Sun Xue was very surprised by Wang Ke's words.

This once rebellious professional manager never expected to do such a heartwarming thing.

No matter how much it costs, she will definitely find a way to pay him back, but she is deeply moved by Wang Ke's recognition and trust in her.

Wang Ke spoke slowly and frankly, "Mr. Sun, I did have a big prejudice against you in the past..."

"Prejudice? What prejudice? Tell me about it." Sun Xue said with interest.

Sun Xue was curious about what Wang Ke said. She wanted to know what kind of image she had in Wang Ke's eyes.

Wang Ke spoke a little embarrassedly, "When I first came to your company, to be honest... I didn't think much of you..."

Wang Ke smiled awkwardly, "Boss Sun, you won't be angry if I say this, right?"

"How could that be? We've been together for so long, and you know my personality well. How could I possibly be angry?"

"When I first met you, I always thought you were just a technical secondary school student who didn't understand management or engineering. I even thought you were able to win the National Games project because you had the support of a large company like the Lu Group."

Sun Xue added with a smile, "Boss Wang, you're absolutely right. I was able to secure a National Games project thanks to the support of a large company like the Lu Group. Without the Lu Group's endorsement, my company wouldn't even have a chance."

Wang Ke continued, "I was very arrogant at the time and had no regard for you. In my opinion, I was far superior to you in every aspect."

Sun Xue smiled and joked, "I agree with your point of view."

"Mr. Sun, please stop making fun of me..."

Wang Ke smiled bitterly, "Reality has slapped me in the face. Now I think about how ridiculous my original thoughts were, and how childish my arrogant and conceited behavior was!

Faced with a situation where you were surrounded by enemies on all sides, the outstanding leadership, responsibility and wisdom you demonstrated in the crisis are beyond my reach.

I suddenly realized that my only advantage over you is that I am more professional than you in the construction industry. Apart from that, I have no other advantages. If I were in your situation, I would probably have closed down my company long ago.

Sun Xue chuckled, "Boss Wang, I'm not as good as you say. You're just flattering me."

Wang Ke said seriously, "Mr. Sun, I have no intention of flattering you. I say this from the bottom of my heart. As you know, I have always been a strong person. I think I am quite good. There are not many people who can convince me wholeheartedly, so there is no need for me to flatter you."

Wang Ke spoke so seriously that Sun Xue felt embarrassed.

"Actually, I'm not as good as you say. I'm the head of this big family. The company is facing difficulties, and I can and must step forward. No matter how difficult it is, I have to grit my teeth and persevere. This is all forced upon me. If I were in your place, you would do the same."

"If I choose to retreat, choose to give in, you know how serious the consequences will be. If the company goes bankrupt, I won't be able to complete the tasks assigned to me by the government, which will affect the smooth progress of the National Games. Hundreds of people in the company will go hungry, and behind those hundreds of people are hundreds of families. So no matter how difficult it is, when I think about these things, I have no reason not to work hard."

As she spoke, Sun Xue's eyes became red.

She sounded calm when she said this, but she knew in her heart what challenges and pressures she had faced in the past few months and how difficult her journey had been.

She has encountered too many ups and downs along the way over the years, but this time, the difficulties she faces are unprecedented, concerning the survival of the company and the image of Quancheng City.

The project was difficult, the company was short of funds, and it also encountered a brutal financial crisis.

Even so, from the very beginning, she never had the slightest thought of backing down.

She must succeed, there is no turning back!

It is this strong belief that supports her and inspires her to move forward courageously and overcome all obstacles along the way!

Wang Ke said with heartfelt emotion, "Mr. Sun, it is your unwavering determination to never give up that has deeply moved me. To be honest, many people in society today, myself included, lack this quality."

Sun Xue smiled faintly. "Perhaps, this has something to do with my experience. In my life creed, I have always firmly believed that as long as you don't give up, there will always be more solutions than difficulties. The reason I think this way is because I have experienced such things..."

Sun Xue opened her heart and told about her experience of being trafficked to the deep mountains to be the wife of a fool, and then successfully escaping.

Wang Ke stared at Sun Xue in surprise. "No... Mr. Sun, I didn't expect you to have such a tortuous experience?"

"Mr. Wang, do you know what? I was also desperate at that time. I even thought that I would have to stay in the mountains for the rest of my life and become that idiot's wife and live with her forever.

But I didn't give up. I always had a belief in my heart. I promised that I would let my only relative in this world, my grandfather, live a good life. I had to escape from that place. It was this belief that supported me and made me escape successfully.

"Mr. Sun, you said your only relative is your grandfather... What do you mean?"

Sun Xue smiled frankly, "To be honest, I was an orphan since I was a child. I was abandoned by my parents not long after I was born. It was my current grandfather who brought me home from outside and raised me to adulthood."

Wang Ke was stunned. "So that's how it is. I never thought..."

No wonder he had never met Sun Xue’s family in all the time he had been in Quancheng City, and Sun Xue had never mentioned them in front of him.

Sun Xue laughed at herself, "Boss Wang, I've been to the gates of hell before. I'm not afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of such a small setback?"

Wang Ke looked at Sun Xue in disbelief and frowned...

He was increasingly unable to understand what Sun Xue was saying. What did she mean by having been to the gates of hell?

Seeing Wang Ke's confused face, Sun Xue smiled and said, "Would you like to listen?"

"Yes, of course I want to listen!" Wang Ke said impatiently.

He became more and more curious about Sun Xue...

What kind of experience could make this seemingly thin girl in front of me so strong!

"A few years ago, I was diagnosed with leukemia and was on the verge of death several times. The fact that I can still be seen alive and kicking in front of you today is a miracle in itself..."

"What?! You said you...had leukemia?!"

Wang Ke looked Sun Xue up and down and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

When he heard the word "leukemia", the image that immediately emerged in his mind was: skinny, hair falling out, frail, and death.

He was deeply impressed by this disease. As the company leader, he had visited the hospital to see employees suffering from this disease. He also knew that Mr. Lu's daughter died of this disease.

He knew very well that once you contracted this disease, you were basically walking on the edge of death. He had also seen people who had recovered from this disease and were discharged from the hospital, but they definitely did not have the same mental state as Sun Xue.

This simply subverted his cognition!

He asked with concern, "Mr. Sun, how is your health recovering now?"

Sun Xue smiled calmly and said, "I'm fully recovered, no different from a normal person. I had a follow-up check after the Chinese New Year, and all my physical indicators were completely normal."

Sun Xue looked very proud. "Even the attending hematologist was surprised. He said that in all his years as a doctor, I was the first patient he had ever seen recover the fastest. He said that some things cannot be explained by medicine and that I am simply a miracle!"
