because they're handsome."

Inside the steel plant, workers in every workshop were discussing this matter.

The young female workers, in particular, were all very curious about Chen Jianming.

Workshop No. 3

Linlin, dressed in work clothes, approached Shen Cui and said, "Cui Cui, your Jianming brother is really amazing! He can even catch pickpockets."

Shen Cui wasn't surprised at all and replied with a smile, "That's nothing. Brother Jianming can even catch bears. He hunted a lot of wild animals in the mountains back then."

Linlin covered her mouth in surprise: "That's amazing! What's your relationship now?"

Shen Cui rolled her eyes: "Mind your own business!"

Linlin chuckled: "I think Zhao Aotian is pursuing you. If you and Jianming aren't involved, then I might make my move."
