Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The people around were all intrigued in their confusion as they heard the man's self – disapproving words. Though after Li Xue's incident there has been a drop in the growth of Oriental Spark Agency that never depreciated the fame, the man has earned in his all successful years. He was known as the one to grow along with the growth of the fashion industry in Chiboa.

How could his insight be wrong?

Zheng Wenting was also quite puzzled at his words. Was he showing his regret for choosing Li Xue? That was not something he could sure of, but apart from that nothing else was making sense to him.

"CEO Jiang, about what insight are you talking about? We believe in you and that's why I don't want you to leave this industry this soon", Zheng Wenting said, with slight wrinkles in his brows.

The old man's aged eyes got a little smaller as he smiled. Then gesturing slightly towards Wen Sying he said, "How can my insights be right Mr Zheng? The biggest proof to prove my words is sitting beside you. 5 years back when Ms Wen has come to get herself registered under the banner of Oriental Spark, I rejected her. At that time, I was being honest with my perspective and insight by telling her that I don't find her to be someone fitting for the modelling career"

He said giving a slight shrug to his shoulders and then again continued, "Yet we can see, she is here, successfully rooted in the industry for 5 years. So, I don't think, my insight will be any benefit. You can refer to CEO Fu instead, after all, now it's him taking the lead".

CEO Fu was instantly boasted with the praises. Giving his collar a little more properness, he said with some arrogance, "Its fine CEO Jiang. You don't have to regret it as not everyone could be correct in their choice every time. Maybe if the choice has arisen now then you would have not thought twice before choosing our Wen Sying"

The old CEO looked at him. He didn't say a word in reply but let out a chuckle in response. Of course, his words were giving out an anguishing tone of regret but there were still people around who did not miss the strict mock in between his fake words of praises. After all, the whole industry had known that the old man never took regrets as his thing. If he decides something, he decides it. He does not regret.

Wen Sying was boasting herself internally when heard the old CEO's words. She was feeling happy thinking that finally one more good person from Li Xue's side has come to praise her superiority but her soft bubble burst out when her ears caught the low thunderous chuckle at the end.

Biting her lower lips lightly, she turned her eyes to complain to the man, sitting beside her wordlessly. But the man's eyes had long forgotten her. And it felt like it was not going to come back on her anytime soon

These insults were not in her thoughts when she planned to come here to flaunt her position beside the man. And never in her thoughts, it struck her that the man on whose capabilities she was depending on, would not raise any voice against such mocks on her.

Was he like this from the beginning? Or did he change now after the things started changing between them?

"Mr Zheng I think I have already made the things quite clear. We should not delay the process anymore. Since you already know that I have plans after completing the things here, I would really don't want to miss them". Old Jiang said, turning back the attention at Zheng Wenting.

The man looked at him for some time and then asked with some a real authoritative tone, "Are you sure, Mr Jiang? Does the offer still doesn't tempt you? Think about it once again"

The aged CEO put a very affable smile on his lips and slightly gestured to his secretary to bring up the official papers that have been kept prepared all this time. "Your tempting offer is not bad, Mr Zheng. But delicious food would never tempt the person whose stomach is already full for the rest of the day".

He said all humbly but his aura never left the tinge of arrogance. But that tinge of arrogance was something that none can question because its roots were put on righteousness. And when something has rightfulness as its back up then no one has the power to challenge it.

The papers were soon presented at the front. Without giving any blink of hesitation or any second moment of thought, he moved his pen all swiftly putting his signature onto it. Once done, he lifted his head all pridefully to give a nod to his secretary who took the papers to get it signed from Zheng Wenting next.

Though he did not want the old man to leave knowing his real potential and advantage, Zheng Wenting knew that he had no other way to make him stay. So, giving a last look to him, he finally uncapped his pen to put his name, approving his demands.

Once the procedure was over, Zheng Wenting stood up from his chair with a forced smile over his lips. Former CEO Jiang along with the others also followed his suit.

"Your works and achievements in this agency are really appreciated by all of us, Mr Jiang. I hope you also had a good time here. Though I, personally have not got any good chance to work with you but hearing your people speak so highly of you says it all. We wish you a good time after here and would only expect that you still keep management's secret and integrity in check as you have kept before." Zheng Wenting said, extending his hand forward.

The old man smiled as well before meeting his hands and said, "Thank you for your warm words, Mr Zheng. And rest assured there will be no one coming to me for asking about the plans and agenda of this agency. Because as I said I have always chosen people around me for their talents and rightfulness. And those two qualities show their rarity in themselves. Those would never make anyone dependent on other's plans or ways to make people realize their rightful superiority over others".

There were no other words to say so, Zheng Wenting just gave a nod of understanding before other people came forward to give farewell words to the former CEO of their agency.

"Mr Zheng, what should we do now? You said keeping CEO Jiang back was an important hook of our plan. However, we tried we weren't able to make him stay", CEO Fu said, coming to stand beside Zheng Wenting when everyone else was busy exchanging words at the front.

The man did not reply. He just looked forward at the contented smile playing on the old man's face. No doubt he knew what that happiness was for.

Soon all farewell greetings were over as the man turned to give a polite, thankful smile to everyone and then said all gratefully, "I really have a good time spent here. It feels nice to say and also proud to feel that I have been both in the good and bad times of this company. And now that I have taken the retirement, I wish everyone here luck and strength to carry their work as they have been all these years".

Completing his words with a smile he turned around to leave but suddenly his steps halted as he turned back. His eyes went to stare straight at his rival CEO and said all maintaining the smile, "Sorry, I didn't reply to you before CEO Fu. But I will say it now. Even when given the second chance, I would still choose to reject Ms Wen because the success that has been acquired on someone's else bad luck didn't survive for long. It's doomed to come to an unexpectable end."

"And as for Li Xue, mark my words, I will say it again. Once she gets back, she will be unstoppable. Because a precious gem would never lose its shine, even if it remains hidden or in dark for decades". He said then without giving any more time at the place left the room. Behind him, Wen Sying could only grit her teeth and look accusingly at the man who still remained silent at her insults.
