You Have to Study Hard to Become a Big Shot

My little sister is 14. Younger brothers, don't read this.

His father, a big shot in the underworld, stares at Zhou Chang Gong's report card, every grade a perfect score!

"I never went to school for a single day, and I still built this trillion-yuan empire!"

"All you can do is study? The world is going to chew you up and spit you out!"

Zhou Chang Gong shakes his head at his father.

"Zhou Ri Tian! If you can't even handle a few books, then you're the one who's going to get chewed up!"

"Open your eyes and watch closely! I'll use what I've learned from books to buy your trillion-yuan empire!"

Three years later, Zhou Chang Gong, left with nothing, returns home with a whole team of big shots and acquires all of his father's businesses!

His father smugly brags to the other big shots:

"I told you not to follow my example! If you don't study hard these days, you're finished!"

P.S. This is an alternate-history urban story set in a Warring States world. The blurb doesn't do it justice. The protagonist is awesome, and his buddies are even more formidable!
