Strange in public! Trying to conceive in private! Pampered and kissed every night.

Sheng Tianjun stared blankly at the tutoring contract on the table.

A long silence followed.

He said, "This is not how things are going, as I expected."

Song Xinya looked at him with a playful expression: "What are you thinking?"

Sheng Tianjun thought that what she had just said to him was flirting.

Unexpectedly, the next second, she slammed the business contract on the table.

All she could think about was business.

Sheng Tianjun felt like he'd been doused with cold water, and said with dissatisfaction, "Teacher Song, the atmosphere was so good just now, why did you suddenly start talking to me about business?"

Song Xinya: "I work a 9-to-5 job during the day, and then I rush to your house after work to tutor you. Do you think I'm being selfless and selfless? Of course not, it's all for the money."

Sheng Tianjun: "Am I not as attractive as money?"

Song Xinya: "Of course not."

You're nothing compared to money!

Sheng Tianjun: "Teacher Song, you're being too direct. It's making me a little sad."

Song Xinya: "Young people need to experience the harsh realities of society to shatter their naivety, childishness, and filthy thoughts, and let them know what reality is."

She looked at him and said with a smile, "You should suffer early, experience deception, betrayal, and hurt, and go through all kinds of bad things. That's for the best."

Sheng Tianjun: "..."

He said, "I have no dirty thoughts; I am a very kind person."

Song Xinya: "Hehe."

Sheng Tianjun blinked, looking at Song Xinya with those gentle, innocent eyes, appearing particularly aggrieved: "Teacher Song, do you not like me?"

More than dislike, Song Xinya wanted to slap him across the face every time she saw him.

"I'm your tutor, and you're your student. I teach you your lessons, and you learn from me. It's a mutually beneficial relationship between us. Let's not talk about whether we like each other or not."

Sheng Tianjun realized that this Teacher Song was impervious to reason; she wouldn't listen to either soft or hard approaches.

For a moment, he felt a little lost.

"Teacher Song, what do I need to do to get you to look at me even once?"

Song Xinya tapped the contract with her fingers: "Sign!"

Sheng Tianjun picked up a pen and began writing on the contract.

Song Xinya's eyes were fixed on the tip of the pen in his hand.

Sheng Tianjun's pen landed on the signature area, and the words "Sheng Hetian" flew across the paper.

When writing the character "骏", the brushstroke suddenly stopped.

He put down his pen.

"Teacher Song, what if I sign this contract and then you run away?"

Song Xinya: "The Earth is only so big, where can I run to?"

Sheng Tianjun: "It ran into my heart."

Ugh—, Song Xinya almost threw up her dinner from the night before.

She had no desire to discuss love and romance with a mere child. In Song Xinya's eyes, Sheng Tianjun was an unfinished product, not even a man, and was categorized with monkeys and gorillas.

She steered the conversation to the main point: "There's only one word left. Will you sign the contract or not?"

Sheng Tianjun crossed his arms, looking superior and in control: "I won't sign."

Song Xinya smiled slightly: "It's fine if you don't sign..."

"I gave you three days of extra lessons, two hours each time. As an A-level instructor, I charge 200 yuan per minute. Three days, six hours, 360 minutes, that's 72,000 yuan."

She reached out her hand: "Pay up!"

She's fine with not signing a contract, but she won't take a penny less of the money she's owed!

"What, you don't want to pay? That violates labor laws, kid. If you dare not pay, I'll call the police."

The other party did give him a real lesson, and it was very good. He learned a lot of knowledge from it.

The key point is that even if Sheng Tianjun wants to renege on his debt, if the other party really calls the police, he will still have to pay up when the police arrive.

Sheng Tianjun took out his phone and transferred 72,000 yuan to Song Xinya.

Song Xinya took the money, put the contract back into her briefcase, turned around neatly, and walked out.

Sheng Tianjun watched her retreating figure and said, "Teacher Song, may I offer you a small, albeit immature, suggestion?"

Song Xinya: "Since this suggestion is not mature enough, let's not mention it."

Damn it, he didn't even sign a contract, yet he wants to give her advice? Does he even deserve it?!

Sheng Tianjun glanced at Song Xinya's long clothes and trousers, which covered her up completely, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his expression.

"Teacher Song, next time you come to see me, dress more sexily."

Song Xinya smiled coldly: "Don't worry, you won't have the chance to see me again."

Sheng Tianjun looked at the woman walking out with a puzzled expression. What did she mean by that? Was she never going to come and teach him again?

He offered the highest tutoring fees. She hadn't even gotten a taste of this lucrative opportunity yet, so why would she give up on coming back?

