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

Of course, he couldn't tell Xu Yun these things, otherwise she would probably think he was out of his mind.

He smiled and said, "Sister Xu, you don't need to worry about that. It's just a matter of visiting a few villages; I'm not afraid of the trouble."

Are you sure?

Xu Yun blinked, her face full of surprise.

She had never seen someone with such a powerful background who was so eager to cause trouble for herself.

In the past, those rich kids who just wanted to get seniority would never even show up a few times after reporting for duty, let alone be assigned any tasks.

"Don't worry, no matter how troublesome it is, I can get it done."

"Alright, then I won't try to persuade you anymore. Currently, the quota for wild game and mountain products is only 100 catties per month, because it is exclusively supplied to the leaders. Things like pheasants, wild ducks, and wild fruits are all included."

Seeing that the young man in front of her was clearly someone important, yet he was not afraid of hard work and took the initiative to take on the most troublesome tasks, Xu Yun's eyes showed more appreciation.

This time he's not a complete idiot!

She leaned closer and whispered, "To be honest, to meet our quotas, we usually buy chickens from the villagers to fill the numbers. Where are we supposed to find so many real wild game? You can do that too, just don't get caught."

"Thank you, Sister Xu."

Chen Jianming smiled and thanked her. This woman had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she was very beautiful even with light makeup. She was also so warm and friendly.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister Xu, is there any price standard for purchasing these wild game? I don't want the things I buy to be overpriced and cause discrepancies with the factory's accounts."

"some."

Xu Yun picked up a form from the table and handed it over: "This shows the prices of various wild game and mountain products. As long as the prices aren't too high, it'll be fine. Once you receive the game, just send it directly to the warehouse."

Chen Jianming glanced at it and his eyes lit up. The prices of various wild game were twice as high as outside.

As expected of a large state-owned factory, they are truly impressive in this regard!

However, considering that this was purchased for the leaders, it's not surprising, since leaders are picky eaters.

"Okay, there's nothing much going on right now. I'll take you to the logistics warehouse first, so you don't come back later and can't find the place when you bring back the game."

"In addition, considering that purchasing mountain products and wild game requires traveling a long distance, the factory provides transportation. I will process the formalities for you in a moment, and you can pick up a bicycle when you leave."

Xu Yun stood up. This young man was so sensible and polite, and he even took the initiative to ask about her work. She was increasingly satisfied with him.

And he's so handsome!

"You still have bicycles?"

Chen Jianming was secretly pleased. Although he had one himself, he figured he might as well take advantage of the free one.

Shougang Steel Plant was definitely the right choice!

He followed Xu Yun, and amidst the whispers of the other employees, they left the purchasing department's office area.

Along the way, Xu Yun enthusiastically introduced him to various aspects of the factory.

The warehouse is not far from the office area; you just need to walk through two workshops to get there. The canteen is right next to it, and it looks quite large.

It wasn't lunchtime yet, but the workers and cooks in the canteen were already busy preparing food, and the aroma of dishes kept wafting out.

"This is the canteen of our steel plant. Because the work in our plant is quite hard, we pay a lot of attention to the food. There are eight large canteens and four small canteens in total, with both meat and vegetables, and a wide variety of dishes."

As Xu Yun spoke, she patted her head and pulled out a few meal tickets from her pocket: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot. You need specific meal tickets to enter our factory canteen. Take these meal tickets first, you can try them at the canteen at noon, and I'll help you apply for more later."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xu."

"No need to be so polite. It's rare to see such a humble young man like you."

The two walked and talked as they entered the warehouse.

The warehouse was spacious and divided into several areas, with various items piled up haphazardly inside.

"Xiao Liu, what are you busy with? Come out here!"

As soon as she entered the warehouse, Xu Yun shouted loudly.

"Sister Xu? What brings you here?" A young man ran out of a room.

"Can't I come?"

Xu Yun rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Chen Jianming and introduced him: "This is Xiao Chen. He was just assigned to our purchasing department today. The department head personally arranged for him. He'll be in charge of purchasing wild game and mountain products from now on. I brought him here to hand over the work to you."

"Hello, hello, my name is Liu Feng. When you buy wild game and mountain products, just come here and give them to me, and I'll give you a receipt."

Upon hearing Xu Yun's words, Liu Feng took the initiative to introduce himself, showing great enthusiasm.

"Hello, my name is Chen Jianming."

He shook hands with the other person, knowing full well that Xu Yun had specifically pointed out that he was arranged by the section chief so that he wouldn't be made difficult in the future.

"Alright, it's good that you two know each other. Xiao Liu, you go ahead with your work, we won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, take care, Sister Xu. Come back again!"

Stepping out of the warehouse, Chen Jianming walked side by side with Xu Yun, taking in everything inside the steel plant.

Xu Yun glanced at him: "Xiao Chen, it's your first day at work, don't be so reserved, and don't rush to start working. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You can familiarize yourself with the factory first, and then officially start work tomorrow."

"By the way, I'll apply for the bicycle for you when I get back. You can just go to Liu Feng's place to pick it up; he's in charge of all those things."

"Okay, Sister Xu, I understand."

Chen Jianming responded and watched Xu Yun leave before wandering around the steel plant.

It must be said that Shougang Steel Plant truly lives up to its reputation as one of the eight major steel plants in western Beijing, boasting a massive scale and a full range of facilities.

Overall, it looks like a small town.

He walked around the factory with great interest; all the production workshops were busy, emitting the roar of machines.

"It really is a one-stop service, starting from childhood and finally sending them directly to work in the factory."

Along the way, there were all sorts of places, such as clinics, kindergartens, sanatoriums, and technical schools.

Before long, it was lunchtime. Workers from various workshops gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing as they headed to the canteen.

He patted his stomach and realized he was indeed a little hungry. He happened to walk to the No. 3 canteen and went straight in.

The cafeteria is quite spacious, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

The workers lined up and used their special meal tickets to get their food.

Standing at the back of the line, I glanced around and saw that the canteen had a very complete range of food, including braised pork, spare ribs, roast chicken, cabbage soup, and pickled vegetable tofu. It had both meat and vegetables, which was considered very good food in those days.

And it's quite cheap. Meat dishes like braised pork and braised chicken are only 25 cents a serving, while other semi-vegetarian dishes are only 12 cents, and some purely vegetarian dishes are only 8 cents.

It wasn't long before it was his turn. He picked up a plate and walked to a window.

"Auntie, I'd like a serving of braised pork, a serving of roast chicken, two steamed buns, and a cabbage soup."

"Alright, young man, you look very handsome. If your hand doesn't shake, I'll give you a little extra."

Someone behind her joked, "Auntie, does your hand shake when you serve food? Does it depend on how well you look?"

"Go away, go away, stop causing trouble!"

...

Chen Jianming got his food, found a seat, and was about to start eating when he heard a familiar voice coming from in front of him.

"Come quick, come quick! There's an empty seat!"

"Why are you running so fast? Be careful not to spill the soup!"
