Although Bai Jinghong wasn’t interested, he took the box, opened it, picked out a small pastry, and sniffed it.
Then, under Fan Ning’er’s expectant gaze, Bai Jinghong called out to an employee walking into the building.
“You, come here!”
The employee froze, then quickly ran over and said respectfully, “Young Master Bai…”
“Here, try this!” Bai Jinghong offered the box.
The employee was startled and quickly waved his hands, “No, no, I wouldn’t dare. Thank you, Young Master Bai, thank you!”
He wouldn’t dare eat it. He had just seen Fan Ning’er give it to him.
“You won’t eat it?” Bai Jinghong asked flatly.
The employee couldn’t gauge Bai Jinghong’s intent at that moment and still shook his head nervously.
“I wouldn’t dare, Young Master Bai, thank you…”
Bai Jinghong waved his hand, dismissing him.
The employee immediately hurried away, terrified of causing any trouble.
“Fan Ning’er, you saw it yourself. Even a dog wouldn’t eat these pastries you brought, yet you dared to give them to me?”
Employee: “????”
Fan Ning’er was also completely dumbfounded.
Bai Jinghong was deliberately humiliating her again.
But a man must bow under the eaves. Fan Ning’er truly regretted everything deeply.
Even if Bai Jinghong now smashed the pastries in her face, she could only smile apologetically.
Her fate was in someone else’s hands.
“Jinghong… I… I’m sorry…”
Fan Ning’er helplessly apologized.
“Enough, you think I don’t know you? Apologizing with your mouth, but cursing me in your heart.”
“Spit it out, what are you trying to get from me?”
Fan Ning’er felt a sharp pain in her heart.
It was really hard to imagine how the Bai Jinghong who used to love her so much had become so cold now.
If this were before, if she had given Bai Jinghong a box of pastries, he probably would have been happy for a week.
He might even have shown it off everywhere.
Memories are always illusory; thinking about those unrealistic things now was useless.
Money makes the man, just as lack of it breaks him. Though this saying describes men, Fan Ning’er felt the same way now.
She no longer cared about face at this moment.
Right under the covert gazes of onlookers, she pleaded with Bai Jinghong!
“Jinghong, I truly have no other options. Can you please help?”
Bai Jinghong curled his lip: “Still short on money, right?”
Fan Ning’er bit her lip and nodded heavily.
Seeing her willing to abandon her dignity, Bai Jinghong felt a pang of sympathy.
“Sigh…” Bai Jinghong sighed, helpless: “I really can’t do anything with you. Give me your phone!”
Fan Ning’er’s eyes lit up. Could he be about to help?
Was he going to note down her account number?
She didn’t dwell on it, hurriedly took her phone from her bag, unlocked it, and presented it to Bai Jinghong with both hands.
A moment later, Bai Jinghong handed the phone back to Fan Ning’er with an air of having saved a life.
“Here… I applied for an online loan for you. It’s a 150,000 limit. Use it sparingly!”
With these words, gasps erupted from those secretly watching! ! !
They’d seen many living Buddhas, but this was their first time seeing a living Hades!
But coming from Young Master Bai, this behavior seemed relatively normal.
Fan Ning’er’s smile froze on her face, the corner of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.
“No need to thank me. Don’t let those rude people look down on you!”
After saying this, Bai Jinghong even winked at Fan Ning’er before swaggering inside.
Seeing Bai Jinghong walk away, Fan Ning’er disregarded everything and chased after him.
She no longer had any inhibitions.
Saving the corporation and winning back Bai Jinghong was the most important thing.
Even if Bai Jinghong wanted to do that to her, she would accept it.
When Bai Jinghong entered the elevator, Fan Ning’er had already rushed in after him.
The elevator Bai Jinghong used was private, so it wasn’t crowded.
Only Bai Jinghong and Fan Ning’er were inside.
“I said, why do you have to do this?” Bai Jinghong’s smile was playful.
“Jinghong, please, don’t treat me like this. I…”
Fan Ning’er looked pitiful, a mist forming in her eyes.
She had truly severed her relationship with Chen Lin and could absolutely never go back.
But Bai Jinghong simply didn’t believe her.
“Fan Ning’er, I seldom go back on my words.”
“Either I take an eighty percent stake in your corporation, or you get acquired by me.”
Bai Jinghong didn’t budge an inch.
Before Fan Ning’er could speak, Bai Jinghong added: “Seeing you in this state now, I’ll give you one more option.”
Fan Ning’er looked up, eyes full of anticipation.
Bai Jinghong smiled faintly: “From now on, be my personal attendant. Serve me. Of course, the corporation will still be acquired. If you prove yourself, and can bear me a son later, the corporation will be transferred to our son’s name!”
Fan Ning’er was completely dumbfounded.
She still couldn’t accept such a drastic change.
Giving Bai Jinghong a son, transferring the corporation to their son—that was theoretically fine.
But being Bai Jinghong’s attendant, with no status or title, didn’t that just mean she would be a tool from now on?
The elevator climbed floor by floor, soon arriving at the Vice President’s floor.
Bai Jinghong completely ignored the stunned Fan Ning’er and walked out on his own.
Fan Ning’er still chased after him.
Bai Jinghong was running out of patience.
“Fan Ning’er, I’m warning you for the last time, my temper isn’t that good.”
“I’ve laid out the conditions. Agree if you’re willing, and if not, we simply have no ties. I won’t target the Fan Group anymore.”
“As for what happens to the Fan Group, it’s none of my concern. You can leave!”
Fan Ning’er shook her head, tears welling in her eyes.
She grabbed Bai Jinghong’s arm, pleading: “Jinghong, I’m willing to give you a son, but can you love me, love me like you did before?”
“Oh?” Bai Jinghong stopped and looked her over: “Trying to fight for a title?”
“I can love you, but I only like your body. Emotion-wise, forget it.”
“Of course, it’s not entirely without a chance. It depends on your own efforts. When this Young Master is in a good mood someday, it can still be discussed.”
“I…” Fan Ning’er felt she had never been so utterly humiliated.
All her dignity, her cultivation, gone without a trace.
She was like a concubine in the imperial harem, begging pitifully for the Emperor’s affection.
“Once you’ve thought it through, wait for me in the reception room. I’ll come by later!”
“If you’re unwilling, leave now. I won’t stop you. You can seek other ways out, or find some other powerful backer to save your corporation!”
Fan Ning’er knew perfectly well what Bai Jinghong wanted to do.
She released his hand, her heart entering a struggle.
Watching Bai Jinghong enter the CEO’s office without looking back, Fan Ning’er ultimately chose to bow her head.
After such a long period of torment, she had finally seen the light.
She had dug her own grave, walked herself toward the abyss.
And all of this, she would have to endure herself.
With a sigh, Fan Ning’er walked towards the reception room.
As she walked, she gently unbuttoned the collar of her blouse.
Today, she was destined to pay a price of “blood” for her past actions.
She only hoped Bai Jinghong would be gentler, cherish her a little more.
Fan Ning’er didn’t even dare to think about those past experiences anymore.
The more she thought, the more it tortured her.
Back in his office, Bai Jinghong plopped down in his executive chair and swung his legs onto the desk.
Regarding Fan Ning’er, Bai Jinghong indeed had no feelings left.
But that exquisite body, Bai Jinghong still wanted.
And according to what he’d just said, Fan Ning’er might truly be trying to bind herself to him.
Initially, he’d only demanded eighty percent equity or acquisition—a choice of two.
But the offer he’d just made was added onto the original terms, and now that was on top of it.
Yet Fan Ning’er actually agreed.
“A woman’s heart is a deep sea!”
