Chapter 612 - Taking the losses on her stance.
Reception hall of Oriental Spark,
Suddenly the whole setup of the rooms was changed. The table that was decided to put for only a few people, mainly related to the two companies, was pushed more at one side of the room to create more seats for media personnel.
Things have come to change so suddenly that everything looked in chaos except for one person standing at the corner of the scene. He seemed so calm and relaxed as if he was the only one in the whole world of failure, sure about his success. His eyes scanned the people around that has come up at such short notice like none of them have any better work to do at their ends.
Who would have not come after getting such a piece of perfect news to cover? Of course, they would have to come swarming like bees. Fu Guang thought with smug and overconfidence written all over his face.
"CEO Fu, what are you smiling at? I thought this was a tough phase for all of us, as we have not thought about this turn of events? But you are standing here and smiling. Did you already know about all this?" CEO Wu Long asked when he suddenly spotted the man smiling.
At his question, Fu Guang feigned complete innocence before shrugging his shoulders off in nonchalance. "What are you saying, CEO Wu? How can that be? My face was constructed that way. I am not actually smiling." He easily dodged off the question with a minimal excuse.
Lines of doubts appeared upon Wu Long\'s forehead. "Really?" He asked, not hiding his suspicion, but the man simply patted his shoulder.
"Of course? Do you feel I am some maniac who would find fun in something like this? Now, don\'t think much. Let\'s head to the table first. The media people are getting hyper. We would need to find a way to calm them down". He said before gesturing him to look at the whispering media people, who were brazenly making assumptions.
"Yes, yes, CEO Fu. I think we should do something. Ms. Li Xue has not come yet, and it seems like she is not coming anytime soon after seeing things deteriorating," Wu Long said before quickly strutting his legs to the table soon after the man.
He has not known much about Li Xue. To what he knows and has read in the articles was about the model, who has run away from her career after getting involved in some scandal. He has even mocked her and the previous company CEO, thinking what made them waste such rich resources on her. He shook his head again, remembering the foolish decision of the former CEO as he headed to get his seat at the front before asking their representative to start the talks on the mike.
"Good afternoon, everyone! We have never thought that this would become so big to invite you all at such short notice. But due to some unconventional news spreading on the internet, we did not have a choice but to clear the things out here. Thanks for coming. Since you all know Oriental Spark and Galaxy Light has collaborated, we have here the CEOs of both the houses, who would be clearing your doubts."
The representative said with mannerism before gesturing everyone to look at the two CEOs at the table. He was about to continue to let them know that they could ask only one question at a time, but before he could even say a letter out, the bees swarmed already to get on the marathon.
"Is the news regarding CEO Zheng cheating Ms. Wen Sying with Li Xue is correct? Or was it just some kinda fling that the former model Li Xue has forced him into?"? the first question was thrown, and immediately, CEO Wu came forward to counter it.
"You can\'t say it like that yet. Those are just some rumors spreading out. Please maintain some sense of responsibility in your words." But before anyone could draw any implication from it, his words were just brushed off like thin air while other questions were thrown one after the other.
"CEO Wu Long, has the company asked Ms. Li Xue about the compensation?"
"If asked then, why was it taken back? Why is the Oriental Spark taking the loss for her?"
"Was CEO Zheng had taken this decision on everyone\'s behalf since now, he is the one controlling the things for both the houses?"
"If that\'s so, then wouldn\'t that only prove that CEO Zheng is having some affair with Ms. Li Xue? After all, why else would he agree to take such a huge loss? We have heard that it was about eight million."
"CEO Fu, is the news about Ms. Wen Sying being hospitalized for being severely ill is correct? Has she really being betrayed by her friend?"
"CEO Wu! CEO Fu! please answer our queries! We can\'t just believe the things you are saying without knowing the facts."
At so many questions, soon Wu Long started to sweat. He picked his mike to say something. "Yes, CEO Zheng is giving us orders, but he has reasons behind it that we could not reveal to everyone." He tried to explain, looking at CEO Fu at the side, asking for his help. But the man remained silent, feigning as if he, himself, was on the tough spot.
"Reasons? What reasons could it be? Aren\'t profits is what the company always cares for, then how come losses are being taken just to keep one woman at a profit."
"Will Ms. Li Xue would not show up? Has she already went to hide somewhere?"
One reply of defense would garner several other questions from the people. The situation was getting out of control, the same as sand slipping out of hand. Wu Long was continuously wiping his forehead off sweat, but he simply had no idea what else he could do with the increase of severity of the situation. Zheng Wenting was already at the hospital and would no longer be coming. And no hope …
He was busy thinking of the way out when suddenly, the sound of cl.i.c.k.i.n.g heels echoed from a distance, marking the arrival of someone. Every eye turned to look at the distance, only to find a woman walking in all confidently.
