From abandoned baby to CEO

The next morning, Zhu Biao drove Sun Xue and Wang Ke to the municipal government for a meeting.

There were a total of six companies participating in the meeting. Sun Xue was surprised to find that, except for her company, the other five companies were well-known companies in various industries in Quancheng City.

She also discovered that she was the youngest among the entrepreneur representatives.

Vice Mayor Wang presided over the meeting.

She first affirmed the outstanding performance and achievements of the six companies in facing the financial crisis over the past year, and hoped that they would continue to work hard and set an example for enterprises in Quancheng City.

She then introduced the development of each company one by one. When she came to Sun Xue's company, she solemnly introduced:

"Xuehua Construction is a company that has grown rapidly in Quancheng City in recent years. Chairman Sun Xue is a young but very promising entrepreneur and an outstanding representative of the new generation of entrepreneurs in Quancheng City. Her company's projects cover real estate, culture, film and television, and education.

Her company's real estate projects include not only high-end villas currently under construction but also the completed National Games stadium project, all of which are key projects in our city. Facing the financial crisis, she overcame numerous difficulties and, despite extremely tight funding, successfully completed the National Games project.

After Deputy Mayor Wang finished his introduction, everyone's eyes focused on Sun Xue.

The other five entrepreneur representatives attending the meeting today were very interested in Sun Xue.

After all, Sun Xue herself and her Xuehua Construction are new faces, and what we know about her comes mostly from recent TV news and newspapers.

Next, each representative introduced the development status of their respective companies. After listening to the introductions of other representatives, Sun Xue opened her mouth in surprise.

Each of them is very strong, with annual output value often reaching tens or even hundreds of billions, and they are all leaders in their respective industries.

When I compare myself with them, the gap is huge.

When it was her turn to introduce herself, she suddenly became nervous:

"After listening to the introductions from all the seniors, I feel ashamed. My company is just a small and insignificant one..."

Sun Xue looked at everyone and spoke unconfidently.

Deputy Mayor Wang sensed Sun Xue's lack of confidence and jokingly encouraged her:

"Xiao Sun, you don't have to be so modest. You've done an excellent job. Remember, your company has only been around for a few years, and you're still so young. It's no small feat to have achieved what you've achieved today. You should have more confidence than any of the outstanding entrepreneurs here!"

As soon as Vice Mayor Wang finished speaking, everyone applauded Sun Xue.

Sun Xue looked at Vice Mayor Wang with gratitude. Vice Mayor Wang smiled at her, his eyes full of encouragement and appreciation.

This look instantly boosted her confidence. She was no longer nervous and immediately got into the groove, confidently introducing the company's various business developments...

"Thank you, Vice Mayor Wang, for your encouragement, and thank you, seniors, for your encouragement. I firmly believe that in the days to come, I will always keep my original aspirations and contribute to the economic development of our Quancheng City." Sun Xue ended her speech confidently.

Several business representatives present applauded Sun Xue's speech.

"Mr. Sun, you are very outstanding. Just like Vice Mayor Wang said, you are still young. In the future, the long-term economic development of Quancheng City will rely on young entrepreneurs like you."

"Mr. Sun, I know you from a TV show. You were the first contractor to complete the project with high quality among so many contractors. In my opinion, you are quite outstanding."

"I also know Mr. Sun from a TV program. When I first saw the National Games stadium built by your company, I was really shocked. I didn't expect that our Quancheng City would have such a beautiful stadium. It really brings honor to our city!"

The praises continued, but what Sun Xue didn't expect was that all five entrepreneur representatives knew her from the TV screen.

Deputy Mayor Wang joked, "Xiao Sun, you see, you're now more famous than the five entrepreneurs here. I guess many Quancheng citizens know you because of your stadium project. Shouldn't you have more confidence than everyone here?"

Sun Xue smiled sheepishly and replied, "These five outstanding entrepreneurs are my predecessors and role models for me to learn from."

Before the meeting ended, Vice Mayor Wang said, "Tomorrow we're going to the provincial capital to attend a meeting. We need to select two business representatives to speak at the meeting. I've thought about it and decided that Mr. Zhang and Xiao Sun will speak."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Vice Mayor Wang's decision...

Mr. Zhang is the CEO of a large listed company engaged in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also a very well-known company in this field in China. It is undisputed to choose him as the representative to speak.

However, Sun Xue and her company were not well-known in Quancheng City. They were just a small, unknown company. Choosing her as a representative to speak did not seem to be very convincing.

Deputy Mayor Wang smiled and asked, "Does anyone have any opinions?"

When Sun Xue heard Vice Mayor Wang say her name, she was also stunned...

She could never have imagined that Vice Mayor Wang would choose her to speak as a representative. In terms of company strength and influence, the other four representatives were definitely more powerful than hers. How could it not be her turn?

"agree."

"agree."

Several other representatives answered with a smile.

Deputy Mayor Wang smiled, glanced at everyone's faces, and said:

"I made this decision because, in my opinion, Mr. Zhang represents the older generation of outstanding entrepreneurs in Quancheng, while Xiao Sun represents the new generation of outstanding entrepreneurs. They are also an important component of the future economic development of Quancheng."

There was immediate applause in the conference room.

Maybe some people still have doubts, but they have to admit that Sun Xue is indeed an outstanding representative of young entrepreneurs in Quancheng City.

Deputy Mayor Wang’s words once again moved Sun Xue.

She clapped her hands vigorously, and her applause showed her gratitude to Vice Mayor Wang. At the same time, it was also for herself. She hoped that she would work hard and live up to Vice Mayor Wang's painstaking efforts.

After the meeting, Wang Ke said with envy:

"Mr. Sun, it seems that whether a person can achieve something, in addition to his own efforts, he also needs the help of noble people."

Sun Xue understood the deep meaning of Wang Ke's words. She knew very well that anyone present could feel the partiality of Deputy Mayor Wang towards her if they paid a little attention.

Sun Xue smiled and said, "Are you trying to say that my benefactor is Vice Mayor Wang?"

Wang Ke nodded and said, "Yes, you are so lucky!"

Sun Xue said seriously, "Deputy Mayor Wang is not the only benefactor to me. In fact, you are also my benefactor."

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
