From abandoned baby to CEO

Wang Ke hung up the phone angrily. "Did these two do this on purpose? They must have colluded with Dean Gu in advance!"

Sun Xue was extremely anxious.

Dean Gu and Kramer's phones were turned off, and the only person who could be contacted said he was busy, and there was a traffic accident ahead.

Just then, Liu Bin called.

Liu Bin on the other end of the phone said anxiously, "Sun Xue, are you okay? I saw a news report that there was a serious car accident on the highway you were passing through..."

"It's okay, we're just stuck in traffic."

Liu Bin's tone was much more relaxed as he earnestly reminded her, "That's good, that's good. Try to drive slowly on the road and be sure to pay attention to safety."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue was upset, and a bad premonition quietly came over her heart...

She felt that time was passing so slowly. She couldn't help but look at her watch every once in a while. Every minute of waiting seemed long and torturous.

What she's most worried about now is Kramer's personal safety. Unable to contact him, all sorts of bad assumptions inevitably arise in her mind...

"Hope Kramer is safe!"

She prayed silently in her mind.

In agony, another three hours passed, but the car in front showed no sign of moving.

Sun Xue looked out the window anxiously. Zhu Biao was leaning on the chair and had fallen asleep, snoring evenly and rhythmically.

Wang Ke, sitting in the back seat, was bored and scrolling through his phone. The atmosphere in the car was dull and depressing.

At this moment, Wang Ke suddenly stood up, staring at the phone screen and muttering to himself:

"Boss Sun...something happened..."

Sun Xue was frightened by Wang Ke's words. She quickly looked away and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Wang Ke leaned forward and handed her the phone. "See for yourself how these reporters report this."

Sun Xue took the phone, looked at the title, and immediately became upset.

"A world-renowned architectural design master visited our provincial design institute for the first time. The inspection was successfully concluded and a long-term cooperation agreement was pre-signed." The eye-catching news headline caught her eye.

She continued reading, and the content of the news was roughly: At the invitation of Dean Gu, the Kramer team visited the design institute, gave it high praise, and reached a cooperation agreement, and will have long-term cooperation with the design institute in the future.

The news report also included several photos, but they were all photos of Dean Gu and Kramer. In the photos, Dean Gu was smiling brightly...”

"These reporters are distorting the facts. Even if they wanted to cooperate, Kramer signed a contract with our company. We must make it clear that Dean Gu's design institute is just a partner of our company."

Sun Xue returned the phone to Wang Ke and said angrily.

"Mr. Sun, these reporters were hired by President Gu. Since they're reporting this way, they must be doing it on his orders. In my opinion, they do this for two reasons: one is to let Kramer know you lied to him, and the other is to prove that his design institute is so powerful that they can snatch Kramer away from you!"

Sun Xue gnashed her teeth in anger, "This Dean Gu is too insidious!"

Wang Ke said helplessly, "Business competition is so cruel. If you are not careful, you will fall into someone else's carefully designed trap. Now, we have fallen into Dean Gu's trap..."

He continued his analysis, "Based on my understanding of foreigners, they are very principled in doing business. If Kramer knew you cheated him, he would be very angry, and the good impression you left on him would be gone. If..."

Wang Ke smiled bitterly. "If Dean Gu continues to say bad things about you in front of Kramer, you can probably imagine the consequences, right? Honestly, getting the chance to work with Kramer was pure luck and a fluke. A world-class design master like him, there's probably a long line of people in China who want to work with him..."

Sun Xue is becoming increasingly unsure...

"What are you two talking about? Is the road open?"

Zhu Biao suddenly woke up from his sleep and asked with a confused look on his face.

"It's okay, uncle, sorry for waking you."

Zhu Biao rubbed his eyes, stretched himself, and asked sleepily:

"Have you contacted the man surnamed Gu?"

Sun Xue shook her head, "Not yet."

"That bastard, what on earth is he up to? Okay, you two take a nap. I'll get off the car and investigate the situation. If the traffic jam continues like this, we won't even have dinner..."

Zhu Biao came back less than half an hour after getting off the bus, holding two bags of bread and three apples in his arms, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Let's just wait patiently. I've already prepared dinner. It was delivered by kind people. They said the road might not be open until dark..."

Zhu Biao stuffed a bag of bread into Sun Xue's arms and turned to ask Wang Ke in the back seat:

"Mr. Wang, would you like bread or an apple?"

"An apple, then."

Zhu Biao picked the biggest one and handed it to Wang Ke, then he opened the bread and started eating it with relish.

After taking a few bites, he turned to look at Sun Xue in confusion, "Xiao Sun, why aren't you eating? Hurry up and fill your stomach first. What's the point of worrying? Don't let your small body collapse. Just let everything take its course. There's no point in worrying."

Sun Xue had no appetite at all, so she immediately called Pei Shaojie and told him that she might not be able to return before dark, and asked him to arrange dinner for Judy, Teacher Xu and others.

Zhu Biao ate half a bag of bread and an apple, then dozed off again in his chair. Sun Xue turned to look at Wang Ke and discovered that he had also fallen asleep without her noticing.

She was very upset, so she quietly opened the car door and tiptoed out.

She felt depressed staying in the car and wanted to go outside to breathe some fresh air.

Many people got off the bus and it was quite lively outside.

Some people sat together playing cards, eating snacks, smoking, and everyone was talking and laughing and chatting leisurely.

Not far from Sun Xue, several men were gossiping about the traffic accident. Their conversations drifted clearly into her ears:

"I heard that more than ten people were injured in this accident. The cause was drunk driving. A car's rear end was hit and a big dent was created. I'm afraid the people in that car are in danger of survival..."

"Oh, by the way, I heard there was a foreigner among the injured. His leg might have been stuck in the seat, and he was screaming in pain in the car..."

Someone immediately joked, "It's just that foreigners have long legs..."

When Sun Xue heard the word "foreigner", she was so scared that the hairs on her body stood up.

She walked over quickly and asked the man who was speaking, "Hello, I'd like to know what the foreign man you just mentioned looks like? How old is he?"

The man shook his head indifferently. "I heard it from my friend. His car was stuck near the accident scene."

Just then, Sun Xue's cell phone rang. She glanced at the number and found that it was Dean Gu calling.

She couldn't wait to press the answer button, "Dean Gu, where are you? Is Professor Kramer okay?"
