BHBF Chapter 63.6

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 63.6: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (21)

“Yaozu, Shao Group is almost finished.”

 

As soon as Zhao Liansheng opened his mouth, Zheng Yaozu was shocked.

 

“What’s going on? Why do you suddenly say that?” Zheng Yaozu asked anxiously.

 

Although he has not yet been involved with Shao Group, he has long regarded Shao Group as his own property, so naturally he will not allow any mistakes.

 

“It’s all because of that unfortunate project.” Zhao Liansheng was also very troubled at this time.

 

Zhao Liansheng had worked at Shao Group for ten years and had finally made it to the middle level of the company. Shao Group paid him generous salaries, but his wife was a full-time housewife. The mortgage and the food and drink of the whole family all depend on his salary.

 

Now that the company was about to go bankrupt, he didn’t know where his next job will be, nor does he know whether he can find an equally good job.

 

“What project?” Zheng Yaozu vaguely grasped something.

 

Zhao Liansheng said, “It’s the one you asked about before, the project in Dongcheng District. The company had invested a lot of money in the early stage and had high hopes for this project, but later the partners withdrew their investment one after another, and finally only we were left.”

 

“If it were just that, it would be fine. As long as the project is up and running, it will be fine. But the project in Dongcheng District was stopped by the environmental protection department the day before yesterday. All the money the company invested in the early stage has gone down the drain.”

 

Zheng Yaozu frowned and said, “Even if this project is gone, the company still has other projects. At most, this year’s financial report will not look good. How can it be so bad that it is about to end?”

 

Zhao Liansheng sighed and said, “This project was the fuse. Since it started, the company stopped 17 projects overnight, all because of environmental issues.”

 

Zheng Yaozu felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue. He asked again, “How did the company’s board of directors decide? Is there nothing they can do about it?”

 

Zhao Liansheng said, “What can we do? So many projects have run into problems, and the bank is asking for repayment. The company’s funding chain is broken, and we are left with a lot of debt. I heard that during this period, the chairman sold a lot of the company’s assets, even several landmark plazas.”

 

“Yaozu, you are the son-in-law of the Shao family. You should first sort out the property under your name and transfer it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be frozen along with the Shao family.”

 

After Zhao Liansheng finished his persuasion, he hung up the phone.

 

Zheng Yaozu had been trying hard to please Shao Mingzhu during this period, but he didn’t expect such a big thing to happen outside. After hanging up the phone, he immediately started searching for news about Shao Group.

 

“Shao Group’s Yangcheng Landmark Plaza is listed for sale”

 

“Shaw Brothers Landmark Plaza in Shanghai”

 

“Shao Group is heavily in debt and is suspected of bankruptcy”

 

Looking at these shocking news, Zheng Yaozu felt his eyes go dark and he almost couldn’t stand.

 

Some things suddenly came to his mind. Zheng Yaozu thought that Shao Yu’s recent strange behavior was a test for himself, but now it seems that Shao Yu was looking for a way out for his daughter.

 

The Zheng family, a relative that Shao Yu had looked down upon, now became Shao Mingzhu’s retreat.

 

He returned to the bedroom dazed and saw Shao Mingzhu answering the phone.

 

“Dad, you are going to send Qiqi abroad now, isn’t it too early? She is still very young, do you want to wait?” Shao Mingzhu said.

 

No one knew what was said on the other end of the phone. Shao Mingzhu said, “Since Qiqi is willing, I won’t stop her. The school has arranged everything. Are you going there tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry…Okay, I’ll fly over there to visit her later.”

 

“The house under my name was sold?” Shao Mingzhu asked again.

 

Zheng Yaozu’s heart suddenly tightened.

 

But Shao Mingzhu said indifferently: “Just sell it. Dad must have your reasons for doing this. Anyway, I have already written the power of attorney when I left home. Dad just sell it.”

 

Shao Mingzhu didn’t feel anything was wrong at all. Instead, she talked incessantly to Shao Yu about her life in the Zheng family.

 

Zheng Yaozu was listening at the side, looking dumbfounded.

 

At the end of the call, Shao Mingzhu said to the other end: “Dad, don’t worry, Yaozu is very good to me, and his parents love me too.”

 

After hanging up the phone, Shao Mingzhu turned to look at Zheng Yaozu and said, “Yaozu, I want to eat baked sweet potatoes. Can you bake one tonight? The sweet potato can’t be too big or too small. It’s best to be the size of a palm. This way it tastes best.”

 

Shao Mingzhu had no idea what was happening outside, and instead continued to play the role of Princess and the Pea.

 

Zheng Yaozu opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse, and asked, “Have you sold all the houses under your name?”

 

Shao Mingzhu nodded and said, “Dad said he needs some money to make ends meet.”

 

“Is there no one left?” Zheng Yaozu asked.

 

Shao Mingzhu nodded.

 

Zheng Yaozu thought of something and asked, “What about your car and your jewelry?”

 

“Dad said he would take care of it first and buy me a better one later.”

 

Shao Mingzhu was a person who doesn’t care much about money. In the original plot, she transferred the inherited shares to Zheng Yaozu without any concern. Naturally, she won’t be on guard against Shao Yu now.

 

When Zheng Yaozu thought about the fact that his years of planning had come to nothing, he could no longer bear it. His eyes went dark and he fell down.
