siheyuan: I transmigrated into love in courtyard

The announcement shook the entire steel mill.

For years, Shazhu was untouchable in the kitchen. No one had ever challenged his position. Even if he was lazy and unreliable, his job was secure—until today.

But now?

I had taken his place.

The Uncles' Reactions

At the announcement, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and the other courtyard elders were in disbelief.

Yi Zhonghai, the so-called "wise elder" of the courtyard, frowned deeply. His plan for making Shazhu his retirement support was now in jeopardy.

Liu Haizhong, always trying to rise in status, was shocked. He had always seen Shazhu as a permanent fixture in the factory.

"This is unbelievable… how did Lin Feng suddenly rise so high?"

Xu Damao, on the other hand?

He was thrilled.

Shazhu had always looked down on him, mocking him for being infertile and laughing at his misfortunes. But now?

"Hahahaha! This is too good!" Xu Damao laughed, clapping his hands. "Shazhu, you idiot, you finally got what you deserved!"

His laughter only fueled the tension in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu's Fear

But among all of them, the person most affected was Qin Huairu.

She was terrified.

For years, Shazhu had been her biggest source of free food and money.

Whenever her family struggled, whenever Jia Zhang demanded food, whenever her children cried from hunger—she could always rely on Shazhu.

But now?

Shazhu had lost his position.

His salary would be lower, his influence would shrink.

If Shazhu couldn't regain his position, then she and her family would be in serious trouble.

She bit her lip, her mind racing.

"I need to make sure Shazhu doesn't break away from me… and I need to keep an eye on Lin Feng."

For the first time, she saw me as a potential danger.

Returning to My Room – Planning My Future

After work, I went straight back to my room.

I sat on my bed, my mind filled with thoughts.

Becoming the head cook was a good step forward… but it wasn't enough.

I had a golden finger—the Sign-In System.

I wasn't here to live an ordinary life.

I wanted power.

I wanted wealth.

And most of all…

I wanted women.

I leaned back, thinking about the beauties around me.

The Women I Want

1. Qin Huairu – A rare beauty. A perfect 10 in face and body. Shazhu had wasted years simping for her without touching her. I wouldn't make that mistake.

2. Liu Lan – A married woman with an affair. Tempting, seductive, and experienced. She was a different kind of challenge.

3. Ran Qiyue – A factory worker with elegance. She had a strong personality but a hidden softness.

4. Lou Xiao'e – Xu Damao's wife. A woman raised in wealth but stuck in a loveless marriage.

5. Yu Haitang – Young and full of energy. She was a little rebellious, but that made her all the more interesting.

6. Qin Jingru – Qin Huairu's younger sister. She had less experience but was still an attractive woman.

7. Yu Li – A modest beauty with a graceful aura.

I wanted them all.

But to have them, I needed power and money.

Step One: Eliminating Shazhu's Influence

My first obstacle was Shazhu.

Even though he had been demoted, he still had supporters.

• Yi Zhonghai still wanted to use him for retirement.

• Ma Hua was still blindly loyal to him.

• Qin Huairu still had him wrapped around her finger.

As long as Shazhu existed, he would be an obstacle.

I needed to completely get rid of him.

But how?

I smirked. There were many ways.

If he failed his promotion test in three months…

If he got into a serious scandal…

If he lost the factory's trust completely…

I could push him out forever.

And once he was gone…

Qin Huairu would be mine.
