BHBF Chapter 95.3

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 5) Chapter 95.3: The Son Is The Villian (15)

Ying Siyi was still unaware of the intricacies of the situation. Although she was angry at Zheng Minglang’s drastic change in attitude, she still tried her best to work with him and kept hinting at GAAR’s endorsement in her words.

Zheng Minglang has extensive connections; if he speaks up, the endorsement is practically guaranteed.

“If you want an endorsement, just say so. How would I know if you don’t tell me?” Zheng Minglang said with a smile.

Ying Siyi’s eyes lit up, feeling that hope was right in front of her.

Zheng Minglang added, “Director Wang’s new movie is still missing a female lead.”

After being bombarded with a series of pie-in-the-sky offers, Ying Siyi was already starting to feel dizzy and disoriented.

Zheng Minglang reached out and touched her face, saying, “If you want these things, it depends on whether you’re willing to pay the price.”

Three days later, GAAR officially announced Ying Siyi as its spokesperson for the Asian region.

Looking at the trending topics on Weibo, Ying Siyi felt that the scars on her body didn’t seem like much anymore.

Ying Siyi’s repeated mishaps are a huge blow to her fans. With such a luxury brand endorsement falling through, her fans can finally feel relieved.

Ying Siyi and Gu Jiaying don’t get along, and their fans don’t get along either. At this time, Ying Siyi’s fans also used the endorsement issue to mock Gu Jiaying, ridiculing Gu Jiaying’s reputation as unrealistic and that she doesn’t have a single luxury brand endorsement.

Although Gu Jiaying’s fans were also refuting her claims, her achievements were too obvious, making them seem somewhat deflated.

Seeing Ying Siyi happily scrolling through Weibo, her agent said, “It should have been done a long time ago. No matter how good Shao Yu is to you, he doesn’t have the connections to help you get this endorsement. You should also try to win over Mr. Zheng. Many actresses are eyeing Director Wang’s movie; we must secure it.”

However, the two were not happy for more than two days before the GAAR anti-China incident suddenly broke out.

This incident immediately topped the trending searches, and netizens launched a boycott of GAAR.

Ying Siyi, the newly appointed spokesperson, was also implicated.

“What should I do?” Ying Siyi didn’t want to give up the endorsement, but she was also afraid of being criticized.

The agent didn’t expect Ying Siyi to be so unlucky. She had just secured the endorsement when this incident broke out. She carefully reviewed the incident and found that the insult to China seemed to have happened before, but it had been suppressed until the last two days.

“Let’s wait and see how the brand handles the public relations,” the agent reassured Ying Siyi.

If the brand sincerely apologizes and then conducts reasonable public relations, there is still room for reconciliation.

But the agent was destined to be disappointed; the brand not only did not apologize, but also adopted a very tough stance.

The brand’s arrogant attitude, believing itself to be irreplaceable, has led to a complete disregard for the opinions of consumers in China. This hardline approach has only fueled the increasingly strong resistance.

Seeing the situation escalating online, Ying Siyi couldn’t sit still any longer and asked, “If we breach the contract now, how much compensation will we have to pay?”

“Thirty million.” Although the agents were unwilling to take this step, the brand was forcing them to make this choice.

“Let’s break the contract.” Ying Siyi closed her eyes.

Ying Siyi had just secured a luxury brand endorsement, only to lose it in an instant. Although the brand lost Huaxia Times due to its own self-destructive actions, netizens, always eager for drama, immediately pinned the blame on Ying Siyi.

“She’s a jinx; anyone she touches will get into trouble.”

Ying Siyi clenched her fists as she read the comments.

She was implicated so badly this time that all her other endorsements and film contracts that had been agreed upon were now replaced.

“Let’s talk to Mr. Zheng instead,” the agent said.

Ying Siyi couldn’t help but shiver.

Zheng Minglang was already a pervert, and now that she’s fallen on hard times, his methods will likely become even more humiliating. But now that Shao Yu is ignoring her, it seems she really has no other choice.

Shao Yu had just finished a full day of filming and returned to his residence, where he saw Shao Yi sitting next to Shao Tian, teaching his younger sister to recognize characters with a book in hand.

“Daddy’s back!” As soon as Shao Tian saw her father, she immediately left her brother and ran over with her short little legs.

Shao Yu picked up the child and looked at Shao Yi beside her.

Although the child returned safely from Ying Siyi’s side, he has been somewhat listless these past two days, as if he had suffered a great blow. Shao Yu played games with Shao Tian for a while, and only when he had some free time did he have time to talk to his son.

“Why do other mothers love their children so much?” Shao Yi finally couldn’t help but ask.

The production team arranged for several families to travel together later on. In this episode, all the mothers were taking care of their children. When Shao Yi saw how attentive the other mothers were to their children, he couldn’t help but feel that it was unfair when he looked at Ying Siyi.

Even though children lower their expectations, they still can’t help but feel envious when they see comparisons.

Shao Yu patted his little head and said, “Do you think Mommy loves you?”

