From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue herself did not expect that it was this participation in the conference that brought a new turning point in her career. Her company's business not only successfully went beyond Quancheng City, but also went abroad.

This far exceeded her expectations, not just a little bit, but a lot.

If the development of her company was like a car running on the highway before, now it is like a high-speed train speeding along.

All this happened like a butterfly effect.

If she hadn't successfully bid for the National Games project, her subsequent project wouldn't have been a huge success, and she certainly wouldn't have had the opportunity to attend the World Architects Congress. If she hadn't fought hard to get a chance to ask a question on the last day, she wouldn't have caught Kramer's attention, and she wouldn't have had the subsequent series of opportunities...

Whether it was the initial bidding for the project or the subsequent attention she attracted from the world's biggest names, all of this stemmed from her strong determination to never give up until the very last moment.

No matter how unfavorable the situation was for her and how small the chances of winning were.

Even though everyone was not optimistic about her, she never thought of giving up.

It turns out that her strong belief in never giving up often rewards her with huge surprises in the end.

It was precisely because of this five-day study that a new window was opened for her.

Before attending the meeting, her understanding of real estate was limited to building luxurious houses and beautiful stadiums.

The five-day conference completely overturned her cognition. Good looks are only the most basic requirement. It is also necessary to take into account many factors such as green, technology, intelligence, environmental protection, humanities, society, and aesthetics.

She also became the only representative in this delegation who brought business to the company at such a high-level meeting.

The key is that such business is carried out in collaboration with architectural firms owned by world-renowned architects.

Even the top domestic construction companies and design institutes are drooling over such a good thing.

Sun Xue only remembered that on the plane returning from the meeting, she instantly became the object of talk and envy of all the representatives.

Even Sun Lei, who was sitting next to her, gave her a thumbs up with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Sun Lei told her that his company was so large, but he had never had the opportunity to do business with a master like Kramer in all these years.

The relevant provincial leaders were full of praise for her.

Director Gu of the Provincial Architectural Design Institute treated Sun Xue and Wang Ke as treasures. After returning to Quancheng City, Director Gu invited the two to dinner, hoping that Sun Xue could sign a long-term cooperation agreement with the design institute.

Sun Xue did not sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Dean Gu, but only agreed to cooperate with the design institute temporarily.

She knew that Dean Gu was attracted by her resources. She was also very clear that her company was small and unknown, and currently she had to rely on the reputation of the design institute to negotiate more projects.

Of course, the person Sun Xue is most grateful to is Wang Ke.

If it weren't for Wang Ke, who had excellent business skills, she wouldn't be able to catch it even if the wealth from the sky fell on her.

Kramer's recommendation of the winning bid for the Hangzhou Sports Park project in a first-tier city gave the two great confidence.

They realized that they had to set up their own design institute immediately.

The cooperation with the provincial design institute can only be temporary, just for the purpose of negotiating project needs. There will be more projects requiring cooperation in the future, and she does not want to always rely on other people's design institutes.

She has the need and ability to set up her own design institute.

After returning from Hangzhou, they began to plan the design institute in full swing.

What Sun Xue didn't know was that her life had quietly taken a turn for the worse from this moment on.

The day after returning from the Kyoto World Architects Conference, the provincial government held a sharing meeting for the participants.

Hundreds of large and small construction companies across the province gathered in the provincial capital, and more than a dozen representatives from construction companies who attended the meeting shared their experiences one by one.

Sun Xue was deservedly selected as the representative of the participants and gave a one-hour speech.

It was her first time speaking in front of so many colleagues, and she had mixed feelings.

Just a few years ago, she was a small developer whose company was struggling.

The partner absconded with the funds, leaving the company on the brink of life and death.

Unable to pay suppliers and workers' wages, suppliers came to her house to make trouble, splashed paint on her door, threatened her and her family, and forced her to repay the debt.

In order to deal with these people, she said all the nice things she could and even pretended to be dead to avoid the debt collection from suppliers.

She clearly remembers that at that time, she could only rely on royalties and borrowing money from relatives and friends to maintain the development of her business.

During the most difficult times, the family couldn't even afford to buy meat. Everyone was struggling to raise money, and the house was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Even though everyone thought she couldn't make it, she never gave up and firmly believed that one day she would be able to regain her strength.

Today, she has not only realized her ambitions back then, but can also speak freely in front of so many colleagues.

Even she herself did not expect all this.

In the guest seats below the stage were leaders of relevant industries in the province, and of course, her benefactor, Vice Mayor Wang.

Seeing Deputy Mayor Wang's friendly smile and proud and satisfied eyes, Sun Xue's vision blurred.

Along the way, she met so many noble people, and Deputy Mayor Wang was the most important one.

However, the expressions of hundreds of colleagues in the audience were very complicated.

Admiration, envy, disdain, questioning...

Seeing this, Sun Xue seemed very calm.

Of course, luck played a role in her being able to stand on the stage today, but it was more due to her hard work. She deserves to enjoy the joy that success brings.

In the most difficult times, she could only cheer herself up by clenching her fists. After she succeeded, she had no reason not to be proud of herself.

She saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Cheng Fugui was sitting in the last row with a complicated expression.

The moment their eyes met, Cheng Fugui deliberately dodged.

At this moment, he was filled with shock and regret.

She didn't expect that Sun Xue, who was not in his eyes a year ago, could now speak at such an occasion, shining like a star.

He felt even more regretful because he had lost more than he gained and had ruined the bright future that originally belonged to him with his own hands.

......

Just half a month after Sun Xue and Wang Ke returned from Hangzhou, she received a call from Professor Kramer himself.

"Sun Xue, my team and I will fly to China next Monday to discuss future project collaboration."

"Professor Kramer, that's great! We warmly welcome you and your team to China."

"An important guest is coming with us. Can you guess who it is?"

Sun Xue blurted out, "Judy?"

Kramer smiled. "Yes, half an hour ago, I just convinced her to come with us on this trip to China."
