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

Xu Yun smoothed her hair and said awkwardly, "Well... I thought you were the son of some leader, someone who was just assigned to gain experience. I didn't expect you to be someone with real talent."

"Because of the issue of wild game, the leaders have put a lot of pressure on our purchasing department. You've really helped us solve a big problem."

"I was just lucky; I ran into a hunter on my way here."

Chen Jianming smiled and didn't seem to care.

Yesterday, the two section chiefs personally saw him off, so it's not surprising that Xu Yun treated him like a rich young master.

"Oh, right, these are the meal tickets I applied for for you yesterday. Take them and use them first. Let me know if you need more later."

Xu Yun lowered her voice and continued, "Remember not to tell anyone about your sources for wild game. Even though we're all in the same department, we still have our share of people skipping orders. Two of us even got into a fight over this before and were both fired from the factory."

"Thanks, Sister Xu."

The purchasing department staff came to work one after another, and the number of people at their workstations gradually increased.

He wasn't busy at his workstation, so he used his mind to feed the animals in his spatial dimension. From now on, he would rely on these animals to supply the factory with wild game.

Then, he simply closed his eyes and rested.

Soon, it was lunchtime, and the employees got up and headed to the canteen.

Chen Jianming stretched and yawned. After resting all morning, he finally caught up on the sleep he missed yesterday.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, the lady serving food greeted him with a smile, "Oh, young man, you're here again? Which department do you work in now? Do you have a girlfriend?"

The person getting food behind her urged, "Auntie, can you hurry up? I'm waiting for my food!"

The cafeteria lady rolled her eyes at the man and said irritably, "What's the rush? You're like a death knell. It's not like you're missing out on a bite."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Jianming and asked in a gentle tone, "Young man, what would you like to eat today?"

"Auntie, the usual: one order of braised pork, one order of roast chicken, two steamed buns, and a bowl of cabbage soup."

"Okay, I'll give you extra money."

The cafeteria lady, with steady hands, ladled out two large spoonfuls of braised pork for him.

After paying and leaving, he looked around the cafeteria with his food, but did not see Shen Cui.

"Didn't that little vixen come today?"

He found a seat, puzzled.

Just as we were about to eat, two middle-aged women, one fat and one thin, greeted us and came over.

"Hey? Xiao Chen, you're eating here alone?"

"Is this place empty? Auntie, may I sit here?"

Chen Jianming glanced at them; the two middle-aged women were purchasing department staff. He said indifferently, "No one else is here. Please have a seat."

"Xiao Chen, you're really something! The purchasing department is all talking about it. You brought in wild game the moment you got to work today."

"Look, the leaders are eating right now. It smells delicious. Oh, the factory manager is here too!"

The two middle-aged women were quite familiar with each other, talking amongst themselves while pointing to the table next to them.

Chen Jianming glanced in the direction they were pointing and saw a large round table a few seats away. Sure enough, he saw some leaders eating, and Section Chief Liu from the Procurement Department was also sitting at the table.

"This braised pheasant with mushrooms is quite good, the flavor is very authentic. Old Liu, your men are very capable."

A leader dressed in a Zhongshan suit, with a receding hairline, took a bite of the pheasant meat and patted Section Chief Liu on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"The stewed rabbit is also very good. It looks like a pure wild rabbit. The meat is tender and chewy. I haven't tasted this flavor in a long time."

Section Chief Liu smiled broadly and said politely, "Not at all, it's all thanks to the factory director and his leadership."

The factory manager, munching on some pheasant meat, exclaimed, "It's so delicious! I heard it was a young man who brought it here? He seems to be quite talented. Don't forget to praise him when you get back. Our factory desperately needs someone like him."

Wang, the head of the personnel department, was also at the table. He tugged at Liu and whispered, "How was it, Lao Liu? I told you Xiao Chen was a talent, didn't I? Don't forget to get me some good tea later to thank me."

...

Chen Jianming glanced at it once and then looked away, continuing to eat with his head down.

"Little Chen, my surname is Niu, you can call me Aunt Niu from now on. I've been working at the factory for many years, so feel free to ask me anything you don't understand. And the section chief, why did you assign that little brat Xu Yun to mentor you? She's only been at the factory for a few years, what could she possibly know?"

"Me too, me too, just call me Aunt Ma."

The two middle-aged women chatted away as they ate.

oxen and horses?

Chen Jianming suppressed a laugh, focusing on his meal and remaining indifferent, barely paying any attention to the two elderly women.

It's obvious that these two people came to find out what was going on after he brought in some wild game.

This kind of thing is common in the factory. Xu Yun reminded him this morning that even colleagues in the same department would skip orders.

Even without this, it's hard to explain the origin of his wild game.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Aunt Niu got straight to the point: "Xiao Chen, how did you get that wild game? Can you tell Aunt Niu?"

Aunt Ma chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Chen, we were just curious."

curious?

Can you please not make it too obvious?

These two middle-aged women really acted like complete novices.

"Please continue eating, ladies. I'm finished and will be leaving now."

He naturally didn't answer, got up, picked up his tray, and left the cafeteria.

Watching his departing figure, Aunt Niu's gaze turned cold, her nostrils flaring upwards: "Hmph, this kid really doesn't know any manners. It seems that if I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know who is the most senior in the purchasing department."

Aunt Ma chimed in, "That's right. He doesn't even respect the two of us. What's the use of being capable? He doesn't understand any social etiquette. We were hoping to get some information out of him, but it seems our lucrative job of buying wild game is now out of the question."

Back in the purchasing department, I saw that Xu Yun had already finished eating and was busy working.

"Sister Xu, I'm going to go for a bike ride. I don't have anything to do here anyway, so I'll see if I can go out and try my luck and catch some wild game."

His main job is to purchase wild game. There's not much to do at his workstation, and after resting for a morning, he really can't stay idle.

Xu Yun smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, go ahead. But don't rush it. Just aim for 100 pounds a month. Since you're new, the target can be lowered a bit. Don't be so strict."

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

Chen Jianming responded, and just as he reached the door, he saw two middle-aged women come in.

He left the purchasing department without even saying goodbye.

"Hmph, so young, and they don't know any manners at all."

"What's the rush? He'll get what's coming to him sooner or later."

The two middle-aged women, Niu and Ma, returned to their respective workstations in a huff.

"Aunt Niu, Aunt Ma, you two keep an eye on things for now. I'm going to the warehouse to talk to Liu Feng about something." Xu Yun also got up and left the purchasing department.

"That little girl's no good either. She's only been here a few years and she's already trying to get ahead of us. I wonder which boss she's been sleeping with!"

"Do you think she might be having an affair with that Chen guy? I've noticed Xu Yun has been quite attentive to him since he first arrived. Could she have fallen for him?"

The two middle-aged women whispered amongst themselves.

"No? What are you two talking about?"
