BHBF Chapter 55.4

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 55.4: The Bitter Heroine (66)

Shao Yu immediately took Yingniang to the side.

 

Qin Xun often saw women around Third Master Bai, so at this time, he just took a closer look at Shao Yingniang and didn’t take it to heart.

 

When Shao Yu brought his daughter into the cubicle, he happened to hear Qin Xun speaking. He spoke Mandarin with a Cantonese accent, which sounded a bit awkward.

 

“Dad, how do you know needles…” Shao Yingniang couldn’t help asking.

 

Shao Yu: “Shh.”

 

Shao Yingniang stopped talking immediately.

 

The father and daughter waited quietly in the cubicle for half an hour before someone came to look for them.

 

When Shao Yu returned, he happened to hear lines from an opera on the stage saying “The country will no longer be a country.”

 

“Nowadays, all the actors in Shanghai are forced by those Japanese people to not dare to sing. But here, we can still see Mr. Zhou rehearsing a new play.” Shao Yu said as he slowly removed the needle from Third Master Bai’s body.

 

Most of the famous actors in Shanghai were unwilling to cooperate with the Japanese people’s requests, so most of them found excuses to stop performing. Only Mr. Zhou, who was singing on the stage, was still rehearsing new plays. However , the plays he was rehearsing this time were mostly about the fall of the country, such as “Jing Kang” and “Wen Tianxiang”. The meaning of this was self-evident.

 

Mr. Bai San smiled somewhat complacently when he heard this, and said, “I can’t protect others, but I have to protect Mr. Zhou’s taste for me.”

 

Shao Yu smiled and said, “You can protect one, but not thousands.”

 

When Third Master Bai heard this, his face turned pale.

 

Shao Yu did not continue speaking. After finishing treating Third Master Bai,he planned to leave with his daughter.

 

But it is particularly lively here at Third Master Bai’s place today.

 

As soon as the two of them walked out of the box, they saw a young woman in cheongsam walking towards them.

 

The woman was wearing a cheongsam that was tailored to fit her body, and pearl jewelry on her neck and ears. Her face no longer had the shyness she had before. Instead, with her luxurious attire, she looked like a pampered rich lady.

 

After seeing the young woman’s appearance clearly, Shao Yingniang’s eyes immediately focused.

 

The young woman also saw Shao Yingniang, but did not say hello. Instead, she walked straight into the box.

 

That woman was no one else but the little girl who told Third Master Bai the whole story of the locker room incident on the day the incident happened in the restaurant.

 

Judging from her current appearance, she seemed to have become Third Master Bai’s concubine.

 

“Dad, she is still young, how could…” Shao Yingniang couldn’t help but say it.

 

Shao Yu shook his head and said, “We can’t control what you and I agree on.”

 

Shao Yingniang suppressed her surprise. When she saw her former colleague now wearing gorgeous clothes, she did not feel envious at all. Instead, she became secretly alert.

 

The next day, Shao Yingniang changed into a neat outfit and followed Guan Yang to the weaving factory.

 

When the people at the weaving factory saw that the reporters were a man and a woman, they frowned and said, “Reporter Guan, are you training an apprentice?”

 

Guan Yang nodded.

 

The people at the weaving factory immediately said, “You can train an apprentice, but you can’t let her write this manuscript.”

 

Obviously, this shows great distrust of Shao Yingniang.

 

Shao Yingniang was just borrowing the identity of an apprentice and was not a real employee of the newspaper, so she didn’t feel anything about the lack of trust in the people in the weaving factory.

 

On the contrary, Guan Yang couldn’t help but frown when he heard it.

 

While the people from the weaving factory asked them to wait in the reception room, Guan Yang said to Shao Yingniang, “Yingniang, I never look down on you just because you are a woman. Don’t take their words to heart.”

 

Shao Yingniang quickly shook her head and said, “It’s okay, it’s just a casual remark from a stranger.”

 

Guan Yang asked again: “You are so curious about the loom, are you planning to buy one yourself?”

 

Shao Yingniang no longer had any intention of hiding anything, and said openly, “I also plan to open a weaving factory.”

 

Although Guan Yang didn’t understand where Shao Yingniang got so much money, he immediately changed his opinion of Shao Yingniang and said, “You are very ambitious to have such an idea.”

 

Shao Yingniang felt relieved when she saw that Guan Yang did not mock her.

 

Soon, the master who was arranged for them to see the machines arrived at the weaving factory.

 

The master is not very old but very impressive. It is said that he was sent from Hong Kong City. Regarding the issue of the looms, he always has the final say and will not tolerate any questioning from others.

 

Guan Yang took the camera and took a few rough photos with the master’s permission. When he wanted to take more details, he was stopped by the master.

 

“Why take so much pictures? The ones just now are enough.” The master spoke with a strong Hong Kong accent.

 

Guan Yang had no choice but to ask some more questions about the loom.

 

The master was not willing to tell me the details, but based on the information he provided, we could infer the daily output of the loom.

 

Occasionally Shao Yingniang would ask a few questions, but when the master saw that she was a woman, he pretended not to hear them and did not answer at all.

 

When these questions were repeated by the kind-hearted Guan Yang, although the master was extremely reluctant, he would most likely answer honestly.

 

The master’s discriminatory intentions were very obvious.

 

Shao Yingniang did not feel discouraged and did not give up asking questions.

 

With Guan Yang’s help, Shao Yingniang managed to find out everything she wanted to know.
