Marrying a powerful man: The third master is wild and untamable

Shen Xiuwan said honestly: "The embroidery business is in a slump right now, so I want to close the embroidery studio temporarily. I am quite interested in the textile industry, but I heard it is very difficult to do it."

Bai Yuanjing's eyes showed admiration and his tone was unhurried: "The predecessors once proposed 'industry to save the country', and the textile industry was the first to bear the brunt, because the development of the textile industry can successively drive various innovations in steel, chemistry, technology and machinery, etc." The development of the industry. If you have this idea, you are keeping pace with the times.”

Shen Xiuwan's pupils dilated slightly.

She asked curiously: "So, if I run a textile factory, can I still strengthen my country?"

"Why not?" Bai Yuanjing smiled, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just hiring workers can help the country feed a lot of people, which is also a good thing. The Rende Hospital in Shencheng is our home Our industry has rescued many abandoned poor girls over the years. If Miss Shen is interested in starting a textile factory, I can promote it for you, and maybe they will be willing to work for you."

Shen Xiuwan felt a little moved.

She added: "But starting a textile factory requires a lot of money, right? I heard that good textile machines are imported from abroad, and each machine costs a lot of money."

Although she is not engaged in serious business, she can still realize that the currency is now inflated.

Maybe in a few years, the money won't be worth much anymore.

She doesn't know how much purchasing power she will have with the remaining 1,500 yuan in the future.

Bai Yuanjing said: "No matter what kind of business you are doing, you have to see it with your own eyes before you can decide whether to do it or not. I will return to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, why don't you come with me? There are many textile factories over there, and I can help you with my connections. Go in and visit.”

Shen Xiuwan was moved.

He Biqing only thought that she was going out to have fun, and naturally supported her and Bai Yuanjing together.

Shen Xiuwan felt that it was inappropriate to be alone with Bai Yuanjing, so she took Tingfang with her.

The three of them took the ferry to Shanghai, and Shen Xiuwan was stunned.

She thought that Yanjing was already a very prosperous place, but she did not expect that Shanghai would be even more lively, with ferries from various countries moored at the docks, high-rise buildings on the streets and busy traffic, the neon lights of the foreign concessions by the Suzhou River, and the department stores on the Bund full of popularity. Shen Xiu was dazzled by all kinds of foreign goods and luxury goods.

"It can be called the most prosperous metropolis in East Asia -" Bai Yuanjing said, "but this is only for foreigners and wealthy people."

Shen Xiuwan was silent.

She knew that behind a metropolis like this, there must be a large group of poor people living in the shadows. They were like worker ants in an ant colony, burning their own blood and sweat to add a light to such a metropolis.

Bai Yuanjing kept her promise and took her to visit several textile factories.

The more she looked at it, the more she couldn't help but frown.

The female workers in these textile factories are only 11 or 12 years old, and they are very skinny. Their daily wages can barely maintain food and clothing. Even the time to go to the toilet is strictly regulated, and they work for 12 to 16 hours a day. The hands were deformed.

More than a dozen people sleep together in a small and dirty dormitory. They can even clearly hear the sound of others excreting and smell the smell of the toilet. There is no privacy and dignity at all. They are becoming numb day by day, as if they have become a machine on a cold machine. Lost emotional parts.

Shen Xiuwan couldn't help but blush: "Although I want to make money, I don't want to make this kind of money."

Bai Yuanjing looked at her.

Sometimes he wonders, what exactly does he like about Shen Xiuwan?

Maybe, it's her human touch?

She has not been assimilated by society, nor has she been carried away by her vanity because of marrying into a rich and powerful family. No matter where she is, she still remains clear-headed and maintains her original intention.

He liked the warmth in her.

The man's face was gentle, and his eyes were soft and obsessed.

Afterwards, Bai Yuanjing invited Shen Xiuwan to visit department stores and watch movies in the theater. His gentlemanly demeanor made Shen Xiuwan a little embarrassed, but she also secretly guessed his intentions.

The movie theater is showing a love movie.

Shen Xiuwan secretly looked at Bai Yuanjing in the dim light and shadow. She is a divorced woman.

With Bai Yuanjing's prominent family background, why did he still approach her when he knew it was impossible for them?

In Jincheng's heart, she was as contemptible as a piece of grass.

Could it be that in Bai Yuanjing's heart, it becomes extra precious?

But is she really worthy of others' love?

Shen Xiuwan did not stay in Shanghai for too long.

When returning to Suzhou, Bai Yuanjing bought her a ferry ticket and personally took her to the ferry.

The wind on the Suzhou River was a bit strong, and several fishing boats were sailing out of the pier.

Bai Yuanjing handed the boat ticket and a note to Shen Xiuwan, and warned: "The note is my phone number in Shanghai. When you get home, remember to call me to report that you are safe."

Shen Xiuwan nodded.

Bai Yuanjing handed over a few things he bought yesterday to Tingfang: "These are gifts for my aunt. Don't lose them."

Shen Xiuwan quickly refused: "This can't be accepted——"

"It's just some Chinese medicinal materials to nourish the body. It's not worth much. I came to the door empty-handed last time. I felt very sorry. I just want to make up for it a little."

Shen Xiuwan boarded the ferry and waved to Bai Yuanjing.

Bai Yuanjing stood on the dock, smiling and nodding towards her.

In sight, the sky is like water.

A girl wearing a white cheongsam with a slanted lapel is lying on the side of the ship, with a few strands of hair brushing her white and round cheeks. She can't help but lower the brim of her hat in the morning wind. Her lipsticked lips look plump and young, and her curved almond eyes Bright and gentle, like the sparkling waves reflected in the Suzhou River.

Bai Yuanjing's heart suddenly palpitated.

In the past two days, they visited Shanghai together, ate together, watched movies together, and visited bookstores together. He was convinced that Shen Xiuwan was the woman he wanted to spend his life with.

She was divorced, why didn't he tell her his feelings?

What on earth is he waiting for?

He took two steps forward: "Miss Shen——"

The ferry has departed.

The rumbling sound drowned out his voice.

Shen Xiuwan looked at him in confusion until the man's figure completely turned into a black dot in her field of vision.

It was already afternoon when we returned to Shen's house.

He Biqing opened the gifts and couldn't help but gasped: "This Dean Bai is really generous, including ginseng and cordyceps. How much does it cost? Hey, there is also a jade bracelet here, Awan, I think it is Bai Yuan The chief gave it to you specially."

Shen Xiuwan looked at the jade bracelet.

I don't know when Bai Yuanjing bought it. The jade is green, clear and warm, and it looks very valuable at first glance.

Between men and women, it's just a farewell, but giving jewelry seems too ambiguous.

She quickly put the brocade box back: "You can't have this!"

He Biqing said: "Why can't you take what someone gave you? I think Dean Bai is really nice and he cares about you. He is much better than that Fu Jincheng! Awan, you can't be alone all your life, can you? Dean Bai He is someone worthy of your trust for the rest of your life! Even if Fu Jincheng stands in front of me now and begs me to promise you to him again, I will still stand with Dean Bai!"
