'The spark of passion that could light up the darkest world to pave the way of her success!'
The quote was not wrong about her. It was defining the capability of the woman all perfectly. But at this moment that was not something that Zheng Wenting wanted.
He has never liked the strong self of Li Xue. He has always wished how good it had been if she was all weak and demure like other women? Though her wild side was a temptation to which anyone would succ.u.mb to, he has always craved to tame her for his own better. But could anyone have ever been able to tame the rumbling storm?
Zheng Wenting was furious. Though it was uncertain, the truth still slapped him hard on his face letting him know that however he planned, there were still high chances of him failing. Because controlling Li Xue has always been his worst forte.
"CEO Jiang keeps in mind that you are here to support us not to side with the opponent team. Don't forget the modelling agency for which you have been working for ages is under our decisional control. So, you better note what you speak and how you talk", Zheng Wenting growled, and the aged man just smiled with the words ready on his lips to comment.
"Haha … I never knew that voicing out the facts was so offensive in your people's eyes, especially when nothing in my words was directed to you, CEO Zheng" The man said with a burst of small laughter. Pausing for a bit, he added, "But still I apologize for my audacity, CEO Zheng. I should not have forgotten that your position holds the seniority now. Not my aged experience".
He sighed with some disappointment, but that feeling of dismay was definitely not on oneself. "Fine, since askance of opinion was just a show, then it would only be better if we don't waste any more of our time here. Tomorrow an official legal letter to pay the compensation will be sent to her stating our agency's name. Hope that was the only support CEO Zheng has been expecting from me. If there is something other than that then I could only apologize for being rude because I would not be able to support you in that".
CEO Jiang said, then waited for some time to hear if they had something else to say. When nothing came, he gave a slight polite nod of understanding and then turning around walked away, leaving Zheng Wenting with a tightly clenched fist.
"CEO Zheng, don't mind that old hag. With the growing age, he is just going senile. He can't forecast the future of the industry any longer. With yours support, tomorrow's fashion sensation will definitely be Ms Wen Sying", CEO Fu buttered up the man thinking that all these preparations were just being made to stabilize Wen Sying's position in the industry.
But little did the man understand what d.e.s.i.r.e Wenting had in his eyes. He wanted to make Li Xue beg for his help … wanted to make her cry so that only he remains there to wipe off her tears and no one else.
It had never been about Sying from the very beginning. It has always been about Li Xue. He wanted her to feel grateful towards him, but things worsened when she simply refused to take his help. "I would not let it be easy for her this way. This time her escape to success, she will be having me, blocking her path", Zheng Wenting growled to himself as he slammed his hands hard on the table, standing up at once.
"CEO Fu, make sure that no other modelling fashion agency registers her under their care. At the end of the day, she would be getting under the Galaxy Light, under my supervision" He ordered as his eyes stared at the distance where the old CEO has disappeared.
"You don't have to bother about that. I have already made all the necessary arrangements for that. There will be no agency hiring her under their name" CEO Fu affirmed with confidence.

On the other side in the hospital, Yi Lan was on the verge of dying out of panic. Sitting on the VVIP room's hospital bed, she was fiddling through her fingers while swinging her legs in the air.
"Yi Lan, can you please stop that? It's now freaking me out. We are not running late. There is still time for spring to arrive and furthermore, we are not sure if Li Xue has really made up her mind to make a comeback or not". Su Fai said to halt her movements of nervousness but if Yi Lan's stubbornness would have become that easy then it might not be her stubbornness in reality.
Paying no heed to his words, she continued her rambling, "No, no you would not understand. This is my Li Xue's comeback. We cannot take it too easy. Everything should be perfect for her. We cannot just lag, thinking that we still have time in hand. It's almost winter holidays lurking at the corner. No, no, it's not going in any planned way. We should plan everything first"
All her words were just concerned with Li Xue. She was looking more and more like the nervous mother whose child was appearing in the examination for the first time and she was not sure if she had prepared him well to face it.
Su Fai could only shake his head looking at her like that. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath as he stood up to walk by the woman's side. Reaching her, he held her by her shoulders while taking her hands into his to stop her from fiddling her fingers. Locking her swinging leg between his legs, he looked down at her.
Feeling him near, Feng Yi Lan simply lifted her face up to look at him, pressing her lips together while he stared down in her brown eyes. "Yi Lan, I said everything will go fine. You still have me here and we have always made a good team. For Li Xue, we could also work together and believe me I assure you … by hook or crook, we will make her comeback successful".
The woman looked at him and his assuring words did work on her. Taking a deep breath in she said, "Yes, yes, everything will go fine since I have you with me" she said and right at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open with a force, startling the duo who were busy in their own talks.
