[Reborn in the 1970s + Stockpiling in a Pocket Dimension + Taking Down the Worst of the Worst + Tough Guy and Sweet Romance + Building Wealth]
In her previous life, Shen Qinghe was a temporary worker in the factory cafeteria. Her family forced her to give up her housing allocation, and she also lost her chance at a permanent position. She struggled through half her life.
When she opens her eyes again, she's back on the day the list was changed. Her name has just been crossed off the honor board.
A canceled purchasing ticket lets her see where supplies are going, where to collect them, and the deadline. At the same time, she unlocks a pocket dimension she can carry with her.
Her first reward points straight to coal scraps in an old warehouse. She trades them for fuel on the spot, saves the cafeteria from shutting down, and makes everyone eat their words.
The tickets reveal where goods are headed, her pocket dimension keeps them fresh, and her experience from her past life lets her get ahead.
She wins back her home, holds on to her job, and takes on providing meals for a hundred workers at an old-city renovation site.
But her mother wants to trade her home for her older brother's permanent position, her sister-in-law blocks the door and demands her signature, and a well-connected rival cuts off her food supply and transfers her to the construction site, expecting her to quit.
The kitchen is about to close, and ordinary purchasing can't bring supplies in time.
Everyone says a temporary worker can't handle the responsibility, but construction team leader Zhou Junchuan sets down an unloading plank to help.
She finds supplies with her tickets and lays down the rules with her cooking; he braves the wind and rain, stands up to those who make trouble, and helps her turn a mess into a golden opportunity.
From one room to a courtyard, from a construction-site food stall to a cafeteria the whole neighborhood fights to get into, she'll turn every attempt to force her down into a step up.
"They're all waiting for you to lower your head."
Shen Qinghe tightens her apron. "Then I'll make them look up at me."
