From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue then said to the supplier:

"The company's projects are underway, and they're absolutely guaranteed. The government is also strongly supporting them. If Xuehua Group were to go bankrupt as the rumors say, would I, Sun Xue, still be standing here? Would I still need to speak my heart out to you all this? Would I still need to have President Wang bring these people from authoritative organizations here to put on a show?"

Sun Xue walked up to a steel supplier and said softly:

"Mr. Liu, we've been working together for many years, and it's been a very pleasant experience. Several suppliers recently withdrew, but you chose to stay. I'm deeply touched by your trust in me. I know those people were instructed to destroy my company. They violated the contract and withdrew midway. I will take legal action to defend my rights."

Mr. Liu's tone softened noticeably. "Mr. Sun, I think you're a good person, so I'll choose to cooperate with you."

"Mr. Liu, can you honestly tell me that after all these years of cooperation, have I ever owed you a penny for goods? Even when our Xuehua Company was in the most difficult time, I would do everything I could to settle all the debts owed to your suppliers.

I, Sun Xue, have we ever failed to abide by the contract at Xuehua Company? These rumors are clearly intentional. Their goal is to ruin our project and make everyone laugh at our company.

If we go bankrupt, will you get your money back immediately? The project has been left unfinished, becoming a laughing stock and affecting the entire National Games. Who do you think will ultimately bear the responsibility? Is it our Xuehua Company, or those rumormongers?

When several other suppliers and subcontractors heard this, someone immediately said:

"Mr. Sun, we're not here to cause you any trouble. The overwhelming negative news has left us feeling uneasy..."

"I understand your feelings. After all, no one's money comes from the wind. I've said before that this incident was deliberately fabricated. At this critical moment, Xuehua Company needs your support. If you are willing to trust me and stand by the company through thick and thin, our company will be grateful. If you insist on leaving..."

Sun Xue paused, and Li Qian placed the legal documents on the table at the right moment. Sun Xue continued in a serious tone:

"Unilaterally terminating a contract requires payment of every penny in liquidated damages, and the company must bear every legal consequence. Don't think those suppliers who unilaterally terminated contracts before can get away with it. I've hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit against them. I'm sure everyone is clear about the severity of this, and I hope you'll reconsider!"

Sun Xue spoke sincerely, neither servile nor overbearing, and analyzed all the interests involved clearly for everyone.

She noticed that the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

When these people first arrived, their faces were full of resentment and dissatisfaction. Now, they began to whisper to each other, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Mr. Sun, I believe in you and am willing to continue cooperating with you."

Mr. Liu was the first to speak out.

Sun Xue smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your trust in me and the company."

She looked at the others who were still hesitating with a determined look, "What about you? What are your plans?"

"Mr. Sun, I'm willing too."

"I am willing to continue cooperating with you."

......

Sun Xue finally let go of her anxious heart.

"Thank you for your trust and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

After dealing with matters with suppliers and subcontractors, Sun Xue did not dare to stop for a moment and immediately rushed to the city government.

She made an appointment to meet with Vice Mayor Wang.

Office of Vice Mayor Wang.

As soon as Sun Xue entered the office, she felt that the atmosphere was a little off.

Normally, whenever she met with Vice Mayor Wang, he was always in a friendly mood, but this time, he frowned.

Deputy Mayor Wang has been very busy recently, especially with the National Games. Any disturbance will make her nervous.

"Xiao Sun, your company's incident has caused a huge uproar and has had a very negative social impact. Even the city's Party committee leaders are asking about it. What exactly happened?"

Deputy Mayor Wang's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Deputy Mayor Wang, these are all rumors. Someone is deliberately framing my company."

"Rumors? Your workers collectively besieged the public security officers who came to investigate the incident. Is that also a rumor?"

Sun Xue replied in a low voice, "This is not a rumor, this is my mismanagement..."

Deputy Mayor Wang frowned and criticized harshly:

"Xiao Sun, I'm supporting you under tremendous pressure. There were already many doubts about your winning the National Games event, and now your company has been hit by negative news like this. How can I trust you?"

Sun Xue did not argue, she understood Deputy Mayor Wang's difficulties.

She handed a document she had prepared to Deputy Mayor Wang.

The document contained positive feedback from an authoritative agency regarding the project's quality, along with a series of technical measures she and her team had taken to meet deadlines, the results of her negotiations with suppliers, and a series of measures she had taken to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Looking at the document, Vice Mayor Wang's frown gradually relaxed...

Sun Xue quickly said, "Deputy Mayor Wang, our Xuehua Company is proving with actions and facts that we have the ability and determination to complete this glorious and arduous task entrusted to us by the government.

Quality inspections are open and transparent. We use high-quality standards to dispel rumors, and we use sincerity and integrity to stabilize suppliers and workers."

Deputy Mayor Wang put down the documents in his hand, glanced at Sun Xue, who had a resolute face, and nodded.

"I know that in the current economic environment, you business owners are under a lot of pressure."

"Thank you, Vice Mayor Wang, for your understanding. No matter how much pressure there is, I am confident that I can successfully complete the task. However..."

Sun Xue changed the subject and said, "If this evil wind is not stopped, it will spread like a plague, destroying even the strongest fortress. The company needs time, and the project needs a stable environment."

Deputy Mayor Wang didn't say anything, but nodded as if he understood something.

Sun Xue seized the opportunity and pressed on, "Deputy Mayor Wang, I have a small request..."

"Oh, what's your request? Tell me."

"I implore the government and the National Games Organizing Committee to speak up for organizing units like us. There's no need for any favoritism. They just need to clarify the facts, prove the progress and quality of the project, and recognize the hard work of all the builders. This will reassure people and deter those who act recklessly. This will also ensure the smooth running of the National Games."

Sun Xue's statement is sincere and powerful. It is not just empty talk, but is supported by strong facts.

Looking at the determined young entrepreneur in front of him and thinking of her outstanding performance during the financial crisis, the balance in Vice Mayor Wang's heart began to tilt...
