From abandoned baby to CEO

Deputy Mayor Wang was very surprised by Wang Ke's sudden words. Having been in the officialdom for so many years, she immediately guessed that Wang Ke was going to tell her about wealth.

She knew Cheng Fugui well. He was very capable, but his character was not very good. She had heard some negative news about him over the years.

She is in charge of the city's economy. She has seen all kinds of bosses. Sometimes she can only turn a blind eye as long as they don't bring her trouble.

Moreover, during her tenure, Cheng Fugui's Licheng Group not only solved the employment problems of many local people, but also became a major taxpayer.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, what's the matter? Tell me."

Wang Ke gathered his emotions and said:

"You sent me to help Mr. Cheng solve his problem for the greater good, and I did my best to help him. Unexpectedly... he wasn't grateful for our kindness. It's one thing to be ungrateful, but he even tried to frame us. I can accept framing me, but I know he's still upset about Mr. Li's plagiarism. But I can't figure out why he would harm you when he has no grudge against you..."

Deputy Mayor Wang was stunned. As expected, her guess was right. Wang Ke wanted to tell her about Cheng Fugui.

But she was still surprised when she heard the word "harm". She felt that the matter seemed much more serious than she had imagined, and she immediately became alert.

"Well, come to my office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and we'll sit down and talk."

"Okay, Vice Mayor Wang."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Ke was secretly delighted.

Deputy Mayor Wang didn't let him talk about this on the phone. He must have realized the seriousness of the matter from his words.

It seems that there is a chance that Cheng Fugui will be given a hard time in front of Vice Mayor Wang this time.

Wang Ke lay on the bed and began to think about how he should tell this matter to Deputy Mayor Wang tomorrow. He felt that he needed to exaggerate a little.

The next day, for the ten o'clock meeting, Wang Ke asked Zhu Biao to take him and Sun Xue to the municipal government early.

Along the way, Sun Xue complained, "Boss Wang, what's wrong with you today? The meeting is at 10 o'clock, why are you here so early?"

Wang Ke smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you get there."

Zhu Biao joked, "Xiao Sun, I guess Mr. Wang must want to get a spot for you. He should talk to Vice Mayor Wang in advance and give him a gift or something..."

Sun Xue shook her head. "Uncle, you're just guessing. First of all, Mr. Wang wouldn't do that. Besides, even if he wanted to give me a gift, not only would Vice Mayor Wang not accept it, he would even criticize and educate me harshly. I know Vice Mayor Wang well."

Wang Ke looked at Zhu Biao in astonishment. "Brother Zhu, with your comprehension, I think being a driver is a waste of your talent. You should be Mr. Sun's assistant."

Zhu Biao laughed, "Boss Wang, please don't laugh at me. I was just joking. How can I be so perceptive..."

"Brother Zhu, I'm not kidding. I've noticed that you have a lot of ideas."

Sun Xue looked confused. "Mr. Wang, are you really going to see Vice Mayor Wang?"

Wang Ke nodded. "Deputy Mayor Wang wanted to talk to me about the Cheng Group project. I haven't reported to her in person since I came back."

Zhu Biao interjected, "I don't think so. You must want to talk about other things..."

Wang Ke couldn't help but laugh, "No, Brother Zhu...why don't you think so? Is it written on my face?"

Zhu Biao said calmly, "I noticed you looked very excited when you left today. If you could negotiate a wealthy project, would you be this excited?"

Wang Ke was full of admiration, "Great! Brother Zhu, you are better at reading people's expressions than our General Manager Sun."

"I've been driving a taxi for decades. If I can't read people's expressions, how can I do business well? I'm in the service industry, and learning to read people's expressions is a basic skill."

Wang Ke agreed with Zhu Biao's point of view very much. He thought about Zhu Biao's words carefully and suddenly admired him.

It seems like a simple pick-up and drop-off job, but Zhu Biao does it meticulously.

Every time I pick him up at the hotel, I always arrive half an hour in advance. The car is spotlessly clean. When it is hot, I turn on the air conditioner in advance. As soon as he gets in the car, he will feel comfortable as if he is bathed in the spring breeze.

Every time he saw Zhu Biao, he always had a smiling face, and Zhu Biao seemed to be able to understand his thoughts. When he was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk, Zhu Biao would remain silent. When he was in a good mood and wanted to talk, Zhu Biao would chat with him endlessly.

The city government starts work at 8:30, and they arrived at 7:40.

The three of them were waiting for Vice Mayor Wang's arrival at the city government gate.

Just a few minutes later, a black sedan slowly stopped at the government gate.

The car window rolled down, and Deputy Mayor Wang smiled slightly, "Xiao Sun, Mr. Wang, you're here so early, please come in."

The three of them quickly got into the car and followed Vice Mayor Wang's car into the city government courtyard.

The car stopped, and Deputy Mayor Wang got out and looked at Wang Ke. Suddenly, he thought of something and said:

"It just so happens that you arrived early. Mr. Wang, please come to my office. I was just thinking of talking to you about Mr. Cheng's project..."

She immediately told the driver, "Take Xiao Sun and the others to the living room to rest for a while."

Wang Ke followed Deputy Mayor Wang to the office, and Sun Xue and Zhu Biao followed the driver to the reception room.

After sitting down, Wang Ke seemed a little reserved.

After all, this was his first face-to-face communication with Vice Mayor Wang.

Deputy Mayor Wang said amiably, "Let's talk about General Cheng..."

"Deputy Mayor Wang, this is what happened. That day, I went to inspect General Cheng's project for the last time. After the inspection, I discovered that there was a thick envelope in my bag. It must have contained a large amount of cash and some gold bars. General Cheng secretly put it in my bag and instructed his driver to report it after discovering it. However, I discovered it."

After Wang Ke finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Deputy Mayor Wang's expression.

He noticed that the smile on Deputy Mayor Wang's face was gone.

"Where's the stuff?"

Deputy Mayor Wang asked calmly.

"When I discovered it, the driver was on his way back to the hotel. I wanted to hand the stolen goods over to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and bring Cheng Fugui to justice. But when I thought about how Cheng Fugui's prosecution would affect his National Games project, my heart softened and I asked the driver to take the goods back. I also gave President Cheng a good scolding over the phone."

"Afterwards, I thought about it and felt that this matter was not that simple. I can understand that President Cheng wanted to retaliate against me, but he did this not just for me personally, but would also implicate you. What was his intention? Fortunately, I discovered his conspiracy in time. His style of doing things really surprised me..."

Wang Ke blurted out all the words he had been thinking about for a long time last night.

His purpose was simple, to provoke the anger of Deputy Mayor Wang.

Wang Ke discovered that after listening to what he had said, Deputy Mayor Wang did not slam the table in anger as he had imagined.

Deputy Mayor Wang shook his head helplessly. "This Mr. Cheng really disappoints me. I know about this. You can go back first."

Wang Ke stood up and walked out. Deputy Mayor Wang suddenly asked, "Mr. Wang, does anyone else know about this?"

Wang Ke immediately replied, "Deputy Mayor Wang, no one knows except me. I haven't even told Mr. Sun."

Deputy Mayor Wang nodded in satisfaction, "I understand."
