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

"Come in."

Section Chief Liu's voice came from inside the room.

Chen Jianming pushed open the door and entered: "Section Chief, you wanted to see me?"

As soon as Section Chief Liu saw him come in, he hurriedly stood up with a smile, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him personally: "Come on, Xiao Chen, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Chen Jianming was surprised. Was something wrong?

Section Chief Liu turned around and sat down in his chair, smiling as he said, "Xiao Chen, I was out handling some matters the other day, but I heard about what happened. That Zhao Kui is really outrageous; he treats his subordinates so harshly."

"Don't worry, I've already given him a good scolding. If anyone causes you trouble again, feel free to come to me."

Chen Jianming had no idea what the other party was up to, but he still politely said, "Thank you, Section Chief Liu."

Section Chief Liu waved his hand dismissively, speaking in an official tone: "Don't be so polite. You're one of my men, protecting you is my duty. If I can't even protect my own people, I shouldn't be a section chief."

Chen Jianming took a sip of tea and remained silent.

The other party's attitude clearly indicated that they wanted to see him for something.

After all, when he asked for leave not long ago, Section Chief Liu said he couldn't control Zhao Kui, but now he seems like a completely different person.

Sure enough, Section Chief Liu coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, you're the most capable person in our department when it comes to collecting wild game. I heard you have special channels?"

"Could you possibly get some deer antler velvet, bear paws, or something like that? A customer at our factory needs some."

"Deer penis, bear paw?"

Chen Jianming pretended to be troubled and said, "Section Chief, this thing is not easy to handle."

In fact, he keeps quite a few deer and bears in his space, and he can get them anytime.

I just don't want to take it out so easily.

If the other party wants these things, they have to offer corresponding benefits.

Section Chief Liu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Haha, I know this stuff isn't easy to get, Xiao Chen, don't worry. This isn't meant to make things difficult for you. It's okay if you can't get it. If you do, you'll get a generous reward, I guarantee it'll be substantial, you won't lose out."

Chen Jianming nodded and replied, "Alright, Section Chief, I'll do my best."

However, he was a little suspicious. What did Section Chief Liu want these for? Deer antler velvet is a very nourishing food.

He glanced at it discreetly, wondering if it was a gift or for his own use. Could it be that Section Chief Liu was also suspicious?

"Knock knock—"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Then a voice rang out: "Section Chief, Deputy Factory Director Ding Shengli wants you to go to his office for a meeting."

"What kind of meeting is this?"

Section Chief Liu looked puzzled, but still responded towards the door, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that Section Chief Liu was about to go to a meeting, Chen Jianming stood up before the other man could speak and said, "Section Chief, I'll be going now."

Section Chief Liu added, "Alright, then I'll trouble you. But remember, this matter must be kept secret. Don't let outsiders know."

Chen Jianming nodded; he understood this kind of thing.

Afterwards, Section Chief Liu put down his teacup, got up, and left the office.

After arriving at Deputy Factory Director Ding's office, Liu knocked on the door and went inside. He was a little surprised.

Several factory leaders were sitting at a table in the office, and even Zhao Kui and Zhao Aotian were there.

Zhao Aotian had a fierce look on his face, but when he saw him come in, a smug look appeared on his lips.

Deputy factory director Ding Shengli sat in the head seat. He was thin and had a somewhat sinister face. The wrinkles on his face looked like dry tree bark.

Upon seeing Section Chief Liu enter the room, he said casually, "Little Liu is here. Please have a seat. I have something to discuss with you today."

Section Chief Liu was puzzled, but he still found a chair and sat down.

Ding Shengli cleared his throat and said, "I called you all here today to discuss some management issues at our factory. Xiao Liu, I heard that a young man recently joined your purchasing department? What's his name? Chen Jianming? This kid is young, but he has quite a temper, and he even dares to talk back to his superiors!"

Section Chief Liu was taken aback, not expecting that this meeting was actually aimed at Chen Jianming.

He hurriedly said, "Director Ding, is there some misunderstanding? That young man, Chen, is quite capable."

"Misunderstanding? That kid has been arrogant for a long time. I heard he even cursed at Deputy Section Chief Zhao a few days ago."

Zhao Aotian, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looked exceptionally arrogant: "Deputy Section Chief Zhao, is that true?"

Zhao Kui was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, completely unaware of what was going on.

Didn't Zhao Baoguo say before that we shouldn't mess with that kid Chen Jianming?

Section Chief Liu was completely bewildered. When did Zhao Baoguo's son become so close to Deputy Factory Director Ding?

Ding Shengli leaned back in his chair, his hair almost completely bald, and said in a deep voice, "Aotian is right, there's nothing to misunderstand. Just because a new young man is good at his job doesn't mean he can disregard his superiors. If things continue like this, how can we manage our factory!"

He paused, then continued, "In my opinion, he still needs more training. We should transfer him to Workshop No. 1 to train him properly and temper his temperament."

Zhao Kui sat to Ding Shengli's left, tugged at him, and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Deputy Factory Director Ding, what does this mean? Factory Director Zhao instructed us not to touch that kid. Isn't this going against Factory Director Zhao?"

Ding Shengli took out a cigarette, lit it, lowered his voice, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, Director Zhao? You can't even manage a newcomer. What kind of director are you? Before long, this factory will only have me, Director Ding. Zhao Kui, you'd better know your place."

Zhao Kui's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He glanced at Zhao Aotian beside him and remained speechless for a long time.

Section Chief Liu pondered to himself: When did Xiao Chen offend Ding Shengli? Could it be related to Zhao Aotian? Aren't Ding Shengli and Zhao Baoguo at odds?

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, then hesitated, "Director Ding, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Shouldn't we inform Director Zhao first?"

Ding Shengli sneered and flicked the cigarette butt from his hand: "What? Section Chief Liu, do you think I, Old Ding, can't even settle a young man?"

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Liu quickly lowered his head.

He couldn't fight city hall; after all, he was just a section chief and couldn't stop the deputy factory director's decision.

Ding Shengli waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, that's settled then. Director Zhao is very busy; there's no need to bother him with dealing with a newcomer. Aotian, stay here; you all can go back now."

"Furthermore, issue a factory-wide notice to that kid Chen Jianming. Go back and draft a notice of criticism immediately, post it in every workshop, and broadcast it over the factory loudspeaker at noon. Everyone must see this; this is what happens when you talk back to your superiors!"

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Liu and several other factory cadres got up and left the office.

In the blink of an eye, only Ding Shengli and Zhao Aotian remained in the room.

Ding Shengli poured Zhao Aotian a cup of tea and said with a forced smile, "Aotian, are you satisfied with this?"
