As Su Qingxue looked at the scene inside the cave, her mind went blank for a moment.

Under the flickering firelight, Lin Fan, the lowly intern at the company who didn't even dare to look her in the eye and earned a meager salary of three thousand yuan a month, was now sitting confidently by the warm fire.

At his feet, Liu Feifei, the nation's first love who wielded immense influence in the Chinese entertainment industry and was known for her aloofness and pride, was lying naked in his arms.

This visually striking scene shattered the class consciousness and moral bottom line that Su Qingxue had built up over the past twenty years!

"Lin Fan...you...how dare you..."

Su Qingxue's voice trembled violently, whether from shock or coldness. She pointed at Liu Feifei, then at Lin Fan, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

When Liu Feifei heard the noise and looked up to see that it was Su Qingxue, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

If this woman dies on the island today, that's one thing, but if she manages to return alive, the scene of me bowing and scraping before Lin Fan tonight, even going so far as to sell my body, will become a fatal handle in Su Qingxue's hands.

That little girl named Song Ya is easy to deal with, but Su Qingxue is someone she can't shut up.

In that case, the best solution is to drag this high-and-mighty CEO into this filthy quagmire as well.

"Oh, Mr. Su, what brings you up here at this hour?" Liu Feifei not only didn't try to hide herself, but instead deliberately snuggled closer to Lin Fan, wrapping her arms around his waist and glancing sideways at Su Qingxue.

"Is it cold outside? I could hear the waves crashing against the rocks from the cave entrance just now. The sound was like a death knell."

"Don't try to hold on. That expensive swimsuit must be uncomfortable sticking to your body. I saw it with my own eyes. You were so irritated by the toxic fumes down there that you couldn't even straighten your back."

"Come in, President Su. This fire is so warm, and Brother Lin Fan has some meat and clean bottled water. Just give me the nod and shed that useless CEO air, and this place will be paradise. Look at me, I'm not cold at all, and my stomach is full."

"Anyway, there's no one else here, no cameras, no bodyguards, and no annoying fans. Who would know you're a billionaire CEO here? We're all women; being alive... isn't that more important than anything else?"

Su Qingxue was disgusted to the extreme by Liu Feifei's shameless behavior. Her stomach churned, and the physical revulsion made her gag.

"Liu Feifei! Shut up!" Su Qingxue shrieked, "You shameless slut! You're a public figure! How can you face your fans who love you?"

"You actually knelt before a lowly intern like a dog, wagging your tail for even a tiny bite to eat? You've utterly disgraced women! The entertainment industry's trash lives up to its reputation!"

Liu Feifei's face stiffened for a moment, then her smile widened. "Face? President Su, you're talking to me about face? You're standing at the cave entrance, soaked to the bone, is that your face?"

Su Qingxue trembled with anger. She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and humiliation in her heart, and tried her best to restore her crumbling CEO aura.

"Lin Fan, I have to admit, you've really impressed me. On this island, you certainly have more survival experience than any of us, and you're ruthless and patient enough."

Su Qingxue's voice regained its usual coldness and hardness when she issued orders in the conference room, "But you should understand that this is reality, not one of those fantasy novels you're living in. As long as my Sheng Tang Group's rescue helicopters arrive, everything will return to normal!"

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the half-eaten luncheon meat beside the fire.

The brown chunks of meat sizzled and dripped oil as they were roasted over the flames, the rich aroma of meat and the smoky scent of grease tantalizing her already craving stomach, which was cramping from hunger and even starting to churn with acid.

"Gurgle~"

A rumbling sound from the stomach suddenly rang out in the quiet cave.

Su Qingxue's stunningly beautiful face, smeared with black ash, instantly flushed crimson. The sense of defeat, humiliated by her own physiological instincts, made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She bit her lip hard, forcibly taking her eyes off the luncheon meat, and continued to throw out her chips.

"Lin Fan, I am now formally proposing a deal to you in my capacity as the president of Sheng Tang Group."

"If you give me the fire now, hand over all the food and water to me, and take responsibility for my safety on this island."

"Once the rescue team arrives tomorrow and we return to Jiangcheng, I'll promote you directly to Vice President of Shengtang Group! A starting salary of ten million yuan per year! Plus a 300-square-meter apartment in the city center! I can even send you abroad for further studies, so you can completely escape the lower rungs of society!"

Su Qingxue slightly raised her chin, a hint of condescending arrogance flashing in her eyes.

