From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue's heart sank when she heard Kramer's words.

She didn't expect that before she had the chance to say anything, the professor would question her first.

The professor's tone was filled with extreme dissatisfaction.

Sun Xue could only put on a smile and said, "Professor, please listen to my explanation. I admit that I lied to you at that time, but that was also because I admired and respected you personally and longed for the opportunity to cooperate with you long-term, so I lied..."

"Mr. Sun, I trust you very much. I gave you two opportunities to cooperate with me before I even inspected your company. Is that true?"

Sun Xue took a deep breath and nodded:

"Yes."

"And you, where is your trust in me?"

Sun Xue tried to explain, "Professor, you misunderstood... Things are not what you think..."

Kramer refused to listen to her explanation. "I understand you lied to me before, but I'm here to inspect your company, and you're still lying to me. How long are you going to keep this a secret? Business requires integrity and mutual trust. How can we talk about long-term cooperation if you keep doing this?"

Sun Xue bowed her head and admitted her mistake sincerely, "Professor, I did something wrong. I hope you can forgive me. I will reflect on it and I hope you can give me another chance."

She didn't expect Kramer to react so strongly to this.

Before, she thought that if she took the initiative to clarify the truth and apologized sincerely, she would definitely win Kramer's forgiveness.

Now it seems that things are more serious than she expected...

Dean Gu must have exaggerated and said bad things about her in front of the professor.

Dean Gu, standing by, had an expression of gloating, enjoying the fun. He walked over to Kramer with a smile and said kindly,

"Professor, you haven't fully recovered yet, so don't get too emotional. Just... calm down."

Kramer was emotional. "How can I not be angry about this? I can't tolerate her deception!"

Dean Gu's eyes were filled with care. "Alright, Professor, why are you so angry? It's not worth it to get sick from anger. The experts told me to rest and stay cheerful. Let's not talk about business..."

He immediately turned around, and the moment his eyes met Sun Xue's, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he frowned and criticized Sun Xue fiercely:

"Xiao Sun, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you don't care about the professor's health at all! You knew he wasn't in good health, yet you still tried to piss him off. He flew over thousands of kilometers from across the ocean just for you, and you don't care at all! How can you not disappoint the professor? How can he continue to work with you?"

Sun Xue was so angry that she angrily replied:

"Dean Gu, what qualifications do you have to lecture me here? Don't you know what you've done? Stop pretending to be a good person here."

Dean Gu turned to Kramer with a look of grievance and complained to him:

"Professor, look at her. She immediately gets upset when I criticize her. Am I wrong? You're here to give her a chance, but she doesn't care about your health at all. She even told me yesterday that she wants you discharged immediately. She just wants you to be discharged and sign a cooperation agreement with her!"

Dean Gu shook his head with disdain and said, "I really don't know what the young people nowadays are thinking. They only think about naked profit and don't even have basic human feelings..."

Sun Xue was so angry that she was speechless. She certainly wouldn't let Dean Gu bully her like this. She said in a cold voice, "Dean Gu, please don't stay here..."

Kramer immediately interrupted Sun Xue and got angry, "Is this going to end? If you want to argue, go outside!"

Sun Xue froze in place for a moment.

"Professor, please calm down..." Dean Gu hurriedly comforted.

He stood up and waved his hand impatiently at Sun Xue, "You all go back, the professor needs some quiet time. No matter how important the matter is, we have to wait until the professor recovers before discussing it!"

Wang Ke winked at Sun Xue and told her to leave quickly.

Sun Xue suppressed her anger, came to Kramer's bedside, and said apologetically:

"Professor, I'm sorry to bother you. Please take good care of yourself. I'll come pick you up when you're well."

Kramer closed his eyes slightly and didn't respond, but the anger on his face had not subsided.

Sun Xue was ultimately no match for Dean Gu and left in frustration.

When she came down from the inpatient department, her brows were furrowed and her face was ashen with anger.

"Mr. Sun, why are you arguing with Dean Gu in front of Kramer?"

Sun Xue said angrily, "Look at his face. He has his own evil intentions, and he's adding fuel to the fire. He's hypocritically lecturing me in front of the professor. I'm definitely going to fight back!"

Wang Ke shook his head. "Dean Gu is a big shot in Kramer's eyes right now. The professor will believe whatever he says. He's just trying to provoke you. Arguing with him is exactly what he wants. It will only make Kramer even more disappointed in you."

Sun Xue was furious. "So am I just going to swallow my anger and let him confuse right and wrong, and let him add fuel to the fire?"

"Boss Sun, you're too straightforward. We absolutely cannot let Dean Gu succeed in his scheme, but we must remain calm and not let him lead us by the nose. This requires a long-term plan. I've already said that we're no match for his scheming!"

Sun Xue angrily kicked the edge of the garden, "Even if I lose this opportunity, I can't let him succeed!"

Wang Ke smiled. "Alright, you're just punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes when you get angry. You're pissing yourself off, but he's secretly enjoying himself in the ward right now. Let's go back to the hotel and discuss how to deal with him."

Ward.

After Sun Xue left, Dean Gu patiently "enlightened" Kramer:

"Professor, why bother arguing with Ms. Sun? The experts have told me many times that you must stay cheerful. Ms. Sun is just a technical secondary school student with no education. To put it bluntly, she's just a nouveau riche."

Kramer was stunned. "A technical secondary school student? Didn't she study on exchange at Cambridge University for a year?"

Dean Gu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you believe what she said? She bought that study place with money. To put it bluntly, she just wanted to gild her reputation. Even her company's stadium project was obtained through various means. I heard that she gave city leaders several million in cash to win the project. Just think about it, her small company doesn't even have a design institute. How could she compete for such a project? Her company's designer, Mr. Wang, was also poached from another company by her at a huge expense..."

Kramer was shocked. "So this is how she does business! I almost got scammed by her!"
