[A cast of villains + no System + master schemer + father-and-son team + an era-defining tycoon]
In the winter of 1965, Xu Fugui, the old wolf who had been away from the courtyard for years, returned.
Seeing his son Xu Damao, stripped and hung from a tree by Silly Zhu, wailing for his parents, Xu Fugui slapped him across the face.
“A son of the Xu family can be a wolf that devours others or a dog that guards the gate, but never a pig waiting to be slaughtered!”
From that day on, everything changed in the courtyard.
Silly Zhu’s lunchbox was smashed. Yi Zhonghai’s image as a moral paragon was shattered. The deaf old lady’s cane was snapped. And Qin Huairu became the sharpest blade in the Xu family’s hands.
Xu Fugui taught his son:
“Damao, remember this. If you’re going to be a big shot’s dog, learn to keep a leash for yourself. To deal with a hypocrite, put on an even better act. To deal with a true villain, be even more ruthless!”
From the schemes and rivalries of Nanluoguxiang, to the tumult of a changing era, and then to becoming a titan of the business world.
Watch this ruthless father-and-son duo from the courtyard step over the bodies of their rivals and climb all the way to the top!