A confident smile appeared on Sheng Tianjun's face. She was reluctant to leave, and she would definitely come again tomorrow.

Song Xinya did not come the next day.

On the third day, Song Xinya still did not come.

On the fourth day, Song Xinya still didn't come.

On the fifth day, Sheng Tianjun panicked.

He proactively called Song Xinya: "Teacher Song, why haven't you been tutoring me these past few days?"

Song Xinya: "Did you sign a contract with me? So you're asking me to tutor you?"

Sheng Tianjun was speechless.

After a short while, he said, "Just like before, no contract. You tutor me for two hours every day, and I'll pay you for those two hours."

Song Xinya: "Paying money one time at a time is much less than paying in a contract. I'm not stupid. I won't do something that only benefits you and hurts me."

Sheng Tianjun was speechless again.

Song Xinya: "If you have something to report, please do so. If not, the court is adjourned. I am very busy."

Sheng Tianjun: "What are you busy with?"

Song Xinya: "Busy teaching the next senior high school boy."

Sheng Tianjun looked flustered and felt extremely uneasy.

He wanted to say something more, but Song Xinya abruptly hung up the phone.

"Teacher Song, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Chen Siyan glided over on his chair, then slammed his feet on the ground and came to a steady stop.

Song Xinya: "Sheng Tianjun".

Chen Siyan: "Twenty days have passed, why are you still keeping an eye on this client?"

Song Xinya: "It's not that the contract wasn't signed."

Hurried footsteps sounded as a deliveryman entered the company: "The delivery is here, sixty cups of coffee."

Dong Dongdong quickly stood up: "Mine, I ordered it."

One of the colleagues joked, "It's only been a few days, and Teacher Dong is treating us to coffee again. Did he win 300 million in the lottery?"

"No way, winning 300 million in the lottery only happens in dreams. The fact is, Teacher Dong has signed another contract."

"Damn, that's awesome."

"Ms. Dong's performance is already second in the whole company. If she closes another deal, it will be incredible. She might even steal Manager Chen's title as the top salesperson."

Chen Siyan: "Grab it, grab it, hurry up and take away the title of top salesperson. It's been around my neck for five years, and it's given me cervical spondylosis. Whoever has the ability can take it away quickly, so that I can finally relax and be carefree."

Dong Dongdong walked over with two cups of coffee and placed one of them in Chen Siyan's hand: "Iced shaken oat latte."

Chen Siyan's favorite coffee.

Dong Dongdong: "Manager Chen, don't listen to those people's nonsense. Your business skills are like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, while I am the Black Bear Spirit. You could kill me with one blow. How can I compare to you? I have no ability to take your sales champion title away."

He turned to face Song Xinya and handed her another cup of coffee: "Iced Osmanthus Latte."

Song Xinya's favorite coffee.

Dong Dongdong: "Teacher Song, you flatter me."

He was meticulous in his words and actions, showing off his signed deals to the entire company while also taking care of the feelings of his competitors, Chen Siyan and Song Xinya, leaving no room for criticism.

In fact, he didn't do anything wrong.

There's only one spot for a gold medal lecturer, and everyone wants to be chosen.

A promotion and raise opportunity is right in front of you; everyone wants it.

His desire to win is the same as Song Xinya's.

Previously ranked third in performance, Dong Dongdong felt that he was just a foil for Song Xinya and Chen Siyan.

Things are different now. He is the second best performer in the entire company, surpassing Song Xinya. Dong Dongdong is full of ambition, feeling that he can compete with Song Xinya and Chen Siyan. Perhaps in the end, he will be the one to be awarded the gold medal lecturer.

Thinking about all this made Dong Dongdong even happier and more excited.

He walked into Zhao Yinian's office with a cup of coffee in his hand: "Mr. Zhao, here's a caramel macchiato for you."

Zhao Yinian smiled happily: "Teacher Dong has such a good memory, she remembers that I like to drink caramel macchiato."

"Teacher Dong's performance has improved very quickly recently. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."

Dong Dongdong: "Thank you for your affirmation, General Manager Zhao. It's all thanks to your excellent leadership."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yinian's smile widened.

Dong Dongdong walked into the hall, and Zhao Yinian followed him out.

When Dong Dongdong walked up to Song Xinya, Zhao Yinian said, "The selection of the gold medal lecturer is like a motorcycle race. Until the very last second, no one knows who the winner will be."

"Just like Teacher Song, who had always held the second place in performance, but who knew that Teacher Dong would suddenly sign two big deals and become the second place in the company's performance."

"Teacher Song, please work harder and stop running around all day doing nothing but frivolous things."

