Siheyuan: The Apprentice Took the Exam and Became an Eighth-Grade Chef

When Li Aihua transmigrates into a courtyard compound, his original self has just had a matchmaking arrangement ruined and been beaten all over by Silly Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai, the Deaf Old Lady, and the other residents have eaten all the fine grain he saved. Now they plan to hold a whole-compound meeting and accuse him of disrespecting his elders.

The strongest counterattack System activates at that very moment.

As long as someone picks a fight with him first, and he manages to make them lose out in reputation, money, status, or mental well-being, he can earn rewards.

From the start, Li Aihua strikes back at the trio angling to mooch off him in their old age. He then takes a chef's qualification exam, jumping straight from apprentice on a salary of 18.5 yuan to an eighth-grade chef, and eventually becoming head of the first cafeteria.

He marries Huang Weihong and builds up businesses in farming and industry, later expanding from catering into real estate, publicly listed companies, and investment.

By the finale, his daughter has won two Best Actress awards, while the former cafeteria apprentice has risen to the top of the mainland rich list.
