Chapter 5

As everyone knows, when a person is rendered speechless, they laugh.

Shi Jin finally turned to look at me.

Then he saw the smile on my face.

The person who had just been keeping such a distance from me, as if avoiding suspicion, suddenly strode right up to me.

“Cui Yuntan, are you really that desperate?”

“Just because I haven’t come to see you for a month, you went and found that kind of man?”

I wanted to say that Zhou Xi was not that kind of man.

But I could not say it.

He was exactly that kind of man.

Shi Jin, the poor campus heartthrob who feared no power or wealth, actually reddened around the eyes.

“Do you know how dirty that kind of man is?”

Shi Jin’s voice was loud.

He grabbed my wrist, losing control like this for the first time.

It seemed he was afraid I had truly caught some dirty disease.

The glass on the table crashed to the floor.

There was a knock outside the door. Secretary Wang said, “CEO Cui, do you need me to come in?”

Shi Jin was still chattering on.

“Cui Yuntan, you don’t have to degrade yourself like this just to make me jealous…”

I raised my voice. “Come in.”

Secretary Wang entered with two bodyguards, each one about one meter ninety tall.

The bodyguards immediately separated Shi Jin from me.

They stood on either side of him, ready to stop him from suddenly hurting me.

Shi Jin looked at me in disbelief.

I looked at Shi Jin with a half-smile.

“Who allowed you to speak to me with that attitude?”

Perhaps, as a sponsor, I really had been too tolerant.

So tolerant that he had become confused about the relationship between us.

Shi Jin’s face turned abruptly pale.

He had never imagined I would speak to him this way.

He pressed his lips together and said, “We are equals…”

I did not even want to hear that kind of talk.

“If we are so equal, why don’t I see you giving me three hundred thousand a month?”

Shi Jin was left speechless.

I raised an eyebrow. “If you take the money, do your job properly. You didn’t.”

It seemed he had never heard me speak so bluntly before. For a moment, his eyes widened in shock.

I could not be bothered with him and got up to leave.

Shi Jin tried to follow, but the bodyguards stopped him behind me.

I walked quickly.

Behind me, Secretary Wang took back from Shi Jin the card for my private elevator and said,

“Mr. Shi, please make an appointment before coming to see CEO Cui next time.”