When Shao Yisaw how other mothers loved their children, he could no longer deceive himself. His nose tingled, and he couldn’t help but cry.

“Is it because I haven’t been good enough?” Shao Yi asked.

Shao Yu shook his head and asked, “Are there any children in kindergarten that you dislike?”

Shao Yi nodded and said, “I hate Dongdong the most. He always pulls girls’ braids. The teacher said it’s not good, but he doesn’t listen.”

“Is there anyone who likes Dongdong?” Shao Yu asked again.

Shao nodded and said, “Several boys like to play with him.”

“That’s right. Some people like it, and some people hate it. It’s impossible for everyone to like the same person,” Shao Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Shao Yi couldn’t help but say, “But she’s my mother.”

Shao Yu said, “You’re still young. It’s good to take responsibility, but you can’t take all the blame on yourself. The fact that she doesn’t love you just proves that you two don’t have a mother-son bond, it’s not your fault.”

“I love you, your sister loves you, Uncle Zhang Ming loves you, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang love you too. So many of us love you, which means you are a good child who deserves to be loved.”

“Never let others make you doubt yourself. You are already very capable, remember that?”

Even with Shao Yu’s attempts to comfort him, it still took Shao Yi a long time to recover. This recording of the show made the child deeply remember the fact that his mother didn’t love him.

After finally getting his child to sleep, Shao Yu received a phone call.

The person making the call was one of the creditors from the same group.

“Director Shao, I really regret not listening to you and not running away in time.” The person on the other end of the phone was full of remorse.

Shao Yu chuckled and said, “President Wang, don’t be too anxious. There are plenty of opportunities to make money. If you lose money here, you can make it back elsewhere.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang immediately asked, “Director Shao, do you need any investment for this film? I have some money…”

Shao Yu has already produced two hit products, and now everyone tends to believe that he will produce a third hit product. As a result, a group of people are scrambling to invest money in Shao Yu.

But Shao Yu is like a shrew who only wants to keep things to himself. He has never accepted any investment and has taken on everything himself. Even if outsiders wanted to get involved, they couldn’t.

Shao Yu said, “Mr. Wang, you’re being a bit unlucky; the money has already been paid.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang naturally understood that Shao Yu was refusing, but he really wanted to win him back from elsewhere, so he said, “Director Shao, I’ve watched you grow up, and your father and I have known each other for so many years. Just tell me the truth, what do you want from your crew to accept investment?”

Shao Yu had no prejudice against these creditors. Although they were in a hurry to collect their debts, they had never taken advantage of his misfortune or taken any extreme actions against him.

Therefore, Shao Yu always spoke to them in a kind and gentle manner.

“Mr. Wang, I can’t say for sure. Maybe one day I’ll figure it out and want to cooperate with someone. When that happens, I’ll come to you first. Just don’t refuse me.”

Hearing that Shao Yu hadn’t ruled out the possibility, President Wang immediately realized that there was an opportunity.

Knowing what Shao Yu cared about most, he thought of catering to her interests and said, “Director Shao, don’t worry, I know what to do.”

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Wang began looking for someone.

In the past, when Shao Yu owed a huge sum of money, these creditors hired people to keep an eye on Ying Siyi. Once Shao Yu paid off the debt, the people keeping an eye on her were removed. Now, in order to please Shao Yu, President Wang has sent people to keep an eye on her again.

Although Ying Siyi had a bad reputation, in the eyes of these creditors, Shao Yu was deeply in love with his ex-wife. Therefore, President Wang planned to send someone to find out her whereabouts and then secretly try to reunite the two.

He didn’t get a chance to get back together, but the people he sent to keep an eye on him did manage to capture some remarkable things.

Ordinary paparazzi have a hard time getting into some private places, but the people that Boss Wang sent were different. Boss Wang was a member of many high-end venues, and by using his membership, he could easily send his underlings in to continue surveillance.

Although Shao Yu only had two film and television projects, the returns were at least ten times the initial investment. Even the stocks that Shao Yu recommended also yielded several times the return.

Because of the enticing benefits, Mr. Wang spared no expense in this surveillance operation, utilizing his extensive network to obtain such clear information.

Even as a creditor, he couldn’t help but get angry when he saw these things, angry that Shao Yu had misplaced his affections and given them all to such a woman.

“Mr. Wang, what do you plan to do with these?” his subordinate asked.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Wang said, “Let’s leave it for now; this matter must not be spread.”

Mr. Wang wanted to expose Ying Siyi’s true colors to the public, but he was afraid that if he did something wrong, he would offend Shao Yu instead.

But before he could figure it out, the matter was suddenly exposed by a media outlet.

His subordinates resigned and could no longer be contacted.

How could Mr. Wang not understand that his subordinates had sold the goods behind his back, taken the money, and run away?

Mr. Wang didn’t have time to investigate his subordinates’ mistakes; he immediately called Shao Yu.

“Director Shao, have you seen those photos?”
