Holding a threatful smirk on his lips, Feng Shufen took his seat on the leather chair, elegantly opening the button of his suit. "What do you think?" His voice, coming out all nonchalant at the man's sufferings.
"President Feng, haven't we signed a contract together then, why is it still happening all like this?" Unable to understand Feng Shufen's tone, Zheng Wenting asked to confirm. But Shufen didn't mind replying to him. Instead, he just stared at him as if enjoying his time.
Seeing the right time, Gao Fan stepped forward near Zheng Wenting. And under his curious gaze, moved his fingertips on the tablet screen to change the window to show something else, that was enough to clear the blurry picture of happenings to the man.
Zheng Wenting read the matter described and inside his chest, he felt his heart pounding. Pounding hard enough to scare him. "President Feng, this … this is not right. We were clearly working on it. This is false. Believe me!"
"Wenting, what happened? What is in that article?" On the side, Wen Sying couldn't understand what's going on. But looking at Zheng Wenting's expression, she could already say that it was something really serious.
Zheng Wenting didn't think it was the right time to explain to the woman, so ignoring her blatantly, he put all his attention in making Feng Shufen believe in his authenticity. "Believe me, President Feng, our company will not break your trust. We would never breach the terms of the contract. We have not …"
"Breach the contract? Mr. Zheng, sorry to interrupt, but we have methodically investigated it and your team is found guilty. The news of our project has been already spread without our permission and the source has been proved to be from your company. Because of it, our competitors have started working on similar ideas and now we are losing the money as well. Our shares are also losing their value. And it's not to be mentioned that in comparison to your company's share what value the shares of Feng Internationals holds."
Gao Fan interrupted to say. And his voice coming more stricter than before, showing the seriousness of the situation.
And what he said was not false. Feng Internationals was losing money along with Zheng Industries. But if the comparison has to be done, the difference between their losses would be huge.
The value of money that Feng Internationals would lose would be double of what Zheng Industries would be losing. The difference would be that it would be an easy pill for Feng Shufen to recover from it while Zheng Wenting would be weak enough to take the heavy blow.
So even in the loss, Feng International would not be losing something major while Zheng Industries would get to the brink of its end. And that was exactly the well thought plan of Feng Shufen from the very start. It was just that he didn't think this would come so fast. He wanted it to come at the perfect timing.
But since they have dared to lay their hands on Li Xue, their downfall has come prior time.
"President Feng, I-I understand. There must be something where I have lacked to manage my company but please understand, my company would not be able to take this heavy blow. We would be ruined. Give me some time and I will make sure there come no losses. Help us from this situation." Zheng Wenting almost begged but Feng Shufen didn't bat an eye to him.
Simply shrugging his shoulder, he said, "What made you ever think that I would have any plans to help the person who dares to offend me or my people?" Feng Shufen said faintly but his voice was enough firm to be audible to ears.
Offend him!
Zheng Wenting was confused. His brows that were already tugged in concern, scrunched more in uncertainty. Was he still talking about the project information leak? He wasn't sure.
His eyes went back to read the proof again. This time in more detail and patience. Something in those words seemed different, more like a trap for him. Was he missing something?
While at the side, with the fragments of their talk Wen Sying has understood half of the story to know that Zheng Wenting was in trouble and on the brink of losing everything. But what she couldn't understand was how the hell did he offend him.
Could it be he is referring to the talks that happened at their engagement party?
Understanding the possibility, she immediately interjected in the topic as if other than her no one had the right information to say. "President Feng, we couldn't dare to offend you. If you really feel that anything in our party offended you, it was not from us. Li Xue has started it on her own and we had no idea about it. Please don't hold us accountable for her words."
Her words were enough to flare the anger Feng Shufen was holding inside him all this while. But just when he was about to burst on it, Zheng Wenting on the side interrupted with an edged voice. "Sying, what are you doing? It's not about her then why are you bringing Li Xue into all this? Don't you know how severe is our situation?"
Hearing the man chide her like this, Wen Sying bit on her lower lip. She couldn't believe even in a situation like this the man was siding with her. "Wenting, how am I saying it wrong? She has been the one who brought us in a situation like this…to the brink where you could lose everything. Why should I still defend her? Furthermore, isn't all this happening because she said all that last night?"
"Sying, that's enough. I already said don't bring her into this. She has nothing to do with this. Even if it is, I can handle it. So just don't include her." He said, showing his possession over Li Xue, before turning back to look at Feng Shufen. But this time, his eyes didn't hold any pleading rather an attitude that was screaming that he wouldn't accept the defeat.
"President Feng, why are you doing this? I am sure this couldn't just be about one project.. You are deliberately aiming at me and my company."
