Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 1 Impulse
Parallel time and space.

1975, Xijiang.

Before lunch time, the kitchen of the Bureau of Heavy Industry was already bustling with activity.

Du Shaojie, who is 1.8 meters tall, held a kitchen knife high up with his eyes wide open. If two strong guys hadn't held him down, something might have happened.

Dai Tong, the short and fat canteen manager, had already run to the small door of the back kitchen. But he was willing to leave in such an embarrassing manner. If this got out, his reputation as a "coward" would be confirmed.

"What's wrong with you? Still want to kill people? I think you don't want this job anymore."

Dai Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and became excited again when he saw Du Shaojie being held back by someone.

Du Shaojie didn't look strong, but he was very strong. Inspired by this, he suddenly broke free from the restraints on his body and rushed towards Dai Tong with big strides.

There were two or three round potatoes scattered on the ground. No one had noticed the mess before, not even Du Shaojie. He only had eyes for Dai Tong.

But as it happened, one of his feet stepped on a potato, and he immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Clang."

The kitchen knife flew out of his hand and flew far away.

Du Shaojie banged his head against the ground, struggled for a few times, and then became motionless.

Dai Tong didn't react until this moment. He even felt that his heart was about to jump out. Seeing Du Shaojie fall, he couldn't help cursing loudly in joy. The curse was so ugly.

"Shut up! If someone dies, you'll be shot. Go get Dr. Wang from the infirmary."

The cafeteria's chef Liao Yongxin shouted loudly, then ran over to check on Du Shaojie.

Some people went to the infirmary to call for a doctor, some went to the general affairs department to report the situation, and the whole cafeteria was in chaos.

After an unknown amount of time, Du Shaojie woke up slowly. He opened his eyes with great effort and saw a figure in a white coat riding on him, with a pair of hands pressing on his chest.

"call"

There were sighs of relief all around.

Wang Liwen was sweating profusely, but she couldn't help but smile. She stopped what she was doing, got off Du Shaojie and stood aside.

Du Shaojie was dizzy because of the two lumps silhouetted against the white coat. In addition, he was in an unfamiliar environment with strangers around him, so he felt like his brain was not working.

If I remember correctly, I was preparing dinner at home and the braised prawns were not out of the pot yet. How did I end up here in a daze?
Suddenly, chaotic memories stirred his brain like a whirlwind, and the needle-like pain made him groan.

"Am I wearing this?"

Du Shaojie didn't have time to sort out his original body's memories. He sat up suddenly in excitement.

A group of people in rough work clothes were surrounding him, and there was also a very attractive female doctor. The female doctor was no more than 30 years old, and there was a word printed on the left chest of her white coat, which read "Xijiang Heavy Industry Bureau Medical Office".

He is currently working in the kitchen of the canteen of the Heavy Industry Bureau, and Du Shaojie is an apprentice in the canteen.

"Don't get excited, calm down, stay calm. Take a deep breath with me, breathe in and relax."

Wang Liwen is a young doctor. It was she who decisively performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Du Shaojie and brought him back from the brink of death.

When she arrived, the young man's pulse could no longer be felt. Now she must not allow his condition to recur due to emotional problems.

Du Shaojie opened his mouth slightly, trying to calm himself down.

Of course, he had no experience with time travel, but at least he had read about it in novels before, right?
His current body is that of a young apprentice, only eighteen years old. He was repeatedly harassed by the cafeteria manager Dai Tong at work, which led to the conflict today. Regardless of who was right or wrong, what the hell is it to hold a kitchen knife and prepare to chop someone? "Young man, you are too impulsive!"

Before traveling through time, he was at least a semi-successful man, with a car, a house, a wife, and a daughter.

Although he was overwhelmed by the mortgage, he always faced life positively. He had many hobbies, and he liked to cook for his mother and daughter when he had free time, which was his greatest enjoyment after a busy day.

But if you travel through time just because of a disagreement, who can you reason with?

What should I do now? It is a taboo to get into a fight at work, and I am afraid that this hurdle will be difficult to pass.

"What are you all doing here? Aren't you going to have lunch?"

Just as Du Shaojie was secretly thinking about how to get through this, Jiang Xianfa, deputy chief of the General Affairs Section, came over.

Jiang Xianfa is in his forties, with thick black hair that is slightly curly. He is usually generous and can chat with anyone, but today he looks very serious.

The onlookers immediately dispersed and started to do their own things. In fact, even if Section Chief Jiang didn't come, they would still go to work. After all, delaying lunch time would be a serious accident and no one could afford the consequences.

"Du Shaojie, your son is quite a man. How come I didn't see that before? Tell me, why did he chase Dai Tong with a kitchen knife?"

What Jiang Xianfa despised most was people like Dai Tong, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and acted one way when meeting his superiors and another way when facing ordinary workers.

But what Du Shaojie did today was indeed too much, and we have to deal with it.

Du Shaojie cursed the original body in his heart. There should be art in struggle, right? Just holding the kitchen knife and doing it straight away is the behavior of a fool and a brainless joke.

He has to bear the consequences for the mistakes made by the original body.

"No, I didn't intend to kill anyone. Dai Tong just scolded my dad, and I was so angry that I just wanted to cut potatoes to vent my anger. Who knew it would cause such a big misunderstanding? Chief Jiang, I was wrong. I will stay calm in the future and never cause trouble for the leaders."

Du Shaojie stood up slowly and tried hard to force a smile.

With his rich life experience, he could never admit that he had the intention to kill. Some things are judged by deeds rather than intentions. Anyway, Dai Tong was fine, so he had to insist that this was a misunderstanding.

Everyone in the bureau knew that Dai Tong had been giving Du Shaojie a hard time because of his nephew's work quota issues.

Du Shaojie got the worker quota first and entered the canteen as an apprentice, while Dai Tong's nephew is still a temporary worker.

This is how the conflicts between the two people that have accumulated over time came about.

When Du Shaojie thought of this work target, his chest inexplicably ached. This was a knot in his heart, after all, this work target was obtained at the cost of his father's life.

"Chief Jiang, I think Du Shaojie is fine, so I'll go back first. Xiao Du, you'd better avoid emotional ups and downs in the future. You still have to go to the People's Hospital for a check-up to see if there is any problem with your heart."

Wang Liwen nodded at Jiang Xianfa, said something to Du Shaojie, and then turned around and returned to the infirmary.

The infirmary can usually only treat headaches, fevers, etc., prescribe some common medicines and give injections. If you have a serious illness, you still have to go to the hospital.

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wang!"

"Thank you, Doctor Wang!"

Jiang Xianfa and Du Shaojie each responded, and when Wang Liwen left the cafeteria, their eyes met again.

　The new book is launched, and I hope to get your support!

　　Thank you!
