Zhou Hong's eyebrows jumped. He looked up at Mr. Zhou's somewhat sad expression, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Zhou Ran had been standing aside and didn't dare to say anything since just now. Seeing this, he came out to smooth things over awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, uncle has been busy recently and is inevitably upset. You can wait until he is done with his work before talking about getting married. There is no need to rush."
Zhou Hong was also afraid that the old man would be really angry with him during the New Year, so he nodded and said in a slow tone: "I really don't have time to think about these things recently. Dad, you also know what the current environment is like. Recently, the backlog of cases in the bureau is more than in the past few years."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou closed his eyes tiredly and said nothing.
Zhou Hong felt helpless when he saw him like this. He looked at the time and said hesitantly, "Dad, I'm relieved to see that you are in good health. There are still people in the bureau. I'll go back first and come to see you another day."
Mr. Zhou sighed when he heard this. He also knew that he could no longer take care of his son. He could only wave his hand helplessly and replied, "It's over. Go and get busy. This son is more important."
Zhou Ran quickly stood up and sent Zhou Hong out. As they walked out, Zhou Hong taught him, "Be nice to the girl from the Tang family. Don't bully her, and don't do anything that would bring shame to our Zhou family."
Hearing Zhou Hong mention his beloved wife, Zhou Ran smiled happily and replied: "Uncle, don't worry, my wife and I have a good relationship. We plan to get the marriage certificate first, and then hold a wedding after the natural disaster is over."
Originally, Tang Shiqi didn't want to get the marriage certificate so early. Zhou Ran coaxed her for a long time before Tang Shiqi reluctantly agreed to get the marriage certificate with him after the new year.
This made Zhou Ran, Zhou Hao and Old Man Zhou very happy, and the three of them immediately looked for people to buy jewelry everywhere.
Coincidentally, at this time, someone told Mr. Zhou that Yunjiang Hotel had received two diamonds of extremely rare color and size. The old man was so excited that he bought both diamonds and gave them to his grandson's wife and daughter-in-law as gifts.
Seeing Zhou Hong nod, Zhou Ran smiled again and asked boldly: "Uncle, you should also consider getting married. Otherwise, you will be so lonely. Do you think I can have an aunt next year?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hong slapped Zhou Ran on the back of the head. Zhou Ran staggered and almost fell down.
Zhou Ran staggered a few steps before he stood firm. He looked up at Zhou Hong's expression, then shut his mouth obediently, not daring to speak anymore.
Zhou Hong really has no plans to get married, and he has no expectations for marriage.
Zhou Hong didn't understand the meaning of marriage because her parents lived apart for a long time and her husband was not by her side when her mother died of illness.
If it was just for the sake of continuing the family line, then the Zhou family already had Zhou Ran, and Zhou Hong didn't want to get into marriage.
He was afraid that he would become like his father and drag an innocent woman into the same misfortune as his mother.
After the two of them walked out of the villa, Zhou Hong quietly told Zhou Ran, "Stay away from the people from Zhao's Enterprise recently, and don't have too much business dealings with them. Someone reported that they had illegal transactions with foreign forces, and the higher-ups are arranging people to investigate this matter."
Zhou Ran replied solemnly: "Don't worry, uncle. I heard the news some time ago. I know what's going on."
Zhou Ran had heard the news that Shen's Enterprise had withdrawn its investment from Zhao's some time ago. Although Shen's claimed to the outside world that it was just a normal investment adjustment, people with a keen sense of smell noticed that there might be something hidden behind this.
Fortunately, Zhou's enterprise has its own desalination technology, and has no business relationship with Zhao's.
At this time, the housekeeper Zhang Bo asked the driver to drive Zhou Hong's car over. Zhou Hong was about to get in the car, but he heard the sound of two people arguing with the security guard in front.
Zhou Hong asked in confusion: "What happened earlier? What's the quarrel?"
Butler Zhang Bo quickly replied, "It was a distant cousin who wanted to visit the old man with her boyfriend, but was stopped by the security guard. The old man ordered that no guests be seen."
Zhou Ran glanced forward, recognized Zhou Mei, smiled and replied, "She is the granddaughter of my great-uncle, and her boyfriend also works in the company. I just heard someone in the front yard say that her boyfriend is competing for the position of project leader, and she probably wants to come and talk to the old man."
Zhou Hong frowned when he heard this. "How can young people not think down to earth when doing things and always think about building relationships?"
What's more, the matter has now come to the old man's presence. These two young people are really confused.
Zhou Ran nodded and replied, "The company has always only looked at ability, so don't worry, uncle."
Zhou Ran seemed to have thought of something after he finished speaking, and added: "By the way, this cousin's boyfriend is Lu Siming, the eldest son of the Lu family, who was the leader of the tourism industry before. Many companies went bankrupt this year, and the Lu family was not spared."
Zhou Hong was stunned when he heard this. The Lu family is engaged in the tourism industry? This morning, he had just dealt with a case in which the Lu family went to Xia Shige's house to commit armed assault. He still remembered it clearly, and also remembered what Xia Shige told him about the absurd things the Lu family did.