She knew these working-class people all too well. They toiled away every month for a few thousand yuan in rent and living expenses. Faced with ten million yuan in cash and the temptation of transcending social classes, no poor loser could refuse such an opportunity to rise to the top in one step.

In her view, this wasn't about survival; it was clearly a favor being given to Lin Fan.

However, Lin Fan didn't even look at her.

He picked up a piece of luncheon meat that was perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and put it into his mouth under Su Qingxue's extremely eager gaze.

"Click."

The crispy skin of the pork was bitten through, and the rich fat burst in Lin Fan's mouth.

He chewed loudly on purpose, and after swallowing, he let out a long, satisfied sigh.

"Mr. Su, did you inhale too much sulfur dioxide down there and damage your brain?"

"Your worthless check is so flimsy on this island, I wouldn't even use it to wipe my ass. Vice president? Ten million? Do you think I need that little bit of money right now?"

Su Qingxue's expression changed, her anger flaring. The humiliation of being offended by a subordinate made her instantly lose control: "Lin Fan! Don't push your luck! You think you can get away with anything just because you've gained a little advantage?"

"Fifty million! I'll give you fifty million! Even twenty percent of the shares in Sheng Tang Group! You couldn't earn that much in ten lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes! Just nod your head, and you can instantly transcend social classes and become a true superior person!"

"Transcending class boundaries?"

Lin Fan burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

After a while, he stood up and walked step by step to Su Qingxue.

For the first time, Su Qingxue felt that this intern's eyes were somewhat frightening.

She unconsciously backed away, her long, fair legs scraping against the gravel, until finally her back pressed firmly against the cold, damp rock wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

"Su Qingxue, open your dog eyes and look at the sky outside! Look at that insane Patek Philippe on your wrist!"

Lin Fan grabbed Su Qingxue's delicate chin and forced her to look at the pitch-black abyss outside the cave, where the waves were rolling.

"This is the uncharted waters of the Devil's Triangle! The magnetic field here is so strong it distorts light, and even time is out of control! Your old satellite phone is now less useful than a brick to prop up a table corner!"

"Guaranteed rescue by midnight? Fifty million? Let me tell you, even if you moved the entire Sheng Tang Group here right now, you couldn't buy a drop of water from me on this island!"

"No...no way...you're lying! You're just getting revenge on me, you're spreading fear!"

Su Qingxue shook her head desperately, her eyes filled with undisguised fear, but her deep-rooted arrogance still made her stubbornly refuse to admit it. "You're just a lowly intern, what do you know about satellite communications? Rescue will definitely come. Even if the people in my company are all incompetent, my dad will definitely send someone to rescue me."

Seeing Su Qingxue's ridiculous self-deception, Lin Fan sneered and released his grip.

"Fine, since you're so convinced your rescue will come, what are you doing in my doghouse? Get out and wait for your helicopter with Wang Qiang and the others. Oh, and by the way, the temperature outside is still dropping. I hope you live to see tomorrow's sun."

Lin Fan pointed outside the cave and ruthlessly ordered them to leave. Then he turned around, sat back down by the fire, and began adding firewood to the flames.

Su Qingxue stood frozen in place, unable to move her legs an inch.

The cold wind howled outside the cave, and the temperature had dropped below five degrees Celsius. Her swimsuit clung to her skin, frantically drawing away the last of her body's heat.

She could feel her body temperature dropping, and her consciousness was starting to become somewhat blurred.

If she goes out now, without fire or food, she probably won't survive the night.

The instinct for survival finally shattered the so-called dignity in the heart of this arrogant female CEO.

"Lin Fan..."

Su Qingxue's voice softened completely, trembling with a hint of humiliation, even bordering on a sob, "I...I'm really cold, and I'm very hungry. What do you want in return for letting me stay? I'll consider anything I can give."

In Su Qingxue's view, this was the biggest compromise she had ever made in her life.

"What conditions do you want?"

Lin Fan sat back down by the fire, his gaze sweeping over Su Qingxue's exaggerated S-shaped curves with extreme audacity.

It must be said that Su Qingxue's figure is truly a rare beauty.

That slender waist, full and firm breasts, and those long, straight, porcelain-white legs, even though they were covered in mud, still exuded a hormonal allure that could drive anyone crazy.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "My conditions are very simple."

"Take off all your clothes, leave nothing behind. Then, like our Sister Fei, serve me well. If you can satisfy me, this half-box of luncheon meat and this campfire are yours."
