Uncle: Reborn in 1984, I Refuse to Work in a Factory

Reborn in 1984, Cui Guoming realized he had returned to the moment just before graduating from college and starting work at a factory.

His two-year-old nephew Er Pang was pawing at his face beside the bed. His father was still the general manager of Dingqing Restaurant, his older sister had already gone overseas, and Li Xiaozhen, the girl with braided pigtails, was still just a waitress at the restaurant.

In his previous life, he’d gone straight to work at a machinery factory. He’d been laid off, started a business, and eventually made money, but he’d lost his father and wife and lived with a lifetime of regret.

This time, everything was still ahead of him.

The Different Career Experience System, which had awakened alongside him, gave him the confidence to change his fate.

Faced with a secure factory job within reach, Cui Guoming made a completely different choice.

“Dad, I’m not going to the machinery factory. I’m taking over Dingqing Restaurant and making it thrive again.”

“You? Give yourself three days! If you can make the restaurant a hundred yuan in net profit in three days, I’ll let you try!”

A three-day deadline. A high-stakes gamble.

Under everyone’s skeptical gaze, Cui Guoming put up a blackboard announcing “A Three-Day Makeover.”

From improving the menu and creating new services to dealing with the veteran kitchen staff’s doubts and seizing the opportunities of the times...

He was determined to save not only a century-old restaurant in decline, but also his father’s unfulfilled dream and the bright future his wife should have had.

From restaurant manager to independent vendor, from middleman trader to one of the country’s first stock investors... Every career experience brought him huge rewards and helped him make up for the regrets of his previous life, one step at a time.

This is 1984. This is a different life for Cui Guoming, the old uncle.
