Chapter 413: The Plan Goes Smoothly, Welcome To Jump Ship
Ai Tingya stood outside the crowd and watched every move in the crowd while Luo Feng was speaking on stage.
She realized that many people immediately understood what Luo Feng meant. Some of them looked a little hesitant, while others looked around to look in the opposite direction. There were not many people who acted immediately like Elektra and her best friend.
Hence, Ai Tingya naturally had to give her a chance at the right time.
"h.e.l.lo, how can I help you?" Ai Tingya smiled.
When she was suddenly stopped by someone, her best friend felt guilty as if she had been caught red-handed. She took two steps back. When she saw that it was President Luo"s wife, her best friend felt relieved again.
It seemed that she did not misunderstand.
"h.e.l.lo." Her best friend tidied her hair. "I"m a little tired from standing. I want to find a place to sit."
"This way, please," Ai Tingya said.
The two of them slowly distanced themselves from the crowd with an unspoken mutual understanding.
"Speaking of which, your skin texture is so good. It"s even tenderer than a peeled egg." Her best friend complimented her, but it was actually what she was thinking. "Can I add you as a friend? I want to ask you about skin care methods."
"Sure." Ai Tingya took out her phone and showed her a QR code.
Her best friend was overjoyed and scanned it. When she saw the profile picture clearly, her best friend smiled even more happily. The account avatar was a selfie of Yang Tianzhen. Her online name was "Quite a Weight Loss blogger"s manager."
"Thank you." Her best friend put away her phone.
"Just ask him if you have any questions." Ai Tingya bowed slightly. "I wish you a pleasant evening."
After a few words, the two of them returned to their seats.
Ai Tingya was still looking for someone who needed "help." Her best friend returned to Elektra"s side and made an "OK" gesture.
She showed Elektra the results of her labor. "It"s indeed what we thought. We can talk soon."
"That"s great." Elektra held her phone as if it was a treasure. "I can finally get rid of that annoying boss!"
In the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet hall, many people revealed expressions similar to Elektra"s, as if they had found a treasure, but most of them were anxious and regretful.
Luo Feng stood on the stage and saw everything clearly.
Most people signed contracts with companies for five or ten years. Many of them had just started. It was obviously impossible to jump ship immediately.
Luo Feng had no intention of interfering.
He had helped Xiaochun and the others pay the penalty because they were incapable of paying themselves. The people in the banquet hall were different. They had already made a lot of money and could pay the price if they really wanted to join the Innovative Artist Company.
Soon, the banquet ended.
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya stood at the door and bade farewell to the guests one after another. When the banquet hall was empty, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Ai Tingya kicked off her high heels and sat down to rub her sore ankle. "I haven"t stood for so long in a long time. I"m so tired."
After Luo Feng vaguely expressed his goal, Ai Tingya kept running around the venue and exchanging chatting methods with interested people. She completed three days of exercise in one night.
Seeing this, Luo Feng squatted in front of her and gently raised Ai Tingya"s foot to place it on his leg. He ma.s.saged her ankle skillfully.
"Sigh." Ai Tingya felt that it was not good to be in public and hurriedly wanted to retract her foot.
Luo Feng held her feet and did not give her a chance. He smiled and said, "Didn"t you say that you"re not feeling well? I"ll ma.s.sage you."
Ai Tingya looked around. There was no one around, but she was still shy. She blushed and said, "It"s dirty. It"s not good if someone sees us. Let go of me quickly."
"No." Luo Feng"s hand caressed every inch of Ai Tingya"s skin. The pressure was just right.
Shyness and comfort mixed together. Ai Tingya bit her lip and looked at Luo Feng affectionately.
After 10 minutes, Ai Tingya held Luo Feng"s hand and said, "Alright, let"s go back quickly. Otherwise, Grandpa and Mom will nag again."
Luo Feng recalled that the two parents had even set a curfew for them and smiled helplessly.
Just as Ai Tingya was about to get up, Luo Feng happened to get up and carried the limp Ai Tingya on his back. Then, he grabbed Ai Tingya"s legs from both sides and carried her on his back.
The sudden weightlessness made Ai Tingya instinctively hug Luo Feng"s neck, and the two of them clung to each other.
"Put me down. What would I look like if someone saw me?" Ai Tingya swung her legs and found it quite interesting. "I"m wearing a dress today."
"I"ve checked it. It won"t be exposed," Luo Feng said. "Hold me obediently. Otherwise, I won"t care if you fall." He used the tone of coaxing a child.
Ai Tingya had no choice but to hug Luo Feng and bury her face in his shoulder.
Just like that, Luo Feng carried Ai Tingya along the corridor and pa.s.sed through the lobby. The hotel waiters were used to it and were all busy with their own matters.
The two of them seemed to have a unique silence that belonged to each other. The noisy crowd would definitely not affect them.
When she reached the door, her family"s car was parked there.
Mother Luo sat in the driver"s seat, and Professor Ai sat in the front pa.s.senger seat. The two of them were like parents picking up their children from school, their eyes fixed on the entrance without moving.
When they saw Luo Feng carrying Ai Tingya out, their expressions darkened.
Ai Zhaojiang unbuckled her seatbelt and ran down. "Tingya, what"s wrong? Are you injured?"
Mother Luo pulled the two of them and looked left and right. She said anxiously, "Did you sprain your ankle? I told you not to wear such high heels. Aiya."
The two of them were so anxious that Ai Tingya, who was only tired, was too embarra.s.sed to look up.
"She was too tired and fell asleep," Luo Feng said.
He chuckled. He originally wanted to show that he was very reliable, but he received questioning looks from Ai Zhaojiang and Mother Luo.
Luo Feng"s smile froze on his face. Then, he heard his mother say, "Little Feng, didn"t we tell you before you left? Don"t let Tingya be too tired."
"Er… Yeah…" Luo Feng"s heart skipped a beat.
Ai Zhaojiang"s heart ached. "She"s so tired that she fell asleep. Let"s go home first."
"Grandpa is right!" Luo Feng hurriedly replied.
If he didn"t leave quickly, he would be reprimanded again.
The four of them got into the car. Luo Feng sat in the back. Ai Tingya leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes without moving.
"I almost got scolded again," Luo Feng muttered softly for Ai Tingya to hear.
The corners of Ai Tingya"s lips curled up imperceptibly. She did not open her eyes or speak. Since Luo Feng said that she was asleep, she was sleeping soundly now.
"Say something." Luo Feng shook it gently. "Don"t tell me you"re really asleep."
He lowered his head and looked at the little girl"s mischievous lips.
She was secretly gloating when she heard that he was being scolded.
"Alright, I"ll teach you a lesson when I get back," Luo Feng said softly.
"Xiao Feng!" Mother Luo, who was driving, said in a low voice, "What are you whispering about? Don"t disturb Tingya!"
Ai Zhaojiang, who was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, also looked at him reproachfully.
Fine!
Luo Feng accepted his fate. In any case, he was at the bottom of the food chain in this family!
