From abandoned baby to CEO

"A special guest?" Liu Bin became interested.

Sun Xue told Liu Bin about her encounter with a foreign man in the supermarket during the day.

"Well, that's a good thing. Getting to know a foreigner may actually be helpful to you in the future."

The next morning.

Sun Xue and Liu Bin appeared in the market hand in hand.

She picked two black chickens, bought a few squabs, bought some fruit at a fruit shop, and went to a flower shop to buy a big bunch of flowers.

She immediately called Jack and told him that she and her husband wanted to visit him at his home.

Jack was very excited and told Sun Xue that he was waiting for them at home.

Jack's home is located in a scenic community in the university town. When Sun Xue and Liu Bin arrived, Jack gave them a warm hug and expressed Sun Xue's gratitude for her help in the supermarket.

Sun Xue also expressed her desire to visit his sick wife and gave her blessings.

She also told Jack that she bought black chicken and squab for his wife, and that these foods might help his wife's health.

Jack was so touched that he kept praising Sun Xueren for her beauty and good English.

Hearing such praise, Liu Bin on the side also smiled with joy.

He was surprised that Sun Xue and Jack chatted so smoothly without any obstacles at all.

From the conversation, Sun Xue learned that Jack's wife was named Alice and was a manager in the China region of a multinational company.

I haven't been feeling well lately, and I've been recuperating at home. I'm a little anemic. Jack heard that Chinese black chickens are good for anemia, so he thought of going to the supermarket to buy some black chickens. Unexpectedly, he met Sun Xue that way.

Jack has cleaned the black chicken, but is now worried about how to cook it.

Sun Xue immediately told Jack that she wanted to make a yam and black chicken soup for Alice.

She asked Liu Bin to go downstairs and buy other ingredients.

Sun Xue rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen. Jack stood beside her, watching her work with a focused look on his face.

Sun Xue first chopped the black chicken into small pieces and put it into boiling water to remove stains.

Peel the yam and cut into dice, slice the ginger, and chop the green onion into chopped green onion.

Seeing Sun Xue's skillful knife skills, Jack gave her a thumbs up in envy.

Next, Sun Xue put the black chicken, ginger, and jujube into the soup pot, added enough water, and brought to a boil.

Pour it into a casserole, simmer over low heat for 1 hour, add an appropriate amount of salt powder and sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions after serving.

A large pot of fragrant yam and black chicken soup was served.

Jack opened his mouth in surprise and kept praising Sun Xue for her cooking skills.

Throughout the whole process, Jack kept staring at Sun Xue's operation, and Sun Xue explained the cooking process to Jack while she was operating.

Jack listened with great interest and asked Sun Xue about his doubts from time to time.

Sun Xue's hands didn't stop moving, and her mouth wasn't idle either, she kept communicating with Jack.

The content of the communication was not limited to making delicious food, but also talked about each other's hobbies, growth, and even their families.

For Sun Xue, this is an opportunity to practice speaking for free.

After some chatting, what Sun Xue didn't expect was that Jack's home abroad was in the city where Cambridge University is located.

Jack was born in an ordinary family. His father taught in a language school, his mother worked as a nurse in a large local hospital, and he had a younger brother who was studying in college.

When Jack learned that Sun Xue was an orphan who was abandoned by her parents since childhood and was raised by her grandfather.

He widened his eyes in confusion: "Sun Xue, why did your parents abandon you?"

Sun Xue smiled and said, "Maybe, at that time, there were too many children in the family and the family was poor, so they were afraid that they couldn't support them."

Jack shook his head in disbelief: "Children are gifts from God to parents. Why bring them into this world if you know you can't raise them?"

This question really stumped Sun Xue and brought back her sad memories.

She smiled bitterly and quickly changed the subject.

The two naturally talked about Sun Xue's English. Jack was surprised to learn that Sun Xue had made great progress in English through self-study in just two months. He thought Sun Xue's learning method was good and worth promoting to his Chinese students.

However, Jack told Sun Xue that with her current level, she would have no problem communicating normally abroad.

However, it may still be a bit difficult to understand the relatively boring literature courses.

He also reminded Sun Xue that the professors giving lectures might come from different regions, not everyone speaks standard English, and their accents might contain some local dialect.

Sun Xue thought about it and it made sense. She asked hurriedly, "Jack, how do we solve these problems?"

"If you like, I can recommend a few books for you to read," Jack suggested.

"I'd love to, Jack."

When Sun Xue heard Jack's words, she was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.

Jack walked into the room and came out with two books in his arms.

"Study these two books carefully when you have time. They will definitely help you."

Sun Xue was very happy and thanked Jack.

"Sun Xue, it's nothing. It's nice to meet you, a Chinese friend. You help me and then I help you. How do you say it in your country?" Jack said, scratching his head.

"Jack, are you trying to say something about reciprocity?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Jack looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Sun Xue also thought for a long time before she expressed Jack's meaning clearly.

She suddenly discovered that there is still a big difference between English and Chinese. In particular, using English to express Chinese idioms and two-part allegorical sayings requires a deep language foundation.

Sun Xue discovered that Jack's wife Alice was not in a very good mental state, her face was gray and bloodless.

Sun Xue asked Jack about Alice's health with concern.

Speaking of Alice, Jack looked melancholy.

He told Sun Xue that Alice had been feeling unwell many times in the more than half a year since coming to China, and this was her third time being hospitalized.

What gave him the most headache was that every time he went to the hospital, communicating with the doctor was a big problem. He had a lot of tests and went to several hospitals, but there was still no clear result.

Alice's physical condition once made him feel distressed.

Sun Xue thought for a moment and said, "Jack, do you believe in Chinese medicine?"

Jack shook his head. "Traditional Chinese Medicine? I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it."

Sun Xue introduced Jack to the profoundness of Chinese medicine and enthusiastically suggested, "Jack, if you trust me, I would like to introduce you to a famous Chinese medicine doctor to help Alice."

Jack's eyes flashed with worry, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he replied politely: "Thank you, Sun Xue, I'm willing to give it a try."

When Sun Xue heard this, she immediately promised Jack that she would find a way to help him contact the best Chinese medicine doctor as soon as possible.
