Chapter 1179 Fundamentals to maintain peace

Making Li Xue walkout from LS cosmetics hasn't struck in the plans of Lin Xinyi, but at the moment hearing this from the people, she doesn't find it to be a bad idea.

Although leaving the working partner in the mid of some problem wasn't her style, never was; still, at a point like this, she has to bring herself to think more about Li Xue as she was her priority. And this problem going online was causing really great damage to the initial plan of goal she has drawn for her.

Lin Xinyi thought about it for a while as she looked at the people sitting opposite to her. Making herself firm in her thoughts, she decided her words internally, ready to speak. "This …"

But before she could hardly begin, Li Xue interrupted from the side to say, "You all are overthinking the things. We never had any plans of abandoning our deal. Sister Xinyi never discussed it with me, nor has she ever thought about it." She said, avoiding the turned gaze Lin Xinyi was giving to her.

Su Fai had the information of everything going around. But for some reason at the table right now, he was feeling two people clashing. Though it couldn't be clearly heard in the room, sitting beside the two ladies, he could very comfortably feel it.

The LS cosmetics people eased up a little but they haven't put their guards down yet. One can easily say that if right now they see Li Xue's attitude changing even the slightest, they would be ready to go for another round of begging.

Li Xue understood their concern well so to make them believe more, she added to say, "Before I sign with your brand, Sister Xinyi went through your everything. Although your brand has been very much new to the industry, you have used quite fair means and processes to set it up. There is no way I could doubt your means. And apart from you and your brand, I can't dare to doubt Sister Xinyi."

She said as she turned to look at Li Xinyi with a smile of admiration and respect. "Your brand is something she has chosen for me. And her insight couldn't be wrong. I believe that and has always done." She said looking at the woman with warm eyes but not even for a moment, Lin Xinyi's expression changed.

Knowing that Lin Xinyi won't be easing up any soon, Li Xue turned back to look at the LS people.

They were really grateful to hear Li Xue saying so. Suddenly feeling all confident, they reciprocated to her faith with their assurance, "Ms. Lin Xinyi, Ms. Li Xue, we are really grateful to you. We never thought that when the world would be doubting us and our products, you would be having faith in us. This means a lot. Rest assured, we would not let you guys suffer for many days. We will soon find a way out of this."

They said and Li Xue smiled and nodded to them. Lin Xinyi also forced a smile while Su Fai stood up to shake hands with them as they as well stood up to leave.

"Xiao Meng!" Lin Xinyi called and at her call like that, Xiao Meng came in immediately. "Walk Mr. Jin and his people out." She said before giving a polite nod of goodbye to everybody.

Xiao Meng nodded as well and soon took everyone out.

Once everyone was gone, it was just Su Fai, Lin Xinyi, and Li Xue back in the room. Fo a good moment of time, none spoke. So, to break the ice, Su Fai thought of starting. "It settled well. The LS cosmetics now would definitely work their ass off to tidy out the things spreading out."

He said and Li Xue was about to speak when Lin Xinyi turned to ask, getting all sharp. "Li Xue, what was that? Were you having something in your mind or was your intention was simply to taunt me?" She asked, turning to look at Li Xue directly.

For a moment, Li Xue didn't understand. Feeling perplexed, she asked, "Sister Xinyi, what intention are you talking about? I didn't mean any such thing. Did I do something wrong?"

Although Lin Xinyi wanted to believe the girl, at the time she was too irritated to do so. So, smiling, she simply nodded to say. "Yes, you did. You just kicked away the opportunity that was left for you to return back to the league of your career goal."

"You mean …"

"What I mean was simple. If you have not interrupted that time then up until now, I would have already made them clear that you would not be remaining associated with their brand anymore."

Lin Xinyi said while on the side, Su Fai scooted a little away from her in fear. He doesn't know why but the fury of the woman was scaring him. He doesn't understand how Li Xue was at such ease at the moment. If it had been anyone else, they would have already taken the cue to walk farther to save themselves.

But Li Xue just sat there as if she was in the mood to discuss things thoroughly with Lin Xinyi.

Keeping her best patience in check, Li Xue remained humble. She knew the fundamentals to maintain peace. When one party is enraged, the other should maintain peace to balance out. And here the balancing party must have to be her. So how could she bear to lose her calm and patience?

"From last day itself, we have been trying to make that girl meet us. But every time, she is refusing us. Do you know how hard it is?" Lin Xinyi said and on her face the wither of sleep was clear. She must not have slept last night.

Li Xue couldn't believe that after putting her at peace, the woman herself has worked all night to make things right. Did she do something wrong by interrupting before? She thought for a while but then shook her head. Nope, what she did was right. For walking out might have saved them today but would have given guilt for forever. And living in some guilt could never be good.

"Sister Xinyi, ending our association like this wouldn't have been ethical. And going against ethics isn't something I heard you ever commit." Li Xue said and her words like that paused Lin Xinyi for a moment. "LS cosmetic hasn't been wrong in the scenario and leaving them just to save ourselves would have left them on a tough spot. I am sure if given an option to you back in time, you would have also not agreed to it."

She said and she wasn't wrong to think it that way for Lin Xinyi would have also been the same as her. It was just that this time she wasn't able to find a way out of things that she had turned out desperate to think in that way. But now that Li Xue was reminding her things one after the other, she was feeling nothing but guilty to herself.

"Li Xue, I …" Lin Xinyi's tone changed and so did her attitude. She looked like she had returned back to herself where she could think properly.

Li Xue smiled, "I understand, Sister Xinyi. And believe me, I didn't believe your previous words for I know that was not you."

Lin Xinyi shook her head. "Nope, Li Xue. Don't believe me too much. What if I have missed a thing while inspecting LS. There may be a problem with them. After all, a company could never be too transparent." She said but Li Xue shook her head.

"LS is not at fault, Sister Xinyi. Someone else is."

Lin Xinyi frowned, not understanding what she meant. "Huh? What do you mean?"
