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

Chen Jianming awkwardly tugged at his collar.

There was still a hickey left by Lin Wan on her neck!

"Ahem, you guys go ahead with your work, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

He coughed lightly, afraid that someone would notice something, and then turned and left the guesthouse.

"Why does Brother Chen look so nervous?"

"Wait a minute, where would mosquitoes come from in this weather?"

The two female staff members looked at his departing figure with suspicion on their faces.

...

That evening, at Jianming Processing Plant.

Chen Damin sat in the chair with a worried look on his face, his features almost scrunched up in frustration.

"Damn it, what kind of people have I messed with lately? How come no matter where I hide my safe, people can always find it?"

These past few days, his savings have been almost completely emptied.

If this continues, the factory manager will lose his job; all the money he gets will go to those thieves.

He went to the police station to report the case, but after so much time, not only have they found no clues, but the thieves have come even more frequently.

Chen Damin, a cigar between his fingers, frowned deeply: "Could it be that bastard Wang Debiao?"

Then he shook his head: "No, that bastard is a bit greedy, but not to the point of becoming a thief."

He took two deep puffs of his cigar, thought for a while, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number.

"Hey, honey, where are you right now?"

Through the microphone, Wang Hongyan's tone was extremely impatient: "Spit it out if you have something to say, or shut up! I'm still playing mahjong!"

"Playing mahjong again?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Damin became even more agitated. He suppressed his anger and said, "I have something important to tell you. You need to go home right now and take our safe with you. Put it at your parents' house first. It's not safe at home lately; it's been broken into by thieves several times already."

Wang Hongyan asked in surprise, "What? You mean our house was burgled again recently?"

"Okay, you go ahead, I'm still busy for a while before I can go back."

"Bullshit! What are you busy with? I know you too well; you're probably out gallivanting somewhere again!"

"Go and move the safe right now, stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Damin angrily shouted and hung up the phone. This spendthrift old woman doesn't know how to put her mind at all. All she does all day is play her stupid mahjong!

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Now, those thieves won't be able to find it, will they?"

"Should we send her back to her parents' home?"

Outside the door, in a dimly lit corner, Chen Jianming couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

He thought about it and decided not to take action tonight.

Recently, we've raided Chen Damin's secret stash of money several times, and now the old man is practically a nervous wreck.

Let's wait a couple of days until Chen Damin puts more money into the safe.

Anyway, this factory was originally left to him by his parents. If Chen Damin wants to take it by force, then he can just consider it as the other party working for him.

He then quietly left the processing plant and returned to the compound.

He spotted Zhang Lu as soon as he reached the door, who was standing furtively in front of the door waiting for him.

"Xiao Chen, where have you been so late? I've been waiting for you for ages! Luckily, none of those girls are here today, so you're all mine!"

"..."

This woman really doesn't want to rest for even a day.

...

The night passed quietly, and the guesthouse reopened as usual the next day.

He Yueyue, newly appointed to her post, stood with her hands behind her back and her chest puffed out, inspecting the office everywhere.

"Hello, Director He!"

In the office building, several female staff members saw her and quickly greeted her, their eyes showing a hint of fear.

"Um."

He Yueyue nodded in acknowledgment, her attitude icy.

As she descended the stairs and prepared to head to the restaurant next door, she glanced around and suddenly noticed someone arriving with a truckload of wild game.

The man looked honest and simple, and was dressed plainly. After parking his car, he was talking to Su Xiao.

That man was Wang San, the middleman Chen Jianming had recently hired. He usually went to the countryside to contact hunters and help them bring wild game to the station.

Su Xiao glanced at the car and exclaimed in surprise, "Wang San, you're here! Is this wild game you just brought from the countryside? Wow, why are there so many this time?"

Wang San smiled憨厚ly: "Is Brother Chen here? These were all arranged by Brother Chen. He said that the station is short of wild game recently, and the customers are ordering a lot, so he asked me to bring more this time. Xiao Su, please count them quickly so I can move them to the logistics department."

"Brother Chen isn't here; he seems to have gone out on something."

Su Xiao shook her head and stepped forward to begin counting the wild game.

Seeing this, He Yueyue walked over with her hands behind her back.

"Hello, Director He."

When Su Xiao saw that it was the new leader, she felt flustered and quickly greeted him.

He Yueyue asked calmly, "Yes, you're all busy. Are these all wild game sent to the station?"

Wang San bowed and scraped, saying, "Hello, Director He. My name is Wang San. These are all things I just brought from the countryside. Brother Chen has arranged everything."

"Um."

He Yueyue's expression was indifferent as she glanced at the car, which was filled with pheasants and ducks, as well as a wild deer and half a wild boar.

She nodded in satisfaction: "They look pretty good, quite fresh. Take inventory and send them all to the logistics department."

Wang San said respectfully, "Okay, I'll move in after Xiao Su finishes counting."

He Yueyue ignored him, glanced at Su Xiao, and asked with a hint of anger, "Your name is Su Xiao, right? Where's Director Chen? I went to his office just now, but I didn't see him."

"Could he have gone out again? Yesterday afternoon, I saw him leave before his workday ended."

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, then forced herself to answer, "Brother Chen... he should be out on business, right?"

"Going out on business? What kind of business could a deputy director like him go out on?"

Upon hearing this, He Yueyue frowned, clearly a little unhappy.

This deputy director is always away from the institute; he's got quite the airs, he's even more comfortable than the director herself.

She's still working at the office, while Chen Jianming is able to go out every day.

Su Xiao's eyes darted around, and she quickly made up an excuse: "I don't know about that, but Chief, all the wild game in our station is sourced from Brother Chen's channels, so it's normal for him to go out when he has something to do."

"Hmph, so he's the deputy director, huh? So blatantly disregarding the institute's rules and regulations. Does having connections mean he can just run around like that?"

He Yueyue snorted coldly, thought for a moment, and then turned around and went upstairs without saying anything more.

Watching the other woman's departing figure, Su Xiao wondered to herself, "Won't she cause trouble for Brother Chen?"

"Wang San, I've almost finished counting. You can move them all to the logistics department and have Comrade Zhou Ya count them again. I need to hurry up and check on them."

She hesitated for a moment, left a message, and quickly followed quietly.

He Yueyue returned to her office, sat down, and became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

She had just arrived at the institute, and it was only her second day there. She had originally planned to go to Chen Jianming to learn more about the institute's situation.

As a result, the other party left without even saying goodbye, clearly showing no respect for her, the new director.

"You dare do this right under my nose? Well then, I'll send you straight back to the factory!"
