From abandoned baby to CEO

Cheng Fugui replied with an embarrassed smile, "Deputy Mayor Wang, I understand."

Of all people, his current situation is the most embarrassing.

He was a company boss who was quite influential in the local area, but he was unable to complete the project on schedule and had to ask other companies sent by Vice Mayor Wang for help.

What's more, the company sent was a small company that he had never looked down upon. What was even more ironic was that he couldn't refuse because he really needed help in his current situation.

The symposium ended hastily, and a few people symbolically went to the project site of Cheng Fugui Company and took a quick tour.

On the way back to the company, Sun Xue couldn't help but laugh and tease, "I never thought that Vice Mayor Wang would ask you to help Cheng Fugui. Vice Mayor Wang must have put a lot of thought into this! What do you think about this matter?"

Wang Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head. "How dare I disobey Deputy Mayor Wang's order? I can only bite the bullet and help him."

"Thank you for your hard work. Cheng Fugui must be so angry now. He knew that Mr. Li fell into the trap you set, and now he wants you to help him solve the problem. Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved!"

"Yeah, it's so dramatic. I never thought things would turn out like this."

Wang Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Actually, I didn't intend to tease Cheng Fugui at all. This was all his own fault. He was the one who had to make himself so embarrassed. If it weren't for Deputy Mayor Wang forcing me to do this, I don't think I would have ever had any work experience with Cheng Fugui in this life..."

"Deputy Mayor Wang made this arrangement out of consideration for the greater good, but it doesn't hurt us at all. On the contrary, it will enhance our reputation among our peers, which is a good thing."

Wang Ke's tone was slightly teasing, "I have to help Cheng Fugui this time and help him complete the task assigned by Deputy Mayor Wang."

Sun Xue joked, "You better be careful, he's an old fox."

"Don't worry about that. I've seen many old foxes like this."

Before the two of them arrived at the company, Cheng Fugui called, his tone full of enthusiasm:

"Mr. Wang, I've already arranged the best hotel for you. Please book a time that's convenient for you. Otherwise... I'll have the driver pick you up this afternoon..."

Wang Ke deliberately whetted Fugui's appetite and said calmly:

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng. I have work to arrange at the company. I can come over after I have arranged the work."

Cheng Fugui said very politely, "Mr. Wang, if you don't have any social engagements tonight, I'd like to invite you and Mr. Sun to have dinner together and talk about the project."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, I don't have time tonight. The TV station has arranged to do an exclusive interview with us. As you know, after the TV station reported on our company's project, the recent interview schedule is very full..."

"Oh, then I'll invite you when you're free. Then... I'll have the driver pick you up tomorrow morning. Is that okay with you? As you can see... Vice Mayor Wang is very pressing on with the project..."

Wang Ke said calmly, "I understand that, but I must arrange my work here. Let's see how things go tomorrow..."

Cheng Fugui's warm welcome was met with a cold shoulder, and his face turned black with anger. However, he dared not vent his anger no matter how big it was in his heart, so he could only say politely:

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I won't bother you for now. I'll contact you tomorrow."

Seeing Wang Ke hang up the phone, Sun Xue laughed out loud:

"Isn't Cheng Fugui so angry that he's stamping his feet right now?"

Wang Ke said calmly, "I'm going to help him, so of course I have to put on a show. I don't want to just listen to his orders. I need to put down this arrogant guy when the time is right, so he doesn't think I have to help him!"

The next morning.

Cheng Fugui called Wang Ke again.

"What's wrong, Mr. Wang?"

Cheng Fugui said sincerely, "Boss Wang, are you almost done with your work? I'll have the driver pick you up."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I still have some work to do..."

"Oh...then I'll have the driver pick you up at noon and we can have lunch together. What do you think?"

"Don't bother me, Mr. Wang. Mr. Sun and I have an appointment to eat mixed noodles at noon."

Cheng Fugui knew that Wang Ke was teasing him deliberately. He suppressed the rage burning in his heart and said in a flattering tone:

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll call you at noon..."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Fugui slammed the phone on the table with a dark face, and angrily cursed:

"Mr. Wang, don't go too far!"

When he thought of the troubles that useless Mr. Li had caused him, he wanted to tear Mr. Li into pieces to relieve his hatred.

After working in the business world for so many years, he has never had to swallow his anger like he did today.

But now, his company has been discredited because of plagiarism, and in order to complete the task, he can only beg for help from a small company, which is simply an insult to him.

Sooner or later, he will get rid of this anger!

At noon, Wang Ke received another call from Cheng Fugui.

This time, Cheng Fugui changed his strategy. He asked the driver to take him to the downstairs of Xuehua Company, and his tone was full of sincerity:

"Mr. Wang, are you done with your work? I just arrived downstairs at your office. I've already booked a hotel. I'll be waiting for you in the car. Let's have a quick meal together."

Hearing Cheng Fugui's flattering tone, Wang Ke felt that there was no need to continue to make things difficult for him, so he smiled and said:

"Boss Cheng, you are so enthusiastic that I can't refuse you."

Cheng Fugui laughed and said, "Boss Wang, it's fate that we met. Besides, I need your help on the project. Don't be polite. It's just a simple meal. I'll wait for you."

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, I'll be out right away."

"Mr. Wang, I called Ms. Sun, but no one answered her phone. Could you please tell her I'd like to have lunch with her?"

"She doesn't have time. She's a very busy woman now, giving media interviews every day. Forget it, maybe next time."

"Oh, okay, okay, next time then."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Fugui closed his eyes slightly, trying to adjust his breathing and calm his inner anger.

"Chairman, this Wang Ke is a bit too arrogant..."

The driver saw that Fugui was in a bad mood and cursed him in a flattering way.

"Have you remembered everything I told you?"

The driver quickly replied, "Chairman, I remember everything."

Cheng Fugui glared at the driver and said unhappily:

"Pay attention to your work! Don't be as stupid as a pig as Mr. Li!"
