Everyone was stunned at these words.
That was correct indeed. How was he going to get married under such circumstances?
He could not get married.
But he could not not get married!
Either way things wouldn’t work.
At this thought, the shareholders started to look devastated.
When everyone had finally quietened down, Lu Nanze spoke up calmly, “The wedding has to take place. Only a wedding will make things look like they are going on a right path and ease the company’s situation.
Someone retorted at this point, “But Qiao Yiyi is in jail!”
“Who said that Qiao Yiyi is in jail?”
Everyone’s expression changed at this remark. “What do you mean?”
Was he going to break into the jail to get her out?
The moment he said this, Lu Nanze signaled to the secretary.
She took a step forward and said, “According to the statistics, there are currently 255 people with the name Qiao Yiyi in Suzhou. 56 of them are between the ages of 18 and 25.”
They looked at him puzzled, not knowing where this was going. Then Lu Nanze ordered, “Get in touch with them at once and see if any of them would be willing to marry me.”
“Yes.”
Suddenly, everyone saw the light.
Indeed!
The news report had only mentioned that Lu Nanze was going to marry Qiao Yiyi, but the identity of this Qiao Yiyi had not been clearly indicated. But since that Qiao Yiyi was Qiao Zhigang’s daughter and she had gotten involved with Lu Nanze, everyone would have just assumed that it was that Qiao Yiyi.
They would find another Qiao Yiyi.
This was a brilliant idea!
However…
The next moment, someone stood up, sighed and said, “Nanze, I have been working for your father for a long time. Your father’s greatest hope when he was alive was that you’d get married and have a child. If you look just for any woman so casually, it would be troublesome to get a divorce in the future.”
Lu Nanze cast his gaze down.
After a moment, he slowly said, “Uncle, it’s ok. After getting married, I won’t be looking to get a divorce.”
He was sure he would never love another woman in his lifetime.
Hence he would just marry any woman, spend his life with her and that would suffice.
He lowered his head and told the secretary, “The woman has to be obedient, first and foremost.”
The secretary was speechless.
“Oh, right, and find a pretty one. At least a decorative piece that is pleasing to the eye.”
The secretary was speechless.
As was everyone else.
Lu Nanze got to his feet, his big and tall frame heading towards the doorway now as he said, “Gentlemen, I hope today’s board meeting has been satisfactory. Please feel free to carry on with your business.”
After these words, he walked out of the meeting room.
But as he turned to walk away, he was a picture of loneliness.
–
When Qiao Lian received the news that Lu Nanze was getting married, she was shocked and almost collapsed.
She almost jumped up and down in anger, exclaiming, “How could this be? How could this be?!”
Shen Liangchuan asked coldly, “Why not?”
“Qiao Yiyi is in jail! How could a person like her be good enough for Second Brother? Besides, she ran the car into Second Brother’s father and killed the man! That’s too humiliating for Second Brother, even if it is for the sake of the company.”
“Is that painful for you?”
Qiao Lian sighed and said, “I’m only thinking that it’s unfair, why does he have to bow down in this situation?”
The adorably silly girl still had not realized that the man was getting increasingly jealous.
Anxiously, she picked up her cell phone, walked to the side of the room and said, “No, I have to call Second Brother and persuade him. Getting married is not a game.”
