Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 5) Chapter 99.3: The Son Is The Villian (End)
Shao Yu never asked for anything in return. When those who received help wanted to repay the kindness and wanted to donate, he did not accept their donations. Instead, he invited them to volunteer at the foundation for a period of time.
With Shao Yu’s attitude, the foundation never lacks volunteers. The more people there are, the more things can be done. The foundation’s footprint covers the whole country, and there are girls’ schools founded by the foundation everywhere. Countless girls are able to leave their original families and create their own world because of the existence of girls’ schools.
As Shao Yu grew older, he stopped doing everything himself and handed the foundation over to Shao Tian to manage. Since Shao Tian didn’t have Shao Yu’s ability to make money, she started accepting donations from the outside world.
But Shao Tian still adhered to Shao Yu’s philosophy, keeping every account clear and handling every matter thoroughly. When Shao Tian grew old, she passed on her philosophy to the third generation of the Shao family.
Besides work, children, and charity, Shao Yu did something rather unusual: he invested in a scientific research institute and occasionally went there to provide guidance.
Shao Yu donated almost all of the profits from his film and television projects to the foundation, while the huge sums of money needed for scientific research came partly from funds he raised externally and partly from the money he invested.
Shao Yu is skilled in business and generous in giving advice to those around him. As a result, when he needs to invest, those around him almost never ask any questions before putting money in.
For example, when Zhang Ming and his wife heard that it was a scientific research activity that would benefit mankind, they immediately invested half of their wealth into it.
At first, the people at the research institute only saw Shao Yu as a walking ATM and were somewhat impatient with his guidance. However, as they got to know Shao Yu better, their opinion of him completely changed.
They thought celebrities knew nothing, but they didn’t expect that Shao Yu actually knew nothing. Several times at crucial moments, if it weren’t for Shao Yu pulling them back, they might have gone in the wrong direction.
Even with Shao Yu consistently guiding the overall direction, it still took thirty years, several rounds of personnel changes, countless sums of money invested, and even the deaths of several investors, before the research institute finally accomplished the proposition initially put forward by Shao Yu.
Artificial uterus.
When the research institute announced its findings, everyone was stunned, and some even thought it was a joke.
When they saw that Shao Yu was listed first on the long list of thank-you notes from the research institute, they felt that this was quite surreal.
After all, one is a big shot in the entertainment industry, and the other is a research institute; they seem to be completely unrelated circles.
Scrolling down this long list, you’ll find Gu Jiaying and her husband, as well as many other virtuous and talented artists in the entertainment industry.
The entire internet was abuzz with this news, and many people even contacted the celebrities on the list to verify it, but all of them gave affirmative answers.
Even the biggest scandals in the entertainment industry pale in comparison to this bombshell news.
Over the past thirty years, Shao Yu has made countless films about egalitarianism, and he has been elected as a representative to the National People’s Congress several times, submitting numerous related proposals during the congresses.
Thirty years is a long time; a lot can change in that time. Nowadays, most people, no matter what they think in their hearts, at least do not dare to say anything about favoring sons over daughters. The idea that “it is good to have both sons and daughters” has long been the mainstream opinion.
However, implicit discrimination still exists in the workplace; it’s just that people dare not bring it up openly.
Shao Yu understands that the core of this discrimination and suppression is still driven by interests.
It’s hard to say whether having children is an advantage or a disadvantage for women, but Shao Yu believes that as long as women continue to bear the responsibility of pregnancy, the uterus may still be a shackle.
Therefore, he had made up his mind from the beginning to use this method to test his thoughts.
Shao Yu didn’t know whether what he was doing was good or bad, but he thought that he would definitely push this matter in a good direction in his lifetime.
After achieving success in the research, Shao Yu handed over the technology to the state free of charge, and the state, in turn, allocated funds to the research institute to allow them to continue to improve and perfect the technology.
With the awakening of women’s consciousness, women’s willingness to have children has been declining year by year, and slow population growth is a problem that plagues countries all over the world. Shao Yu’s solution has given countries a new idea.
Even though Shao Yu’s intention was to help women break free from constraints, he still received a lot of criticism for this.
Both children are now married with children, but the moment they saw the insults, they both went home to be with their elderly father, afraid that their father would be upset.
“It’s alright, progress always comes with criticism,” Shao Yu said.
Those who were cursing were all people who had lost their own interests because of Shao Yu’s actions. There were men and women among them, and some of their curses were very unpleasant. The two children couldn’t even bear to watch, but Shao Yu remained unfazed.Ten years later, the technology was fully mature and the cost was reduced to a level that ordinary people could afford. As a result, the birth rate increased, but the marriage rate decreased.
The wedding-related industries have been severely impacted. Those working in these industries never imagined that one day, the biggest blow to their work would come not from their peers, but from a scientific technology.
The wedding industry suffered a severe blow, but the children’s market ultimately made up for it, maintaining a very delicate balance overall.
Shao Yi acted in several films and television dramas when he was young, but he did not enter the entertainment industry after growing up. Instead, he went to a scientific research institute.
With Zheng Minglang’s imprisonment, Zheng Zhiyuan’s life was far from as smooth as in the story. After growing up, he did not interfere between Shao Yi and the young female lead, and Shao Yu did not object to Shao Yi’s choice. He and the young female lead naturally got together.
