Gold Medal Sweetheart

Chapter 412 What's the Price?

Although Zhongyun Construction is a rising enterprise in the past two years, it is simply not worth mentioning compared with the well-established Shi Tian Group.

Cao Jian said tactfully, "I'm Cao Jian from Zhongyun Construction. How dare I compare Zhongyun with Shitian? I hope Mr. Jin won't take offense."

"Nonsense, Mr. Cao from Zhongyun Construction is a well-known figure. How could he possibly have evil intentions towards a girl and do such a dirty thing?" Jin Taize's face was full of disbelief, and he exerted more force with his hands as he spoke.

Cao Jian was in so much pain that his voice was distorted. "I am really Cao Jian. Miss Tang and I were introduced to each other by her classmate, Mr. Cheng. Miss Tang and I are willing to meet."

Jin Taize turned his head and pretended not to know Tang Xin at all, "Miss, is what he said true?"

Tang Xin immediately shook her head, "I don't know him at all!"

"Did you hear that?" the man said, and he kicked Cao Jian hard on the knee. Cao Jian instantly screamed and fell to his knees. "Hurry up and apologize to this lady."

Cao Jian didn't dare to disobey, and he kowtowed repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Teacher Tang, it's all my fault. Please be magnanimous and let me go."

Cao Jian's head hit the floor tiles so hard that Jin Taize finally let him go and kicked him in the butt again, "Get out!"

Hearing this word, Cao Jian ran away crawling as if he had been pardoned.

However, until Zhongyun Construction no longer received any projects and never recovered, Cao Jian did not understand what had happened. He had heard that Jin Taize was a cold and difficult person to approach, and his methods in the business world were very resolute and decisive. He was definitely not a kind man, nor did he have a heart of a bodhisattva. Why did he start to meddle in other people's business that day?

"Thank you..." Tang Xin said embarrassedly. This was the second time Jin Taize had caught her in such an awkward situation tonight. She felt so ashamed.

"No wonder Teacher Tang is dressed like that. So you're working as a socialite tonight to drum up business for Mr. Cheng." Jin Taize's face was as cold as ice. He tilted his head and glanced coldly at Tang Xin's ankle. "It seems I was meddling in other people's business with that Band-Aid just now."

Social butterfly! Soliciting business!

This sounded like she was a prostitute.

"Please don't say such harsh words." Although Tang Xin was grateful to Jin Taize for helping her, she couldn't help but retort when she heard such insulting words to her dignity.

"Hard to hear?" Jin Taize sneered indifferently, "Are my words hard to hear, or are your actions ugly? You're leaving your job as a teacher to come here and put on a smile for a man."

"You..." Tang Xin's eyes were red. Even though Cao Jian almost took advantage of her just now, she didn't feel wronged and wanted to cry, but now she couldn't help it because of Jin Taize's words that were as sharp as a knife.

"What do you mean by 'I'?" Jin Taize rested his arm on the wall beside Tang Xin's cheek, and moved closer to her. The movement of turning his head made the emotions in his eyes unclear, but his tone was like poison. "Your old lover wants to discuss cooperation so much. A company of Zhongyun's size is nothing. He can go to Shitian. I can consider cooperating with him, and let Teacher Tang accompany him. No matter what price and standard Teacher Tang sets, I can give him any amount of money--"

The man hadn't finished speaking when a loud and crisp slap interrupted his words.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Jin Taize touched his slightly painful cheek with the tip of his tongue, and lowered his eyes to avoid looking at the girl's expression.

The tears Tang Xin had been holding back for so long finally flowed down her fair face under this palm strike. Biting her lip, she looked at the man's silent expression and pushed Jin Taize with all her strength. The moment the man's body swayed slightly, Tang Xin stepped away from him.

The man stood in the same position for a long time like a stone sculpture, until the girl's footsteps disappeared from his ears. Only then did Jin Taize withdraw his arms that were supporting the wall in frustration.

After silently holding his forehead, his emotions were finally catalyzed in an instant. He punched the hard wall in anger, and blood gushed out from his joints in an instant.
