From abandoned baby to CEO

Boss Liu was very puzzled by Sun Xue's behavior. He felt that although Xiao Gou saved Sun Xue's life, their family treated Xiao Gou quite well.

In his opinion, Sun Xue didn't need to worry so much about a teenager with bad habits.

He lit a cigarette and said meaningfully, "Sun Xue, I still say the same thing. It's too difficult for you to change Xiao Gou!"

"Dad, I know that even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I am willing to help him. He is only 16 years old."

Boss Liu could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly.

Sun Xue was determined to pull Xiao Gou back from the wrong path.

Three days later, Sun Xue found time to come to the construction site again. What made her happy was that she saw Xiao Gou following Master Li happily to lay the wires, and he was covered in dust.

Sun Xue's appearance surprised him a little, "Sister, why are you here?"

"I came over to check on you and see if you were slacking off," Sun Xue said jokingly.

Xiao Gou smiled embarrassedly.

It was Master Li who took over the topic and said, "To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with his performance these past few days. At least he woke up and stopped dozing off at work."

Xiao Gou glanced at Master Li and chuckled.

"I told you, Xiao Gou is quite good when he's serious." Sun Xue quickly praised him.

Xiao Gou said sweetly, "It's all thanks to Master Li's good teaching."

Master Li teased, "You are quite good at flattering people. What can I say about you? If you put your energy into studying, you wouldn't be working on the construction site now."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Gou said, "Master, there are top talents in every profession. I am not good at studying, but if I follow you and work hard, I may become a famous electrician in the future."

"Xiao Gou, it's right to have this idea. Follow the master and learn well. You will live a good life with this skill in the future." Sun Xue encouraged immediately.

Master Li shook his head regretfully, "The brat has a very smart brain, but he just didn't use it in the right place. If he had studied hard, he would definitely be a college student in the future."

Xiao Gou said aggrievedly, "Master, to be honest, I was a very good student before I entered junior high school. It's just that I made the wrong friends in junior high school, and now I am like this..."

"Boy, you regret it now. Let me tell you, for children from ordinary families, going to college is the best shortcut.

Just like my son, who graduated from a key university and went to work for a foreign company after graduation. Now he flies around the world and earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. "

"An annual salary of hundreds of thousands, is that so impressive?" Xiao Gou opened his mouth in surprise.

"Yes, so, do you think there is a big difference between studying and not studying? For example, take your current salary. You have to go without eating or drinking for more than ten years to equal my son's annual income." Master Li's face was full of pride.

Little did he know that Master Li’s words deeply shocked Xiao Gou’s heart.

Only then did he realize that the difference in life between reading and not reading could be so huge.

In order to allow Master Li to take better care of Xiao Gou, Sun Xue invited the two of them to have lunch at a small restaurant at noon.

During the meal, Master Li drank some wine and under the influence of alcohol he started talking about his promising son.

Sun Xue discovered that Xiao Gou looked envious when he heard this.

Before breaking up, Sun Xue once again tried to persuade Xiao Gou.

"Xiao Gou, you must learn the skills from Master Li. When you get home from get off work at night, don't go online. Read a book when you have time.

Although you don't have the opportunity to go to college, learning is a lifelong thing. Don't waste it. Take some time to go to the bookstore and buy a few books to read."

Xiao Gou nodded obediently, "I understand, sister."

Sun Xue was very pleased to see that Xiao Gou's attitude had changed.

Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Gou asked cautiously, "Sister, there is something I want to discuss with you?"

"What did you say?"

"Sister, can you lend me 5,000 yuan?"

Sun Xue was stunned, "Why are you borrowing so much money?"

"I called home yesterday and my mom told me that my dad broke his leg while working at home and is now in the hospital."

He looked worried, "I know there's no money at home... so... I want to borrow some money from you to send back home."

Sun Xue hesitated for a moment, "Xiao Gou, I can lend you the money, but you can't lie, do you understand?"

"I understand... Sister, if you don't have it, forget it."

Of course Sun Xue could take out 5,000 yuan, but she was afraid that Xiao Gou would cheat her and use the money for other things.

After all, Xiao Gou was a guy who used to lie without blinking an eye.

"Okay, I'll lend you the money." Sun Xue agreed readily.

"Thank you, sister. I may have to go back home in a couple of days to visit my dad in the hospital. Is that okay?"

"Of course. You haven't been home for a long time. Your parents will be relieved if you go home."

Two days later, Sun Xue bought some local specialties for Xiao Gou and sent him to the long-distance bus station.

When they were about to get in the car, Xiao Gou suddenly ran over, hugged Sun Xue, and said, "Sister, thank you, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he hurriedly got into the car.

Watching Xiao Gou's thin figure disappear before her eyes, Sun Xue felt mixed feelings of joy and worry.

What makes her happy is that Xiao Gou is changing little by little, but what worries her is that Xiao Gou borrowed so much money to go home this time. Could he be looking for an excuse to cheat her and just leave and never come back?

Sun Xue thought it over and chose to believe Xiao Gou again. If Xiao Gou didn't come back, their fate would end there. Xiao Gou saved her life, so she had repaid him for his kindness.

If he had not lied to her, then in the days to come, she was willing to do her best to help Xiao Gou and give him a different life.

Before going home, Xiao Gou promised to stay for no more than three days.

Soon, three days passed.

However, what made Sun Xue uneasy was that Xiao Gou, who had promised to come back, did not show up as expected.

Sun Xue held on to a glimmer of hope in her heart. She told herself that Xiao Gou must have something going on at home and couldn't get away.

However, as the days passed, Sun Xue's mood became a little more complicated.

Another three days passed, and Xiao Gou still did not show up.

Since Sun Xue completely trusted Xiao Gou, she did not leave any contact information for Xiao Gou, and she didn't even know where Xiao Gou lived.

Sun Xue was a little disappointed. It seemed that her father was right. It was futile to wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.

Sun Xue no longer had any hope that Xiao Gou would come back.

She could only smile bitterly in her heart and was completely desperate about Xiao Gou.

On the tenth day, Sun Xue accidentally received a strange phone call.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Sister, where do you live? I brought you some local specialties from my hometown. I'll send them to you now."

"Xiao Gou, you're back?" Sun Xue exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes sister, I just arrived at the construction site."
