The Knockout: I Teach Gao Qiqiang to Become a Business Tycoon

The protagonist, Chen Mo, is an ordinary man who has chosen to lie flat. By chance, he transmigrates into a world that combines several modern urban dramas, including The Knockout, Ode to Joy, and Nothing but Thirty. He becomes a neighbor of Gao Qiqiang on Old Factory Street in Jinghai City in the early 2000s. Just as he feels lost about the future, he awakens the [Ultimate Life Mentor System].

The System’s core function is “guidance and enlightenment.” If he can successfully steer characters from the story, whether heroes or villains, toward a brighter path and change their tragic fates, he can gain some of their abilities, resources, and connections, as well as “life points” awarded by the System.

From the start, he faces a pivotal moment: the Gao brothers, Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qisheng, are about to turn to the dark side after bullies target their fish stall. Chen Mo acts decisively. Drawing on his foreknowledge of the plot and modern business knowledge, he persuades Gao Qiqiang to abandon violence and run the stall legally instead. He then guides him step by step to open a chain, build a brand, and break into the food service industry, completely avoiding a future of collusion with criminal forces.

After successfully changing the Gao brothers’ fates, Chen Mo earns his first fortune and powerful business analysis skills. He leaves Jinghai for the Magic City, and with the System and his foreknowledge, he meets Andy, Fan Shengmei, and Qu Xiaoxiao from Ode to Joy, as well as Wang Manni and Gu Jia from Nothing but Thirty. He offers them guidance, helping Andy find her family and consolidate business resources, helping Fan Shengmei break free from her family of origin, and helping Gu Jia see her husband for who he really is and build a career of her own...

As Chen Mo guides one character after another, he gains not only their friendship and affection, but also continues to grow through the rewards granted by the System.
