From abandoned baby to CEO

When Kramer, accompanied by Judy and Teacher Xu, entered the birthday party, what caught Kramer's eyes were dozens of smiling faces and the carefully decorated venue.

Kramer's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Wow, Professor, that's beautiful!"

Judy, who was standing next to Professor Kramer, couldn't help but sigh.

She was really surprised. This was her first time attending a birthday party in China. It was completely different from the ones in her country. The huge banquet hall was filled with joy and festivity.

To be honest, she really liked this arrangement. She didn't expect that Sun Xue's care far exceeded her expectations.

"Yes, Judy, it's really beautiful."

Kramer watched the scene and agreed with a smile.

Wang Ke, dressed in formal attire, walked onto the stage with confidence and said in a rich voice, "Welcome to our birthday boy, Professor Kramer!"

Amidst the warm applause from the crowd, Kramer slowly walked onto the stage with a smile on his face. He smiled happily and thanked everyone in broken Chinese, "Thank you, thank you!"

"Happy Birthday, Professor Kramer!"

Dozens of enthusiastic faces looked at Kramer and shouted this sentence in unison.

Kramer stood there in a daze, his eyes full of surprise!

He was instantly moved by the enthusiasm.

"Thank you, thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday. I am really touched."

Kramer is also a sentimental person. Looking at the unfamiliar but sincerely smiling faces in front of him, at this moment, his eyes were moved to tears.

Sun Xue stepped forward, holding a carefully framed gift:

"Professor, I know you're very knowledgeable about traditional Chinese architecture. This is a replica of Liang Sicheng's manuscript of 'A Pictorial History of Chinese Architecture,' which I went to great lengths to find."

Kramer took the gift and gently stroked the cover with his fingers, feeling very emotional. "This is so precious... Thank you, Sun Xue."

Sun Xue said sincerely, "Professor, I hope you like it. I also want to apologize to you again for what happened before. Happy birthday, Professor!"

Kramer looked at the scene in front of him, then looked at the gift in his hand, with a complicated expression: "Sun Xue, are you doing this for me to regain the opportunity for cooperation?"

Sun Xue shook her head: "No, this is just to express my apology and respect for you. It is my fault for deceiving you, and I am willing to bear all the consequences."

At this time, Old Man Sun came over with a bowl of longevity noodles and a kind smile:

"Professor Kramer, I'm Sun Xue's grandfather. I made this traditional Chinese longevity noodle myself. Xue'er is sometimes too strong-willed and doesn't think things through, but she has a good heart..."

Sun Xue held Old Man Sun's arm and translated what he said to Kramer.

Kramer was infected by the strong family atmosphere, and his eyes were slightly moist.

The old man's words were sincere and moved him deeply.

He had heard all the stories about Sun Xue told by Teacher Xu. It turned out that Sun Xue was not the female liar as Dean Gu said, but an orphan who had lost her parents since childhood. She relied on her own efforts to walk out of the mountains and create her own little world. An inspirational girl.

Judy was also moved by the scene before her eyes. She was very pleased, "Sun Xue, you are so lucky to have such a good grandfather."

After the banquet, Judy found Sun Xue and said excitedly, "Sun Xue, the professor wants to see you."

Sun Xue pointed at herself and said, "Teacher, you said...the professor is looking for me?"

"Yes, he said he had something to tell you..."

Sun Xue followed Judy nervously and met Kramer.

Kramer must have been drinking at this time, and his face was flushed.

"Professor, are you looking for me?"

Kramer's eyes were no longer cold, and he smiled shyly and said, "Sun Xue, thank you for hosting my birthday party. I'm very happy."

"Professor, you're welcome. You're a guest from afar, and this is what I should do."

Kramer nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"I admire your sincerity and courage. There's an old Chinese saying, 'Admitting one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue.' I'm giving you a chance to make amends. I've just taken on a project in China: a national sports park in a first-tier city. I'm going to give you the design."

Sun Xue's eyes lit up, but the conditions she heard immediately made her heart tighten.

"However, you only have one month to complete the preliminary design. If it fails to pass the review, our cooperation will end."

Kramer's tone turned serious. "Frankly, this project is very challenging. It involves a complex integration of sports, ecology, and community functions. You need to demonstrate your company's design capabilities to me."

Sun Xue didn't hesitate at all and said firmly, "Thank you, Professor. I will do my best to complete the task!"

"Sun Xue, work hard, you will be fine!"

Judy on the side enthusiastically cheered Sun Xue on.

When Judy heard that Professor Cramer gave Sun Xue the opportunity to work with her, she was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

The efforts she and Teacher Xu made in the past few days finally paid off, and the relationship between Kramer and Sun Xue became closer.

She thought that if Sun Xue could really complete the task assigned to her by Kramer, it would mean that Sun Xue would have the opportunity to cooperate with the world's top architectural masters in the future. It would be like Sun Xue standing on the shoulders of giants, and she would usher in a leap in her career.

That night, Sun Xue returned to the company and called a meeting with team members.

When she announced the good news, she found that no one was as excited as she expected.

"Mr. Sun, can the design of the National Sports Park be completed in one month? Normally, such a project would take at least three months!" Wang Ke raised the question first.

"I know time is tight, but this is our only chance." Sun Xue's eyes were firm. "Mr. Wang, you are the most experienced designer in the company. You need to develop a detailed plan for us."

Wang Ke shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to, but it's impossible. The company has so many projects right now, and our team only has eight people. Furthermore, there are so many factors to consider for a comprehensive sports park like this—sports zoning, crowd control, ecological sustainability, barrier-free design..."

Sun Xue wrote the words "National Sports Park" on the whiteboard and turned to face the team with a stern look in her eyes:

"Yes, I know it's difficult. If it were easy, Professor Kramer wouldn't have said the project was challenging, but..."

Sun Xue looked at everyone with a determined look, "If we succeed, not only will we be able to collaborate with world-class designers like Kramer for a long time, but more importantly, we'll be able to prove to everyone the strength of Xuehua Construction! We have no choice but to fight tooth and nail to win!"

The conference room was silent...

Finally, Wang Ke sighed and walked to the whiteboard: "Okay, let's analyze the project requirements first..."
