Chapter 642 - Leopard Can't Change Its Spots.
Su Fai got up to get on the podium first. Being the main head of the agency, it was right for him to address the people first. "Good evening, everyone! Being the managing head of the agency, let me welcome all of you and our new model Li Xue. We are happy to get her to work with us".
Li Xue smiled slightly as she stood up to give a slight bow to Su Fai first in politeness and then turned to look at everyone with the same. She waited for some time in her position, giving the time to the photographers to click the pictures of her. She knew they would be clicking her and she wanted her pictures to come all fine and perfect.
Though she has not exceptionally dressed today, still her appearance and charms were all perfect for the day. She was wearing a greenish – blue, cyan colored business suit with only minimal makeup applied. Her charms perfectly complimenting attire and makeup. Looking at her that way, none could say she had ever left the industry. It felt like she has always been the woman on trend.
"CEO Su, thanks for your invite. But we want to ask you, with Li Xinyi also here, is Glamour World planning to launch two models from history at the same time? What are your plans behind this?" Suddenly a reporter asked, getting up from his seat.
Su Fai stared at the person for some moment, before curling his lips into an evident smile. Instead of giving any answer directly, he said all patiently, "Now, that I have welcomed both Li Xue and everyone, I will ask Ms. Lin Xinyi, Li Xue's manager, to take up the conversation from here". With his words itself, Lin Xinyi's reason for presence at the scene was clarified.
All the people were stunned at the revelation. That was something which has not hit anyone's thoughts and assumptions.
"Lin Xinyi is not having any comeback, rather she would be managing Li Xue's career. How can that be? It's quite strange. What's the matter with her?"
"Lin Xinyi has run away leaving her flourishing career back in time. What happened to her that time? Was she threatened to leave by someone?"
"She is becoming the manager in the modelling agency now. Is she even capable? She has got no experience. She must definitely be in the need of money, otherwise there seems no other reason that could force her to take this profession."
Many assumptions brewed until Lin Xinyi finally got to the podium and Su Fai got back to his seat. Once they saw her ready to speak, someone again from the group stood up to ask the question.
"Ms. Lin Xinyi, you are back in the industry. Could you please tell us what made you leave your career back then and also what made you rejoin it back again, changing your profession?"
Lin Xinyi stared at the person who asked the question for sometime and then turned to scan everyone sitting. Her eyes, holding the elegance and the shine for which she has been famous for before. "I don't think today's topic is about me. It's about my model, Li Xue and I am here in favor of her. So, kindly I would ask everyone to bring the questions related to the topic that could make it a little easy for us to answer."
The people were not surprised with the straightness used in the tone of the lady. Lin Xinyi has always been famous for that and people knew it too. In that aspect both Li Xue and Lin Xinyi were the same and everyone was all aware of it.
The reporter who has stood up to ask sat back and another one stood up with a question, "Ms. Lin Xinyi, Ms. Li Xue is the model you are going to manage. Did you not have doubts on her? She was entangled in a huge scandal five years back and then has been forced to leave the industry?"
This was the most expectant and crucial question that was confirmed for the day. Something that almost everyone was waiting for and also something for which no words in answer can suffice.
Li Xue also turned to look at Lin Xinyi along with all others. She could feel the slight hesitation she was holding in her standing stature but on the surface the woman looked good to hide it. Something that only boosted Li Xue's faith in her.
Lin Xinyi also slightly turned to give a short glance to Li Xue before nodding lightly in assurance and then turning back to reply with all confidence and firmness.
"I did doubt at first but that doubt only lasted for seconds. Later on, I came to realize and remember what tricks the people in the industry are capable to play around. After all, one's capability can't be faked for long". Her answer was curt but it perfectly targeted the people it was aimed to, giving source and hints to the media to direct the doubts at the people responsible.
"Ms. Lin Xinyi, that was the doubt regarding her scandal, but what about her reckless attitude that she has shown by leaving her former company at a crucial time. Some insider from the Oriental Spark has informed that after her scandal, she left them to pay her all debts and compensation amount". Another media writer stood up to ask.
At that question, Li Xue just dipped her head down while a small unseen smile played on her lips. But what took her in surprise when she suddenly heard something clicking on the white projector sheet behind her with a familiar voice in the background.
"Li Xue has been the best model anyone could have. Oriental Spark has been blessed to have her otherwise without her, our company would have never been able to see another five years".
Li Xue at once turned at that voice, mumbling the name under her breath, "CEO Jiang!". It was the old former CEO of Oriental Spark in the video playing on the screen while on the other side of the divided projector screen, there were pictures of some transaction sheets and legal papers getting displayed.
Li Xue turned to Lin Xinyi in confusion, only to find her turning back to look at the audience with her voice in the mike. "That was the voice clip of the former CEO of Oriental Spark, under whom Li Xue has worked in the past and also the evidence that proves Li Xue to be the responsible ex-member of that company. Before leaving the agency, she has helped with everything to safeguard the name under which she has worked with. She even emptied all her bank accounts to pay for them. With this evidence in light, I think none of you would still have doubt in her sense of responsibility".
The people were left stunned one after the other revelation. They no longer knew what else to ask. The evidence was so concrete and to the point that no doubt can be raised on it, especially about the legal transaction papers displaying on the screen in front of the great lawyer Liu.
After a long time, someone raised up to ask a question but hesitation was perfectly evident in his voice. "I want to ask about the evidence Lawyer Liu showed at Oriental Spark. As we all know that was just a voice recording. How could we believe in its authenticity? The voice could be forged easily these days".
Li Xue was the one to give the internal chuckle first. Just looking at the person who brought it up she could say, 'Leopard can't change its spots'. She must say Sying has got guts to bring that even after her warning. Now that she has brought the things like this, she has to take the consequences too.
She turned to look at Su Fai, signaling a nod to him who in turn looked at the PR head beside him, asking him to go forward with the next orders.
