Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 56.4: The Bitter Heroine (72)
The family’s relocation was decided in this way.
The Wang family made their fortune from fabrics, and there were many things in the house that they could not take away, so they were all sold to the father-in-law, Mr. Zhang, at a low price.
The Yue family did not have the same long-term vision as Wang Jizong. They just felt that they had picked up a great bargain and were reluctant to let their daughter go soon.
Wang Jizong had his own sources of information, so he was certain that Wencheng would be reached soon. However, even with such fatal news, he had no intention of telling the Yue family at all. He did not even reveal too much to his wife, only saying that he wanted to go to Shanghai to start over.
As soon as Wang Jizong and his family arrived in Shanghai, they received the news that Wencheng had been captured.
When his later wife Zhang Huiyun heard the news, she immediately became extremely anxious and kept asking Wang Jizong to go back to save people, but Wang Jizong flatly refused.
In the past in Wencheng, Wang Jizong often tolerated his wife because he cared about his father-in-law. But now in Shanghai, Zhang Huiyun was isolated and helpless without the support of her natal family, so Wang Jizong no longer concealed it and gradually returned to his true nature.
Old Madam Wang, who had been suppressed for a long time, did not have a good face when facing this daughter-in-law who had not given birth to a son. Zhang Huiyun had no reliable person around her, and she actually lived the same life as Shao Yingniang did in the past.
Even though the Wang family was not as well off as before, they could still afford to buy an independent small house in Shanghai. In addition, they brought a lot of servants with them when they moved, so the family still lived a pampered life.
After gaining a foothold in Shanghai, Wang Jizong was eager to continue his business. This time he was starting over again, so he conducted some careful investigations.
Wang Jizong came to Shanghai and saw how other people did business. Naturally, he knew that he could not continue with his previous ways. He wanted to continue the cloth business, and the best way was to start his own weaving factory.
However, the weaving factories in Shanghai now all use new looms. Wang Jizong also wanted to buy this new machine, but after some inquiries, he learned that all such machines came from a weaving machine factory in Hong Kong called Rainbow.
The Shao Weaving Factory in Shanghai had a close relationship with the Rainbow Loom Factory. It was said that if any factory in Shanghai wanted to buy new looms, they had to go through Shaw’s as a matchmaker.
When Wang Jizong heard the name of Shao’s Weaving Factory, he did not think of his ex-wife. Instead, after finding out that the female boss of the factory was also from Wencheng, he felt that his chance to get close to her had come.
Soon, Wang Jizong asked his family to prepare a lot of authentic Wencheng snacks, and he personally visited Shao’s Weaving Factory.
There was also a department within Shao Weaving Factory that specialized in selling looms, but Wang Jizong thought the price asked by the sales department was too high, so he planned to try his luck with his fellow villager Shao Yingniang. However, the internal management of Shao Weaving Factory was very strict, and Wang Jizong was unable to meet Shao Yingniang despite several visits.
Although Shao Yingniang had heard her assistant mention a boss named Wang from Wencheng, she had a lot of things to do and didn’t take it to heart. She just instructed the sales department to receive the customer according to normal procedures and there was no need to give preferential treatment to her fellow villager.
Shao Yingniang not only manages the loom factory now, but Shao Yu also handed over the garment factory under his name to his daughter. This means that she now has to manage two factories, and she was becoming increasingly busier.
Shao Yu owns a clothing factory, which he had originally kept secret from everyone. However, in the past two years, Shao Yu did not deliberately conceal it, so people in the alley gradually found out about it. However, the pharmaceutical factory was still kept a secret.
Liu Cuifen originally had something to say about her husband handing over the garment factory to their daughter. Although she loved her daughter, she still had old-fashioned ideas and always felt that the family business should eventually be handed over to her son.
“If Yingniang can run a factory, can’t Aliang run his own factory in the future? As a man, what kind of ability is it to rely on your father for a living?” Shao Yu directly retort.
Aliang also said: “I want to be a banker in the future, so I don’t care about a small factory.”
Aliang is thirteen years old now, but he still has not changed his ambition to work in a bank, which he set three years ago. Like Shao Yingniang, he is also very sensitive to numbers. Shao Yu’s plan is to send Aliang abroad to study finance in a few years, so he has no intention of training him to be his successor.
In recent years, Aliang’s cigarette business has developed well. He and Ahuan also cooperated to open a small shop. The money earned from the shop also allowed Aliang to achieve financial freedom.
Although Aliang is not very old, he is very sensitive to currency. He uses all the money he earns from the shop to buy gold.
During troubled times, the price of gold always went up, and Aliang made a lot of money from it.
Although Liu Cuifen did an excellent job in the restaurant, after all, because she was a woman, and an older woman at that, she was unable to advance further after being promoted to foreman.
However, Shao Yu has not paid much attention to business in the past year. Most of the time he goes out early and comes back late. Even his family doesn’t know what he was doing. The organization often receives news from a person who signs his name as “Lu”, but has never seen the real person.
At first they were suspicious of this mysterious man, but because the information Shao Yu sent out was always very accurate and helped them, they also trusted Shao Yu, whom they had never met.