It's true that Song Xinya goes out, but it's for work and performance. Zhao Yinian's casual remark negates all of Song Xinya's efforts, making it sound like Song Xinya sneaks out to play every day.

Song Xinya wasn't one to keep quiet, so of course she wouldn't let her throw dirty water on her. Even if she was a company leader, she couldn't let her insult you.

Everyone has the right to defend their dignity.

Song Xinya argued, "Mr. Zhao, every time I go out during work hours, it's to meet with clients. I keep detailed records of their names, times, and locations. If you don't believe me, you can call the clients to verify."

Zhao Yinian: "You go out so many times, and every time you call the client to verify, how could I have that kind of time?"

Song Xinya: "So you didn't even verify it, so what makes you say I'm not doing my job properly?"

Zhao Yinian's lips twitched.

Chen Siyan: "That's right, President Zhao, I know you're straightforward, but you can't just poop out of your mouth, can you?"

Zhao Yinian, feeling embarrassed by Song Xinya's counterattack, turned her attention to Chen Siyan: "Why do you care so much? Do you taste the manure every time a manure truck passes by your house?"

Chen Siyan: "Huh? How did you know?"

Zhao Yinian: "..."

Chen Siyan: "Since you know so much about this, it seems you're a manure enthusiast, just like me."

Zhao Yinian: "...Are you crazy?!"

Chen Siyan: "You really are just like me, you grew up eating feces, you even know I'm crazy."

Zhao Yinian's stomach problems were about to flare up from his chaotic and indiscriminate fighting style.

"I heard AI face-swapping is all the rage lately, Chen Siyan, how about trying to switch your mouth to a mute mode?"

Chen Siyan: "That won't do. If I become mute, there will be no one in the company to argue with you. You'll be so lonely."

Zhao Yinian: "Do you think I care about your foul mouth?"

Chen Siyan: "I quite like your foul mouth. It's not easy to meet a fellow patient who likes to eat feces. I'll cherish you as I go."

Zhao Yinian felt a churning in her stomach, ran to the toilet, and vomited repeatedly while hugging the toilet bowl.

After vomiting, she walked out clutching her stomach. Passing by Song Xinya, she said, "The selection of gold medal lecturers is based on ability. If your performance is poor and you can't convince the public, no matter how eloquent you are, you won't be selected as a gold medal lecturer."

At the company entrance, Dong Dongdong walked out with a backpack on his back.

Zhao Yinian asked enthusiastically in a loud voice, "Teacher Dong, where are you going?"

Dong Dongdong: "Going to see the client."

Zhao Yinian turned to look at Song Xinya and said with a smile, "Looks like Teacher Dong is going to sign another contract."

Song Xinya looked at her calmly: "You're not the one getting the commission, so what are you happy about?"

Zhao Yinian: "I'm happy for Teacher Dong."

She's happy as long as someone defeats Song Xinya.

The moment she stepped into the office, Chen Siyan called out, "President Zhao, be careful! The weather forecast says it will hail in some areas today, and it'll hit big-headed idiots like you."

Zhao Yinian slammed the door shut: "Get lost, this is so annoying."

Chen Siyan turned his gaze to Song Xinya: "Teacher Song, I'm really worried about you right now. Dong Dongdong is on a roll. If you can't close some deals soon, you really won't be able to become a gold medal lecturer."

"Take my advice, don't even think about signing Sheng Tianjun as a client anymore. That guy has been lying dormant on the VIP client list for five or six years. You can imagine how difficult he is to deal with."

"Don't be fooled by the high tutoring fees he offers. The time and effort he spends to sign one client is enough to sign three or four clients. Overall, it's not cost-effective."

"Now is the crucial moment for the gold medal lecturer competition. Put everything else aside for now and focus on signing those two easy clients that Brother Yan gave you."

His words were earnest and heartfelt.

Song Xinya listened attentively and replied, "Brother Yan, I feel like I can sign Sheng Tianjun."

Chen Siyan: "Why are you so stubborn, like a little donkey?"

Song Xinya: "It's not that I'm being stubborn, I genuinely believe that I can sign Sheng Tianjun."

Chen Siyan: "Okay, okay, okay, you can sign Sheng Tianjun. By the time you sign him, the selection of the gold medal lecturers will be over."

Song Xinya: "Brother Yan, what I mean is, I can sign Sheng Tianjun today."

Chen Siyan: "Child, you have a fever, and you're starting to talk nonsense."

"Is Teacher Song here?"

A young male voice came from the company entrance.

Chen Siyan looked up at the person who had just arrived: "Who are you?"

The visitor said, "I am Sheng Tianjun, and I am here to sign a tutoring contract with teacher Song Xinya."

Chen Siyan was stunned: "Holy crap!!!"
