From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue stepped forward and gently tidied a few stray strands of hair that had fallen across President Xue's forehead, smiling tenderly as she said:

"Auntie, I told you before that you don't need to worry. Qianqian is such an excellent girl, it's just that her destiny hasn't arrived yet. Now that destiny has come, there's no stopping it."

It was Sun Xue's seemingly insignificant yet heartwarming gesture that instantly bridged the gap between the two.

President Xue's smile was as warm as the spring sun. She took Sun Xue's hand and said, "Little Sun, Auntie can tell at a glance that you are a kind-hearted and warm-hearted girl. You look like a very lucky girl."

Sun Xue happily accepted Chairman Xue's praise, "Thank you, Auntie. I am a lucky girl. I always meet outstanding and successful people like you and Director Sun, which makes my energy field stronger and stronger."

Chairman Xue spoke in a kind tone, as if he were talking to his own daughter, "Little Sun, you're being modest. You're just outstanding and full of positive energy."

She said emotionally, "On the show that day, when you told me your stories from your childhood, as a mother, I really felt sorry for you. When God closes a door, He always opens a window. Your hard work and kindness have moved God. In the future, you will get better and better."

Chairman Xue's words moved Sun Xue. She could feel the warmth and strength in Chairman Xue's palm, and this strength spread throughout her body through her fingers.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Little Sun, it's fate that we met. From now on, we're family. Next time you come to the provincial capital, you must visit Auntie's house. Auntie will cook you something delicious."

Sun Xue's eyes were filled with tears as she nodded vigorously, "Okay, Auntie."

From the moment Lu Tingfeng and Qianqian were introduced, her relationship with Chairman Xue had been undergoing subtle changes.

Previously, they spoke very politely to each other, focusing entirely on work and rarely touching on personal topics.

Now, the two have become even closer, and she has even started calling Chairman Xue "Auntie," while Chairman Xue affectionately calls her "Little Sun."

Her act of kindness brought together a talented couple and also led her to unexpectedly meet such an outstanding family.

President Xue just said she was a blessed person. She pondered these words carefully and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion.

She herself was also surprised that before she entered society, her life was only characterized by "bitterness".

Every day from the moment she opens her eyes, she has to struggle to make a living, enduring hardships that many of her peers have never experienced, and facing countless cold stares and sarcastic remarks.

At home, she was her aunt's punching bag, often subjected to verbal abuse and beatings; in the village, gossipy women would point and whisper about her, even mocking and ridiculing her in front of others; at school, her classmates deliberately isolated her, looking at her with strange eyes; even when she went out to set up a stall to earn a living, she was either chased by the city management officers or swindled out of the little money she had by a conman posing as a disabled person...

She silently swallowed all her grievances and digested them.

All these hardships did not break her back then, when she was thin and small, like a bean sprout. Instead, they made her incredibly strong inside.

This further strengthened her powerful belief in defying fate.

She couldn't even remember when her luck started to improve. One benefactor after another appeared in her life, and she was surprised to find that these benefactors had increasingly higher levels of energy.

Mr. Liu, Zhang Zhen, Lu Huohua's family, Vice Mayor Wang, and now Director Sun's family.

Even his acquaintance with Lu Huohua's family was quite dramatic.

Looking back on her journey, she suddenly realized: Heaven will not let down someone who works hard and fights against fate.

This also proves the saying: the harder you work, the luckier you get! If you blossom, butterflies will come!

President Xue prepared a very sumptuous lunch for everyone, and the atmosphere at the table was relaxed and warm.

Lu Tingfeng didn't say much, behaving elegantly and gentlemanly. However, Qianqian, who was sitting next to him, would occasionally turn her head to look at her Prince Charming with affection, and put food on his plate.

Mr. and Mrs. Xue witnessed this scene, and their faces beamed with genuine smiles.

Director Sun was in high spirits and brought out his family's treasured wine, insisting that Zhu Biao drink with him.

Zhu Biao looked flattered, and Sun Xue quickly said, "Uncle, please have a drink with Director Sun. I know you can hold your liquor."

At Sun Xue's behest, Zhu Biao freely drank with Director Sun.

Halfway through the meal, one bottle of wine was empty, and the second bottle was already more than half full.

Director Sun enjoys drinking and considers himself to have a good tolerance for alcohol, but he was already feeling slightly drunk. To his surprise, Zhu Biao remained calm and composed.

Director Sun became more talkative after drinking. He patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Not bad, Master Zhu, your drinking capacity is that of a qualified driver. Come on, let's keep drinking."

Sun Xue quickly gave Zhu Biao a meaningful look; she could tell that Director Sun had drunk a bit too much.

Zhu Biao, understanding the unspoken message, raised his glass and said with a smile, "Director Sun, let's finish this glass and stop drinking, okay?"

Director Sun shook his head, "No, no, no, a thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend. Drink, keep drinking."

"Dad, please drink less."

"Dad's in a good mood today, so we have to drink to our hearts' content. Your Uncle Zhu hasn't had his fill of drinking yet."

Director Sun put his arm around Zhu Biao's shoulder, his eyes glazed over, and said with a grin.

Zhu Biao was nervous. He had never drunk with such a high-ranking leader before. The director of the provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission actually put his arm around his shoulder and wanted to continue drinking.

"Director, I...I've finished drinking."

Director Sun glared at him and said, "You're talking nonsense. I know you haven't had enough to drink yet. Drink as much as you want today. Don't worry about not having any alcohol. We've got plenty prepared at home."

"Old Sun, it's settled then, I won't drink anymore after I finish this bottle, okay?"

President Xue knew Director Sun's alcohol tolerance, and she figured that he would be pretty much done after finishing the remaining half bottle.

After finishing the second bottle, Director Sun was clearly drunk; he could barely speak clearly, but he still insisted on opening another bottle.

Helpless, Zhu Biao had no choice but to continue drinking with him, but he drank most of the alcohol while Director Sun held up his glass and began to recount his glorious history.

Suddenly, Director Sun got up to go to the restroom. After taking only a few steps, he swayed and almost fell. Seeing this, Zhu Biao and Lu Tingfeng quickly got up and went to help him.

Director Sun, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, waved his hand, "I'm fine... I'm not drunk at all, Brother Zhu and I want to drink more..."

"Uncle, it's alright, I'll help him to the restroom."

Lu Tingfeng, with his arm around the limp, mud-like Director Sun, slowly led him into the bathroom. The moment the bathroom door closed, everyone in the living room heard a series of retching sounds coming from inside...

The next second, Director Sun's body went limp in Lu Tingfeng's arms, and she vomited violently.

"Uncle, Director Sun vomited. Please go in and check on her quickly." Upon hearing the voice, Sun Xue called to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao got up and ran to the bathroom, and what he saw as soon as he entered stunned him.
