Chen Jianguo is over sixty, and his whole life has been one grievance after another.
He worked himself to the bone raising four children, only to see life wear each of them down. His eldest son struggles to keep an auto repair shop running, but the landlord jacks up the rent and forces him to move. His youngest daughter is discussing marriage, but her fiancé’s family demands a staggering 300,000 yuan in dowry and looks down on her at every turn. His eldest daughter swallows her pride and sells goods on her social media to help support the family. His second son has lofty ambitions, but a lack of capital leaves him unable to make any headway.
On the eve of his sixtieth birthday, an old pocket watch he bought for fifty yuan unexpectedly unlocks the Family Development System, and he inherits tens of millions out of nowhere.
A timed mission arrives from the System: save his eldest son’s entire business within three days, or lose a million yuan!
Chen Jianguo keeps his fortune hidden and never shows off. He quietly steps in to solve every problem. His youngest daughter’s in-laws who bully her, the landlord who breaks his promise, and the outsiders who look down on his children all witness the rise of the Chen family with their own eyes.
Once a humble old man who bowed his head to get by, he now stands tall through his own efforts and gives all his children and grandchildren the confidence to do the same.
