Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

When Master Jin saw that Nan Yi didn't say anything, he understood and put the fan back in the box.

"Comrade, if you intend to sell this item, you need to get a letter of introduction from your work unit, otherwise I dare not accept it."

Nan Yi looked at the box that had been pushed back in front of him, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Master Jin and asked.

"Master, let me make a deal with you. I guarantee this thing wasn't stolen or robbed."

"Could you please not issue a letter of introduction?"

Cao Xu and Master Jin exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

After the public-private partnership in 55, there were basically no private shops that specialized in buying and selling antiques and calligraphy. Instead, they were all operated by the government and named trust shops.

If needed, people can bring the relevant documents to the trust store to pledge or sell the item, and the price will be quoted by the on-site staff based on the condition of the item.

"Why, comrade? You have to give me a good reason, otherwise I won't dare to accept this."

Nan Yi glanced at Cao Xu behind him and saw that the man was drinking tea and looked unfamiliar, so he probably wasn't from their factory.

"To be honest with you, I just don't want the people in our factory to know that I have some family wealth. I'm afraid that someone will cause me trouble later."

Upon hearing this, Master Jin became suspicious. He didn't want anyone to know and was afraid of causing trouble.

"Hey comrade, you didn't steal this, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yi pointed to himself and said.

"Master, look at my face. At my age, do I look like someone who would steal something?"

Seeing the doubt still in Master Jin's eyes, Nan Yi shook his teeth and said.

"Here's what I'll tell you. If you know a place, you'll definitely believe me."

Do you know "Xiangyanghong Restaurant"?

Master Jin nodded.

"I know, that's our shop's canteen, Chef Guan's. He goes there every time he's on duty."

Nan Yi pressed for an answer.

Do you know what his name used to be?

Master Jin said.

"Of course I know, Yaheju."

Yaheju was originally owned by the Nan family. After the joint venture began, Yaheju was gradually redeemed over the years and eventually became public property.

After the buyout began, the company manager reported to the street office for approval and renamed it Xiangyanghong Restaurant.

After all, the family business was gone, and Nan Yi couldn't help but feel sad. He smiled bitterly.

"Master, my surname is Nan, the Nan of North and South."

Upon hearing this, Master Jin realized who the person in front of him was.

It's just that Yaheju has been gone for nearly ten years, and I never expected to see their descendants today.

"So you're from Manager Nan's family. I knew it! How could an ordinary family afford to bring out something like this?"

"Alright, alright, I'll take this."

"But this price... since you're from the Nan family, you must understand."

“If this were in the past, you could buy a three-courtyard house outside the front gate with just this fan.”

"However, society is different now. I can only give you one hundred yuan for this. Do you want to sell it or not?"

Master Jin's price was definitely low in terms of the fan itself, but it was acceptable in this era when gold was used to exchange for food.

"Master, look at this, it's a really good thing."

"This fan is from the Ming Dynasty, not to mention it has Wen Zhengming's calligraphy on it."

"Well, he must have more than a hundred dollars."

"How about this, you add another twenty, making it one hundred and twenty?"

Master Jin thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, 120 it is. I'll go and issue you the invoice."

Seeing Master Jin writing the ticket, Cao Xu stepped forward and greeted Nan Yi.

"Comrade, you're pawning this item now, so you must be short of money."

"Haven't you thought about redeeming this thing in the future?"

Nanyi Road.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to redeem it."

Cao Xu looked at Master Jin and asked.

"Master Jin, what is the latest time he can redeem this fan if he wants to?"

Master Jin responded.

"Most trust items are only held for one month after the invoice is issued."

"If the seller can return the principal within one month and pay a 10% storage fee, the purchase can be made."

Cao Xu looked at Nan Yidao.

"Then why not leave yourself a way out? It would be a shame to give up such a good item."

After saying that, Cao Xu greeted Master Jin and left.

He is now certain that both Nan Yi and Ding Qiunan are characters in that drama.

However, after merging into this world, it seems that many changes have occurred.

After leaving home, Cao Xu went to the Xiangyanghong Restaurant on the next street and ate something. After finishing his meal, he rode his bicycle back to the steel mill.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Sun Guofu sitting inside.

"Oh, Director Sun, what brings you here?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to check the time.

"Director, I'm not late, the timing is just right."

As Cao Xu said this, he was still wondering to himself, "Could it be that Ding Qiunan has changed her mind?"

Sun Guofu said, sitting in a chair.

"I'm not here to check up on you."

"I have some news for you first. The interrogation of the five people you arrested a few days ago has been completed."

"Upon investigation, it was found that the case they committed was an organized and premeditated theft of state property."

"The person has been taken away by the bureau. You handled this matter well and made our security chief proud."

Cao Xu thought to himself that it really was his gang committing the crime. When he made the move, he felt that these people were not ordinary workers.

Otherwise, Zhao Dong would not have been injured under his very nose.

"Master, you flatter me. It's all thanks to the leader's excellent guidance and your proper command."

Sun Guofu found Cao Xu's words quite agreeable, but he said something else entirely.

"Let's not talk about empty words. I prefer people who get things done."

"As long as you work hard, your efforts will eventually pay off."

"Don't you agree, Deputy Section Chief Cao?"

Cao Xu was taken aback when he heard this.

"Deputy Section Chief Cao?"

Sun Guofu smiled.

"You heard right. After review by the personnel department, it was submitted to the factory office for verification."

"From now on, you will be the deputy head of the security department of the steel rolling mill, in charge of the fourth, fifth and sixth security groups."

“Cao Xu, the first deputy head of the security section who is not yet twenty years old since the founding of the People’s Republic of China.”

"I hope you will continue to work hard and live up to the expectations of the factory leaders and the security department."

Sun Guofu is gone, but Cao Xu still feels like he's in a dream. It's only been a little over a month since he joined the factory.

He was indeed promoted from head of the security section to deputy head of the security section, completing a journey that would normally take others six or seven years.

"Cao Xu, congratulations! Old Sun was right. A nineteen-year-old deputy section chief is the first of its kind in our steel rolling mill."

"I'm getting jealous of you. I've been working in the factory for five years, and I'm still stuck there."

Cao Xu laughed after hearing Cheng Yuan's words.

"Congratulations to you too, Brother Yuan."

“I’m going to Corey, so the team leader position is naturally yours.”
