[Tycoon + Multiple Female Leads + No Saintly Protagonist + Scheming + Pure Thrills]
Lin Ze had barely graduated from college when his heartless landlord withheld his 1,500-yuan security deposit from the start.
Landlord: "The floor is scratched, the wall paint is peeling, the drain is clogged, and you didn't even use the range hood? That would only make it deteriorate faster. I'm keeping your deposit, and you owe me another two hundred yuan."
In his twenty-four years of life, he'd never heard of such utterly absurd charges. Just as he was at the end of his tether, he became the local gang boss, Dao Qiangpao.
In an instant, Dao Qiangpao's memories flooded into his mind: he had entered the underworld at the age of five, commanded over a thousand underlings from sports and martial arts schools, and owned businesses across hotels, nightclubs, banks, real estate, law firms, transportation, restaurants, supermarkets, and wet markets...
Lin Ze immediately had his underlings set up a Ponzi scheme, driving the heartless landlord and his entire village of ruthless demolition profiteers into bankruptcy and prison.
But Lin Ze soon realized that the trouble had only just begun.
Every miserable situation a migrant worker in Jiangcheng might face came knocking one after another: landlords withholding deposits, schools levying arbitrary fees, doctors overprescribing medication, employers forcing new hires to take out loans to pay for training, and more.
He watched ordinary workers get swindled by one person after another.
Having been a migrant worker himself in his previous life, Lin Ze couldn't stand by and watch. To clean up Jiangcheng, he had no choice but to step in and speak from experience:
"You can come to this city to make a living. Earning money with your skills and hard work is only right."
"But if anyone dares to prey on outsiders and squeeze the hard-earned money out of migrant workers, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
