From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue brought this good news to Mr. Wu as soon as possible.

"Mr. Sun, you are still the one with the most face!" Mr. Wu was delighted, and the way he looked at Sun Xue was different.

"Mr. Wu, what gift should we prepare for visiting Vice Mayor Wang?"

"What kind of gift do you think is suitable?" Mr. Wu asked with a smile.

This question really stumped Sun Xue. To be honest, she had no experience in this area.

"How about... prepare some local specialties for Vice Mayor Wang?"

Mr. Wu shook his head decisively, "Deputy Mayor Wang is so kind to you, and you just prepare some specialties for her? This is a bit unreasonable!"

"So...what gift should I prepare?"

Mr. Wu taught Sun Xue the "secret of gift giving". "Mr. Sun, gift giving is an art. If you give it well, it will be the icing on the cake. If you give it badly, it will just cause trouble for the other party."

Seeing Sun Xue still looking confused, Mr. Wu further explained:

"It depends on the other person's identity, your relationship with him/her, and how much value he/she can bring to you. Deputy Mayor Wang thinks highly of you and helps you in every way. With her strong support, the value she brings to you cannot be measured in money."

Mr. Wu paused and continued, "When giving a gift to a leader like Vice Mayor Wang, you have to do it right the first time! So, I think giving cash is the most appropriate."

Sun Xue’s first reaction was surprise!

She guessed that President Wu would propose to give Vice Mayor Wang valuable items and cash, which she had never expected.

"Giving cash, that's probably not a good idea, right?"

Mr. Wu immediately retorted, "What's wrong with that? Think about it, an official of Vice Mayor Wang's level, does she still need your specialties? Giving her those things would become a burden to her.

Do you usually give her any gifts? To be frank, she may not like many things. But giving her cash is different. She can spend it however she wants, which saves her unnecessary trouble in disguise. "

Sun Xue felt that there was nothing wrong with what Mr. Wu said, but she felt that giving cash changed the nature of the matter.

"Mr. Wu, isn't sending cash a bribe to Vice Mayor Wang?"

Mr. Wu smiled strangely, "We are keeping our mouths shut, how could anyone know? It seems that you lack experience in this area, leave it to me, I will definitely do a great job, you can rest assured."

Sun Xue still felt uneasy, "How much do you plan to give?"

Mr. Wu held up a finger with a mysterious look on his face.

"One hundred thousand?"

Mr. Wu raised the corner of his mouth and shook his fingers left and right.

"one million?"

"That's right, one step at a time!"

Sun Xue opened her mouth in shock, "So many!"

Mr. Wu questioned, "Deputy Mayor Wang is so good to you. The profit he will bring you in the future will be more than a million. Do you think it's too much?"

"Mr. Wu, this amount is still too large..."

Sun Xue always had a bad feeling in her heart. If this matter was exposed in the future, wouldn't Deputy Mayor Wang be dragged into the water?

Hasn't she witnessed such things before?

Mr. Wu was obviously a little angry. "Mr. Sun, if you want to do big things, you can't be timid and hesitant. I'm doing this for our business. Don't you trust me?"

"Mr. Wu, it's not that I don't trust you..."

"Mr. Sun, what is the most important thing between partners? To put it bluntly, isn't it trust? If you think this matter involves you, then forget what I said!"

At this moment, Sun Xue was very conflicted.

Thinking about the various benefits that Vice Mayor Wang had given her, and what Mr. Wu had said about the huge profits that his project would bring in the future, she began to waver...

Even if...it's my way of expressing my gratitude to Vice Mayor Wang.

Thinking this way, she felt less conflicted and unexpectedly agreed...

Mr. Wu was very happy and said confidently, "Mr. Sun, I understand your concerns. This is all normal human interaction. Don't feel any psychological pressure. I will do this perfectly."

......

Two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

Mr. Wu and Sun Xue appeared in Vice Mayor Wang’s office.

When she entered the door, Sun Xue was holding a box of beautifully packaged local specialties in her hand.

After a brief greeting, Sun Xue got straight to the point:

“Deputy Mayor Wang, the film and television base and film and television company projects will be launched soon, and the government villa project has also started. The company’s financial pressure has suddenly increased.

Mr. Wu and I came here today to see if we can apply for an interest-free loan from the bank and the government's support policies for cultural tourism projects."

Deputy Mayor Wang was a little surprised. "Xiao Sun, the film and television base is going to start so soon? You guys are really efficient at work!"

Mr. Wu lost no time in adding, “Deputy Mayor Wang, my first investment of 10 million has been received.

The first investment was supposed to be 7 million from me and 3 million from Mr. Sun. Considering that Mr. Sun's company has other projects that also require large sums of money, I will invest first."

Hearing what Mr. Wu said, Sun Xue frowned.

What does Mr. Wu mean by this? Is he trying to take credit in front of Vice Mayor Wang?

He clearly said that he would provide the first investment of 10 million, and he didn't say that he wanted me to invest 3 million?

Mr. Wu went on to say, “Once the film and television company and the film and television base start construction, the demand for funds will increase in the later stages. Mr. Sun and I plan to complete these two projects as quickly as possible and achieve rapid profitability.”

Deputy Mayor Wang listened carefully, as she understood the situation of Sun Xue's company.

The investment amount of the government villa project is huge, and the film and television company and film and television base are also large projects. It is normal that Sun Xue’s company must be short of funds.

Her previous attitude was very clear: the Quancheng Municipal Government would do its utmost to support Sun Xue's project.

"Okay, Xiao Sun, you and Mr. Wu will prepare the application materials and carefully plan how much funding you currently need. I will greet the leaders of the relevant departments and ask them to prioritize solving your funding needs."

"Thank you, Vice Mayor Wang, for your strong support. We will prepare the application materials as quickly as possible."

Mr. Wu smiled attentively. He had asked Manager Zhao to prepare the materials.

He brought Manager Zhao to Quancheng this time and planned to let her stay there permanently. The purpose was actually very simple, which was to "assist" Sun Xue.

Although he said he was assisting Sun Xue, his real intention was to "control" the development of the company.

Mr. Wu's business is spread all over the country, so it is impossible for him to keep an eye on Sun Xue all the time.

He must place a trusted confidant next to Sun Xue and report all matters to him as soon as possible.

Manager Zhao is single and has no ties. He is also a veteran of the company, familiar with all the company's businesses and has excellent management skills.

Besides, their relationship is "unusual"...

Manager Zhao is not only his confidant, but also the best candidate to stay in Quancheng City.

"By the way, Vice Mayor Wang, I heard that the government has a number of preferential support policies for the cultural tourism industry. These are some of the policies I know about. It would be great if our project could get these preferential support policies. Could you please take a look..."

Sun Xue said this as she respectfully handed a set of organized information to Deputy Mayor Wang.

This information was compiled by General Manager Wu at the request of Manager Zhao. Manager Zhao is very familiar with policy research.

Deputy Mayor Wang was very surprised when he saw the two pages of information. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

This definitely doesn't look like something Sun Xue came up with on her own!
