[Lighthearted and Silly + Period Drama + System + Beloved by All + Feel-Good + Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger]
After waking up, Su Tang, a billionaire CEO, finds herself in the 1970s, transmigrated into the factory director’s notorious “spendthrift daughter.”
The original owner was all looks and no brains, a spoiled troublemaker who went to ridiculous lengths to pursue a scumbag. She caused a scene at home and turned the factory upside down.
In the end, the scumbag swindled her out of the family fortune, got her father dismissed from his post, and dragged the whole family into a miserable life of exile in the countryside.
Now in the original owner’s body, Su Tang faces the hatred of the entire factory workforce and the scumbag’s hungry gaze. Then, by chance, she binds herself to the “Spendthrift Cashback System.”
[Ding! Every yuan you spend on the “collective” will be returned tenfold to your private space! Countdown: 30 days. Fail to activate the System, and you’ll drop dead on the spot!]
Su Tang: ??? Is this forcing me to become a living Lei Feng for the new era?
Soon, the workers at Hongxing Factory notice that the despised director’s daughter has completely changed her tune.
While everyone else wears gray-blue work clothes, she “wastes money” buying up bright fabric that’s been sitting in storage and gives all the women workers new clothes as a perk.
When everyone thinks the supply-and-marketing cooperative is hopelessly old-fashioned, she “wastes money” renovating the place and even starts a “buy three, get one free” promotion.
When a sister factory is on the verge of bankruptcy, she “wastes money” buying up its “scrap metal,” then turns it into the “Tangtang” bicycles that take the whole country by storm.
Her father clutches his chest every day. “You unfilial girl! You’re going to spend the whole family into ruin!”
Not long afterward, as he watches the money in their account grow and the factory become a national model workplace, her father is moved to tears. “Daughter, I’m begging you, waste a little more!”
And the aloof technician she “coaxed” into coming home with her has started looking at her differently, too.
“Tangtang, my skills and my person belong to you from now on.”
