Gangster heir? Please call me a legitimate entrepreneur.

Shen Qinghan clutched the official document, her high heels twisting slightly on the carpet.

Looking at Su Ye's ambiguous smile, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Is it possible to send a group of high-ranking gangsters with CPA exam papers to a legal education class given by the principal of a provincial police academy?

The scene was too surreal; she couldn't even imagine it.

Is this man really not afraid that the old principal will have a heart attack from anger?

"Okay... okay, Mr. Su. I'll go and inform him right away."

Shen Qinghan stammered and retreated.

She closed the door, took out her phone, and quickly sent a text message to Li Jianguo.

[Director. Principal Chen is giving a legal education session tomorrow. Su Ye made the executives bring CPA exam papers. He's gone mad.]

……

The following afternoon, at the auditorium of the Longhai Municipal Party Committee.

The early winter sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the auditorium was well-heated.

Representatives from major companies in the city were seated in the front row.

Dressed in a suit and tie, with a large belly.

The last three rows of the auditorium.

More than fifty burly men sat in a row.

They were all dressed in matching black suits and red ties.

They were all burly men, their muscles stretching their suits so tightly they looked like they might burst at any moment.

The moment this group of people sat down, the temperature around them dropped by three degrees.

The entrepreneurs in front shrank back in fear, terrified that these men might suddenly pull out weapons.

Lei Hu sat in the very center.

His bald head was shiny.

He held a well-worn copy of "Fundamentals of Accounting" in his hands, his brows furrowed in worry.

His stubby fingers poked around on the pages of the book while he muttered to himself.

"What kind of bullshit 'double-entry bookkeeping' is this... When I lend money to someone, isn't it a debt they owe me? Why is it recorded as a credit?"

Lei Hu scratched his bald head in frustration and turned to ask Fatty Liu next to him.

"Fatty, do you even understand? What exactly is this 'long-term deferred expenses'?"

Fatty Liu slumped in his chair, his fat body trembling.

He held a mock exam paper covered in red crosses in his hand, his eyes red-rimmed.

"Tiger, stop asking me. I can't even remember all the multiplication tables. These auditing questions are harder to answer than chop someone up!"

He sniffled, his voice trembling with tears.

"I dreamt last night that I was in an exam hall, being chased and stabbed by these numbers with knives. I almost had a heart attack."

The crow nearby was irritably tugging at its tie.

"This is inhuman! I'd rather fight those remnants of the Triads for another three hundred rounds than read this damn book!"

He slapped his thigh and yelled, "I'm not taking the exam! Whatever! I'll just end up sweeping the streets!"

"Shut up."

A cold voice came from the front row.

Su Ye was wearing a dark gray cashmere coat.

Holding the thermos, he slowly turned his head.

The gold-rimmed glasses reflected a cold light.

"Anyone who doesn't want to take the exam can get out now. You won't get a single penny of tomorrow's profit share. Turn left outside and go to the logistics department to get a broom."

Su Ye pushed up his glasses and glanced at the group of wailing men.

"Sihai Group is going public. What's the point of keeping executives who can't even understand financial statements? To act as mascots?"

The crow shuddered in fright and quickly retied its tie.

"Brother Su, I just wanted to complain a little. I'm going to take the exam, I'll give it my all!"

He swallowed hard. Tens of millions in dividends! He couldn't earn that much even sweeping the streets his whole life.

The entire venue fell silent once again.

All that could be heard was the rustling of pages turning and suppressed, heavy breathing.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Principal Chen Jianjing walked onto the podium.

The old man had gray hair and wore a faded old police uniform.

His back was ramrod straight, and his eyes were sharp.

He was a policeman for thirty years and arrested more serious criminals than there were people in this auditorium.

Principal Chen cleared his throat and began explaining the law into the microphone.

"Today, we'll talk about compliant business operations. No matter how big your company is, you absolutely cannot cross the legal red line."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the audience.

When the scan reached the last three rows, the old man froze.

Those burly men in black suits.

Everyone sat upright and solemnly.

He stood up straighter than even the greenhorn recruits at the police academy.

Holding a pen in his hand, head down, he scribbled something down in a thick notebook.

