Zhou Ran got anxious after hearing this: "Wife, why don't you believe me? Don't you know my uncle? Haven't you seen how depressed my uncle has been recently? He's like a fool who is trapped in love for the first time... He didn't even look so depressed when he was investigating the serial murder case before!"
Tang Shiqi believed him for a moment, then she frowned and said, "If what you guessed is true... then it's too inappropriate! Zhou Ran, why are you so happy? Your uncle can be Shi Ge's father when he was younger! Do you still want to match this up?!"
Although Zhou Hong has good looks, holds a high position and has a promising future, he is already in his 40s after all.
Xia Shige has only been graduated from university for less than two years, and the two of them are a whole generation apart!
Zhou Ran was stunned when he heard this. He carefully looked at Tang Shiqi's face and said vaguely: "That's what you say...but my uncle is so old, it's rare for him to like someone..."
Tang Shiqi shook her head and said seriously, "It's not okay to fall in love with her even if it's rare! Shi Ge is so young. She is more than 20 years younger than your uncle!"
Zhou Ran was somewhat unconvinced when he heard this and whispered back, "My uncle is only in his forties now, in his prime, not old..."
In Zhou Ran's opinion, with Zhou Hong's status and family background, many young girls in their twenties would rush to marry him.
Besides, an old man with a young wife is a standard for powerful men. An emperor in the Ming Dynasty married a woman 17 years older than him, and was ridiculed by later generations. But on the contrary, if a man marries a woman 17 years younger than himself, most people would think it is normal!
So Zhou Ran felt that his uncle was not unworthy of Xia Shige. If there was any question of marrying up, it was Xia Shige who married up. After all, the difference in status and family background between the two was obvious! Was this age difference still a problem? !
Tang Shiqi still shook her head: "When Shige is 40 years old and in her prime, your uncle will be in his teens! When Shige is 70 years old and her old age has just begun, your uncle will be over 90! How many people can live to be over 90? Do you want Shige to spend her old age alone?"
At this point, Tang Shiqi looked at Zhou Ran with some dissatisfaction and asked, "Zhou Ran, in your opinion, what exactly is marriage?!"
Zhou Ran heard Tang Shiqi say this and knew that she was a little angry, so he quickly raised his hands in surrender and coaxed her: "Hey, wife, don't be angry, this is all my uncle's idea! He has a wild idea of wanting an old cow to eat young grass, but I have never thought of this! If you are unhappy, I will not get involved in this matter in the future!"
At this moment, Zhou Ran's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the caller ID showed that it was from the company, Zhou Ran picked up the phone and changed his submissive attitude in front of his wife to become the mature and steady CEO in front of his employees: "Hello, what's up?"
It was unclear what was said on the other end of the phone. Zhou Ran frowned as he listened: "...Alright, just deal with this kind of thing as it should be dealt with. Now is a critical period for cooperation with the government. Don't make it worse."
With Tang Shiqi's puzzled eyes, Zhou Ran hung up the phone and said in a somewhat unbelievable way: "Wife, do you still remember Xia Shige's blood brother Lu Siming? He was reported to have interfered with other people's families and had promiscuous relationships with men and women!"
******
On the other end of the phone, after the management of Zhou's company hung up, they said to the head of Lu Siming's department who was waiting beside them: "Just fire that Lu Siming."
An hour ago, Song Yuhan's mother came to Zhou's Enterprise to report that Lu Siming, an employee of Zhou's Enterprise, had cheated on her daughter-in-law and had a child.
Looking at the information and evidence brought by Song Yuhan's mother, the head of Lu Siming's department was shocked!
Lu Siming actually interfered with his sister Lu Sixue's marriage! The two of them even had a child!
After being shocked, the department head immediately went to Lu Siming to inquire and verify, but he didn't expect that Lu Siming actually admitted it silently!
The department head just found it unbelievable!
Such a small matter would not have been reported to Zhou Ran originally, but the head of this department was a shrewd man. He knew that the previous demotion and transfer of Lu Siming was directly instructed by Zhou Ran to investigate. Now that Lu Siming had done such a thing, he was afraid that if he failed to handle it properly, he would be implicated by Lu Siming, so he quickly reported the matter.
Now that he got this result, he nodded and said, "Yes, I'll tell him right away."
The head of the department came to the office, and Lu Siming was waiting at his desk with a dejected look on his face.
The department head hesitated for a moment, then he walked over and looked at Lu Siming, and said in a disappointed tone: "Xiao Lu, it's not that I won't help you, but how could you do such a thing? You know what Zhou's Enterprise requires of its employees. Now that you have done this, I can't protect you anymore. You should go through the resignation procedures!"
