Chinese CEO Fires Employee for Leaving Mother Out of Wedding Over Her Looks Then Hires Her at His Company

Chinese CEO Cui Peijun fired an employee after learning he had deliberately left his mother off the wedding guest list because he was embarrassed by her appearance. The woman had raised him on her own after his father died when he was just two years old. Cui, who attended the wedding, condemned the employee's actions and refused to reverse the dismissal despite repeated pleas. He later hired the employee's mother at his company, matching her previous salary to help secure her financial independence.
