Zhou Hong frowned and said, "There are many cooperative projects between Zhou Corporation and the government now, so you have to be careful when recruiting people. Lu Siming's brother and parents came to our house with knives and almost killed someone. I am the one who handled this case. If such a person enters the company's management, what will happen if it gets out?"
Zhou Ran was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "There is such a thing?"
Zhou Ran's expression then became serious, and he said to Zhou Hong in a serious tone: "Don't worry, uncle. I will take care of it."
Zhou Hong then nodded and drove away.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since the birth of the newborn, and the smell of newborn in the air has faded.
It is already March. In the past, the ice and snow would melt, and the grass would grow and the birds would sing. However, now the temperature is still hot and dry.
This abnormally high temperature started in April last year and has lasted for almost a whole decade. Almost all the lakes and rivers in the world have dried up. For a whole decade, the drought-stricken earth has not produced any harvest.
From time to time, people in the community property group would discuss the new supplies that had come before, which smelled like pork and rice noodles. Unfortunately, most people now could only survive on sand rattan cakes.
At the beginning of the year, most of the companies went bankrupt, there were not many people with jobs, and most families were living beyond their means. If there were no sand vine cakes, many people would have starved to death.
During this period, Xia Shige practiced boating skills in Taoyuan Lake every day. Although his skills were a little rusty, he dared to sail for a distance from the shore.
The area of this body of water is so large that the lake seems to have no boundaries. In the distance, the water and the sky meet, and you can't even see the other side.
There is no area covered by fog within the current field of vision, and all nearby areas have been unlocked, but Xia Shige is not sure if there are any unlocked areas on the other side of the lake.
Xia Shige asked the cat, but the cat just told her that it was not sure either, and that only by reaching the place covered by the fog could it know the conditions for unlocking the next area.
Xia Shige thought, now the Utopia space already has farmlands, streams, woods, mountains, and lakes, just like a paradise. If there are still unlocked areas, what would they be?
Seeing that it was almost noon, Xia Shige drove the boat to the dock.
She had planted some lotus seeds in Taoyuan Lake before. Now there were lotus leaves floating on the lake and some graceful lotus buds could be vaguely seen.
After waiting for a while, you can harvest lotus seeds and lotus roots.
Xia Shige left the space, went out and walked down the stairs, and saw Sun Yuegui in the living room frowning and sighing in front of her phone.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you? Why are you so depressed?" Xia Shige asked puzzledly.
Sun Yuegui replied with a sad face: "I just received a message from the boss of our clothing factory. She said that if the high temperature continues today, our factory will have to close down."
In fact, it is very rare for a garment factory to be able to support the current situation. After all, so many companies have gone bankrupt in the past, and less than one in ten survived.
The factory building of this clothing factory is the boss's own home. There is no rent to pay, and the biggest expense is the basic salary of more than 1,000 yuan per month for employees.
But we still can’t start work today. The boss can’t stand it any longer as we keep bringing in money but not spending it.
Sun Yuegui started out as a handyman in this garment factory and had worked diligently and conscientiously over the years, rising through the ranks to become a manager. She was deeply saddened by the factory's closure.
Xia Shige thought about it and realized that according to the timeline of his previous life, this high temperature would end next month.
Starting from the beginning of April this year, due to the endless nights caused by the volcanic eruption, the sun will not be seen for a long time, the temperature will continue to drop, and finally there will be blizzards and severe cold.
Xia Shige remembered that in his previous life, after the high temperature ended, the country predicted the coming global cold weather, and many factories received notices to resume work. The country issued a task, asking them to rush to produce equipment and materials to keep out the cold.
As a garment factory, Sun Yuegui's factory will certainly join the ranks of rushing to produce winter clothes.
So Xia Shige said to comfort her, "Aunt, maybe the temperature will drop in two months. Don't worry. It started getting hot in April last year. Maybe things will turn around in April this year."
Sun Yuegui sighed and nodded when she heard this: "I hope so."
