Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

Wei Wanqing stood beside a hand-operated tractor, directing several workers to unload goods from it. The busy, capable woman didn't even notice Liu Weidong not far away; her attention was entirely focused on the goods.

Wei Wanqing was already very fashionable, and now that the weather was getting warmer, her clothes were relatively thin. This made her tall and voluptuous figure appear even more curvaceous, attracting many young men passing by to steal glances at her.

Liu Weidong was different from the other men; while they would steal a few glances, he stared openly. Standing just a few steps behind Wei Wanqing, he brazenly sized up her graceful figure.

Many people noticed Liu Weidong and cast disdainful glances at him. They all thought this guy was too audacious and would definitely be in trouble if that beautiful woman found out!

Just then, Wei Wanqing seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned her head to look, immediately seeing Liu Weidong not far away.

Those who despised Liu Weidong suddenly perked up, all thinking that he was definitely going to be in trouble this time.

To everyone's surprise, the beautiful woman was not angry at all. Instead, she took the initiative to go up to the guy who was peeping at her and started talking to him!

This made many men who had been secretly watching Wei Wanqing regret their actions. If they had known it was so easy to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman, they would have done it long ago. Now, someone else had beaten them to it!

The strong woman seemed to have forgotten the awkwardness of the last time and asked Liu Weidong with surprise, "What brings you here?"

"I knew right away that my dear senior sister was here, so I made a special trip to see you." Liu Weidong said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns, senior sister, I've really missed you so much!"

Wei Wanqing knew Liu Weidong was talking nonsense, but she was still amused by him and laughed heartily, saying, "Hmph, all you do is spout nonsense!"

Liu Weidong, of course, would not admit it, and said in a serious tone, "Senior sister, you have wronged me. These are all the truth!"

"Alright, alright, save those sweet words for those naive young girls!" The strong woman wasn't as easily fooled as Wang Shujuan, and quickly became serious, saying, "I'm here to deliver goods today. Our sunflower seeds are very popular; we've sold over a thousand catties in less than a month. This is my third time delivering goods here!"

The fact that the sunflower seeds were selling so well was somewhat beyond Liu Weidong's expectations. It just goes to show how incredibly easy business was in this era of nascent private economy. For someone like him, a reborn individual who had witnessed the fierce competition of his later life, this time of year was practically a goldmine!

Seeing that Liu Weidong was also stunned, Wei Wanqing said smugly, "So there are things you can't imagine. It seems you can't do everything. I overestimated you!"

Being openly looked down upon by a powerful woman was something Liu Weidong couldn't tolerate, so he immediately decided to show her what he was capable of.

So Liu Weidong smiled slightly and asked Wei Wanqing unhurriedly, "Senior sister, now that you know the melon seeds are selling so well, what are your plans next?"

The strong woman said, bewildered, "What else can we do but keep delivering to the store! I've calculated it; based on the current situation, we can sell at least two thousand catties of sunflower seeds every month. As long as we can keep going, you'll soon be a ten-thousand-yuan household!"

Liu Weidong said seriously, "Now that our sunflower seeds have passed the market test, we should press our advantage and find ways to promote them throughout the city, the province, and even the country, to capture a larger market share!"

Now it was Wei Wanqing's turn to be surprised. She stared in disbelief and said, "You...you really think so?"

"Of course, how much of a future can one have by staying in this small county town?" Liu Weidong immediately retorted, then gently shook his head and said, "Sigh, I really didn't expect that you, Senior Sister, have such a narrow vision. You really disappoint me!"

Now it was the strong woman's turn to be unhappy. She reached out and pinched Liu Weidong's waist, saying, "Hmph, I have a narrow vision, you're more successful than me, is that alright now?"

"Ouch!" Liu Weidong cried out, "Senior sister, you're really addicted to pinching me, aren't you? If you keep doing that, I'm going to fight back! Watch out, or I'll pinch you back!"

However, the strong woman didn't take Liu Weidong's warning seriously at all, and straightened her chest and said: "Come on, if you have the guts, then twist me!"

Liu Weidong glanced at Song Wanqing's ample chest and asked her with a look of surprise, "Can I twist here too?"

The strong woman then realized that her chest was almost touching Liu Weidong's, and she quickly took a step back and hissed, "How dare you, you filthy scoundrel!"

Liu Weidong's face immediately fell, and he shook his head in disappointment, saying, "I knew the prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie. She's made me happy for nothing again!"

Despite her fierce appearance, Wei Wanqing was actually incredibly embarrassed inside. She glared at Liu Weidong fiercely before turning and leaving.

Liu Weidong quickly caught up to remind her, "Senior sister, don't forget about the garment factory!"

Liu Weidong didn't want Wei Wanqing to abandon her garment factory plan because of the good business of sunflower seeds; that would be a huge mistake on his part.

As they walked, the strong woman told Liu Weidong, "I remember everything you said. I've already found a factory!"

Liu Weidong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. The garment factory is your main business, so don't give it up!"

"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded!" Wei Wanqing gave Liu Weidong a coquettish glare, her aloof and mature demeanor suddenly becoming more charming. Even Liu Weidong was somewhat moved and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Wei Wanqing also noticed that Liu Weidong's gaze was a bit strange, so she quickly turned her head away from him, and the atmosphere immediately became subtle.

"Comrade Wei, Comrade Liu, you've both arrived!" Fortunately, Wang Hao, the manager of the state-owned store, hurried over and greeted the two men loudly, thus resolving the awkward situation.

Liu Weidong immediately strode towards Wang Hao, beaming, and said, "Haha, Manager Wang, long time no see! My senior sister told me the sunflower seeds are selling very well. Thank you for your strong support!"

Looking at Liu Weidong, who seemed completely unaffected, Wei Wanqing couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Hmph, this scoundrel, he's really good at pretending!"

Wang Hao happily told the two that the store had already sold over 1,800 jin of sunflower seeds so far. Based on this, selling 2,500 jin of sunflower seeds every month would be no problem at all!

Liu Weidong was also very happy and said to Wang Hao with a smile, "We sold sunflower seeds and the store's income increased. This is what I mean by a win-win situation."

"Comrade Liu is right!" Wang Hao nodded repeatedly, then said with a smile, "I have a friend who is the leader of a state-run store in the next county. He saw that my sunflower seeds are selling so well, so he asked me to ask you two if we could supply some sunflower seeds to his store as well?"
