Chapter 619 - Invalidated the compensation claim.
Chapter 619 - Invalidated the compensation claim.
With irritation and agitation all visible on his features, Fu Guang fiddled into the papers. Since his confidence was already deteriorating in the situation, his lack of patience was only getting doubled with each passing moment. He wanted to bring the damage to the woman, but with the unwavering attitude she was keeping at the front, he no longer felt that he was on the path of success.
"Fine. Since you want it that way, let me tell you the sum total has come to something approx. forty million." He said, after finding the right digits at the bottom corner of the page. He looked up from the file to see the interest-filled eyes of the woman, staring with all focus at him. Getting her gaze that intense at himself, for once even his heart skipped a beat. But that skip was not some romantic signal to him, instead was like the last warning shot at him.
"Umm … If you don\'t mind, CEO Fu, can I once check the detailed calculation your company has done?" Li Xue finally said, extending her hands to take the file. Her voice lace with some uncertainty.
Seeing her in ambivalence, the man slowly regained his confidence, feeling a little better in himself. "Why? Are you regretting talking big now? Regret as much as you want, but now nothing will change, and we will proceed with this sum itself." He said, throwing the file in front of her with small thud sound.
Li Xue didn\'t flinch at his action. She just stared at the file for a moment with her head a little down, not revealing her smile to the eyes around. "I see. I never said I would present my second thought here". She said, plainly nodding along with the words. Then picking up the file, she flipped the pages with some interest before passing it to the lawyer sitting beside her.
"Lawyer Liu, let\'s proceed according to this amount," she added, and the man with cold expression agreed, taking the file into his hands.
"Don\'t worry, Ma\'am. You would not lose the things". Lawyer Liu assured in the calmest and the most patient voice, and at his assurance, everyone was dumbfounded.
"What does that mean, Li Xue? Has your lawyer also lost his sense, same as you? He is still saying that in mid of all this, you would be losing nothing." CEO Fu Guang felt amazed at the confidence of the lawyer. To him, he looked quite young and one with a lack of considerable knowledge. Who else would be crazy enough to assist Li Xue into a lost battle?
Li Xue turned to look back at him, giving a pressed smile. "How could I say that CEO Fu? I will let Lawyer Liu answer your question himself. Only that way you would understand better". She said before giving the lawyer at her side a gentle nod to proceed.
Just after receiving the agreement from the lady, Lawyer Liu started his movements with an expressionless face. He stood up, pulling his bag up on the table, he opened it up to pull a few stacks of files. Then forwarding one stack out, he started, "Here is the legal acceptance letter of the compensation claim from my client."
"And this is the legal order that invalidates the compensation claim on my client and instead asks Oriental Spark to pay five million to Ms. Li Xue". He added another sentence, forwarding another stack for them to look at.
Just two sentences, full of clarity was enough to pull everyone out of the wits and render them wordless in shock. Even though the words were clear and perfectly audible to the ears, they still did not hesitate in giving some more time to themselves to confirm the man\'s words and their ears.
"What did you say?" Fu Guang was the one to ask first, not understanding what exactly happened around. It felt like the whole Earth rolled upside down, making his head a great mess.
Lawyer Liu didn\'t mind his struck dumbness, rather with his attitude of nonchalance it felt like seeing people struck dumb after his words were nothing new to him and he was all used to it. Keeping his expressions all straight, he repeated more curtly. "I said, Oriental Spark is liable to pay my client an amount of five million."
"How can that be possible?" The man was still in a daze, not accepting a single word. He frantically lunged forward to snatch the papers out to check the things himself.? His eyes getting wide. Not only the compensation claim was invalidated but at the same time, an order was passed for Oriental Spark to pay five million to Li Xue instead.
How was this even possible?
Wu Long was also taken aback at the sudden turn of the events. Never even in his dreams did he think that something like this could even happen. Moments before, he was feeling pity for the woman but now it was feeling stressful for his own company. He quickly nudged their company\'s lawyer to check the papers which further confirmed the things.
"Yes, CEO Wu. It\'s right, according to these papers, the former company, i.e., Oriental Spark is obliged to pay five million to Ms. Li Xue out of the compensation of the responsibilities they failed to fulfill for her". The lawyer from Oriental Spark said, adding a little more explanation to the things.
At this moment, the media sitting at the front could no longer contain themselves. They were already losing in their curiosity. Immediately getting up, a few shot their questions out.
"Ms. Li Xue, was this the turn that was making you so confident all this time? What made the compensation claim go invalidate."
"Is there anything more that we are still unknown to?"
"Can you please give us a more clear picture of the things that happened upon the stage? Though we have heard the things, we would love to hear in a more detailed way?"
"Ms. Li Xue, was this all about the sum of five million for which you are playing?"
"Ms. Li Xue, have all this come due to crisis, or was all these always been in your plans?"
One after the other the question was shot out. But instead of making the woman nervous, it only pulled a more entertained expression on her face. Like all this time she was waiting for this phase of the story to reveal.
"Okay! I know all of you have got questions and are excited to know the story behind it. Fine, I will then let everyone know how and why everything turned this way".
