Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

In the late afternoon, the reception room of the Oriental Spark was readied to hold the small press conference. Staffs were running to look after the last-minute touch-ups as they did not want anything to be missed. Not because they wanted to make things perfect but to save themselves from any severe admonishment. 

They had been severely administered to keep all the things perfect and suitable. The orders have directly come from the top, and everyone was looking for it. 

"I don't understand why do we have to be so careful just for this simple meeting. Aren't we the overruling one in the scenarios?" Someone whispered while passing small glances at the others, waiting to hear their words in the context. 

"Overruling? What do you mean? Is there something the company is hiding from us?" someone other asked, getting a little intrigued about the things. Not everyone knew the strategies happening on the top. So, many were clueless regarding Li Xue's situation given there was restriction running to keep everything unleaked and secret. 

But till when a word could remain secret when every wall tends to become the ears of busybodies. Fire doesn't take time to spread in the forest. Just reaching one tree was more than enough job. 

"What don't you know? Our company has filed a compensation claim on her, claiming the losses it has incurred because of her. It's a total of eight million. With that amount, of course, we must be overruling the situation. Won't we?" Though the words came out with a bit of doubt, the confidence was evident on everyone's face. 

"Really? Eight million. That's huge. Was she really capable of that worth?"

"Yes, I had heard it when I last visited CEO Wu's office to submit the monthly report two days back."

"That news is already rotten for two days. Do you still think things are the same? The company was overruling in the past, but then suddenly the claim was withdrawn according to the orders of CEO Zheng." 

"Claim was withdrawn? The whole of eight million. Wouldn't that bring more loss? Why did CEO Zheng do something like that?" Question arose one after the other.

"Who knows what trick that dirty woman played?"

"Aish! She is really bold. Did she climb on CEO Zheng's bed now?" a tiny flake of storm was stirred there. Eyes turned to catch who was there, but no one could guess who said the things. 

"Oh yeah, was that because of why I saw Ms. Wen Sying visiting the hospital yesterday. Is she unwell because she caught both of them entangled in each other's arms". 

The comment became a bit too ugly, but it still made people easily believe in them.  Someone was again about to say something, but before they could continue their gossips any longer, a sharp clap snapped them from behind. 

"What are you lazying about? We have so many things to do yet. Don't gossip around at this nook time." It was CEO Fu Guang from Galaxy Light. He has come, getting all ready for the day—his expressions a little taut and strict, showing his displeasure about the things. 

The staffs quickly bowed down, apologizing all together. "We are sorry CEO Fu. We will get back to work straight away". They said before pacing back and forth again in the room. 

Fu Guang eyed everything around, slowly and slowly the tautness of his expression dissipating with some maliciousness in his eyes. His lips were lifted up from one corner, looking at a familiar staff working in the mid of others—the one nodding at him with some useful meaning. 

He smiled more at his indication; before taking his phone out from the pocket. Dialing the number saved in his recent call log list, he said the moment the call got connected. "Hello, Sying! I have completed my promised part. The rest is up to your hands. 

Wen Sying nodded, letting out a sound of slow affirmation on the call before signaling Da – Xia to proceed with her part of the job. Everything was going according to their plans. Just today's evening and Li Xue would be again kicked out of the industry.

At the same time in Zheng Industries, 

Zheng Wenting was working in a hurry, attempting to complete all his work before leaving to attend the press meet-up. He has personally decided that he would be attending the things by himself, so nothing could go against his plans this time. He doesn't want to take any more blames from Li Xue. He already had enough of it. 

At this moment, a knock came on the door. "CEO Zheng, this file from our South Project also needs your attention. Kindly see it once." Mr. Sheng, the secretary of Zheng Wenting, said, getting inside the room after the permission. 

But the man shook his head, denying his request. "No, Mr. Sheng. Keep that file for tomorrow. I won't be having time to check it today. I would leave just after completing reading the current one." He said, without even lifting up his gaze to look at the man. 

The secretary nodded. "Ohh, I am sorry, CEO Zheng. I almost forgot you have an appointment today". 

Zheng Wenting's lips tugged up in a gentle smile as he looked up at his secretary before nodding and closing the file. "Yes, so I will be heading for it. I am all done here. See the other things for me. I will leave first". He said hurriedly before standing up and getting his jacket to rush off. 

With his hurried, speedy steps, soon, Zheng Wenting got to the parking lot, all ready to get into his car, but just when he thought things could go according to his plans, his phone rang inside his pocket. He frowned a bit but then took it out to answer. 

It was yet another call from Da – Xia. Earlier too, she has called, but her call was ended abruptly for some reason that he didn't inquire about. And now, seeing her again calling, he could not help but frown. 

"Hello!" he answered with least interest, but before he could ask anything further, his eyes widened with horror while his fingers fisted stiffly around his phone.
