From abandoned baby to CEO

Although Wang Ke did not see the furious expression on Vice Mayor Wang's face, her words "Mr. Cheng has disappointed me so much" had already made her attitude clear.

This alone makes Wang Ke very satisfied.

He knew that Cheng Fugui's 'good days' were coming.

After Wang Ke came out of Deputy Mayor Wang’s office, he went straight to the reception room to find Sun Xue and Zhu Biao.

In the living room, the two looked very relaxed. On the table in front of them was a pot of brewed black tea and some desserts.

Zhu Biao waved to Wang Ke, and after they sat down, he warmly made Wang Ke a cup of tea, "This black tea tastes very authentic, Mr. Wang, please try it."

"I think the dessert is good too." Sun Xue savored it carefully, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Have you finished the work report?" Sun Xue asked casually.

"Yes."

"Are you satisfied with your work, Vice Mayor Wang?"

Wang Ke took a sip of black tea, a hint of excitement flashing across his eyes, "Not bad, basically satisfied."

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "Judging from your expression, you're not just basically satisfied, but probably quite satisfied..."

Wang Ke raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother Zhu, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

Zhu Biao broke off a small piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly. "I don't know whether Vice Mayor Wang is satisfied or not, but judging from your expression, you are quite satisfied."

This sentence made Wang Ke laugh.

He couldn't help but sigh: This Zhu Biao really has a sharp eye.

At around nine o'clock, the delegates began to arrive one by one.

Wang Ke spotted Cheng Fugui's fat figure in the crowd at a glance.

However, he was surprised to find that Cheng Fugui seemed to have difficulty moving. The driver and Manager Zhang were standing beside him, supporting Cheng Fugui on the left and right as he slowly moved in the crowd.

Cheng Fugui placed his hands on his waist, his expression slightly painful, and he frowned from time to time...

Wang Ke walked over and greeted him warmly:

"Boss Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Fugui was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly, "Oh, I'm old now, and I accidentally twisted my waist. It's really a headache."

Wang Ke deliberately teased, "Are you using your waist too hard? At your age, you really need to take it easy. Don't dare compete with young people..."

Cheng Fugui shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, you are really humorous. A few days ago, I slipped while going downstairs and accidentally twisted my waist."

The driver next to him kept his head down, not daring to meet Wang Ke's gaze.

"Mr. Wang, you came quite early." Manager Zhang greeted Wang Ke with an unnatural expression.

The three of them had ulterior motives, and when they saw Wang Ke, their expressions became unnatural, especially the driver and Manager Zhang, who avoided his gaze.

Wang Ke wanted to tease Cheng Fugui, but Manager Zhang immediately said:

"Mr. Wang, please go ahead and take some time off. I'll go and take a rest with the chairman."

Manager Zhang winked at the driver and immediately helped Cheng Fugui away.

Wang Ke actually believed what Cheng Fugui said. If he knew that Cheng Fugui was so angry that he wanted to take his anger out on the driver because his conspiracy was discovered by him and he accidentally fell and injured his waist, he would definitely burst into laughter.

After the meeting began, Vice Mayor Wang briefly explained the theme of the meeting and immediately got to the point:

"This is the first World Congress of Architects to be held in my country. I believe everyone is well aware of the authority of this conference. This time, our province plans to send more than a dozen corporate representatives to participate, and our city is fortunate to have been awarded two spots. I hope that the representatives our city can participate in will be the best in this industry."

Vice Mayor Wang changed the subject, "Of course, excellence is not just about the size of the company; its contribution to society and the character of its leaders are also very important."

As he spoke, Deputy Mayor Wang swept his sharp eyes across the room and said in a serious tone:

"Some of our company leaders are not focused on how to make their companies bigger and stronger, but instead are focusing on unorthodox practices. This has a very negative impact. This kind of unhealthy trend must be eradicated and will not be tolerated!"

After saying this, Deputy Mayor Wang's eyes stayed on Cheng Fugui's face for a few seconds, and he said angrily:

"A leader like that is not qualified to represent our industry at such a high-level meeting."

Vice Mayor Wang’s words immediately made the atmosphere in the meeting hall tense.

Everyone could feel her dissatisfaction.

Everyone could more or less sense that Deputy Mayor Wang's spearhead seemed to be directed at Cheng Fugui...

The fact that Licheng Group plagiarized Xuehua Company's confidential technology has long been a hot topic in the industry.

When Cheng Fugui's eyes met with Deputy Mayor Wang's, he clearly felt the dissatisfaction and anger in Deputy Mayor Wang's eyes.

Half of the confidence he had before coming here disappeared in an instant.

He realized that whether his company could get this opportunity was uncertain.

He even felt that what Vice Mayor Wang said angrily was specifically for him.

Next, representatives from each company will give their speeches.

When it was Cheng Fugui's turn to speak, he changed his previous arrogant and confident attitude and became much more sincere.

Cheng Fugui prepared his speech for the meeting very well. He elaborated in detail on the series of achievements made by Licheng Group over the years, including how many jobs it has created for Quancheng City, its tax situation, and the company's current development and future plans.

It has to be said that these performance data of Licheng Group have left other companies far behind, and his company is still the benchmark in this industry.

After Cheng Fugui finished his speech, Vice Mayor Wang made a meaningful comment:

"Mr. Cheng, you have to work harder. You can't just rest on your laurels. If you don't work harder, the new generation of young entrepreneurs will soon surpass you..."

Cheng Fugui smiled and nodded vigorously, "I understand."

Of course, she knew who the young entrepreneurs Vice Mayor Wang was referring to. Among all the dozen or so entrepreneur representatives attending the meeting, only Sun Xue was a young entrepreneur.

Hearing this, Wang Ke was overjoyed.

He became more and more confident that he could get this opportunity.

Sun Xue's subsequent speech was not very impressive. Her company had only been in this industry for a few years and could not produce as amazing company performance as Cheng Fugui.

However, when Sun Xue was speaking, Deputy Mayor Wang looked focused, nodded from time to time, and occasionally a smile could be seen at the corner of her mouth.

"Xiao Sun, you performed very well in this National Games and did not bring shame to our city of Quanzhou. But you must not be complacent. You must keep working hard and strive for even greater achievements."

Deputy Mayor Wang's expectant and warm encouragement made Sun Xue feel warm in her heart.

"Thank you, Vice Mayor Wang, for your encouragement."
