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

Chen Jianming was stunned. He had been so focused on checking the animals' physical condition that he hadn't noticed that their eyes were practically glowing green with hunger.

However, the animals looked at him with a hint of fear, and even though they were starving, they didn't dare to come closer.

After all, he had just recently knocked a bear weighing several hundred pounds flying with his own hands.

The bear was still lying on the ground, and there was a hint of... resentment in its huge eyes!

Only a few tiger cubs, wagging their tails fearlessly, ran over.

"Come on, come on, stop looking at me like that."

Chen Jianming took out a large pile of meat and other things and waved to the animals.

"Awoo!"

"roar--"

Upon seeing the food, the animals' eyes lit up, and they rushed over and began to devour it.

"It's just that I went hungry all day, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Chen Jianming scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Judging from how these animals are eating, you'd think they'd been starving for days.

"I wonder if that magical elixir has fallen again."

He turned around, his face full of anticipation, and ran to the spatial rift to take a look.

This time it was quite ordinary, there were no special items, only two pieces of gold fell down.

He casually picked up the gold and threw it into the area where gold and silver jewelry were stored.

"It seems that kind of spiritual liquid is extremely rare! Wait, why are there two pieces of gold?"

Chen Jianming shook his head regretfully, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Previously, only one item could drop in the space at most per day!

Two pieces of gold? Could it be that he slept for two whole days this time?

"Damn, is this elixir really that potent?!"

His feelings were suddenly complicated; no wonder the girls and Zhang Lu hadn't come.

They must have come looking for him in the last couple of days, but they haven't seen him!

And those animals, no wonder they were all so hungry, they'd been starving for two whole days!

Having done all that, and with nothing else to do, Chen Jianming had no choice but to leave the space and go to sleep.

The next morning, he got up, washed up, and went out.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Lu was standing in front of the door, glancing into his room every now and then. When she saw him come out, her face lit up with joy.

She looked around and saw that there weren't many people in the yard so early in the morning, so she hurriedly ran over.

"Xiao Chen, you're back! Where have you been these past few days?"

As she spoke, she reached out and secretly touched his crotch, lowering her voice to say, "I've missed you so much these past two days."

Chen Jianming made up an excuse on the spot: "Ahem, I went to the countryside to buy some wild game. I ordered quite a lot this time, which took a little longer."

Then, he chuckled and patted Zhang Lu on the back: "Wait for me to come back, tonight."

Zhang Lu's eyes lit up instantly after he patted her, and she quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you, sis."

After leaving the compound, Chen Jianming went directly to the steel plant.

Upon arriving at the factory gate, a security guard approached and greeted him: "Brother Chen, you're here! I haven't seen you for the past couple of days!"

Chen Jianming recalled the excuse he made up yesterday and replied with a smile, "Oh, my second uncle's hemorrhoids have flared up recently, so I went to see a doctor."

"Oh, I see. I should go check it out. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you these past few days. Come on, Brother Chen, have a cigarette."

The security guard leaned closer, offered a cigarette, and suddenly said mysteriously, "Brother Chen, you have no idea what kind of unclean things might appear in our office. Yesterday, some of the guys on the night shift went to their barracks and found a huge crater under the office building!"

Chen Jianming then remembered that yesterday, in order to test his physical fitness, he jumped off the building and cracked the cement floor.

"Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing unclean about it! Trust science!"

He waved his hand, turned around, and went straight into the factory.

Back in the office, just as I was about to sit down and have a cup of tea, Su Xiao rushed in.

Upon seeing him, she was momentarily stunned: "Brother Chen, where have you been these past two days? I couldn't find you anywhere! I called your house but no one answered! Never mind what you were doing, it doesn't matter, something big has happened!"

Chen Jianming looked puzzled: "What's the big deal? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Su Xiao took a breath and then said, "Yesterday, Ding Shengli's brother-in-law, Jules, came back."

"Ding Shengli's brother-in-law? Is he some kind of powerful figure?"

Chen Jianming was even more puzzled; he had never heard of this person before.

"Never mind, come with me and take a look."

Seeing that she couldn't explain it clearly, Su Xiao pulled him to the door and pointed to a spot not far away.

Chen Jianming indeed saw that the factory director, Zhao Baoguo, was talking to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing an expensive suit and looked very imposing; even Zhao Baoguo treated him with great courtesy.

Ding Shengli stood to the side with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant and smug.

Chen Jianming frowned and asked, "What does this person do?"

Su Xiao answered softly, "I heard he's a foreign businessman from overseas."

"A foreign businessman? Can a foreign businessman really make the factory manager so polite?"

Chen Jianming was somewhat surprised, as he had clearly seen Zhao Baoguo smiling obsequiously at that man.

Looking across the entire steel plant, there are very few people who can be treated like this by Zhao Baoguo!

Su Xiao explained in a low voice, "He's not an ordinary foreign businessman. He has access to advanced equipment from overseas. I think he's a special specialist who imports equipment from abroad. He holds a pretty high position, and I heard he was appointed by higher-ups."

Chen Jianming nodded: "Oh, I see. The factory manager did mention recently that he wanted to purchase a batch of overseas equipment."

Not far away, Zhao Baoguo and Jules were exchanging pleasantries over and over again.

Chen Jianming was too lazy to listen anymore; he didn't care what kind of commissioner he was, it had nothing to do with him.

Just as he was about to return to his office, Ding Shengli turned his head and noticed him. He then walked over with a smile on his face!

Approaching him, Ding Shengli, hands behind his back, said with a forced smile, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Chen? Long time no see. You've been promoted pretty fast, haven't you? Now you're a section chief!"

Chen Jianming smiled and said bluntly, "Who are you? Do I know you?"

To be honest, he and Ding Shengli had never really met.

Back then, it was entirely because Ding Shengli believed Zhao Aotian's words that he specifically issued a factory-wide notice criticizing him and even wanted to transfer him to the most tiring workshop.

However, Ding Shengli was later dismissed from his post by Zhao Baoguo, who found a pretext to do so.

This matter has nothing to do with him no matter how you look at it.

However, judging from their attitude, it's clear they're putting the blame on him.

Ding Shengli was slightly taken aback, then his eyebrows furrowed and he said fiercely, "What are you so arrogant about? Don't be so smug. Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is back now, and he's going to take me abroad soon."

"You better watch out, kid, don't fall into my hands! Otherwise, hmph, your position as section chief won't be of any use!"

After saying that, Ding Shengli walked away with his hands behind his back, looking smug.

Su Xiao spat and said with disgust, "Pah, what's so great about this fat pig? He's just a capitalist's lackey!"
