Chapter 603 - Come up more robust.
When in Glamour World, Su Fai and Lin Xinyi were filled with anticipation, the Galaxy Light and Oriental Spark were in a mess. They were having many doubts. From the very beginning itself, the lawsuit was to stop Li Xue from having a desirable comeback.
But never in their dreams, they thought that her news would be getting such a desirable response from the netizens even before her return. Even though the people were firing her with contempt, their comments still kept her on the trending searches. And in the media industry, they could never forget that negative publicity was still publicity that could bring the benefits better than any positive ones.
"CEO Fu, I am still thinking that we are just overthinking things. Yes, I accept that she has been on the trending searches for almost more than 12 hours now, but don't worry, everything would die down soon after claiming the compensation on her. After all, 8 million is not an easy amount that any agency would pay for reviving a scandalous model", CEO Wu, the new managerial head of Oriental Spark, spoke up when he could not handle the silence of the conference room any longer.
But to his words, CEO Fu of Galaxy Light only shook his head. "This isn't as simple as you are taking, young boy. You are still new in the field and don't know the industry well. Involving your theoretical studies in your practical field would not always bring you the success".
"What do you mean?" CEO Wu asked in confusion. He has been recruited recently to fill the position of former CEO Jiang and was relatively young in both age and experience.
"Glamour World has taken its time to send their acceptance of the law letter. This can't be as simple as it looks. There must be something going on inside their plans; otherwise, in no way would they still have plans in accepting a model like Li Xue under their banner." CEO Fu explained his thoughts while his eyes darted in a particular direction before asking. "What do you think about this CEO Zheng?"
Zheng Wenting has also been there for a good time now, but he has not spoken a word out from the moment he has sat there. His expressions were looking clouded while his brows were furrowed together, showing his annoyance about the situation.
Everything was going out of his plans; what else he could say. And further, on top of that, the memories of Li Xue's consistent indifference weren't doing any good. He has always thought, as long as he would get Li Xue back to his side, under him, he would be fine … everything would be fine. But now, seeing the overturn of the things so suddenly, he could no longer be sure.
Now, a dilemma was playing in his thoughts. One told him just to go easy and leave the woman to do whatever she wants to do in the industry. But at the same time, the other egoistic side of his was urging him to make things challenging for her so that his ego could get satisfied.
"CEO Zheng!" Suddenly a voice from the front brought him back when they realized him trancing off.
"Let's hold the meet-up then. Send the invite to Glamour World and say that we want to discuss the things with Li Xue before taking everything to court," Zheng Wenting suddenly said when he heard the askance call of the man at the front. "Also, make sure that nothing from our side gets leaked in the news until we discuss the things. The public still has no idea about the compensation claim, so let them stay in the darkness. Just announce this as a small meet-up initiated from our side to talk about the few remaining ties left from the past."
CEO Wu nodded, but the brows of CEO Fu got furrowed at those words. That was something he had not thought. Though leaking any news to the public would only heighten the things to Li Xue's benefits, still wouldn't it be the higher the woman would rise, the bigger would be her fall. He turned a little suspicious of the man's intentions.
Was he trying to help Li Xue out, or was he …?
"CEO Fu, do you have any problem?" When he felt the man's gaze on himself, Zheng Wenting snapped the man out from his thoughts.
CEO Fu immediately shook his head in denial. "Definitely not, CEO Zheng. How could I have a problem with your words. Since you have decided the things well, I am sure you have thought the things well".
"Fine, since the things are discussed here for now. I will make a move. I still have things to attend," Zheng Wenting said before pushing his seat back to walk out of the room. The other two company's CEOs stood up following his suit as they waited to see him leave first.
"CEO Fu, is there a problem? You don't seem happy with CEO Zheng's words."
"I also have things to attend; I would leave first," CEO Fu said, dismissing the words of the man before making his way out.
***
Soon as things were asked, Glamour World was notified about the request to talk. Seeing there was no harm in sitting at the same table to discuss the talks, they agreed, and Li Xue was also notified about it.
"Li Xue, tomorrow you would need to attend the meet-up too. I will arrange for someone to go along with you, but there you have to be very mindful of your words. Be courteous as much as possible, just in case they play some trick," Lin Xinyi said to Li Xue on the call.
The woman nodded before assuring, "Don't worry, Sister Xinyi. I will stay cautious". Even though Li Xue was sure that things would not be coming as simple as it was looking, she still would want to see what the future holds for her. This time she would not back down as quickly as she has done before. This time she would come a way more robust than she has been before. Not only for herself but also for the people around her and her sister, Li Yenay.
