A Procurement Officer in the 1970s: I Rise to Fame and Fortune Thanks to Subtitles

For sixteen years, Zhou Putao had enjoyed smooth sailing and considered herself Heaven's own darling.

That changed on her first day at work, when she saw words above a coworker's head: [Putao couldn't have picked a worse time to show up. She's probably in for a world of trouble.]

Her self-assurance was shattered.

Because she really did suffer the worst bout of bad luck she'd had in sixteen years.

That alone would have been bad enough.

But then she saw words above the head of the person who'd brought her bad luck: [A perfect scapegoat, might as well make use of her.]

So was she about to get hit with another bout of bad luck???

Three months later, everyone in the purchasing department looked at Zhou Putao as if she were a ghost. It was hard to blame them: she had a knack for dodging every scheme aimed at her and completing each purchasing task perfectly.

They were all insanely jealous.

Six months later, everyone at the machinery factory looked at Zhou Putao like she was a treasure. Not only could she pinpoint the factory's “moles” and “leeches,” she could also see through foreign experts' schemes and save the factory from losses. How could she be anything but a treasure!!!

Zhou Putao was using the mysterious captions that had suddenly appeared to get herself promoted, earn more money, and claim all sorts of perks. Just as she was starting to let loose, she noticed the way everyone looked at her was becoming increasingly “complicated.”

But that didn't matter to her, because she'd realized she was Heaven's own darling once again~

A fun little scene…

“Putao, is it really okay to serve these dishes to the foreign experts?”

“Mother and Son Reunited, Snow on a Volcano, Peerless Sisters, Azure Dragon on Snow, Uniting the World. They're all grand dishes. What's the problem?”

Xiao Wang: “…”.
