Chapter 616 – Are You Scared For Me Or Yourself?
When Fu Guang felt all his plans failing, he could no longer contain his edgy tone within. Standing up at once from his seat, he glared at the woman. "What nonsense are you sprouting, Li Xue? Do you want us to believe in your lie now?"
Then taking a slight pause, he added more meaning to his words to provide himself a stand of righteousness. "Or now the things have turned against you; you want to push all blame on our CEO Zheng and the company. Don't think we would accept everything you would throw at us".
Seeing him so soon at the edge, Li Xue smirked slightly. "What nonsense and lies are you talking about, CEO Fu? I have yet to clear my points and answer the question this fair lady has asked me". She said all smoothly, pointing her hands toward the media woman who has previously stood up with the question. "Till now, I have only stated the facts that almost everyone knows but seems to have forgotten in the mid of their excitement."
"Li Xue, you …" Fu Guang started again, but the woman did not give him any chance.
"Furthermore, why do I feel like CEO Fu is purposely instigating his words in favor of the rumors. Please be mindful, CEO Fu, it's not just me who is getting involved in the scandal. There is your CEO Zheng and precious Ms. Wen also in the dirt. Yeah, that's another thing that I am getting extra coverage. But still, I can't be mean to Ms. Wen, who is right now admitted to Chiboa City Hospital due to a minor road accident".
Li Xue said with some worry laced in her voice, but that worry in her voice never tended to reach the sharpness in her eyes. Instead, with the blazing ambers, she put forward a challenge to the man, revealing her knowledge about his every trick.
Fu Guang did not find any better way to retaliate as slowly, and slowly the loud murmurs again filled the room's air. People knew that Wen Sying was hospitalized, but the post on the internet said she was there due to severe depression problems. It was only now they come to know that; actually, it was just some minor accident.
In just a short span, their outlook towards things and about Li Xue started to change, in a way where they wanted to give her a chance to know her story. Even though among them some people were already bought by the old guy, Fu Guang, the majority was still there for the truth behind the story. The buzzing media people consistently sobered up as they reined their queries under some mannerism boundaries and then asked, one at a time.
"So, Ms. Li Xue, with your words, does it mean that you have not accepted the decision of Oriental Spark drawing back the compensation claim."
Li Xue nodded before agreeing, "Yes, we have yet to give that acceptance to Oriental Spark." Her voice and expressions showed her firmness, instantly erasing every doubt that they could have in her words.
"Any special reasons behind your rejection?"
Li Xue raised a brow slightly but then chuckled as if someone has asked a worth laughing question. "Who would accept a deal that would bring you a loss? Isn't making profit always being everyone's aim in the industry?"
Those words were confusing not only for the crowd of media people sitting at the front or for the two companies CEO sitting at the side but also for the thousands of people who were watching the live streaming of the conference online.
"Heh, you are talking about making a profit, the one who has left her whole company to die in the losses." From the side, CEO Fu snickered disdainfully. "Don't portray the thing like you have changed yourself in these five years. That would never change the truth. A truth that except loss, your existence in the industry could not bring anything".
Wu Long was the one to get in trouble with that comment first. He instantly went to warn the old one about the warning that was strictly given by Zheng Wenting last day. "CEO Fu, you can't say something like that. CEO Zheng has clearly said that in no way any of our words or comments should harm Ms. Li Xue's credibility in the industry". But was instantly silenced when saw the man's eyes turning to look all severely at him. He has to hold back as his position was still way lower than the one the older man held.
Li Xue's fists clenched inside the table, but on her expressions, she held her composure all well. Turning her face slightly to look at the man with a beautiful, devious smile, she said, "About losses, let's talk later, CEO Fu. Don't worry, that topic would something really coming exciting in the press conference today. Right now, what I want to let everyone know is my decision to reject the decision of Oriental Spark. I won't accept the withdraw of the compensation claim. Instead, I have come here to settle it all at once."
Fu Guang frowned at her words. He had no idea what was coming for him, but his instincts could sense it well. Still ignoring the calls of his instincts, he said, trying his best to put the intimidation on the woman. "You talk so big, yet you don't know that the stuff like this doesn't get discussed without a lawyer by your side? Or do you think yourself that self-sufficient to ignore the importance of a lawyer?"
"Is CEO Fu getting concerned for me, or is he getting scared for himself?" Li Xue smiled coldly. Her words all blatant to shock everyone.
"Getting scared for myself? Heh, aren't you talking too high now? Do you even have any capability to scare me up to this point?" Fu Guang could no longer hold his calm. Slamming his hands hard, he yelled, not minding the presence of the people around.
But right at the moment, the door of the conference hall opened again, and inside came a man with stern expressions.
