My Whole Family Praised Me for Getting Good Grades

Zhou Chang Gong comes home with a perfect report card and asks his big-shot father, Zhou Ri Tian, to sign it!

His illiterate dad, who built a trillion-dollar empire with his bare hands, sneers:

"You can't do anything besides study! Society will chew you up and spit you out!"

Zhou Chang Gong shakes his head at his big-shot father:

"Zhou Ri Tian, I put up with you driving my mother away and letting your mistress take her place!"

"But I'm telling you, in this day and age, if you don't study hard, society really will chew you up and spit you out!"

"You don't have to kick me out. I've got legs of my own!"

Two years later, Zhao Xiao Han, who rose to success using the knowledge he gained from books, returns home with a group of big shots and buys up all of his father's businesses!

His father immediately changes his tune, bragging smugly to the other big shots:

"I told you all along: in today's society, if you don't study hard, you're headed for a dead end!"

An original urban alternate-universe story, with underworld vendettas, business wars, and the smoke of battle. No System, and the characters are incredibly clever...
