After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

"You can never truly know a person's heart just by looking at their face! Zhao Rou looks so innocent, I never expected her to be this kind of person!"

"Chen Ming's dad, are you alright now? No wonder you weren't home the other day. Stay away from that kind of woman as soon as possible!"

Zhao Rou's face was deathly pale, her whole body was trembling, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.

"Chen Ming, you...you're lying! I didn't...I didn't..."

"Whether you have it or not, you know it in your heart!" Chen Ming looked at her coldly, his tone icy.

"I advise you to be smart and give my things back right now, then get out of my sight! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Zhao Rou's mother grabbed Zhao Rou and tried to run away. "Let's go! Don't bother with people like this!"

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Chen Ming grabbed Zhao Rou's arm and pulled her back forcefully.

"You're trying to leave before you've even returned your belongings?"

Zhao Rou stumbled as Chen Ming pulled her, and she almost fell.

She cried out, "Let me go! You're hurting me!"

Chen Ming's eyes were icy, and his tone was chilling, "If you don't return my things today, I'll expose all the dirty things you've done in the past!"

Zhao Rou and her daughter trembled with fear at Chen Ming's gaze, but in the end they obediently returned the gold necklace, jade bracelet, and mink coat to Chen Ming.

Looking at their disheveled figures, Chen Ming felt no pity whatsoever.

After the banquet ended, Chen Ming returned home.

Chen Ming's father, Chen Yitian, was sitting in the courtyard smoking his pipe when he saw Chen Ming return, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaoming, you did a great job today. You didn't bring shame to the Chen family!"

Chen Ming sat down next to his father, took the pipe his father offered him, and took a deep drag.

"Dad, I know I've done a lot of foolish things in the past and caused you a lot of worry."

"To err is human, to forgive divine." Chen Yitian patted Chen Ming on the shoulder.

"Xiaoming, Dad knows you're suffering, but you must remember, there's no hurdle in life you can't overcome. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll definitely be able to create your own success!"

"Dad, I know." Chen Ming nodded.

"I will no longer let the people in front of me cloud my judgment. I will continue to work hard, stay grounded, and protect our home!"

After chatting for a while, Chen Yitian got up and went back to his room to rest.

Chen Ming sat in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

After being reborn, he found that he viewed everything through a new filter.

Zhao Rou, who once haunted his dreams, now only disgusts him; the simple life that once brought him satisfaction now seems so narrow-minded.

He needs to change, a complete change, not only for revenge, but also for himself and for his family.

He recalled the scene from his previous life when he was sleeping in winter, shivering from the cold.

In the rural areas of northern China in the 1980s, winters were as cold as iceboxes, and sleeping depended entirely on sheer willpower and a few tattered quilts.

If only I had an electric blanket… This thought flashed through Chen Ming’s mind. It seemed that this matter could not be delayed any longer and had to be implemented as soon as possible.

The next morning, Chen Ming couldn't wait to tell his father, Chen Yitian, about his idea of ​​an electric blanket.

After listening, Chen Yitian was stunned for a moment, then tapped his fingers, which were holding a pipe, on the table and fell into deep thought.

"An electrically heated blanket? Wouldn't that electrocute someone? Is this thing safe?"

The older generation's fear of electricity is deeply ingrained, and Chen Yitian's reaction was within Chen Ming's expectations.

"Dad, it's absolutely safe!" Chen Ming assured him, patting his chest.

"I will design a safety device, there will absolutely be no problems!" He explained the working principle and safety measures of the electric blanket to his father in detail.

From the material of the heating wire to the temperature control switch, every detail was meticulously considered to alleviate the father's concerns.

"If this thing is successfully made, it will definitely make a lot of money!"

Chen Yitian was skeptical, but seeing the light in his son's eyes, he chose to believe him.

I also know that if this thing can really be made, it will definitely be a good thing.

“Okay, I’ll go and discuss this with your uncles.”

Chen Ming felt a warmth in his heart; he knew his father was doing everything he could to support him.

The Chen family is a large clan, and several of Chen Ming's uncles and aunts are quite influential in the village.

When Chen Yitian shared Chen Ming's idea, everyone became interested.

"This electric blanket sounds novel!" Uncle Chen Yishan said with great interest, stroking his chin.

"If we can really make it, it will be so warm to sleep in winter!" Second Uncle Chen Yishui also agreed.

"Xiao Ming, if you can really make this electric blanket, it will be a great thing for the whole village!" Uncle Chen Yishan patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

"Yes, Xiaoming, your second uncle supports you! Just tell me what materials you need, and I'll help you get them!"

Second Uncle Chen Jianjun even directly offered to help with the production.

Chen Jianjun runs a small factory in town that specializes in producing small electrical appliances, which is perfect for helping Chen Ming produce electric blankets.

After much discussion, the elders decided to give their full support to Chen Ming's "invention".

They pooled together some money as Chen Ming's start-up capital.

......

As soon as Chen Ming got the money, he excitedly went to find his second uncle.

Chen Ming handed the design drawings of the electric blanket to his second uncle and explained his ideas in detail.

Chen Jianguo stared at the blueprints, his brows furrowed, occasionally making a "tsk tsk" sound.

Although I heard Chen Ming explain it once that day, I am even more impressed by Chen Ming's intelligence after seeing the design drawings now.

"Xiao Ming, that's quite a bold idea of ​​yours."

Chen Jianguo put down the blueprints and pondered for a moment, "But this thing is not easy to produce."

"Second Uncle, the key to this electric blanket is the heating element. It must be safe and reliable, and it must be able to heat evenly."

Chen Ming pointed to the design he had drawn and explained it to his second uncle in a serious manner.

Chen Jianjun listened attentively, occasionally raising questions.

As an experienced appliance manufacturer, he also places great importance on the safety of electric blankets.

"Xiaoming, what material do you use for this heating element? How is its insulation performance?"

"I plan to use nickel-chromium alloy wire. This material is heat-resistant and has high resistivity, which can effectively convert electrical energy into heat energy," Chen Ming replied confidently.

"Nickel-chromium alloy wire? That's not cheap." Chen Jianjun frowned. "Isn't the cost too high?"

"Second Uncle, you get what you pay for. We can't sacrifice quality to save money. Safety is the most important thing!"

Chen Ming said firmly, "Moreover, I believe that as long as the quality is good, people will be willing to buy it even if the price is a bit higher."

"Second Uncle, I know it's not easy, but think about it, if this thing is made, how many people will benefit in winter!"

Chen Ming's eyes were bright, filled with anticipation for the future.

Chen Jianguo was also touched by Chen Ming's passionate demeanor.

He patted Chen Ming on the shoulder, "Alright, Xiao Ming, your second uncle believes in you! I'm going all in, I'll gamble with you! We'll use nickel-chromium alloy wire!"
