Siheyuan: I’m Liu Guangtian, and I’m Always Moving Up!

[This book is also known as From the Start: I Stole Jia Zhangshi's Retirement Money.] After transmigrating into a courtyard compound, Liu Guangtian finds himself the second son of the compound's Second Master, Liu Haizhong. With such a heartless father, Liu Guangtian has always wanted to escape this family he was born into. Fortunately, he awakens an intelligence System. As his status and position change, the value of the information it provides changes as well. [Jia Zhangshi's retirement money is hidden beneath the third brick in front of the courtyard gate.] [Liu Haizhong had a bad day at the factory today and is coming home to take it out on his two sons.] [Silly Zhu has been fooled by Qin Huairu again and is planning to give her his lunchbox.] [The mother of the chief of the steel mill's personnel department suffers from severe rheumatism in her legs. Her pain becomes unbearable whenever it rains. He's secretly searching for an effective medicinal plaster or folk remedy.] With the help of the intelligence System, Liu Guangtian keeps climbing the ranks. Years later, as Liu Haizhong watches his second son rise through the ranks, tears of regret stream down his face. (The blurb doesn't do it justice. Read the story.)
