Rekindling 1978: From Street Stalls to a Trillion

In 2023, debt-ridden boss Chen Lei opened his eyes and found himself reborn in 1978!

He'd become a good-for-nothing who owed 30 yuan and was being chased down, and his mother was forcing him to marry Li Guifen, a shrewish woman with a "husband-killing fate"?

"You want me to marry a jinx? No way!"

The moment the words left his mouth, reality slapped Chen Lei hard. In this era, even a piece of dacron was hard to come by. Without money, he couldn't take a single step!

Luckily, he had returned with forty years' worth of memories, and knew every opportunity the Reform and Opening Up would bring!

He dealt in digital watches on the black market, sold scallion pancakes from a street stall, and leased an orchard to grow out-of-season produce... While everyone else was still earning work points, he'd already quietly made a fortune!

A village bully tries to steal his money? He turns around and sends him to labor camp!

Greedy relatives come looking for a handout? He digs up their dirty past and exposes it to the whole village!

They accuse him of profiteering? Next thing they know, he's a ten-thousand-yuan household, with the commune secretary personally offering him a cigarette!

But what was the deal with his shrewish wife?

At first, she glared at him with hostility. Later, she secretly saved him the biggest dumpling, and even grabbed a shoulder pole to defend him, yelling, "No one gets to bully my man!"

Chen Lei looked at the rapidly growing numbers in his bank account, then at the blushing Li Guifen beside him, and smiled.

"Wifey, do you know how tall the skyscrapers of the future are? We won't just live in one. We'll show all of China that ordinary people can live a legendary life too!"

From a street stall to a business empire, from a bickering couple to a match made in heaven, watch as this reborn man rides the wave of Reform and Opening Up, turns the times upside down, and defies fate!
