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

I opened the envelope and read it carefully.

Yu Qingqing truly lived up to her reputation as Professor Lin's student; even her letters were written in a refined and elegant style. The first sentence read: "Brother Jianming, it is as if we are meeting in person upon reading this letter."

The letter briefly described the recent archaeological progress of Professor Lin and his team, which seemed to have yielded considerable achievements.

Yu Qingqing did not specify what her achievements were, probably for reasons of confidentiality.

The envelope also contained several hundred yuan in cash, part of which was an archaeology grant that Professor Lin had applied for for him, and part of which was Yu Qingqing's own money.

Because he was worried that the man wouldn't have enough to eat, he wrote a letter and sent money.

The letter ended with two words: "I miss you," and next to them were two hearts connected by an arrow.

"This little girl is quite thoughtful."

Chen Jianming smiled, as if he could see Yu Qingqing standing shyly in front of him.

To be honest, Yu Qingqing is really great. She's beautiful, has a great personality, is cheerful and lively, and exudes a vibrant energy.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to return to the city, he really would have given it to Yu Qingqing.

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance to meet again."

Chen Jianming shook his head and picked up another letter. The name on the envelope was Tian Jiangyue.

He was a little surprised and pondered to himself: Has this woman already returned to the city? Does she want to invite me to visit her?

After opening the envelope, I saw that Tian Jiangyue's writing was much more straightforward. The first sentence was: Mingzi, I miss you.

But the further down he looked, the more Chen Jianming frowned.

His voice was filled with anger: "Why is Wang Mancang like a leech? He's lost his son, yet he still won't let Tian Jiangyue leave!"

The letter Tian Jiangyue sent didn't say much, only that Wang Mancang was still preventing her from returning to the city.

She had no other choice but to ask Chen Jianming for help.

The letter ended by saying that if she really couldn't go back to the city and would have to spend her whole life with a decrepit old man in that run-down village, she might as well die.

Holding the letter, Chen Jianming pondered to himself, "I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to deal with those two bastards, Wang Mancang and Liu Neng. But didn't I report them to Zhao Erhu? Could it be that their crimes weren't serious enough to warrant arrest?"

Tian Jiangyue has been good to me, so no matter what, I can't just sit idly by.

"Looks like I'll have to go to Locust Tree Village. That old bastard, he even dares to touch my woman, he's really asking for trouble!"

His eyes turned slightly cold; he had indeed failed to handle the situation in Huai Shu Village properly.

He just didn't expect that even after reporting it to Zhao Erhu, it still wouldn't be resolved. That old bastard Wang Mancang really wouldn't change his ways.

The next morning, he rode his bicycle to the steel plant.

The gatekeeper, noticing he hadn't brought anything, asked with some surprise, "Little Chen, you didn't bring any pork today?"

Chen Jianming laughed and replied, "Where would we find so many wild boars?"

Upon entering the factory area, he went straight to the section chief's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A lazy voice came from inside the house.

Section Chief Liu was slumped in his chair, dozing off. Seeing him enter, he instantly became exceptionally enthusiastic: "Oh, it's Xiao Chen! What's up? Have you encountered any difficulties at work?"

Chen Jianming didn't beat around the bush and immediately stated his purpose: "Section Chief, I would like to ask for a few days off. I won't be able to report for duty for the next few days."

Section Chief Liu frowned: "Is there something wrong with your leave request?"

Chen Jianming sighed, his expression utterly sincere: "It's really hard to collect wild game these days. The department has given me an extra quota, so I'm planning to go somewhere further away and try my luck."

This trip to Huai Shu Village was partly for Tian Jiangyue's return to the city, and partly to deal with those two old bastards, Wang Mancang and Liu Neng.

On another note, this trip also provides an excuse for sourcing wild game.

After all, this is the capital city; how could we possibly run into hunters every day by sheer coincidence?

If he keeps bringing in a wild boar, people will inevitably become suspicious over time.

Section Chief Liu poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said in an official tone, "Little Chen, I heard from Xu Yun and Wang Hao about Deputy Section Chief Zhao causing you trouble. However, I can't do anything about him. I don't know what grudge you have against him, but I can tell you that Deputy Section Chief Zhao is the factory director's man."

As he spoke, he was also observing the young man's expression.

Section Chief Wang only said that this young man had a very important background, but after pressing him for a long time, he still couldn't find out what that background was.

Section Chief Liu also wanted to use this incident to test his background.

"One of the factory manager's men?"

Chen Jianming raised an eyebrow.

That's really strange, he doesn't even know the factory manager.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: he remembered the group of thugs he had encountered when he accompanied Shen Cui and Zhou Ya to the movies that day.

The one leading the group, Zhao Aotian, seems to be the factory director's son.

Could it be that Deputy Section Chief Zhao's targeting of me is related to Zhao Aotian?

He waved his hand and said calmly, "Section Chief, what are you saying? Deputy Section Chief Zhao is giving me more quotas because he values ​​me. How can you say he's making trouble for me? Without pressure, how can there be motivation?"

Section Chief Liu was taken aback, never expecting the other party to say that.

However, the section chief, being the section chief he is, quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Haha, well done! Young people should be like you, unafraid of difficulties and hardworking. I've approved your leave, go ahead!"

"Okay, section chief, I'm off."

After giving the message, Chen Jianming turned and left the section chief's office.

Just as they stepped out of the house, they ran into Xu Yun and Wang Hao.

Chen Jianming greeted them with a smile: "Sister Xu, Brother Hao."

Xu Yun asked with concern, "Xiao Chen, I was absent the other day due to some business. I heard that Deputy Section Chief Zhao gave you trouble? What are you planning to do?"

Chen Jianming feigned difficulty and replied, "What else can we do? We can't fight city hall. I just asked Section Chief Liu for leave and plan to go to the countryside to see if I can collect more wild game."

Xu Yun nodded: "Alright then, Xiao Chen, be careful."

Wang Hao said indignantly, "Fatty Zhao is no good at all. How can he make things so difficult for us? A quota of 300 jin a month, who can meet that?"

Xu Yun quickly pulled him back: "Alright, watch your mouth, there are people watching over there."

As he spoke, he pointed to Aunt Niu and Aunt Ma, who were eavesdropping not far away.

Wang Hao clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Xiao Chen, the countryside is not like the capital, be careful."

"Don't worry, maybe I'll get back three months' worth of food this time."

Chen Jianming smiled and responded.

Of the entire purchasing department, only Xu Yun and Wang Hao truly cared about him.

As for the others, they were all engaged in open and covert struggles, either trying to steal his business or waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Aunt Niu held a handful of sunflower seeds in her hand, her plump face trembling as she cracked them open and chatted, "Little Chen, where are you planning to go? Deputy Section Chief Zhao came by yesterday to ask how your monthly targets were going."

Chen Jianming deliberately sighed, "Auntie Pang... no, Auntie Niu, 300 jin is really hard to handle. I was too reckless before."

"I just took leave to go to the countryside to see if I can harvest more and meet my target sooner."
