[Urban] [Siheyuan] [Transmigration] [Single Heroine] [Feel-Good]
Lin Bei opened his eyes and found himself lying in a woodshed in a Beijing government compound in 1982.
He had gone three days without food. His landlord was demanding rent, and his second aunt was blocking the door. The original owner of this body was an orphan whose father had died and whose mother was gone. He had worked as a repairman at a factory for two years, and everyone had taken him for an easy target.
Fortunately, these days, Systems were all the rage among transmigrators too.
The Great Nation Cornerstone System activated. Sign-ins, missions, a points shop, supplies, skills, blueprints: it had everything he could want.
Starting with repairing a radio, Lin Bei began climbing out of the mire, one step at a time.
While others were coasting at the factory, he had already become a model technician. While others were still waiting to see how things would go, he had already earned his first fortune. By the time others caught on, his factory had already expanded beyond the province.
But making money wasn't what gave Lin Bei the biggest headache.
One day, he rescued a Peking University student who had come to the workshop for a social-practice assignment. Her name was Chen Zhiyi, widely known in her circles as the most beautiful woman in the capital. Cool, proud, and dismissive of everyone.
Yet she had set her sights on Lin Bei, a mere “machine repairman.”
The Chen family opposed them? Her grandfather wanted to put him to the test? A rival tried to sabotage him?
Lin Bei smiled. “Give me three years, and I'll make your father willingly accept me as his son-in-law.”
Later, when the Chen family faced a political crisis, Lin Bei stepped in and resolved it. On his deathbed, her grandfather clasped his hand. “Xiao Lin, the Chen family will be counting on you from now on.”
From a Siheyuan to a business empire, from repairman to chairman of a publicly listed company. Through thirty-eight turbulent years, Lin Bei proved with his life that even an ordinary man could turn his fortunes around, and that the times never let down those who strive.
