From abandoned baby to CEO

The father and son embraced tightly once again, a touching and heartwarming scene that moved everyone present.

Wang Ke, this strong and assertive man, was crying more heartbreakingly than a delicate woman at this moment.

The invisible barriers and prejudices that stood between the father and son melted away the moment they embraced and wept.

The deep bond of blood, the guilt, understanding, and gratitude they felt for each other formed a soft net that tightly bound them together.

The trials of living in the countryside for more than a month gradually transformed this once spoiled young man, allowing him to experience a life he had never experienced before, and making him truly feel the warmth and coldness of the world and the hardships of life.

All of these things subtly and silently touched the boy's heart, gradually fading away his violent temper.

At that moment, he truly understood: he was still a child, he needed his father's warm and generous embrace, his father's respect and care, he loved his father, and he needed his father's love even more.

The father and son hugged and cried for a long time before reluctantly parting.

Wang Ke's eyes were red and swollen. He let out a long sigh and laughed, "Sorry... I was a little out of line just now."

Sun Xue quickly stepped in to save the day. She picked up her drink and exclaimed excitedly, "Come on, let's toast to President Wang's birthday, and to them, father and son!"

Everyone raised their glasses, "Cheers!"

The touching scene between the father and son instantly brought the dinner atmosphere to a climax.

Sun Xue thoughtfully pulled Wang Hao to sit down beside her, and without missing a moment, gave him a thumbs-up and praised him:

"Wang Hao, in your sister's eyes, you are a real man, the kind of man who is magnanimous and responsible."

Wang Hao blushed slightly, looking a little shy.

With tears still glistening in the corners of his eyes, he said meaningfully:

"Sister, actually... you've had the biggest influence on me. During this time at Uncle's farm, he kept telling me your stories. He told me how Grandpa Sun took you home, your childhood stories, your school stories, your entrepreneurial stories... Several times, I cried while listening. I never imagined that your life had been so hard, that you'd gone through so many twists and turns..."

Wang Hao said earnestly, "Your image in my mind is becoming more and more lofty; you are my role model."

Wang Ke smiled and chimed in, "Your sister is also a role model for Dad. She only went to a vocational school, but her career is more successful than mine, who went to a prestigious university."

Sun Xue put her hand on Wang Hao's shoulder to encourage him, "Wang Hao, with your intelligence, you will definitely surpass your sister in the future. You must have confidence in yourself."

Wang Hao looked confused, his eyes filled with uncertainty. "Sister, can I really do it?"

"Of course you can! You're great, you can definitely do it!"

"But..." Wang Hao scratched his head, "My grades have fallen far behind. Don't laugh at me, but I'm constantly at the bottom of the class rankings. I get sleepy as soon as I see a book..."

Sun Xue seized the opportunity to boost his confidence, "Wang Hao, your dad told me that you had excellent grades in elementary school, which shows that you are very smart. It's not terrible to fall behind temporarily. As long as you are determined to change, it's never too late."

Wang Hao listened silently, knowing that Sun Xue was encouraging him.

But he has fallen too far behind in his studies over the past few years, and the thought of it gives him a headache. He has no idea whether he can catch up.

Sun Xue guessed what Wang Hao was thinking, and she said earnestly:

"Wang Hao, learning is like life, it's a marathon. Falling behind temporarily doesn't mean you'll fall behind forever. As long as you're determined to catch up and never give up, success will surely be yours in the end."

Sun Xue knew that Wang Hao was a very smart child, but his long-term last-place ranking had already destroyed his confidence.

Now, he needs affirmation and encouragement to help him regain his confidence.

He is currently moving in a positive direction. We should seize the opportunity and help him gain confidence in his studies so that his trajectory can be completely changed.

Otherwise, he might end up back where he started, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"Wang Hao, do you have an ideal university in mind?"

These words stunned Wang Hao...

His ideal university? He hadn't even considered that question since the moment he skipped school.

With his current combined scores in several subjects barely exceeding three digits, he can't even get into an ordinary university, let alone his ideal one.

Sun Xue guided him, "Put aside your current grades and just think about which university is your ideal university."

Wang Hao frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then said excitedly, "If we really put grades aside... then my ideal university is the National University of Defense Technology. I've always admired soldiers since I was little. In my opinion, wearing that uniform would be incredibly cool and stylish!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xue said firmly, "Okay, then let's apply to the National University of Defense Technology, shall we?"

Wang Hao's previous excitement vanished instantly. "Sis, didn't you say you'd put aside grades and let me apply to the National University of Defense Technology? You've gone too far with this joke, haven't you?"

Sun Xue said seriously, "I'm not joking."

Wang Ke, standing to the side, smiled slightly and ate his food quietly, still immersed in the immense happiness of the father-son embrace he had just shared.

As for Sun Xue's suggestion to apply to the National University of Defense Technology, he dared not even dream of it.

If his son studies hard from now on and gets into university, he'll be extremely grateful.

After all, he knew his son's grades all too well. He had consistently ranked last in his class for years, so getting into university was no easy task!

Sun Xue continued the conversation, "Wang Hao, you're a freshman in high school this year, so you still have two and a half years until the college entrance exam, right?"

Wang Hao nodded silently, "Yes..."

He didn't know what Sun Xue was going to say next...

Sun Xue smiled slightly, "So, there's still a chance. Do you want to undergo a complete transformation in the next two and a half years and get into your dream university?"

"Of course I want to, but..."

Sun Xue immediately interrupted Wang Hao, "No buts! As long as you're determined to get into your dream university, you can definitely achieve it!"

"Let me tell you a true story that happened to me, and you'll see that I'm not just giving you empty platitudes or making things up."

Sun Xue shared her story of how she went from having only a high school level of English to studying at a foreign university through a three-month transformation.

After hearing Sun Xue's story, Wang Hao looked incredulous:

"Sister, what you said...is it true? Is that really amazing?! How did you do it?"

"Actually, when my sister told others about this idea, no one thought I could do it. In their eyes, I was just dreaming. But there was always a firm voice in my heart telling me, 'Sun Xue, you can do it!' Then, I worked like crazy, truly neglecting to eat or sleep, working so hard that I even moved myself. In the end, I succeeded... It's that simple!"

Sun Xue's eyes shone brightly as she recounted this experience, feeling a surge of energy coursing through her body. Images of herself frantically memorizing English in the park and on the rooftop flashed before her eyes once more...

"Wang Hao, if you work hard enough to move even yourself, the world will make way for you!"
