Da Mimi thought that if she were casually polite, Qin Feng would definitely say he had already eaten.

But at this moment, Qin Feng nodded and said: "As it happens, we haven't eaten either, so let's eat something together."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Da Mimi looked at the two portions of breakfast on the table somewhat awkwardly.

Reba blinked and immediately pushed her breakfast toward Qin Feng very thoughtfully, then said happily: "Eat mine, Qin Feng, you eat mine."

Da Mimi was helpless and could only look at Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun and ask: "Suosuo, Nansun, what do you want to eat? I'll have the front desk go buy two more portions."

"Anything is fine, Sister Mi, we're both fine."

Zhu Suosuo responded with a smile, pulling the somewhat embarrassed Jiang Nansun to sit directly beside Qin Feng.

Da Mimi smiled helplessly.

Just as she walked to her desk and picked up the phone, preparing to call the front desk,

the office door was suddenly pushed open.

And then,

Tian Ai, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, walked into the office, saying with an apologetic look: "Sorry, sorry, is this the 'Vanishing Her' project team? I'm here to audition!"

"Tian Ai?"

Seeing Tian Ai walking in quickly, Qin Feng smiled.

Isn't this the White Fox Face from "Snow Sword Stride"? Why is she here to audition too? ...

…….

Tian Ai, a well-known actress in Great Xia.

Although compared to Da Mimi and Reba, Tian Ai's status is a bit lower.

However, Tian Ai has still appeared in quite a few works and left behind several screen images that left a deep impression on the audience.

As of now, what the audience likes the most should be the White Fox Face, Nangong Pushe, played by Tian Ai in "Snow Sword Stride," and it even left behind the classic comment: "In the end, Nangong was moved, and there are no more 'Nineteen Stops' in the world"...

Like an actor who has appeared in multiple film and television works and also has her own representative works,

the projects she participates in are all negotiated by her company.

At the very least, it would be her agent coming to Jiaxing to talk about these things first.

But now,

Tian Ai not only pushed open Da Mimi's office door all by herself, but her expression also seemed somewhat panicked, which surprised Qin Feng, Da Mimi, and the others.

And after Qin Feng recognized Tian Ai,

he asked directly with a smile: "Tian Ai, why did you come by yourself? Doesn't the company handle audition matters?"

"..."

Tian Ai hesitated for a moment, looked at Qin Feng, then walked straight to Qin Feng and looked at the breakfast in front of him, saying: "I'm so hungry, can I eat?"

So hungry?

Qin Feng was somewhat surprised.

Da Mimi, Reba, Zhu Suosuo, and Jiang Nansun were also all puzzled.

Seeing Qin Feng still hesitating,

Tian Ai even picked up the breakfast in front of Qin Feng directly, and without caring about her image at all, used her hands to stuff the breakfast into her mouth.

That wolf-like devouring look was as if she hadn't eaten for more than ten days.

Seeing this, Qin Feng felt somewhat amazed, so he looked at Da Mimi not far away.

Da Mimi shook her head in response to Qin Feng's gaze, indicating that she didn't know the situation either.

This breakfast wasn't much.

Tian Ai stuffed it into her stomach in two or three bites, and then began to hiccup.

Seeing this, Qin Feng picked up the mineral water beside him and handed it to Tian Ai.

Tian Ai didn't even have time to say thank you, directly opening the mineral water and pouring it into her mouth.

Looking at Tian Ai like this, it seemed like she had been hungry for many days.

Qin Feng simply took the breakfast Da Mimi hadn't finished and handed it directly to Tian Ai.

Tian Ai glanced at Qin Feng, finally said the two words "thank you," and then picked up Da Mimi's breakfast and started eating it directly...

Seeing this, Da Mimi knew that Tian Ai must have encountered something.

So, she picked up the phone and called the front desk: "Hello, help us buy six portions of breakfast and send them to the office. Also, temporarily push today's interviews back by two hours. If there are any changes, I'll notify you."