The Shao family is not short of money, because finding meaning in life is especially important to Shao Yi and Shao Tian.
Under Shao Yu’s reasonably permissive parenting style, both children have grown up well. Shao Tian followed in her father’s footsteps, managing the foundation and also running Shao Yu’s film and television company.
Shao Yi also achieved great success in scientific research. He devoted his life to aerospace research, and when he was old, he watched his own spacecraft bring good news from outer space before he peacefully closed his eyes.
Ying Siyi never returned to her homeland. She did not do well abroad and got married several times. However, having experienced such a huge upheaval, she found it difficult to adapt to the mundane life of an ordinary person and did not have any more children.
Ying Siyi also tried to enter the entertainment industry abroad, but she was not very successful and made little progress. In fact, her extravagant spending led to a miserable life in her later years.
Ying Siyi had thought about contacting her children, but after so many years, she didn’t have many connections, and her attempts to contact them all failed. In the end, she died abroad.
“Honey, the Zhao family is so pitiful, please don’t worry about these things.”
When Shao Yu opened his eyes, he saw a wall that hadn’t been plastered with any lime, and he could hear the sounds of arguing intermittently.
A woman was outside pleading, “Husband, I beg you, please don’t do this. We have to make a living too.”
“No, we can just bear it, but the Zhao family is about to lose a life. How can you be so heartless?” the man said. His tone was alright when speaking to his wife, but Shao Yu found his words, which sounded like moral blackmail, very strange.
The argument outside continued, and the woman cried and begged, but only received a mild rejection in return.
After receiving the plot, Shao Yu coughed loudly.
The commotion inside quickly attracted the attention of two people outside, and a moment later, the two rushed in together.
“Father, Father, you’re actually awake!” the man exclaimed excitedly.
This man is Shao Dachun, the eldest son of Shao Yu’s current body. The boy has a dark complexion and looks very honest. At this moment, his eyes are filled with tears as he looks at Shao Yu. The joy in his eyes about his biological father waking up is not fake.
Liu Guizhi, who was standing to the side, also came in, but she didn’t look so happy. After all, her husband’s current state was entirely due to his father-in-law’s teachings. Liu Guizhi already had a good man to support and didn’t want to support a second one.
Shao Dachun, however, was completely unaware of his wife’s true thoughts. Instead, he urged, “Guizhi, hurry, go and get Dad something to eat. He’s just recovered and needs to eat something good.”
Liu Guizhi stood there without moving.
Shao Dachun’s face darkened, and he urged, “Am I going to wake you up?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guizhi wiped away her tears forcefully and said, “What good things do we have left at home? Haven’t you already given them all away?”
But Shao Dachun glared at his wife and said, “Don’t think I don’t know you hid two eggs in the cupboard.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guizhi immediately became anxious and said, “We have so many chickens, what’s wrong with me keeping two eggs? Niu Niu’s health is so poor, if you don’t care, how can I not care about her?”
Shao Dachun, however, seemed unaware of his daughter’s situation and kept urging Liu Guizhi to act quickly.
But Liu Guizhi stood there motionless for a long time, as if she had nails growing under her feet.
Finally, Shao Yu spoke up, saying, “Alright.”
“Dad, don’t be angry. If she won’t do it for you, I’ll do it for you.” Shao Dachun said, heading into the kitchen.
Liu Guizhi immediately stopped him.
Shao Yu said, “I don’t eat eggs.”
Shao Dachun then asked, “Father, what would you like to eat?”
Shao Yu looked at what Shao Dachun was holding and said, “Take the white rice and cook me some porridge.”
Shao Dachun hesitated for a moment. In his hand was the last bag of rice in his family’s hand, which he had originally planned to give to Xiao Zhao’s family.
“What? The Zhao family can eat it, but this old man can’t?” Shao Yu had just woken up, and his voice was hoarse.
Shao Dachun shook his head and said, “You can eat it, you can eat it.”
Despite saying that, Shao Dachun had a vague feeling that something seemed different about his father after he woke up.
Shao Yu urged him to cook porridge, but he handed the food to his wife instead and urged her to do it.
Just as Liu Guizhi was about to kick, Shao Yu said, “Don’t I have a son? I just want to eat a bowl of porridge that my son cooked for me.”
Upon hearing this, Shao Dachun immediately took the bag of rice from Liu Guizhi and said, “I’ll go, I’ll go right now.”
Shao Yu lay down again without a care in the world, and this time it was Liu Guizhi’s turn to find it strange.
She always felt that her father-in-law seemed to have become somewhat different after he suddenly woke up.
Shao Yu didn’t let her rest either, and asked, “Where’s the child?”
Liu Guizhi’s first reaction: “Which child?”
“Niu Niu,” Shao Yu said.
Liu Guizhi was even more surprised to hear this, after all, because her father-in-law had never liked her much since she had given birth to a daughter. In the past, the child her father-in-law always talked about was the son of her second brother.
Now that Shao Yu has actually brought up Niu Niu, Liu Guizhi feels as if the sun has risen in the west.
Soon, Liu Guizhi called Niu Niu to Shao Yu’s side. Niu Niu was still young and had little contact with her grandfather. She only knew that her grandfather was always sleeping and that she should not disturb him. Therefore, when they met this time, she hid behind Liu Guizhi and only showed her little head.
Shao Yu glanced at the child, his face immediately darkening. He said, “Why is she so thin?”
