From abandoned baby to CEO

Li Yan left these words and went to bed, but Sun Xue had no sleepiness.

She regretted very much. If she had extinguished the candle when she was sleepy, what happened today would not have happened. If Li Yan hadn't encountered the dormitory in such a posture, she would probably have beaten them. Why! Li Yan's sheets burned a hole. Li Yan would definitely not give up. She didn't know how she would punish herself tomorrow?

Sun Xue felt regretful and scared. When she thought of Li Yan's usual attitude towards her, she felt that Li Yan would not let her go easily.

Sun Xue was thinking about this all night, and didn't feel sleepy at all. She didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn. In the morning class, Sun Xue's eyelids were almost glued to each other, and he finally managed to stay up until school ended at noon.

Throughout the morning, Li Yan looked as if nothing had happened and she didn't mention a word about what happened last night.

When the evening self-study was over, the students were all heading to the dormitory one after another. Li Yan finally spoke: "Sun Xue, don't leave yet! I have something to tell you."

Sun Xue was about to pack up her desk and get up to leave. When she heard Li Yan say this, Sun Xue's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that what was supposed to come would eventually come.

"Sun Xue, why don't you go back to the dormitory? Let's go! If you don't leave, the lights will be turned off in the classroom later." Sun Pengfei walked to Sun Xue and urged Sun Xue.

"You go first, I have to do my homework for a while." Sun Xue replied without looking back.

Seeing that all the classmates had left, Li Yan turned around and said, "Sun Xue, do you know what I want from you?"

Sun Xue looked at Li Yan blankly, not knowing how to answer her words.

"To tell you the truth, I bought that bed sheet for 100 yuan, can you afford to pay it back?"

When Sun Xue heard Li Yan say that bed sheets cost 100 yuan, she was surprised. She could only shake her head.

"Do you want to resolve it with me privately? Or do you want me to tell the teacher and let the teacher handle it?" Li Yan asked calmly.

"Li Yan, I'm sorry."

Sun Xue knew that this matter was all her fault, so she could only bow her head and admit her mistake. She didn't know what Li Yan meant by solving it privately.

"Don't say sorry to me. What's the use of saying sorry now?" Li Yan raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

"Sun Xue, if you don't want the teacher to know about this, then we can resolve it privately, as long as you agree to my request."

"Then... let's resolve it privately." Sun Xue said helplessly.

"It would be easy to resolve it privately. I have two demands: first, you pay me 50 yuan, and second, you are not allowed to have any contact with Sun Pengfei in the future."

"This……"

Sun Xue did not expect that Li Yan would make such a request.

"Sun Xue, think it over for yourself. I don't want you to give me an answer right away. You can think about it for a few days."

After saying that, Li Yan strode out of the classroom, leaving Sun Xue alone in a daze.

Sun Xue returned to the dormitory gloomily. She was not in the mood to read that night, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep early.

Although my eyes were closed, I didn't feel sleepy at all. What Li Yan said to her has been lingering in her ears. Both of Li Yan's demands were difficult for her, especially the need to compensate her 50 yuan. Sun Xue was worried about where the 50 yuan would come from. Also, he wanted her to stop interacting with Sun Pengfei. Sun Pengfei was usually so kind to her, but suddenly he wanted to keep a distance from him. Oh! The more Sun Xue thought about it, the more irritated she became. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

For several days, Sun Xue had been thinking about this matter. Sometimes my mind suddenly wanders during class.

After several days of consideration, Sun Xue made a decision. After school that afternoon, Sun Xue said to Li Yan beside him: "I have thought about it, and I agree to your request. However, I can't get the money for the time being. Give me some time and I will think of a solution."

Hearing Sun Xue's words, Li Yan showed a victorious expression on her face: "Okay, the money can give you a break, but only we and I know about this, you are not allowed to tell anyone!"

Sun Xue nodded, wondering what kind of medicine Li Yan was selling in the gourd.

The most critical question now is how to get 50 yuan. Even if I eat steamed buns every day, I only have 20 yuan in my pocket for living expenses. It was impossible for her to reach out to her grandfather and ask for it. Grandpa was still worried about her living expenses in the future.

Sun Xue suddenly remembered that a roommate in the dormitory said that her father worked in a brick factory in the town. If she used odd jobs in the brick factory on weekends to earn money, wouldn't there be hope of paying back the money?

As soon as this idea came out, Sun Xue seemed to see hope. The weekend was coming soon. Yes, she could go to the brick factory and ask questions this weekend.

Sun Xue secretly found out the address of the brick factory in the town.

After school on Friday, Sun Pengfei was waiting for Sun Xue at the school gate. Sun Xue told Sun Pengfei that she was not going to go home this week and that she had to review at school.

Hearing Sun Xue's words, Sun Pengfei was very puzzled: "Sun Xue, there is no food in the school cafeteria. Why are you staying at school? Can't you still review at home?"

"I...the school is a little quieter!" Sun Xue herself felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.

"I really don't understand you!" Sun Pengfei shook his head.

"Sun Pengfei, can you do me a favor?" Sun Xue stopped Sun Pengfei who was about to ride away.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"You tell my grandpa that I am reviewing at school. Then, you ask grandma to make me some steamed buns and bring them with me when I come here, okay?"

"Okay! No problem. Then I'm leaving."

Watching Sun Pengfei's back disappear at the school gate, Sun Xue felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Sun Xue got up very early on Saturday morning. When she arrived at the brick factory, the workers had already started working.

"Uncle, do you need temporary workers here?"

Sun Xue asked a middle-aged man who looked like a leader.

"Who wants to work as a temporary worker?" the man asked.

"It's me, uncle."

"You? Are you a student?"

"Yeah, I study at Willow Middle School."

"That won't work, we don't want students here. Besides, you're a girl, this is a physical job, you can't do it."

"Uncle, please, let me do it, I can do it." Sun Xue begged.

"Hey! You are a student and don't study hard. Why do you come here to work?" The man didn't understand the pitiful Sun Xue in front of him.

"Uncle, my family's conditions are not good, and I want to use my weekends to earn some living expenses for myself. Just let me do it! I can endure hardships."

Seeing how pitiful Sun Xue said, maybe the boss had softened his heart and said, "Then just do it, be sure to pay attention to safety!"

"Thank you, boss!" Sun Xue almost jumped up with excitement.

Sun Xue's job is also very simple, that is, moving the fired bricks to an open space as required and waiting for the customer to come.

Wages are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, the more you work, the more you get. The boss promised to pay Sun Xue every day after finishing his work.

Just like that, Sun Xue rolled up his sleeves and started working.