Hanging up the phone,

Da Mimi came to Qin Feng's side, carefully looked at Tian Ai's current state, and then whispered into Qin Feng's ear: "Qin Feng, the situation is not right. Tian Ai looks like she has been abused for a long time..."

"Hmm, let's wait for her to finish eating first."

Qin Feng responded, watching Tian Ai finish Da Mimi's breakfast in a few quick bites, then opened another bottle of mineral water and handed it to Tian Ai.

"Thank you."

This time, Tian Ai's voice finally became a bit clearer.

After drinking this bottle of water down in gulps again,

Tian Ai finally let out a long sigh, then looked at Da Mimi and said directly: "Mi Mi, if I pass the interview and participate in your film project for free, can you find a way to sign me to Jiaxing?"

Hmm? Tian Ai wants to jump ship?

Da Mimi looked at Qin Feng again, puzzled.

Then she pulled Tian Ai to sit down and asked tentatively: "Tian Ai, what happened? Can you talk to me about it?"

"I..."

Hearing this, Tian Ai hesitated. Seeing that Qin Feng, Jiang Nansun, and Zhu Suosuo were all unfamiliar faces, she hesitated for a moment, then shook her head very cautiously and whispered: "Mi Mi, I can't say it here..."

"Hmm, okay, then come with me, let's go to the lounge."

Da Mimi nodded and pulled Tian Ai into the lounge inside the office.

Half an hour later,

Da Mimi walked out of the lounge and looked at Qin Feng, saying: "Qin Feng, accompany me for a walk?"

"Okay."

At this point, Qin Feng had already finished the breakfast sent by the front desk, so he stood up and brought two donuts for Da Mimi.

Seeing this, Da Mimi felt a warmth in her heart.

Then she pushed open the office door and led Qin Feng to the company's reception room.

The reception room was empty at this moment.

Da Mimi found a seat by the window, sat down, and looked quietly out the window.

Qin Feng walked over and handed the donut to Da Mimi.

Da Mimi took the donut, took a bite, and then shook her head helplessly: "So bitter."

"Hmm?"

Qin Feng was somewhat confused.

Da Mimi smiled helplessly: "Qin Feng, the life of an artist is truly bitter, really."

"Just now in the lounge, Tian Ai told me that she hasn't eaten or slept for nearly a week, and the reason for all this is because Tian Ai wanted to terminate her contract with her former company."

"Tian Ai, like me, was forced by the company to sign a long-term contract as soon as she debuted, and then she started auditioning and filming under the company's arrangements, becoming a money-making tool for the company."

"It's just that Tian Ai's company is a bit more ruthless than other brokerage companies."

"Over these years, Tian Ai has appeared in more than a dozen TV dramas and movies, earning at least one or two hundred million in acting fees for the company. However, what Tian Ai actually got into her own hands was less than one-tenth. After paying taxes, there were only a few million left."

"Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, a few million is already very wealthy, but Tian Ai is an actor, and an actor with a certain degree of fame. Her remuneration and her status, as well as her efforts, simply cannot be proportional."

"Two years ago, didn't Tian Ai become popular again after acting in 'Snow Sword Stride'? And then it just so happened that Tian Ai's contract was about to expire, so the company gave Tian Ai a high-paying opportunity, which was rare, intending to continue to have Tian Ai renew her contract with them. As a result, Tian Ai didn't agree, and she was directly shelved by the company..."

"For more than a year, Tian Ai had no roles to play, but she still had to be controlled by the company every day. In order to make Tian Ai continue to renew her contract with them, Tian Ai's company not only restricted her personal freedom but even controlled her mobile phone and computer directly. Even when Tian Ai chatted with her family on WeChat, the agent had to carefully review Tian Ai's chat records..."

"Although Tian Ai was bitter, she also knew that the bitter days were coming to an end. As long as she survived the final date of the contract renewal with the company, Tian Ai could become a free person. Calculating the date, it's just these few days."

"And then, Qin Feng, do you know what Tian Ai's company did to Tian Ai?! They are truly too shameless, truly too excessive!..."

……corpse.
