Siheyuan: From the Start, I Rise from Scrap Collector to Deputy Section Chief

Zhao Ke transmigrates into a Beijing courtyard compound and inherits the two rooms his uncle left him from the start.

His uncle was just killed by Jia Dongxu’s unauthorized operation, but Jia Zhangshi turns around and blames him, demanding the rooms and compensation right out of the gate.

The whole courtyard is eyeing the inheritance. Yi Zhonghai wants to lay down the rules, Qin Huairu wants to test him, and Banggeng is a future master thief.

But as soon as Zhao Jiaping picks up a broken table leg, the Waste-to-Treasure System activates.

A broken table can be refurbished, a junked bicycle can be repaired, and chipped porcelain can be restored to complete antiques.

While others think working at a salvage station is shameful, he trades his steel mill job for a position collecting scrap.

He finds national treasures in piles of junk, earns recognition by fixing broken machines, and rises from an ordinary procurement clerk to deputy section chief.

Only then do the courtyard busybodies realize that young Zhao, the scrap collector they looked down on, is the one with a truly bright future.
