Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

I returned to Nanluoguxiang just as it was time to get off work.

Chang Kun rushed to the state-run restaurant and saw Director Zhu leaving get off work carrying a small briefcase as soon as he entered.

It's funny, these days the state-run restaurant hardly has any customers, yet Director Zhu still has to pretend to be very busy every day.

That small briefcase contained the daily business revenue.

"Uncle Zhu."

"Little Kun, it's lunchtime, want to come eat?"

"Uncle Zhu, I've come to see you about something."

Director Zhu chuckled and pointed at Chang Kun: "It's rare that you want to see me! Come on, let's go to the office to talk."

The two sat at the desk, and Director Zhu poured tea for Chang Kun.

"Tell me, what can I do to help?"

Chang Kun recounted how his brother-in-law's job at the cannery had been taken away, and asked Director Zhu if he could arrange to have a drink with the cannery manager to find out what was going on.

"That's easy!"

He walked out of the office, returned three or four minutes later, and said with a smile, "I've sent someone to call him. It's after get off work now, he should be free. We've known each other for a long time, so we can discuss this."

Chang Kun was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you so much, Uncle Zhu."

"Hey," Director Zhu waved his hand, "There's no need to thank us. I haven't even thanked you for the wild boar and mutton you provided me the last few times."

Chang Kun didn't stand on ceremony anymore. Ever since he found his aunt a job at this state-run restaurant, he had a good relationship with Director Zhu.

The two chatted over tea, mentioning what happened at the Qianmen Railway Station Police Station yesterday.

In just one day, the news had spread throughout most of Beijing, and everyone with a little bit of influence knew about it. The public security system is now cracking down on it from top to bottom.

"Chang Kun, I heard that the head of the Qianmen Police Station will at least be sentenced to life imprisonment?"

Director Zhu was also very curious about this matter.

"Colluding with a theft gang has extremely serious consequences; the minimum sentence is life imprisonment, and it could be the death penalty!"

"Hiss!" Director Zhu gasped. It was so serious that a director-level official was about to be sentenced to death!

He frowned, carefully considering whether he had ever broken any laws or regulations, fearing that he might also be arrested.

"Hey Chang Kun, I have a question for you..."

"Uncle Zhu, what's the matter?" Chang Kun was a little puzzled as to why Uncle Zhu was suddenly speaking so cautiously.

"I sometimes bring some groceries home, I don't think the police can arrest me for that, right?"

Chang Kun was both amused and exasperated. Director Zhu was being far too cautious; he'd been scared into a state of panic by Ahui.

"Uncle Zhu, which unit doesn't do this kind of thing? The police won't get involved."

Chang Kun continued to reassure Director Zhu: "Uncle Zhu, that Director Ahui was accepting bribes from a theft gang. He accepted far too much, completely turning the Qianmen Railway Station into a mess, which is why he was given the maximum penalty."

"Yes! He deserves to be punished, severely punished!"

Director Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Taking some food and drinks from the office was nothing unusual for him.

The supply and marketing cooperative across the street does something even more outrageous; they often treat normal items as defective products and process them for their own employees.

These defective goods were not only much cheaper than normal goods, but they also didn't require receipts. No wonder the sales clerks of the supply and marketing cooperatives were the top of the eight major positions in those days.

The two men drank tea and chatted for more than half an hour when a thin, old man came in.

"Old Zhu, what good food do you have that you're treating me to?"

"Haha, Lao Ge is here... Let me introduce you. This young man is Chang Kun, who works at the railway police station. This is Lao Ge, the head of the cannery."

Old Ge was taken aback, glanced at Chang Kun a few times, and suddenly realized: "You... I remember you, last time you brought a blue sheep to this state-run restaurant, right?"

Chang Kun laughed and said, "Uncle Ge has a good memory; we met once before."

Director Zhu waved his hand: "No need for formalities, we're all on the same side. Chang Kun, if you ever have anything good, just don't forget your Uncle Ge."

"Old Zhu, is something wrong?"

"I have something to ask you about. It's lunchtime, let's eat and chat."

Old Ge nodded to Chang Kun, and the group took their seats.

Director Zhu prepared a lavish meal and even brought out his treasured vintage wines from his office.

"Old Ge, here's the situation. Can you take a look and tell me what to do?"

Director Zhu recounted the whole story and looked at Lao Ge, waiting for his response.

Old Ge gave an awkward smile: "I know about this... It was indeed Director Huang who came to make a request, but I didn't expect to run into one of our own people."

Director Huang?

Chang Kun was taken aback. Could it be Director Huang, who directed the operation yesterday?

"Uncle Ge, which Director Huang are you referring to?"

Old Ge explained it in detail, and it turned out to be Director Huang.

Chang Kun sighed inwardly; this kind of thing was inevitable no matter where he went.

Making requests and giving gifts, whether now or in later generations, are considered vulgar and unseemly, yet they are still common occurrences.

Even if I often do these things myself, as a human being, how can anyone be completely innocent and spotless?

"Chang Kun, this was my fault. Tell your brother-in-law to go straight to work."

After thinking for a moment, Lao Ge gave the result directly.

"Uncle Ge, what about Director Huang?"

Old Ge waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll add another position later and arrange it for Director Huang's brother-in-law."

Chang Kun thought for a moment, then took out two cigars from his pocket and handed them to Lao Ge and Grandpa Zhu.

"Gentlemen, please try this."

"Oh? This! Little Kun, where did you get this?!"

Old Zhu fiddled with his cigar, staring at Chang Kun in shock.

Old Ge was the same; people at their level had only ever seen cigars, but had never smoked one.

"A relative gave me a box, but I don't like smoking," Chang Kun said casually.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Kun, your relative is quite high-ranking!"

Old Ge couldn't resist taking out a match, lighting his cigar, and taking a satisfying puff: "This tastes really different. No wonder the leaders love smoking it."

"Uncle Ge, let's have a drink." Chang Kun raised his glass, toasted the two old men, and then asked.

"Uncle Ge, are there any other positions in our factory that you could consider transferring my brother-in-law to another job?"

Old Ge, understanding the implied meaning, asked directly, "Chang Kun, what position do you want to transfer your brother-in-law to? As long as it's within my authority, I won't say a word."

After all, he was the one who acted unfairly in the first place, so he couldn't very well refuse Chang Kun's request at this point.

Chang Kun already had a plan in mind, and said directly, "Uncle Ge, I wonder if there are any vacancies for drivers in the factory? My brother-in-law studied mechanics for a few days in the army, so he should be able to pick up a driver quickly."

Old Ge laughed and nudged Chang Kun: "You little rascal, you're picking the fattest cut of meat right off the bat!"

These days, being a driver in any company is a highly coveted position, one that many people would covet.

Chang Kun knew there was a chance, so he quickly took out his cigar box and divided the cigars into two portions for Lao Ge and Lao Zhu.

"Gentlemen, I don't really like these cigars either. Here, you can try the rest."

Director Zhu and Lao Ge exchanged a glance and burst into laughter at the same time.

This Chang Kun, despite his young age, is quite experienced in handling affairs!

"Okay! I'll take care of it later!"

Old Ge immediately agreed, not only for Chang Kun's cigars, but also out of respect for the relatives behind him.

Chang Kun was overjoyed, while his elder sister and brother-in-law were still waiting for the results at home.

If this news reached them, they would be overjoyed!
