Siheyuan: You Hate My High Salary, So I Quit. Why Are You Crying?

[No Saintly Do-Gooder + Scheming + Revenge the Same Day + Won't Let Anyone Walk All Over Him + Well-Rounded]

Huo Feng transmigrates to the 1950s, where he and Bai Ling have been childhood friends.

When his childhood sweetheart wants to start a factory, Huo Feng doesn't hesitate to put his skills to work.

The steelworks thrives, and with nothing left to do, Huo Feng steps back behind the scenes. But the leaders, headed by Bai Ling, fire him outright for “slacking off and shirking his duties.”

Bai Ling: The factory's flourishing now. It makes no difference whether you're here or not.

Fine, fine. So this is how you repay the man who helped you get where you are.

Huo Feng leaves without a fuss, and that very day, the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill poaches him with a generous offer.

After settling into his new home, he runs into Yan Bugui and suddenly understands: this is a crossover world. Interesting.

The Siheyuan is packed with scheming fools, and scoundrels are everywhere.

Jia Zhangshi: You have so much food and you can make money too. What's wrong with giving my family some?

Qin Huairu: Brother Huo, there's no man in my family. You look like a good match for me.

Bang Geng: Grandma says your home is my home.

Yi Zhonghai: Ever heard of respecting your elders and caring for the young? You'll support me in my old age from now on.

The Deaf Old Lady: I'm the family matriarch. All the meat in this house should be offered to me.

Liu Haizhong: I'm Second Master. Show me some respect from now on!

Faced with this crowd of weirdos, Huo Feng can't stop grinning. This isn't a yard full of beasts, it's his amusement park!

At home, he teases the scoundrels and enjoys the good life.

At the factory, he takes command and leads the whole steelworks to greatness and onto the world stage.

Years later, Bai Ling drops to her knees in tears, begging for forgiveness: Huo Feng, please come back. I can't do this without you!
