From abandoned baby to CEO

Dean Gu's voice was filled with apology: "I'm sorry, Xiao Sun. I just got out of the hospital. Professor Kramer drank too much yesterday. He woke up this morning with a headache. I rushed him to the hospital right away. His condition has just stabilized. I was so worried..."

Sun Xue had long been wary of Dean Gu and angrily questioned him:

"You know he can't drink liquor, so why did you let him drink so much? Also, do you know how worried I am? Why are both of your phones turned off? Dean Gu, what the hell are you doing?"

Dean Gu explained in a kind tone, "Xiao Sun, don't be angry. I didn't know he couldn't drink well at the time. I didn't call you because I was busy taking care of Kramer. I just found out that my phone was out of battery and turned off.

I called you right after I charged it. You said Kramer's phone was turned off? Well... I'm not really sure. Maybe it's out of battery and turned off..."

Sun Xue didn't want to listen to his excuses and retorted bluntly:

"I've been waiting for your call all day and there's been no response. I invited Kramer here. If anything happens, can you take responsibility?"

Dean Gu, who was originally kind, suddenly changed his expression and his tone became cold:

"Xiao Sun, what do you mean? I'm busy taking care of Professor Kramer, is that wrong? Didn't I tell you it's not that I don't want to call you, it's that I've been busy and have no time. Don't I worry about his health? You're just talking nonsense, and you're blaming me!"

Sun Xue was too lazy to argue with him. "Okay, I don't want to argue with you. Tell me which hospital Kramer is in, and I'll go find him right away..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a beep from the other end, indicating the phone was hung up.

"You're crazy!" Sun Xue cursed angrily.

When she called again, she found that the other party's phone was turned off.

She stamped her feet in anger.

She didn't know what had happened between Kramer and Dean Gu, and what Dean Gu had done to him. But one thing made her feel relieved: no matter what had happened, there was finally news of Kramer.

Just before she received the call from Dean Gu, she had been filled with suspicion, fearing that Kramer was connected to the car accident. Her heart was in her throat, especially after hearing the men's discussions...

She now has to question everything Dean Gu says. She must get to the bottom of the matter when she meets Kramer.

She thought about it in the car and realized that Wang Ke was right. When she met Kramer, she would tell him the truth and the next step would be to terminate the cooperation with Dean Gu.

Dean Gu is a very sinister person and she can't deal with him. If they continue to cooperate, Kramer will definitely be snatched away by him.

Just as Zhu Biao said, the three of them waited until dark before the road was unblocked.

Looking at the cars stuck on the road slowly crawling like beetles, Sun Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dean Gu didn't tell us which hospital Kramer is in. Where should we find him?" Wang Ke asked with a serious face.

"Let's talk after we get there."

Looking out the window at the pitch-black night, Sun Xue said calmly, "If it doesn't work, we'll just go to one hospital after another!"

"That guy surnamed Gu is so arrogant. He hung up on you and turned off your phone. Isn't it obvious that he is challenging you?" Zhu Biao cursed.

After nearly an hour's drive, the car finally arrived at the city where Dean Gu was.

After entering the city, just when Sun Xue didn't know where to go next, Dean Gu called again.

Dean Gu on the other end of the line said casually, "My phone just ran out of battery and turned off. I just recharged it. I'm in the hospital right now, First People's Hospital, Internal Medicine Department, Ward 208."

"understood."

Sun Xue replied unhappily.

"Okay, hanging up. I have to get busy." Dean Gu's tone was still cold.

"Go to the First People's Hospital."

"Did someone named Gu call you?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Correct."

When the three of them found the ward, Sun Xue saw Dean Gu sitting by Kramer's bed, peeling an apple, and the two of them were talking and laughing...

The moment he saw Sun Xue and others holding flowers appear at the door of the ward, the smile on Dean Gu's face immediately disappeared.

Seeing that Kramer was safe and sound, Sun Xue placed the flowers on the bedside and greeted him warmly:

"Professor Kramer, are you feeling better?"

Kramer straightened up and replied with a smile, "Much better." His eyes fell on Dean Gu's face, "Thanks to Dean Gu, he has caused him a lot of trouble."

Out of politeness, Sun Xue said symbolically, "Thank you, Dean Gu, for taking care of the professor. You've worked hard."

Dean Gu pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile on his face.

Sun Xue glanced at the ward. It was a VIP ward with a very nice environment.

"Dean Gu, you've taken care of the professor for a whole day. Go back and rest. I'll stay here with the professor."

Dean Gu said angrily, "No, I'll take care of him. I've found the best specialist in the hospital for the professor, and I'll be here to examine him myself later. I'll have to accompany him. Can you handle staying here? You guys go back to the hotel and rest. I'll take the professor home personally once he's recovered."

Sun Xue was speechless for a moment...

She had originally planned to send Dean Gu away. She got angry just looking at that gloomy face, and she didn't expect to be speechless by his questions.

Kramer didn't understand what the two were talking about, but he could sense that their expressions didn't seem friendly. He asked bewilderedly:

"Mr. Sun, what are you and Dean Gu talking about? Is it about business?"

Sun Xue smiled and replied, "Professor, I'm telling Dean Gu that he's worked hard during the day. Let him go back and have a good rest. I'll stay with you in the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Dean Gu turned to Kramer and said attentively:

"Professor, I'm not tired at all. My friend will come over to examine you later. He's the top specialist in this hospital. I'm very worried about you. I've already told my friend to give you a full physical examination so I can rest assured."

Dean Gu's flattering words made Kramer feel a little embarrassed. He was in a dilemma about who should take care of him.

Dean Gu handed the peeled apple to Kramer, his tone full of care:

"Professor, this is the best apple from China that I sent someone to select for you. It tastes great. Please try it and see if it tastes better than the apples from your country..."

Kramer took a small bite, savored it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction, "Dean Gu, your Chinese food still tastes better."

Dean Gu immediately said, "Professor, if you like it, I can mail it to you later."

Kramer seemed very happy, “Dean Gu, it’s too much trouble, no thanks, thank you, you are so enthusiastic.”

"Professor, it's an honor for me that you can come to our design institute to guide our work. What I have done is nothing at all."

Seeing Dean Gu's fawning face, Sun Xue was so angry.

"Boss Sun, please let Dean Gu stay with me tonight."

Hearing Kramer's words, Sun Xue could only force a smile and said, "Okay, okay."

Dean Gu looked very proud and said in a tone that was trying to get rid of him:

"It's getting late, so you should go back to the hotel and rest. The professor hasn't recovered yet and needs to rest."
