From abandoned baby to CEO

The red bag was very big, and it was filled neatly with stacks of US dollars.

Deputy Mayor Wang weighed the money in his hand and estimated that the amount was at least millions.

The good mood disappeared in an instant.

She angrily threw the bag into the gift box, walked out of the kitchen, and immediately called Sun Xue.

Before Sun Xue could speak, Deputy Mayor Wang frowned and asked sternly:

"Xiao Sun, what are you doing? Explain to me, what's going on with the red bag in the gift box?"

Sun Xue didn't know what the red bag was, but she had guessed what had happened.

The bag must contain the "thank you money" that Mr. Wu prepared for Vice Mayor Wang.

Sun Xue pretended to be calm and said, "Deputy Mayor Wang, thank you very much for your support for my career. This is a small token of my appreciation."

"Xiao Sun, when did you learn these crooked ways?"

Deputy Mayor Wang's tone was full of anger, and his question left Sun Xue speechless.

"Vice Mayor Wang...I..."

"Xiao Sun, do you know why I want to support you in your career?"

Sun Xue could tell that Deputy Mayor Wang was very angry on the other end of the phone. Besides being embarrassed, she was already scared...

“Xiao Sun, what I like about you is your character, your dedication to your career, and your simplicity. You are not a power-seeker or worldly-wise person.

I didn't expect you to do the same thing. I'm very disappointed by your behavior, do you understand? "

Sun Xue knew that Deputy Mayor Wang was really angry, otherwise she would not have said such words.

There was an instant silence on both ends of the phone. Deputy Mayor Wang was so angry that he was speechless, and Sun Xue was at a loss for words.

After a brief silence, Sun Xue calmed down and quickly apologized to Vice Mayor Wang:

"Deputy Mayor Wang, I was wrong."

Deputy Mayor Wang on the other end of the phone sighed, adjusted his mood, and softened his tone:

"Xiao Sun, I'm giving you a chance to correct your mistakes. Next time, I won't allow this kind of unhealthy behavior to happen to you. Remember?"

"Deputy Mayor Wang, I'll remember that."

"Xiao Sun, I hope you won't let me down!"

"I see."

Deputy Mayor Wang earnestly exhorted, "Xiao Sun, you must always remember that you represent the outstanding young leaders of Quancheng City. I hope you can always keep your original intention, review your words and deeds, and set a good example for young people!"

"Deputy Mayor Wang, I was wrong, I hope you can forgive me..."

“Xiao Sun, everyone makes mistakes, and if I condone your behavior today, I will be harming you.

You will deviate from your original direction, go further and further down the road of no return, and eventually ruin your life. I have seen too many such things... Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

"Deputy Mayor Wang, I was wrong. I understand."

"I'll keep the chicken, you take the stuff. I'll text you the location later, come get it right away."

"Okay, Vice Mayor Wang, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue immediately called Liu Qingsong and asked him to come to the community to pick her up as soon as possible.

Ten minutes later, Liu Qingsong picked up the distraught Sun Xue in the community.

He asked carefully, "Sun Xue, are you okay? You look a little pale, do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"No, I'm fine. I'll go to Yulong Square right away."

Deputy Mayor Wang did not send her the address of his community, but instead arranged to meet at the fountain in Yulong Square.

Along the way, Sun Xue closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat. Liu Qingsong felt that Sun Xue's behavior was a little abnormal, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and drove seriously.

At this moment, Sun Xue's mind was in a mess. Vice Mayor Wang's earnest exhortation kept echoing in her mind. How should she face Vice Mayor Wang when she meets him later...

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Yulong Square.

Through the bustling crowd, Sun Xue saw Deputy Mayor Wang standing at the fountain.

She got out of the car quickly and walked over with a nervous mood...

She thought that Deputy Mayor Wang would scold her with a gloomy face, but unexpectedly, he handed her the gift box with a smile:

"Xiao Sun, return the property to its original owner."

After taking the gift box, Sun Xue stood there feeling guilty and embarrassed.

"Xiao Sun, this matter ends here, you can go back."

Deputy Mayor Wang had a faint smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

After saying that, he waved to Sun Xue, turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Sun Xue was stunned in the spot. She didn't even have time to say, "I was wrong."

This scene was seen by Liu Qingsong, who was sitting in the car waiting for Sun Xue not far away.

He had met Deputy Mayor Wang and was very impressed by this approachable deputy mayor, who was also the highest-ranking official he had ever met up close in his life.

He saw Deputy Mayor Wang hand a gift box to Sun Xue and then quickly turned and left. This scene made him very curious.

What's in the box? Why does Sun Xue look nervous? Why is she so depressed?

On the way back, Sun Xue kept turning her head toward the car window, staring blankly at the busy city...

Suddenly, she remembered something, looked away from the window, and said:

"Mr. Wu is leaving next week, and he asked Manager Zhao to stay to assist with the company's management."

"Oh."

Liu Qingsong responded, not knowing what Sun Xue meant by this.

"Qingsong, what do you think of Manager Zhao?"

"She is...very nice. She should be a very capable boss."

"How do you know she's capable?"

Liu Qingsong was stunned for a moment, "Feel it."

Sun Xue asked, "Do you still keep in touch privately?"

Liu Qingsong was a little embarrassed and answered in a low voice, "Yes."

"Qingsong, tell me the truth. Was it she who contacted you first? Or was it you who contacted her first?"

Liu Qingsong blushed, "She... contacted me first."

"Oh!"

"By the way, Qingsong, have you heard anything about Mr. Wu from Manager Zhao?"

"No."

"Oh."

The two stopped talking, and the atmosphere became dull for a while...

After a brief silence, Sun Xue spoke to break the silence:

"Qingsong, do you like Manager Zhao?"

Liu Qingsong didn't know how to answer this question.

He and Manager Zhao had only known each other for a week or so. He had never expected that after he had taken care of her in the hospital for three days, she, a manager, would actually contact him on her own initiative...

Moreover, he also discovered that the way Manager Zhao looked at him seemed a little different, revealing a strong sense of ambiguity...

That night on the top of the mountain, the two of them stood side by side and chatted, and he could feel Manager Zhao moving closer to him.

There was a faint body fragrance from Manager Zhao that drifted into his nose with the wind. He had never smelled that kind of fragrance before, and it made him very intoxicated...

"Sun Xue, I... never expected that."

Just then, Liu Qingsong's phone rang.

He glanced at the phone number, hesitated and looked at Sun Xue.

When Sun Xue turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the name on the phone number: Manager Zhao.

"Answer it, why are you looking at me?"
