Chapter 368

It was only after Reba revealed that Qin Feng had acquired shares in Jiaxing and provided a ten-million interest-free loan,

that Tian Ai finally felt Qin Feng was someone she could choose and trust.

Therefore, after Reba left again,

Tian Ai returned to the office, feeling deeply uneasy.

She then knelt directly before Qin Feng, begging for his salvation...

At this moment,

looking at the thin, pale face of Tian Ai kneeling before him,

Qin Feng let out a soft sigh.

Qin Feng was not a bleeding heart; he wouldn't save just anyone who came begging on their knees.

However,

the Tian Ai before him looked so frail and pitiful that it truly tugged at his heartstrings.

Thus,

Qin Feng spoke up: "Tian Ai, twenty million is nothing to me, but I don't want to be a bleeding heart. So, have you thought about how you're going to pay this money back?"

"I..."

Tian Ai looked up at Qin Feng. He was radiant, handsome, and possessed an unparalleled aura; she couldn't help but be completely captivated by him.

Consequently,

Tian Ai bit her lip and prepared to reach out to unzip her clothes.

Seeing this, Qin Feng shook his head speechlessly and smiled faintly: "Don't move, Tian Ai. If you dare to unzip your clothes, I won't give you a single cent!"

...

"Tian Ai, if you dare to unzip your clothes, I won't give you a single cent!"

Qin Feng's words left Tian Ai feeling flustered and bewildered.

She cast a confused glance at Qin Feng,

then quickly pulled her clothes tight and asked cautiously while looking at him: "Qin Feng, then what should I do?"

"Uh..."

Qin Feng smiled slightly and shook his head helplessly.

Tian Ai, oh Tian Ai, at a time like this, shouldn't you be proactively offering to sell yourself to me, signing a long-term contract with Jiaxing or my other media company, and slowly paying it back with your earnings?

Why do I have to spell these things out for you? Are you really that clueless?

Seeing Qin Feng smile without answering,

Tian Ai blinked, her expression suddenly turning pained. She looked at Qin Feng and said cautiously: "Qin Feng, my legs... my legs are numb. Can I stand up for a moment before kneeling again?"

During this period, Tian Ai had been suffering from severe sleep deprivation and malnutrition. The short time she had spent kneeling had exhausted her strength, leaving her dizzy and numb, so she had no choice but to beg Qin Feng for mercy.

Hearing this, Qin Feng shook his head, got off the swing, and helped Tian Ai up.

As soon as she stood up, Tian Ai felt dizzy, seeing stars before her eyes, and couldn't help but cling tightly to Qin Feng.

After a few seconds,

once the dizziness had subsided slightly,

her legs were truly so numb they had no sensation at all.

Tian Ai had to lean her entire body weight against Qin Feng just to keep from falling over.

Even so,

Tian Ai still felt embarrassed and helpless.

She whispered apologies repeatedly: "Qin Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but they're really numb and I can't move. I'm sorry..."

"It's nothing."

Qin Feng replied calmly and picked Tian Ai up with one hand.

Then, Qin Feng looked at her with surprise.

Judging by her height, Tian Ai was over 1.6 meters, but holding her with one hand, she felt like she weighed less than 80 pounds—even lighter than Qu Xiaoxiao.

For a woman 1.6 meters tall to weigh less than 80 pounds was a cruel statistic, so cruel that Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

From this, it was clear,

that the days Tian Ai spent imprisoned by her old company were truly pitch-black.

After placing Tian Ai on the swing,

Qin Feng sighed softly and finally relented: "Tian Ai, I can lend you the money in my personal capacity, but the prerequisite is that you must sign a long-term cooperation contract of about ten years with Jiaxing or another agency under my name."

"Ten years..."

Tian Ai hesitated upon hearing this; after all, her previous company had done the same, demanding a ten-year contract right from the start, only to show their true colors after she signed.

Seeing this, Qin Feng didn't force her, just smiled faintly.

After a while,

Tian Ai looked up and gazed at Qin Feng earnestly: "Qin Feng, I only have one request: you won't abuse me, is that okay?"

As she said this,

Tian Ai's expression was miserable, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.

She looked like a young beast that had been hurt repeatedly but was still trying to trust humans, making one feel an involuntary sense of pity.

Looking at Tian Ai's miserable and sorrowful expression,

Qin Feng sighed softly and said: "Okay, Tian Ai. Neither I nor anyone else in the company will abuse you."

"Then, that's good."

Having received Qin Feng's affirmative answer, Tian Ai gathered her courage, nodded, and looked at Qin Feng: "Then let's sign for ten years. I want to get away from them as soon as possible, and I want to act again."

"Good. I'll have my company talk to yours about the twenty-million termination fee. From today on, stay at Jiaxing; Honey will take good care of you."

Qin Feng replied.

Just then, Reba pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a bag.

Seeing Tian Ai sitting on the swing chatting with Qin Feng,

Reba softened her footsteps as she approached, and only when she was close did she smile and say: "Tian Ai, Qin Feng, I'm back."

"Reba, you're back."

A trace of a smile finally appeared on Tian Ai's face. She jumped off the swing, hugged Reba tightly, and said: "Reba, thank you. Qin Feng has agreed to lend me the money and help me resolve the situation with my company."

"You're welcome."

Reba replied with a smile. She knew Qin Feng would agree, because in Reba's eyes, Qin Feng was a good man who could truly be trusted.

Seeing Tian Ai and Reba hugging,

Qin Feng smiled calmly and said: "Alright, Reba, take Tian Ai to see Honey for an audition in a while. I'm going out to meet Tian Ai's old company. Oh, and tell Honey to prepare a draft of a long-term contract for Tian Ai."

"Mhm, okay, I understand, Qin Feng."

Reba nodded obediently, noted down what Qin Feng said, and then asked: "Is there anything else you need me to do, Qin Feng?"

"Oh, right."

Qin Feng smiled at Tian Ai: "Remember to tell Honey, the contract must include a clause stating that under any pretext or by any means, our side guarantees that Tian Ai will not be subjected to any form of abuse!"

Hearing this, Tian Ai shyly hid her head on Reba's shoulder.

Reba smiled and led Tian Ai toward the lounge inside the office...

Walking out of the office,

Qin Feng dialed Andy's number. After chatting casually for a few moments, he brought up Tian Ai's situation.

Then,

Andy's voice was clearly filled with anger: "Qin Feng, I don't want to talk about money with that company; I want to destroy it!"

"Mhm, that's fine."

Qin Feng replied with a smile: "Andy, do whatever makes you happy."

"Alright, Qin Feng. Come to the company headquarters in a bit; I want to understand the specifics of Tian Ai's situation first, and then we'll talk to her company about these matters."

"Good."

Qin Feng replied, took the elevator to the underground garage,

and just as he started his Rolls-Royce Cullinan,