Some even bit their pens, their brows furrowed, looking like they were deeply troubled by their thirst for knowledge.

Principal Chen rubbed his presbyopia.

He recognized the bald man sitting in the very middle.

Lei Hu.

Longhai City used to be known for its notorious gangsters, known for their ruthlessness and explosive temper.

This guy is now wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and is highlighting important points in a book with a red pen?

Has the world gone mad?

Principal Chen swallowed hard and stopped lecturing.

He pointed to the back row and asked tentatively.

"Hey, you bald guy in the back row, what...what are you writing down?"

All eyes in the room immediately turned to Lei Hu.

The business leaders in the front row were so frightened they didn't dare to breathe.

Lei Hu was startled when he was called out.

He stood up abruptly, the movement so sudden that his knee slammed against the table with a dull thud.

The pain made him gasp.

"Reporting to the teacher!"

Lei Hu roared in his hoarse voice, his face turning bright red.

He held up the thick book in his hand and showed it to the whole audience.

"I'm memorizing the 'Amortization Methods for Intangible Assets'! Su Ge said this is a key point for the CPA exam! A must-know question!"

The entire room fell silent.

A deathly silence.

Principal Chen's mouth remained open for a long time.

He lived most of his life.

He has given legal education classes to countless prisoners.

This is the first time ever.

During a legal education class for a group of gangsters, I overheard people discussing the amortization of intangible assets.

"You... your Sihai Group, are you taking the CPA exam?"

Principal Chen's voice was trembling as he pointed at the book in Lei Hu's hand, his fingers shaking.

"yes!"

Fatty Liu, standing to the side, wiped away his tears with a wronged expression and couldn't help but interject.

"Teacher, you don't know! Our CEO Su is too ruthless! If you don't pass two exams, he'll confiscate your shares and make you clean toilets!"

He held up the mock exam paper covered in crosses, and started to cry.

"I got most of the auditing questions wrong, and I'm so worried. Teacher, could you explain them to me?"

The entrepreneurs in the front row were completely dumbfounded.

These are thugs who usually collect protection money and steal construction projects.

Now you're being forced to take the most difficult CPA exam in the country? And you're crying about it?

The corporate culture of Sihai Group is even more terrifying than pyramid schemes!

Principal Chen took a deep breath.

He felt his heart beating a little fast.

His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Su Ye, who was holding a thermos in the front row.

Su Ye stood up.

The hem of the coat swept through the air.

He walked slowly down the aisle and bowed slightly to Principal Chen on the podium.

"Uncle Chen."

Su Ye's voice was gentle, revealing the respect of a junior.

"My father passed away early and went astray. Now that I've taken over Sihai, I have to guide these brothers onto the right path."

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

Behind the lenses lies a resolute gaze that is hard to look directly at.

"Times have changed. The days of conquering the world with swords, spears, and clubs are over."

Su Ye pointed to the group of men in the back row.

"I want them to understand the law and financial statements. I want Sihai Holdings Group to ring the bell on Nasdaq in a clean, upright and honorable manner."

"This is my compliant operation."

Principal Chen looked at the young man in a suit and tie in front of him.

My eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

He recalled his old friend from many years ago, who had ignored his advice and gone into the underworld.

Then look at this junior who forced thousands of hooligans into the examination hall.

The old man's lips trembled.

"Good...good lad. If your father were alive, seeing you like this today..."

Principal Chen wiped his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

He strode down from the podium and grabbed Su Ye's hand.

Shake it vigorously.

"You've finally found the right path! You've finally found the right path!"

This dramatic scene stunned everyone.

Shen Qinghan sat in the back row.

She watched the two people shaking hands tightly, and the notebook in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

She was completely stunned.

Su Ye delivered this series of punches.

Even the most impartial police academy principal was moved to tears by his "prodigal son's return" demeanor.

Just then.

Lei Hu weakly raised his hand from behind.

"Um... Principal Chen."

The bald, burly man scratched the back of his head, a憨笑 (a kind of simple, honest smile) on his face.

"Since we're all on the same side, could you explain that 'long-term equity investment' question to us? Chen Suan spoke too fast, I didn't understand it."
