From abandoned baby to CEO

Licheng Group.

Cheng Fugui arrived at the company early in the morning and paced back and forth in the office restlessly.

Three days ago, he received a notice that Vice Mayor Wang would come to the company to inspect the work today.

He understood that Deputy Mayor Wang was here again to call him to account.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on several newspapers on the desk, which contained extensive reports on the groundbreaking ceremony of Sun Xue's company's project.

He also watched the TV news reports. Sun Xue was dazzling in front of the camera, and the leaders attending the ceremony praised her continuously. When he thought of that scene, he felt very uncomfortable.

A month ago, the same leaders who appeared on camera were at his company's project site. Due to an unexpected incident, they all walked away with gloomy faces. The scene was very embarrassing...

He has had a hard time during this period.

Mr. Li was arrested, the company fell into a crisis of trust, the company was criticized by government departments, and Deputy Mayor Wang lost patience with him. He went to Sun Xue to discuss cooperation but was ruthlessly rejected. There was no hope for the project progress.

It seemed like everything was going very wrong.

Today, he was mentally prepared to be scolded by Vice Mayor Wang again.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Vice Mayor Wang's car arrived at the company. He went forward to greet him respectfully with a smile on his face.

Just a few seconds after Vice Mayor Wang got out of the car, two familiar figures got out of the accompanying car.

The moment he saw Sun Xue and Wang Ke get out of the car, he was completely stunned...

What's going on? Why are they here?

But he immediately smiled and greeted them warmly, "Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, welcome!"

Sun Xue smiled generously at Cheng Fugui.

Just this smile, Cheng Fugui felt like a steel needle pierced his heart, making him feel very painful...

He pretended to be calm on the surface, but when he saw Sun Xue walking beside Deputy Mayor Wang with a happy face, only he knew how he felt in his heart.

Licheng Group is indeed a large company in Quancheng City. Standing in front of Sun Xue is a very luxurious office building that looks grand and imposing.

Sun Xue thought to herself, it seems that Cheng Fugui has also benefited from the dividends of the real estate industry in recent years and made a lot of money. It would cost a lot of money to build a building like this.

Her company's office building looked very shabby next to it.

As soon as he entered the reception room, Deputy Mayor Wang came straight to the point and asked in a serious tone:

"Boss Cheng, how's the project progressing?"

Cheng Fugui could only report truthfully with a smile.

After hearing this, Vice Mayor Wang frowned and asked, "Can the project still be completed on schedule with guaranteed quality and quantity?"

Cheng Fugui was so panicked that even his voice became softer:

"should be no problem……"

Deputy Mayor Wang did not show any mercy to Cheng Fugui and asked harshly:

"Boss Cheng, what do you mean by 'should'? I'm just asking you, is it difficult to complete it on schedule?"

Deputy Mayor Wang spoke in a stern tone, and even Sun Xue, who was sitting next to her, could feel the oppressive atmosphere.

"It's a little bit difficult, but...we are doing our best to solve it."

Cheng Fugui said this, but he still had a glimmer of hope. He knew better than anyone that at the current rate of progress, the probability of completing the task on schedule was almost zero.

Deputy Mayor Wang criticized harshly, speaking in a tone of dismay:

"Boss Cheng, I'm not talking about you. Your company is a benchmark in Quancheng's construction industry. How come you can't even compare to a small company? Boss Sun's company was able to complete the same project ahead of schedule. You have to understand that her company has only been involved in the construction industry for a few years. You need to reflect on your own problems. Is it a management problem, or are you satisfied with the current situation?"

Cheng Fugui looked embarrassed, blinked a few times, and nodded hurriedly in response, "Deputy Mayor Wang, I will definitely reflect on this."

He said this, but he was not convinced at all.

He thought to himself, if Lu Group hadn't sent Wang Ke and his team to support Sun Xue, it would be a miracle for her to complete the project ahead of schedule.

Deputy Mayor Wang did not choose to completely humiliate Cheng Fugui. After all, she had blamed Cheng Fugui more than once in this matter.

She brought Sun Xue and Wang Ke here today to solve the problem.

She knew a little about Licheng Group's plagiarism of Xuehua Company's patented technology.

She knew that there was a conflict between the two sides. After all, colleagues are competitors. She also understood that Cheng Fugui had a prejudice against Sun Xue. She knew even more clearly that Cheng Fugui was an arrogant person.

But for the sake of the overall situation, she must step in to resolve this matter.

Deputy Mayor Wang turned to look at Sun Xue and Wang Ke, and his tone softened:

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Wang, the National Games project is related to the image of our Quancheng City. Xuehua Company has set a good example for us. I also mentioned in the previous meeting that all of us contractors must work together to help each other and resolutely not hold Quancheng City back..."

As soon as Deputy Mayor Wang said this, everyone present immediately understood the purpose of her visit.

Only then did Cheng Fugui understand that Deputy Mayor Wang, along with Sun Xue and Wang Ke, had come to help him.

Sun Xue immediately expressed her opinion, "Deputy Mayor Wang, I've always kept in mind what you mentioned at the last meeting. For the honor of Quancheng City, all of us contractors should work together."

But she was disdainful in her heart: She wanted to huddle together for warmth, but could she huddle together for warmth with someone like Cheng Fugui? The end result of huddle together was that she would be betrayed by him.

Deputy Mayor Wang continued, "Chengdu General Company's project has encountered technical problems. I brought you two here today to ask for your help in coming up with ideas and solutions together."

Wang Ke, who had been silent, immediately stood up and said:

"Deputy Mayor Wang, that's no problem. It's normal for projects to encounter problems during construction. Our company's project also encountered many problems during the early stages of construction. I also consulted many outstanding colleagues and later solved them one by one. I don't know what problem Mr. Cheng encountered. If our Xuehua Company can help, we will spare no effort to help Mr. Cheng."

Deputy Mayor Wang was very satisfied with Wang Ke's words, but Cheng Fugui cursed in his heart: Pretending! What a pretentious guy!

But he could only swallow his bitterness and suffer in silence.

He said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Wang, let's go to the project site later..."

The atmosphere at the scene was very subtle. Everyone knew what was going on, but everyone pretended to be very friendly.

Deputy Mayor Wang saw that the time was ripe and immediately made the decision:

"Boss Wang, during this time, please help Boss Cheng solve the problems on his project. Thank you for your hard work."

Wang Ke smiled slightly, "Deputy Mayor Wang, you're too polite. It's my duty. You just said that we should stick together to keep each other warm..."

Deputy Mayor Wang looked at Cheng Fugui, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly:

"Boss Cheng, Mr. Wang from Xuehua Company is quite influential in the construction industry. I asked him to assist you. If the project can't be completed on schedule, it will be unacceptable!"
