Greedy? Demanded money? Immoral? What nonsense.
Kong Liu's mind went blank as she hears the unedited recording. Her feet lost their strength, she clutched Kong Wei's arm for support who himself was sweating nervously.
Has she just played the entire audio recording?
This was a public event, and XM played the original recording where Kong's have threatened, cursed and blackmailed her openly. This means along with Kong Liu XM recorded their conversation too.
Kong Wei didn't know when the recording had stopped; his concentration was on reporters who equally recorded everything as the audio played.
This was International media; no one can bribe them. His power is limited to Country B and a few other underdeveloped neighboring countries. Did he just dig his own grave by messing with XM?
The career he had spent so many years growing and planning for the future will it end just at the time when he was about to become the President of the nation.
"This is the original audio recording; if any of my media friends is interested in the video recording they can download it from R-Tech's website, wee uploaded it a minute ago along with the proof that the video is original and not edited." Xiu Mei informed the media without sparing a glance at the Kong family.
Mr. Qiao was over the moon as XM keeps on stomping over the fake pictures and audio recording to clear out her name. He sneered looking at Kong Da and his kids. Being in the corporate circle, he was well aware of what kind of businessman Kong Da was.
To get things done in his way Kong Da can go to any extent.
But today, a young fearless girl was airing his and his kids' dirty deeds in media.
'Bravo young lady! This old man bow to you' He jumped inwardly, his eyes stuck to XM's face. Although hidden, it failed to hide her charm.
Xiu Mei's evidences were really conclusive…
At the end of the presentation, Xiu Mei spread her hands out before clasping them in front, "I'm sure the explanation is more than enough to see the truth" Xiu Mei understood the thoughts running through the heads of these people. Holding her breath, she scanned her eyes across the hall, "How ironic it is, just a moment ago everyone was questioning my character, calling me greedy and now all of a sudden opinions changed? No thanks! Keep everything to yourself. And think twice before raising a question at me"
The delegates below the stage looked down feeling ashamed. They wanted to give her a loud round of applause but XM's last sentence completely trampled over their pride.
"Oh! My Sister Mei Mei is so cool. Thinking about all these people I'm dying to laugh at their faces. I love you Sister Mei Mei..." Feng Junjie's words stuck inside his mouth when he felt a strong grip on his thigh. "Oww… brother…. Sorry! I said it by mistake… it's not that type I love you it's my type love…. No not love but like… it's like love you… no not like love but love love… I mean only love like… Hold On! Sigh..." He sighed, "Big bro, punishment!?"
"You will walk back to the hotel after the summit, NO CAR!"
"Can I use public transport instead?"
"NO LIFT. Use stairs to reach your room"
Feng Junjie "…"'Oh, God! Don't give me this monster brother next time. He is a big bully'
*****
All the eyes in the hall turned and glared at the Kongs.
Worst of all, everyone in the hall was now aware that it was a well-planned action against XM by Kong Da and kids, they used there power and influence to bully her.
However what surprised them was XM's through preparation to come out of the stick situation. It seems she was always one step ahead…
Meanwhile, the media reporters pointed Dictaphone outwards at Kong Liu and Kong Wei who was standing nearest to the stage.
"Miss. Kong, why did you planned all this against XM"
"Mr. Wei, we heard you cursing XM in the clip. Is this how a potential Presidential candidate should behave with a woman?"
"XM is a prestigious guest at this summit. Don't you think you have closed the doors of direct investment in Country B?"
"Does this mean that Kong's have always used unethical means to come out of tricky situations?"
"I…." Kong Liu stuttered at reporters; her face was terrifiengly red.
"There are many cases about you in the past… But nothing much is mentioned about them on internet. Had you disposed off the case using same means?" A sharp female reporter got up from her seat and directly approached Kong Da.
Kong Da sneered at the reporter. Although he was seething in anger, his future plans wouldn't allow him to act out of line. So he took the Dictaphone from the reporter, holding it near mouth he questioned the woman standing on stage.
"XM, you seem quite brutal with me and my kids. From the day 1 you were disrespectful towards us. No matter how much I tried talking to you in a civilized manner, yet your sharp comments didn't stop. Everyone saw how you politely accepted Mr. Qiao's dinner invitation but rejected mine ruthlessly, stating the reason of your busy schedule"
"May you please enlighten me where was your busy schedule while accepting Mr. Qiao's invitation. May you please enlighten me why did you blew up the incident as small as brushing someone's feet with walking stick, and destroyed my company in the process"
"Do you think I'm not aware that Kong IT's share are declining fast due to someone pulling the strings. Other than R-Tech who can it be? I had no past grudges against you and R-Tech than how did I offend you to receive this treatment? Could it be that you want to wipe out the competition from the market by eating my company"
Kong Da's words were clear and precise. Undoubtedly his questions were valid, making all the media present startled.
"Who said I don't have grudge against you? Of course, you have offended me years back" Xiu Mei answered, her face didn't contain much emotion; her tone releasing the powerful anger she had concealed inside her.
