Gold Medal Sweetheart

"I went back to see my second aunt, and she scolded me again," Du Meijiao said, furious. "She said if I made trouble again, we'd both have to leave."

"Principal Wang can't get a say with President Jin?" Zhao Xiaofei guessed based on the implicit meaning in Du Meijiao's words.

"Boss Jin has always been dissatisfied with my second aunt's plan for renovating the school," Du Meijiao said, as if she suddenly understood. "Could it be that Boss Jin knows about our relationship and is taking his dissatisfaction with my second aunt out on me?"

"That's really possible. Otherwise, how could President Jin ignore such a beautiful woman like you?" Having been with Du Meijiao for many years, Zhao Xiaofei has developed a familiar skill of flattery.

If it were in the past, Du Meijiao would really have confidence in herself, but now she knows that Jin Taize is really not an ordinary man.

So, apart from a long sigh, he couldn't say another word.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaofei could only lower her head and eat in silence.

She had originally wanted to pack a box for Tang Xin after finishing her meal, but this conversation made Anqi lose her appetite for picking food. She just packed two portions, paid the bill and left.

Tang Xin was lying on the table, still feeling depressed because she had lost more than she gained, when suddenly a bag of packaged spicy hot pot appeared in front of her.

Looking up the bag, An Qi sighed and said, "I'm worried you won't have any food next month, so I brought you some takeout."

"Thank you." Tang Xin smiled and took it. Tempted by the delicious food, her mood seemed to brighten up a lot. She broke open the disposable chopsticks and opened the lunch box. The rich spicy aroma filled her nostrils. "Wow, it smells so good."

Amused by her carefree appearance, An Qi moved a chair over and sat next to her. She opened her portion and watched her pick up a vegetarian meatball and put it in her mouth. "Is it delicious?"

Tang Xin didn't have time to say anything, she just gave her a thumbs-up gesture.

"I knew you were kind enough to stand up for me when you had a conflict with Du Meijiao before. But before I could even be happy about your return to school, you started this whole thing with President Jin." An Qi was so disappointed. "What's wrong with you? You always pick on the big boss."

"I feel a little uncomfortable seeing him act so arrogant," Tang Xin said bluntly, "He thinks the school is his home."

Of course, she couldn't tell An Qi about the twists and turns involved, so she came up with this excuse. But once she said it, she realized the logic was flawed and couldn't help but sigh and laugh. The school really was his.

"Actually, guess what I heard when I bought the spicy hot pot just now?" An Qi asked her mysteriously, trying to whet her appetite.

"What?" Tang Xin was used to her keeping people in suspense like this, so she didn't take it seriously at all and asked casually.

"Du Meijiao and Zhao Xiaofei also went to eat spicy hot pot."

Tang Xin buried her head in her food and just mechanically cooperated with her, "So?"

"Why were you reinstated?" An Qi abruptly changed the subject.

"Senior Song is on vacation, and she suggested to Principal Wang that I take over her class?" Tang Xin wasn't really sure.

"You're wrong. It was President Jin who rejected Principal Wang's suggestion to hire a new teacher and directly decided to let you resume classes." An Qi tapped the edge of the lunch box with her chopsticks, like a storyteller who was trying to attract the audience's attention when he came to a subtle point.

"Are you sure?" Although he felt that the news was most likely true, Tang Xin still asked again with his eyes wide open.

"I heard it with my own ears, how could it be false? Du Meijiao and Principal Wang were arguing about not letting you return to school. If it weren't for President Jin, she would have let it go." An Qi looked at her with disdain, scolding her for wrongly blaming a good person. "I think you shouldn't have treated President Jin like that."

Tang Xin bit the tip of the chopsticks in panic and fell into deep thought.

In fact, when she first spoke to Senior Sister Song, she thanked her very rationally and modestly, which made her guess that this matter might be related to Jin Taize.

But when she confirmed with him in the stairwell, he didn't give her a good look and said it had nothing to do with him. Even now, she can still remember his cold face. So, she directly attributed all the credit to Senior Song, which was actually just following the normal logic of the situation.
