BHBF Chapter 28.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 28.1: The Prodigal Son (54)

“You child, why are you thinking about yourself again?” Shao Yu said.

 

No matter how Shao Dabao thinks about it, he doesn’t think it’s a win-win situation. Rather, it’s like Shao Yu wins twice, once when the things are sold, and again when the things are returned. Not only does he have to run away in vain, but if the business doesn’t work, he will give Shao Yu ten coins.

 

“You refund me the original price of the goods, and the goods are burdened on me. If you burden me with the goods for a day longer, I will be grateful for the day.”

 

“Doing business involves taking risks. I am willing to let you return the goods. I am already doing a good deed. You can’t let me suffer in vain. But now, if you return it to me at a discount, you will keep most of the money. And I can also make a small amount of money to recover the loss, so how can it not be a win-win situation?”

 

Shao Yu spoke so eloquently that he actually got Shao Dabao involved, making him feel that his previous thoughts seemed particularly wrong.

 

“Do you know why you feel that you are at a loss? It’s not because I caused you to lose. Think about what went wrong?” Shao Yu once again turned against the customer.

 

Shao Dabao: “I already gave you ten cents, what did I do wrong?”

 

Shao Yu said: “This kind of business is a big deal for you. You didn’t have to pay these ten cents.”

 

“Is it really possible?” Shao Dabao asked stupidly.

 

“You can pass on this loss.” Shao Yu reminded.

 

Shao Dabao was stunned for a moment, then quickly clapped his hands and said, “It’s a big business, I should receive a deposit!”

 

Shao Yu nodded and continued: “Having said that, your credibility has not been fully established yet, so you may encounter some trouble in collecting the deposit.”

 

Shao Yu brought the topic back to the credibility again, and then praised his act of refunding the money to the third aunt today, saying: “Although you did this by coincidence, you did the right thing. The shadow of the famous tree and the reputation of the businessman are built in this way.”

 

It has been a long time since Shao Dabao heard a compliment from Shao Yu. After hearing this, the corners of his mouth immediately raised uncontrollably, and he even asked: “Dad, do you really think what I did is right? Really? Are you sure you didn’t lie to me?”

 

Shao Yu saw that Shao Dabao’s words were a little incoherent at this time, and he found some cuteness in this unlucky child, but the thought was fleeting.

 

“I’ll give you a note.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Dabao cheered. He had never thought before that one day he would be able to feel so happy because of such a simple thing.

 

After Shao Dabao received the reward, he said coyly: “Dad, do you want to tell my sister?”

 

“Say what?”

 

“Ask her to continue giving me pancakes.” Shao Dabao ate cold leftover rice for lunch today. Although the pancakes prepared by Shao Xiaocao were also cold, they had a little more flavor than the leftover rice.

 

Shao Yu heard this and said, “This is a matter between you two.”

 

Shao Yu has no intention of getting involved in the affairs between the siblings, as long as it doesn’t get particularly serious.

 

After hearing this, Shao Dabao immediately said: “This is not a matter between us. Men work hard to support their families outside, and women naturally have to do these things well at home.”

 

After hearing this, Shao Yu’s face darkened and he asked, “Do you think your sister was born to do these things? Does she deserve to be around the boiler at home?”

 

Shao Dabao naturally felt that it was right in his heart, but looking at Shao Yu’s face, he immediately understood that Shao Yu didn’t think so, and hurriedly changed his tone, saying: “Actually…it shouldn’t… .just I want my sister to help me, I I don’t have a wife…”

 

Shao Dabao’s voice became lower and lower, and he carefully looked at Shao Yu’s expression, for fear of annoying him again.

 

“Your sister is willing to prepare lunch for you, that’s her pleasure, if she doesn’t want to, it’s what you deserve. You must remember, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, no one is born to do anything.” Shao Yu thought for a while, and added: “It’s like how I am your father, but I have no obligation to prepare a a betrothal gift for you.”

 

Shao Dabao:…

 

Seeing that Shao Yu’s path would not work out, Shao Dabao became more and more aware of Shao Xiaocao’s status in this family. Although he still felt sour, he did not dare to say another word like “girl”.

 

“You follow me now to find the traveling boots.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Dabao immediately said: “It’s still early. What are you looking for at night? We’ll look for it tomorrow morning.”

 

Shao Yu only said: “Do what you can do now. If I go out early tomorrow morning, can you find the boots by yourself?”

 

It was about this big business, Shao Dabao didn’t dare to linger any more, he immediately got up from his chair and followed Shao Yu to the warehouse.

 

Shao Yu’s shop is actually not big, but the warehouse is three times the size of the store.

 

Although the things in the warehouse are numerous and miscellaneous, they are all neatly arranged by categories, so it is clear at a glance what you want to find.

 

“There are so many things… Dad is really rich…” Shao Dabao said with emotion, thinking in his heart that if he could inherit this shop, he would not have to worry about it in the future.

 

Shao Yu quickly took his son to the place where the boots were placed and said, “Look for them.”

 

Shao Dabao was stunned. There were no sizes on the boots, and he had no tools at hand.

 

Shao Yu didn’t say anything, just watched what he was going to do.

 

Shao Dabao searched around the warehouse and finally found a ruler. After measuring, he did find a pair of ten-inch long traveling boots.

 

“You took a look around the warehouse, did you see anything?” Shao Yu suddenly asked when he was about to leave the warehouse.

 

When Shao Dabao heard this, he immediately looked back and said, “Everything is placed neatly and is easy to find.”

 

“It’s obvious.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Dabao immediately understood that he answered very well, but did not satisfy his father, he looked left and right, but he didn’t see anything special.

 

Because Shao Dabao’s performance in the past two days was okay, Shao Yu wanted to teach him and explained: “There is no food.”

 

After hearing this, Shao Dabao immediately looked around in the warehouse. The truth was exactly as Shao Yu said, not even a grain of rice was seen here.

 

“Why?” Shao Dabao couldn’t help but ask.

 

Shao Yu explained: “Food is easily damaged, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big deal.”

 

“Then dad, why don’t you just stop doing the food business?” Shao Dabao asked.

 

“Food is the most important thing for the people. Since it is a grocery store and nearby neighbors buy things here, it is better to have a full range of goods, but there are fewer types and almost no inventory.”
