BHBF Chapter 58.2

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 58.2: The Bitter Heroine (82)

After the Anti-Japanese War, Shanghai returned to the hands of the Guo Party.

 

A new emperor appoints new ministers. The restored regime naturally had to conduct a liquidation in Shanghai. It seemed that countless large factories collapsed overnight due to this liquidation.

 

However, in such a fierce torrent, Third Master Bai remained standing. He was a bullish person, so he survived the first round safely.

 

On the contrary, Wang Jizong had finally managed to devour most of the Yue family’s assets, but Zheng Chuhuai was accused by the Liu family of colluding with the Japanese.

 

The Liu family was a relative of the President. In ancient times, they were royal relatives with enormous power, and not someone that others could provoke.

 

All of Zheng Chuhuai’s businesses, together with the properties that Wang Jizong had secretly embezzled over the years, were now all vomited out. It seemed as if Wang Jizong had worked for nothing over the years. He had worked so hard to expand his father-in-law’s property, but in the end, all of it became working for the Liu family.

 

Although the Liu family embezzled the property, they did not go too far. Zheng Chuhuai and his family were released after being detained for a few days.

 

Because of the turmoil caused by the Liu family’s embezzlement, Zheng Chuhuai noticed the little tricks Wang Jizong was doing behind his back, but now all his properties have become nothing. Zheng Chuhuai had no intention of caring about his son-in-law. Instead, for the sake of his daughter, he planned to forget about it.

 

Zheng Chuhuai was disheartened and felt that he could not stay in the country any longer, so he planned to move his family to Southeast Asia. His son was not doing well, so even though he knew that his son-in-law might not be a good person, he could not help but rely on him a little more.

 

Zheng Chuhuai wanted Wang Jizong to go to Southeast Asia with him, but Wang Jizong flatly refused. Zheng Chuhuai had no choice but to drag his elderly body and take his family to Southeast Asia.

 

The journey to Nanyang was extremely difficult. Zheng Chuhuai’s son was still not doing well, but his daughter-in-law, under a series of stimulations, began to take the responsibility of the entire family and successfully arrived in Nanyang with the whole family.

 

Zheng Chuhuai was too weak to take charge of things, but he was still obsessed with old-fashioned ideas. He would rather give the family’s money to his son than to his daughter-in-law, and he also despised his daughter-in-law for not giving birth to a grandson. Seeing this, Zheng’s daughter-in-law simply stopped caring about the family, left the house, and set up her own business with her daughter. Within a few years, she had her own business in Nanyang.

 

In contrast, Zheng Chuhuai wanted his son to be successful, but his son eventually became a burden to the entire family. Ultimately, the Zheng family failed to make a comeback in Southeast Asia, and instead gradually became worse off than ordinary families.

 

The reason why Wang Jizong was unwilling to leave the country was not only because he did not want to leave in such disgrace, but also because he felt that he had seen the way to the heaven.

 

In the past in Wencheng, a move by the Marshal could have a huge impact on the Wang family’s business, but now, a move by the Liu family had destroyed all his years of hard work.

 

Wang Jizong now felt that even if one reached the top in business, everything was still empty, and the truly powerful thing was always power.

 

Wang Jizong had never been so eager for power as he was at this moment. He no longer thought about making a comeback in the business world, but instead thought about how he could gain a stepping stone to power.

 

Shao Yu had no idea what Wang Jizong was thinking. At this time, he was persuading Shao Yingniang to move her business out of Shanghai.

 

“When the situation was unstable, Daddy didn’t let me leave. Why does Daddy want me to leave now that the situation has stabilized?” Shao Yingniang was a little confused.

 

Shao Yu saw the wind from Zheng Chuhuai’s affairs and said, “How can the current situation be stabilized so easily? If the Liu family wants to eat meat, they want to eat the meat of the entire Shanghai city. Do you think they will be satisfied with just the Zheng family?”

 

Shao Yingniang was stunned for a moment, then said, “We are all doing business honestly. Aren’t the Liu family afraid of causing public outrage by doing this?”

 

The Shao Garment Factory did make money, but part of the money was used to provide generous salaries to the female workers, and the other part was used to support the front line, so not much actually went into the boss’ pocket.

 

Shao Yingniang considered herself a conscientious entrepreneur, which was why she had such naive ideas.

 

Her idea may be correct when facing every normal political party.

 

But she happened to be facing the Liu family, whose appetite was as big as their courage. Although the Liu family was one of the top families in the country, they had no country and future in their eyes, but only saw the wool in front of them.

 

Shao Yu said: “The Liu family is not afraid, they are not afraid at all, they even dare to touch the relief food, there is nothing they dare not touch.”

 

Shao Yingniang opened his mouth slightly.

 

Shao Yu continued, “What you are responsible for now is not just one person’s livelihood, but the livelihoods of so many female workers. If the factory falls into the hands of the Liu family, what do you think will happen?”

 

Shao Yingniang did not even dare to follow Shao Yu to think further.

 

“Move the two factories under your name, together with the pharmaceutical factory, to Hong Kong City. The workers should take as much as possible with them. You are familiar with Hong Kong City, and Ah Huan has already made arrangements there,” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Yingniang nodded slowly, and soon she asked again: “Are we leaving together as a family this time?”

 

“I opened a western restaurant in Hong Kong City, which I will hand over to your mother to manage, and I plan to send your younger brother to study abroad.” Shao Yu talked about his arrangements.

 

Shao Yu’s arrangement was obviously very thoughtful for everyone.

 

Shao Yingniang suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, “What about you, Dad? You’re leaving with us, right?”

 

Although Shao Yingniang is very busy every day, she is neither deaf nor blind.

 

Shao Yu goes out early and comes back late every day. Although she doesn’t know what Shao Yu was busy with, she had vaguely realized what Shao Yu was doing.

 

Shao Yu looked at his daughter and said, “I won’t leave. I want to stay here.”

 

“Didn’t you say that the current situation is unstable? If we want to go, let’s go together. We are a family.” Shao Yingniang said anxiously.
