Zhou Shuyan is so smart, he shouldn’t be fooled, right?
"What's going on?" Zhou Shuyan heard something wrong with Shen Changze's tone, "Why are you suddenly asking about my wife?"
"I don't know how the rumor got out there, but it's said that you married a village girl." Shen Changze said, "The problem is that no one has seen your sister-in-law yet. How did this rumor come about?"
He only told Qi Sishen about Zhou Shuyan's misfortune in Hexing Village.
Shen Changze didn't know.
"I found this news outrageous when I heard it." Shen Changze said, "Brother Yan, you are so busy that you don't have the chance to go to remote villages even on business trips. Moreover, in daily work and life, you don't have the chance to come into contact with any village girls!"
"Even if they were employees of Chengzhou or a cooperative company, how could they have had much contact with you?" Shen Changze didn't know whether he was explaining or convincing himself. "I don't know what the person who made up this nonsense was thinking. He made up such nonsense that it is impossible for people to hear it."
Shen Changze kept talking, not even giving Zhou Shuyan a chance to speak.
Zhou Shuyan heard that he seemed to have finally finished speaking, and opened his mouth to explain, but he heard Shen Changze say again: "Brother Yan, was it passed on by Zhou Xueyi?"
"That guy is such a jerk. He must have spread this nonsense." Shen Changze continued, "I don't know what Zhou Xueyi is thinking. He always does these stupid and unpresentable things."
Using such a petty and unpresentable trick could not cause any substantial damage to Zhou Shuyan, and it only made him look more stupid.
Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure it was Zhou Xueyi who passed it on?"
"I'm not sure." Shen Changze said, "But apart from Zhou Xueyi, I really can't think of anyone else who would spread such boring things."
Zhou Shuyan smiled and said, "Even if you don't call me, I'm going to contact you."
"What? Brother Yan, have you heard about this rumor too?" Shen Changze perked up. "What do you want me to do for you? Just tell me! I will definitely do it for you."
"..." Zhou Shuyan gently pointed at his forehead with his index and middle fingers, and said, "I only knew that after hearing you say it."
Shen Changze was surprised, "Then why did you come to us?"
"Haven't you always wanted to meet my wife?" Zhou Shuyan thought of Lu Youxi, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. "You two can discuss when you are free and make an appointment to have dinner together."
When Shen Changze heard this, he must be free tonight! However, he can decide his own time, and he dare not decide for others, "Okay, I'll go find them now!"
"I'll talk to them one by one." Zhou Shuyan said, "This way it will be more sincere."
Otherwise, Shen Changze would convey the message and make others jealous.
Shen Changze took a breath and said, "Brother Yan, how could they deserve to let you speak one by one?"
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
"This is something that concerns my wife, so I must take it seriously."
Although Shen Changze couldn't see Zhou Shuyan's expression through the phone, he was immediately in awe when he heard Zhou Shuyan's voice was particularly serious and deep.
Brother Yan is really... henpecked!
"Okay!" Shen Changze stopped talking.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shuyan called Qi Sishen, Zhong Shubin and Shi Yusheng respectively.
The remaining matters that required time for discussion were left to Qi Sishen and the others to resolve on their own.
But he didn't expect that not long after he hung up the phone, the four of them had already figured it out.
Qi Sishen called him back and said they were free tonight.
Zhou Shuyan: "...What a coincidence, the four of you are all free tonight?"
"Of course." Qi Sishen said, "After I hung up the phone, I discussed it with the three of them. We originally had some social events in the evening, but we turned them down."
That doesn't have to be the case.
"No problem, those social events are just small matters." Qi Sishen said, "It's more important to meet your wife. Before in Hexing Village, I only saw her from a distance and never had any real contact with her."
Zhou Shuyan pinched his brows. These people were extremely curious about Lu Youxi.
"By the way, have you heard about that rumor?" Qi Sishen asked.
"You mean, there is a rumor that my wife is a country girl?" Zhou Shuyan said.
Hearing Qi Sishen's affirmative answer, Zhou Shuyan said: "Shen Changze just told me."
"I don't know who spread this. The only people who know your wife's identity are your wife's family, your family, and me." Qi Sishen said, "But I didn't tell anyone."
"Shen Changze and the others don't know about your wife's situation and they really think it's just a rumor." Qi Sishen said.
"I have asked someone to investigate." Zhou Shuyan said.
"Could it be Zhou Xueyi who did it?" Qi Sishen asked suspiciously.
"You also suspect him?" Zhou Shuyan smiled. "Shen Changze also suspects him. What the hell is Zhou Xueyi doing? Whenever something goes wrong, he is the first one to be suspected."
"Because this is not a smart thing to do. Apart from Zhou Xueyi, I really can't think of anyone else who would do such a stupid thing." Qi Sishen couldn't hide his disgust and made a "tsk".
However, although Qi Sishen suspected so, Zhou Shuyan felt that it might not be Zhou Xueyi.
Zhou Xueyi had been fooled by Lu Youxi before. This was the first time Lu Youxi appeared in Chengzhou as his wife, and Zhou Xueyi could not hide this from her.
Zhou Xueyi doesn't even need to plant people along the line in the company, he can find out by just asking casually.
If Zhou Xueyi had done this, he would not have simply said that his wife was a country girl.
They would definitely spare no efforts to maliciously slander him and Lu Youxi, so how could they not name them?
Therefore, Zhou Shuyan felt that whoever did it this time was not smart, and it was probably not intended to discredit him or Lu Youxi.
As for what the purpose is.
Zhou Shuyan was unable to put himself in the other party's shoes and think from his perspective, as he was able to come up with such a stupid idea.
Zhou Shuyan hung up the phone and was thinking about this when Yu Zeqin knocked on the door.
"President, I found out." Yu Zeqin walked to Zhou Shuyan's desk, "This matter really wasn't done by Zhou Xueyi. It was Lin Jingshen who released the news."
"Lin Jingshen?" Zhou Shuyan was surprised. After thinking for a while, he remembered who Lin Jingshen was. "Why did he pass this on?"
"Besides, didn't Youxi clarify at school that her husband and I are not the same person?" Zhou Shuyan said with a frown.
Yu Zeqin: “…”
President, I suspect you have schizophrenia.
You are Lu Youxi’s husband.
You could actually tell the lie that you and Lu Youxi's husband were not the same person so fluently, and you didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort.
"Yes, now no one in Beijing University doubts that you and Miss Lu are husband and wife." Yu Ze said admiringly, "Miss Lu is really amazing."
