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

Shen Cui picked up a piece of roast duck and put it in her mouth, saying happily, "Of course! Brother Jianming even hunted bears down the mountain. He roasted the bear paws until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They were so delicious!"

Recalling her experience in the mountain cabin, she blushed and secretly glanced at Chen Jianming.

Zhang Lu's eyes widened immediately: "A bear? Really? That mountain is too dangerous!"

"There's not much to eat in the mountains. You can't survive without hunting wild game, so you have no choice but to risk going hunting."

"Just hearing about it is torture; you guys have really suffered."

"It's all in the past, why bring it up again? Come on, let's have a drink."

Chen Jianming raised his glass and clinked it with the two men's.

After a few drinks, the two, who were initially a bit reserved, started talking more.

Zhang Lu ate a few bites of food, then suddenly tugged at Shen Cui: "Cui Cui, I heard from people in the compound the other day that the college entrance examination has been reinstated. Haven't you considered it? I remember you had pretty good grades back then."

Shen Cui sighed: "Don't even mention it. After all these years in the mountains, I've forgotten almost everything I learned in books. If I went there, I'd probably be at the bottom of the class."

Then he looked at Chen Jianming and said, "Brother Jianming, what about you? Haven't you thought about the college entrance exam? With your abilities, you'd definitely be one of the top students."

He added a few more bites of food to their bowls, then waved his hand with a smile, saying, "I'm doing quite well working in the purchasing department right now. Let's secure our jobs first, and we can talk about studying later."

"That's true. The purchasing department is a lucrative position, and it would be a shame to give it up like this."

Shen Cui nodded, and with Zhang Lu present, she became much more restrained in her speech.

Zhang Lu was the same; with Shen Cui present, he was a little reserved when speaking and didn't dare to make too much eye contact with Chen Jianming.

Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost gone, the two looked at each other and prepared to leave.

Zhang Lu wiped her mouth and stood up first: "Thank you for your hospitality today, Xiao Chen. I'm a little dizzy, so I'll be going now."

"Brother Jianming, it's time for me to go too."

Shen Cui also stood up, drank a few glasses of wine, her face flushed, making her look even more charming and beautiful.

Chen Jianming felt a surge of emotion, but with Zhang Lu there, there was nothing he could do.

"You're leaving already? When do you have time to come visit again?"

"Don't worry, Jianming, I'll definitely come." Shen Cui lowered her head, agreed, and walked out of the house.

Chen Jianming thought for a moment, then quickly followed, saying, "Let me see you off."

Zhang Lu glanced at the two of them, and a surge of jealousy welled up inside her. She muttered to herself, "Men are all the same. Once they have a young girl, they forget about the old ones."

Chen Jianming escorted Shen Cui all the way to the courtyard gate, then looked back and saw that Zhang Lu had already gone back into the house.

Shen Cui's eyes burned with desire, but she deliberately kept her distance and said politely, "Brother Jianming, you should go back. I can go home by myself."

This little vixen is playing hard to get with him!

He pushed his bicycle out of the yard and said, "There's nothing to do back home, right? Since you're free, I'll take you to see a movie. I heard from the factory that there's a new movie that's pretty good."

Shen Cui stood at the courtyard gate, somewhat hesitant: "But I heard that movie tickets are hard to buy. At this time, the tickets for the new movies are probably all sold out."

Chen Jianming waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, let's go take a look first. If we really can't get tickets, we can just wander around together. Let's get on the bus."

Shen Cui blushed and hesitated for a moment before sitting in the back seat.

After the two left, several figures peering out from the alley entrance emerged.

"Damn it, this kid can talk a lot. My legs are numb from squatting. He's been spending money like water these days, always buying roast chicken or roast duck. He must have a lot of money hidden in his house. Come with me."

The scarred man at the head spat and led five or six thugs into the courtyard, sneaking into the main house when no one was around.

However, they were dumbfounded as soon as they entered!

The blond-haired guy rubbed his eyes: "Big brother, didn't you say this kid was rich? What's going on? He only has this much stuff, and it's cleaner than my house."

The scarred man slapped him on the head and yelled, "What the hell are you talking about? Do you have anything valuable out there? Capitalists like you are the best at hiding money. Search the place, dig three feet into the ground and find it for me."

Upon hearing this, the group of thugs started searching the thermos with a clatter, kicking it to pieces.

"Can't you guys be a little more careful? Keep it down, don't disturb the people in the yard," the scarred man cursed unhappily.

"Brother, there's really nothing valuable here. We've searched the whole place."

"Yes, brother, it seems we misjudged you this time."

The thugs responded with pained expressions.

"That can't be right! You guys must not have searched properly. I'll take over."

The scarred man frowned, somewhat disbelievingly searching the entire main house, even under the bed and in every nook and cranny, but he found nothing of value.

He immediately deflated: "Damn it, what bad luck. Looks like this kid didn't hide anything valuable at home."

"Brother, what do we do now?"

"Thieves never leave empty-handed. If there's nothing valuable, take all the tables and benches and leave nothing behind."

Under the command of the scarred man, one of the thugs acted as lookout while the others carried away tables, chairs, pots, pans, and other household items.

On the street, Chen Jianming rode his bicycle slowly.

Shen Cui sat in the back seat, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist: "Brother Jianming, you're a really good driver."

Chen Jianming chuckled and turned back to say, "Whether I'm a good driver or not, you'll find out in the mountains, won't you?"

"Hate."

Shen Cui blushed and slapped him.

People were coming and going on the street. After walking around a street corner, I suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Jianming, Jianming."

Zhou Ya, dressed in a dress, looked very elegant. She greeted Chen Jianming loudly when she saw him.

Chen Jianming parked his car and glanced at the car: "Huh? Zhou Ya, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

I didn't see either of them when I was strolling around the streets earlier.

Today is perfect, everything happened at the same time.

"I'm shopping, where are you going?"

Zhou Ya was initially overjoyed, but her face immediately fell when she saw Shen Cui in the back seat.

"We're planning to go to the movies. We heard there's a new movie showing that's pretty good."

"I want to go too, take me with you." Zhou Ya grabbed his arm.

Chen Jianming was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Zhou Ya to be so proactive.

The thought of Shen Cui being there gave him a sudden headache.

"Go where? Did I tell you to go?" Shen Cui retorted, sensing the other party's hostility.

Zhou Ya rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "What's it to you? I was asking Jianming, not you. Why are you interrupting?"

Shen Cui hugged Chen Jianming tightly around the waist and said angrily, "Of course it has nothing to do with me. Brother Jianming was taking me to see a movie, he didn't invite you."

Zhou Ya simply ignored her: "Jianming, are you going to let me go or not?"

"..."

Chen Jianming was speechless. What bad luck! He finally ran into these two, and now they were right next to each other, creating a chaotic scene!

He scratched his head awkwardly: "Since we've run into each other, let's go together."

Zhou Ya stuck out her tongue at Shen Cui: "Did you hear that? Your brother Jianming invited me too!"
