Lu Jingchuan returns to 1955 and lays down one rule first: Nobody gets to take advantage of my family!
Someone in the compound scheming against him? He hits back!
Someone at the factory holding him back from a promotion? He'll let his new inventions do the talking!
He has the Hard Work Pays Off System. The more he practices a skill, the stronger it becomes, and his portable space keeps expanding.
A hand pump improves access to water, seat belts earn foreign currency, and a diesel engine paves the way for domestically made tractors!
Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide knows better than anyone that this young man is a treasure.
He fights for Lu Jingchuan's promotion, secures back pay, gets him a small courtyard, arranges bricks and tiles, and even finds a good job for his childhood sweetheart.
The State Administration of Steel Industry wants to recruit him, and a China Resources representative tries to poach him in person. Li Huaide is so anxious he can barely sit still!
But Lu Jingchuan stays at the factory, continuing his technical work and earning a genuinely good life through his achievements.
With his parents backing him, his childhood sweetheart by his side, and plenty of grain and meat in his space, life is good.
By the time those scheming fools come to their senses, he's already standing on the awards platform, an assistant engineer whom Deputy Factory Director Yang can no longer keep down!
