Gold Medal Sweetheart

Chapter 406 A guilty conscience

She was just a small teacher, and Tang Xin didn't know how she could help Cheng Ran.

"You heard it too. It was Mr. Cao who called me just now. He has a small banquet the day after tomorrow and he invited me to attend. However, he has some questions about his children's education that he wants to consult with. Since he knows you're a teacher, he wants me to take you with him." Cheng Ran added, "I'm currently discussing cooperation with Mr. Cao. I hope his company can give me some projects to work on. Do you understand?"

Tang Xin heard the hidden meaning in Cheng Ran's words. Although she didn't like this kind of social activities, she thought about how Cheng Ran had just helped Lin Lin out of trouble and how she had said she wanted to thank him. Perhaps this was God giving her a chance to repay the favor.

After she has repaid this favor, she can finally feel at ease and be completely even with the matter.

Tang Xin thought about it, then agreed happily, "Okay, I promise, I'll go with you."

"Thank you then." Cheng Ran moved the corners of his mouth, revealing an uncomfortable smile.

Two days later.

Tang Xin refused Cheng Ran's request to pick her up from school and asked Cheng Ran to send her the location and she would go there by herself.

After glancing at the information, Tang Xin asked, "Why is this address a women's clothing store?"

"Although this party is relatively small, the guests are all somewhat prestigious in society, so it's better for us to dress formally. Could you please cooperate with me?"

Tang Xin felt that she was just there to keep the conversation going, and there was no need to be too formal about answering the so-called Mr. Cao's questions about education. However, due to Cheng Ran's plea, she didn't want to argue too much.

So, I replied briefly, "I'll be there in about half an hour."

After helping Cheng Ran, she felt relieved and could talk to Cheng Ran frankly.

Thinking of this, Tang Xin quickened her pace to pack her things, but just as she opened the office door, a tall figure appeared at the door.

When he saw the person coming, Tang Xin felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Why do you look so nervous? Did you do something wrong?" Jin Taize said jokingly.

"No way," Tang Xin clenched the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, "You suddenly appeared and scared me."

Jin Taize waved his phone in front of Tang Xin and said excitedly, "I've booked tickets for the Ferris wheel in advance. I'm sure I can ride it today."

Ripples appeared in her heart, but she had already promised Cheng Ran what would happen tonight. She didn't have many other advantages, but at least she kept her word.

"Sorry, I have something tonight and I'm afraid I can't go." Tang Xin looked a little lonely.

"what's up?"

"Uh..." Tang Xin was surprised that Jin Taize would continue to ask questions. She felt flustered for a moment and paused before saying, "I made an appointment with Lin Lin to go shopping."

For some reason, she subconsciously said this reason. If Jin Taize's sudden appearance just now did not make her feel as guilty as he said, she now actually had the experience of being a guilty thief.

"Can't we go shopping any day?" Jin Taize curled his lips. "You can tell her you're going out on a date with her brother-in-law. I think she'll be very cooperative. I even turned down a social engagement tonight just to ride the Ferris wheel."

"No, I already promised her that I would go with her to buy a birthday present for a colleague today." Tang Xin's face turned red as she unsurely rejected the man's proposal. She then squeezed past him without even looking up. "I'm leaving now. Bye."

Tang Xin rushed downstairs, but nearly bumped into Director Zhang of General Affairs at the corner of the stairs. Director Zhang forced himself to calm down and warned her earnestly, "Xiao Tang, walk slowly!"

Tang Xin nodded in agreement, but still ran away.

Director Zhang looked up again and saw Jin Taize standing at the door of their office, his face unspeakably grim. Unsure of how he had offended the big boss, he thought that President Jin must have seen what had just happened, so he could only laugh, "This young man is in such a hurry to leave work."

Jin Taize looked at the empty corridor behind Director Zhang and snorted, "She should be teaching physical education next semester, and she can also run 3000 meters in the teachers' sports meet."
