Transmigrated to the Nineties: Selling Spicy Strips to Become a Factory Boss

[A sharp-tongued, scheming, anything-goes heroine who stops at nothing to achieve her goals, and a naive, wealthy wastrel with a troubled background who makes an ideal husband] Note: The author focuses on plot, and the romance is rather weak. Please read with caution if that bothers you. A gas explosion sends Helan, manager of a food court, from 2023 into the body of Zhao Shani in 1993. The moment she opens her eyes, she faces the prospect of being buried alive as a human sacrifice. Fortunately, there's a way out. Her mother-in-law, Jiang Miaoying, helps her escape. The two women disguise themselves as mother and daughter, and in a place where they know no one, they set up a street stall selling latiao, a beloved Chinese snack. The village chief, a dedicated public servant with a keen eye for talent, partners with the pair to start a latiao factory. Helan lives up to his expectations: she helps Jiang Miaoying escape her misery and begin a new life, and, just as the village chief hoped, she builds the factory into a thriving business that benefits every villager. But after the village chief passes away, the pests lurking in the shadows waste no time crawling out. The partnership agreement is voided, and the factory is forcibly sold to a foreign company. No matter how hard Helan tries, she can't stop the whole enterprise from going under. With factories and time-honored brands everywhere being devoured by foreign capital, Helan decides to stand tall and make it on her own. Lacking startup capital? No problem. One rich wastrel tells her: Whatever you need, if I have it, take as much as you want. Watch as a fierce soul from the 21st century surges ahead and fights her way through the turbulent currents of the 1990s.
