Gold Medal Sweetheart

Chapter 41 A Big Tree Doesn't Always Provide Shade

"Knock-knock-knock" a rhythmic knock on the door broke the silence of the office and pulled Jin Taize back from his wild imagination.

Jin Taize quickly put on a serious expression as if he was handling official business, but he walked back to his desk slowly and sat down. The word "please come in" was even more light, which did not remind people of the ups and downs of his thoughts just now.

The office door slowly opened, and the person standing at the door surprised Jin Taize at first, but in a moment, his face was as calm as before. He had expected such a meeting, but the speed of the meeting was a little beyond his imagination.

Wang Xiao stood at the door with a smile on his face, and the graceful beauty behind him was truly radiant.

Jin Taize gestured for them to sit on the sofa opposite.

Wang Xiao smiled and nodded, and Jiaojiao followed him onto the sofa. Her permed and dyed flaxen curls cascaded down her beautiful back like a waterfall. She stood straight, her long, white legs pressed together and slightly tilted, her practiced posture showcasing her impressive curves. The sunlight streaming in through the window, illuminating her figure, added to her alluring grace. Finally, a faint, almost lingering smile made it impossible not to give this first impression a perfect score.

Jin Taize looked at Wang Xiao, then glanced at Jiaojiao, who was extremely charming beside her, and then looked back at Wang Xiao. He said calmly, "What can I do for you?"

"During my last phone call with Mr. Zhang after you acquired the school, I felt that you would definitely expand the school's scale and make it more influential after listening to his introduction. And judging by the development of the Shi Tian Group, your leadership and management philosophy have indeed given each of our teachers and staff strong confidence. As you saw from the reactions in the venue just now, the teachers were excited and excited to become a member of your team. I believe that everyone will work hard." Wang Xiao's social skills were fully demonstrated at this moment.

"I won't come here often, and I'm a layman in education. The real business management depends on you, Mr. Wang, to do it personally. I hope we can have a pleasant and tacit cooperation starting from today." Jin Taize crossed his hands on the desk and responded very modestly in an official manner.

Principal Wang smiled and said, "I certainly will. Please believe me, I will do my utmost to run the school well. So, regarding your statement at the meeting about funding a new teaching building..." Principal Wang deliberately added the words "at the meeting" to remind Jin Taize that he had spoken in front of the entire faculty and staff and absolutely could not break his promise so soon after taking over the school. It was also a hint that if he broke his promise, he, who had just taken office, would lose his prestige with the public. After all, this was a rare opportunity. It was the first time in such a long time that someone had promised to fund a teaching building, and Principal Wang would never pass up this golden opportunity.

After listening to Wang Xiao's insightful analysis, Jin Taize gave a summary answer, "I never say anything lightly, and of course I will never change it easily."

Wang Xiao was naturally very happy to hear such an answer, and he said a few flattering words again and again.

"But, as I said earlier, I'm a businessman. Every penny I invest needs to have value." Jin Taize was unimpressed by Wang Xiao's irrelevant remarks. Before Wang Xiao could finish, he said, "I want a business plan."

After Jin Taize explained the requirements of the proposal, Principal Wang realized that while the tree they were currently leaning against was large, its shade wasn't always so comfortable. The proposal required a budget for the entire project, blueprints for each floor, and the design and budget for specialized classrooms in addition to regular classrooms. The proposal also included a short-term estimate of the revenue generated by the new profit-generating source, and a long-term assessment of the impact on the school's reputation and influence, along with the potential for attracting international students. The proposal also included requirements such as the project's budget, floor plan, and budget.

Wang Xiao's expression shifted several times as she listened. Initial excitement gradually cooled. No wonder the Shi Tian Group had grown so impressively in recent years; it was truly inseparable from the young man before her. Watching this young man, barely thirty, meticulously and logically outline each requirement, each level so clearly laid out. Even details she, with decades of experience in education, had never considered, he spoke without hesitation, his flow and precision as if he'd done his homework. It didn't feel like their first discussion. As Jin Taize unleashed his ideas, Wang Xiao realized that while the Shi Tian Group possessed considerable financial resources, this investment wasn't easily secured. She also realized that "young talent" wasn't enough to describe Jin Taize's exceptional talent, surpassing his peers.

After half an hour of conversation, Jiaojiao, sitting nearby, was already growing impatient. Her beautiful poses barely garnered a glance from Jin Taize. Seeing her beloved second aunt trying her best to wring money from Jin Taize and secure sponsorship, only to be met with endless restrictions, she couldn't help but find it amusing. Because her second aunt had chosen a more distant approach than the one closest to her, didn't she know that China has a powerful, ancient strategy: the honey trap? It was because her second aunt had been constantly occupying Jin Taize's precious time discussing the boring expansion plan that Jin Taize hadn't had the time to shift his focus, wasting her valuable negotiating resources.

Thinking of this, she quietly reached behind Wang Xiao and tugged at her clothes. However, she still maintained her star-like pose for a photoshoot, listening to the conversation between the principal and the boss with a smile on her face.

Principal Wang paused, as if realizing something. "Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely prepare a plan as soon as possible," she said, her response to her boss's first assignment. However, she then changed the subject, "You're new here too, so I'm afraid you're not entirely familiar with the school's layout, environment, personnel, and campus culture. To help you grasp this information quickly, I've assigned you an assistant."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiaojiao, who was sitting next to him. Jiaojiao finally didn't have to be a prop anymore, so of course she had to make good use of this opportunity to show off. Her sparkling eyes seemed to contain secret legends, and her thin red lips were like a delicate peony, slowly blooming. She greeted Jin Taize with a graceful and gentle nod, "Hello, Mr. Jin! My name is Du Meijiao."
