Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

"Old Huang, do you know this guy?"

As Li Chenfeng brought Shen Dong in, Lao Huang came over and pulled Shen Dong aside.

Old Huang didn't speak, but sighed, "This child's name is Qiu Xiaojun."

Shen Dong turned his head and glanced at him without saying anything; he knew that Lao Huang had more to say.

A slight breeze picked up that evening. Old Huang dusted off his cigarette ash and continued, "This child has had a hard life! His father is dead, his mother is mentally unstable, and he has an older sister who takes care of the whole family."

"Because he was bullied as a child, he started fighting, but he never did anything petty like stealing chickens or dogs."

"I also helped him when the factory was doing well a few years ago."

"Judging from his appearance, something might have happened to him since he came to steal. Let's go over and ask him."

Shen Dong nodded, observing Qiu Xiaojun as he walked.

Her cheeks were thin, and her dull eyes were hidden beneath her long hair.

Wearing a pair of ripped cloth shoes, you could vaguely see her toes, and the soles were as thin as paper.

"What's going on, Xiaojun?"

Old Huang gestured for him to let go of his hand.

Qiu Xiaojun didn't look up or say anything, just hunched over.

"Not going to say anything? Then I'll go ask your sister!" Old Huang made a move to leave.

"No, don't tell my sister!" Qiu Xiaojun finally raised his head, grabbed Lao Huang's arm, and pleaded excitedly.

Old Huang didn't say anything, he just stared at him.

Qiu Xiaojun opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My sister is sick, and we have no money. I was desperate, so I went to a loan shark. He said that the yogurt at the factory is selling like hotcakes, and if I could get some, he would..."

"So you came here to steal?" Old Huang interrupted him sternly, angrily saying, "You've disappointed me greatly!"

"I didn't intend to steal it. I brought an IOU, thinking I'd pay it back when I made some money..." Qiu Xiaojun pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, his voice growing softer and softer.

Shen Dong took it and saw that it was indeed as he had described—an IOU.

At this moment, Lao Hu, having finished inspecting the warehouse with Tong Na, came over to say that nothing was missing.

Old Huang's tense face finally relaxed.

"Then why don't you go to Station Chief Li? He always says that your family's business is his business." Old Huang said, and then whispered to Shen Dong that Station Chief Li was Li Zelin, the station chief of the commune's agricultural machinery station.

Upon hearing the name, Qiu Xiaojun spat and said disdainfully, "Our family would rather starve to death than accept their help."

"That old bastard doesn't even know what kind of person his son is, wanting to marry my sister? What a load of rubbish!"

"You think you can get my family to agree by spending money? I'd rather steal than accept that old bastard's kindness."

Tang Yue and the others listened from the side and finally understood the whole story.

Li Zelin had only one son, Li Tong, who, relying on his father's doting and status, acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the commune.

He often invites friends to play cards at various venues.

Everyone had heard of him, but no one expected that his family would take a liking to Qiu Xiaojun's sister.

"How much does it cost for your sister to see a doctor?" Shen Dong observed him carefully and could tell from his tone whether he was lying before he spoke.

Qiu Xiaojun had noticed Shen Dong long ago, assuming he was just a factory employee. When he heard him speak, he looked at Lao Huang with suspicion.

"His name is Shen Dong. The yogurt you ordered was produced by him in cooperation with the factory."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiaojun realized that the person opposite him was someone important and immediately took it seriously.

"We went to see a doctor, and they said it was acute appendicitis and moderate anemia. The doctor said it would cost... 50 yuan to cure it."

Shen Dong didn't say anything, but took out the money he had just received that day from his pocket and pulled out 80 yuan.

Qiu Xiaojun's eyes were red-rimmed as he said excitedly, "That's too much! We don't need that much!"

"Take it, I know what I'm doing!"

"You can have it!" Old Huang said when he saw that he didn't move.

Qiu Xiaojun then accepted it, and the 13-year-old boy was already in tears, bowing deeply in gratitude.

He choked back a few sobs, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and then tried to find paper and pen to write an IOU.

Shen Dong held him down and told him to hurry home and take his sister to the hospital.

Qiu Xiaojun carefully hid the money and walked away, looking back every few steps.

After the person left, everyone continued working. Shen Dong treated it as an unexpected incident during work hours and didn't take it seriously until Li Tong came looking for him a few days later, at which point he realized the seriousness of the situation...

"Sit down, Xiao Shen!"

It was the same familiar tea, and Wang Yuan warmly received Shen Dong.

"Finally, you have some free time! I heard from the dairy factory that they're selling like hotcakes! Everyone's grabbing them!"

Shen Dong bent down to take the teacup, smiling as he said, "It's all thanks to everyone. Without their contributions, this wouldn't have been possible!"

Wang Yuan nodded at him humbly, "You don't need to be so modest. If it's your achievement, it's definitely yours!"

The two chatted about everyday things, and Shen Dong quickly told Wang Yuan that he needed Wang Yuan's help.

"Brother Wang, I want to buy a bicycle, but as you know, they're selling so well. So I was thinking of seeing if you have any connections to help me inquire. If you do, could you reserve one for me? The price is negotiable!"

Wang Yuan thought he was being asked about something important, and immediately assured him, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

"Hey Lao Feng, it's me. Right, you still have the bicycle, right? What brand? ...It's Forever, you still have it, right? Okay, please reserve one for me."

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to drinks next time."

Shen Dong quickly stood up to express his gratitude.

I had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative several times, and faced the sales staff's disdain on several occasions, but now I can get it done with just one phone call.

"Do you have tickets?" Wang Yuan asked, opening the drawer.

"Yes! Yes!" Shen Dong refused several times before Wang Yuan believed that he really had it and wasn't just being polite.

Shen Dong had already prepared to buy a bicycle, which he bought for 50 yuan on the black market – ridiculously expensive!

If I couldn't bear the dust and grime of walking, I wouldn't want to spend my money here.

Shen Dong also gave Wang Yuan the few cans of yogurt he had brought, which made Wang Yuan express his gratitude.

Then he prepared for the second training session.

This presentation will focus on unconventional case presentations and treatments.

Because of the impact of the last class, technicians from other communes came to listen to the lecture today.

Originally, it was arranged to be inside the house, but there was no other way but to move it to a larger courtyard.

Thanks to the system's assistance, the information that Shen Dong compiled was all brand new.

The room was very quiet for a moment. Shen Dong was explaining on the stage, and the people below were frantically taking notes, with no time to think.

That's what you call professional!

When you possess skills that others don't have and reach heights that others can't reach, you can disregard age and wealth and become a person worthy of respect.

"good!"

Yang Yujun arrived at some point and led the applause at the end of the lecture.

"Director." Shen Dong smiled as he packed his things and followed Yang Yujun to his office.

I had just sat down when I saw Liu Gui walk in with a smile.

The smile gradually faded, and a shadow fell over my heart.
