"You are indeed smart. In that case, I won't beat around the bush with you. You've already started school and registered. Have your teachers already spoken to you?"
Ye Qing nodded: "I've looked into it. They were talking about the project that the school is collaborating on with your company."
"So, would you like to go abroad?" Yang Zi asked.
Ye Qing said, "I'm afraid this isn't a question of whether I want to or not. Since you've come to me, Mr. Yang, there must be conditions. I need to hear the conditions first before I can weigh them and make a decision."
Yang Zi smiled and said, "That's true. Actually, it's not a harsh condition. After all, our company is providing you with financial assistance, so we definitely have to think about our company first."
Ye Qing nodded in understanding. After a moment of silence, Yang Zi said, "It's okay if you don't close your store. Qingye's brand will be transferred to us and become a sub-brand under Zitai Fashion. Your store's location is very good; it can become one of our company's flagship stores."
Ye Qing had been smiling politely, but after hearing Yang Zi's words, she no longer wanted to wear a fake smile: "Should I thank President Yang for giving me this opportunity?"
This is truly a case of a big company bullying its customers.
To go abroad, I'm going to give all my savings to Taizi Fashion?!
If Ye Qing had been somewhat tempted and hesitant before, now he was completely without any hesitation.
Yang Zi could tell that Ye Qing's words were sarcastic. She said, "Ye Qing, you are still young and have a long future ahead of you. Being young and impetuous is not always a good thing."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Being young and impetuous may not be a good thing, but it's not all bad either."
Yang Zi knew that the talks with Ye Qing would not go smoothly, but she still did it. Besides valuing talent and recognizing Ye Qing's design talent, it was also because Zitai Fashion was currently in a period of transition. It seemed to be doing very well because there were no competitors, so Yang Zi, as the boss and designer, could still hold on.
However, Ye Shuwei's emergence made it increasingly difficult for Taizi Fashion to maintain its original market share, and the new designer was not able to stand on his own for a while.
Yang Zi needs to prepare in advance.
Besides her design talent, Ye Qing is also Ye Shuwei's daughter, and they have a bad relationship. Yang Zi thinks that by taking advantage of the conflict between Ye Qing and Ye Shuwei, Ye Qing might be able to help Zitai Fashion break through.
The clothing line that Yang Zi collaborated on with Ye Qing last time is a good example. It seemed like the collaboration was going to fall through, but Ye Qing managed to turn the tide. Yang Zi couldn't say she was happy at the time, but after calming down and thinking about it, she realized she had a newfound respect for Ye Qing.
Not everyone can achieve what Ye Qing did at such a young age.
Now, Ye Qing has once again used her uncompromising attitude to express her stance.
Yang Zi was silent for a moment before saying, "I've stated the conditions; you should think about it carefully."
Ye Qing had already made his stance clear, but Yang Zi still said the same thing. There was no need for Ye Qing to directly break off relations with her. Ye Qing understood the principle of leaving room for maneuver when meeting someone, so that they could meet again in the future.
After Yang Zi left, Xu Xiaoyue came out from the inner room and angrily asked Ye Qing, "Did I hear that right?"
Ye Qing nodded: "I heard right."
"Oh my god, how can they bully people like this?" Xu Xiaoyue was very indignant: "It's because your desire to pursue further studies isn't very strong. Otherwise, if you had agreed to their conditions, wouldn't you have ended up working for Zitai Fashion?"
"So you don't need to be so angry. After all, as you said, my desire to pursue further studies isn't that strong."
No sooner had Ye Qing finished speaking than someone asked, "Where are you going to study?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ye Qing turned to look at the doorway. Xi Yue and a woman Ye Qing didn't recognize entered.
"This is my friend, she's here to look at some clothes." Before Ye Qing could even speak, Xi Yue took the initiative to state her purpose.
Xu Xiaoyue stood up to greet Xi Yue's friends.
Ye Qing originally wanted to go too, but then she heard Xi Yue's voice: "I just heard you say you were going to take further studies. Where are you going to take further studies? Aren't you going to keep this shop open?"
It wasn't really a secret, and Ye Qing thought it was fine to say it, but just as she was about to speak, she remembered Xi Yue's previous actions and swallowed her words: "It's nothing, just chatting with Xu Xiaoyue."
Because of Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue's smile froze: "Ye Qing, are you being so wary of my mother now?"
“I used to be completely unguarded with you, and I told you everything,” Ye Qing said.
"But that person is your biological father. He wants to know about your situation. Wasn't it right of me to tell him?"
Previously, Ye Qing thought Xi Yue might just be a bit simple-minded, but now these words made Ye Qing think that this person might be some kind of naive and innocent person: "He is my biological father, but do you know what my biological father wants to do to me?"
"But he is your biological father. Are you just going to watch him die?" Xi Yue retorted.
Ye Qing felt that she and Xi Yue really couldn't see eye to eye. Xi Yue liked Ye Shuwei and definitely didn't want Ye Shuwei to die, so in her opinion, it was understandable that Ye Shuwei would do something to survive.
Although Ye Qing hated his father who hadn't appeared for over a decade, if Ye Shuwei had directly expressed his attitude from the beginning, or if Ye Shuwei had acted like a father from the start, Ye Qing might not have been so strongly opposed and refused to have the surgery.
Who made Ye Shuwei a hypocrite from the very beginning?
These things are beyond Xi Yue's ability to explain, and even if she were to explain them, Xi Yue might not understand.
This is probably what they call not being able to see eye to eye. Ye Qing smiled but didn't reply. Xi Yue's friend was also straightforward; he paid for what he liked and then planned to leave.
Xi Yue originally wanted to ask Ye Qing, but seeing Ye Qing's attitude, she knew she didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she left first.
Ye Qing originally thought that going abroad was not a big deal, as it was entirely her own decision. However, Xi Yue's attitude made Ye Qing feel a little uneasy.
As it was time to close the shop that night, Ye Qing's unease was confirmed.
Ye Shuang has arrived.
Is it just bad luck or something? One by one, they've come looking for me.
"Come tomorrow if you want to buy clothes, I'm closing the shop soon," Ye Qing said to Ye Shuang.
"I'm not buying clothes, I just want to tell you something. Aren't you going abroad? Then hurry up and go, don't hesitate," Ye Shuang said anxiously.
Ye Qing narrowed her eyes, but before she could speak, Ye Shuang continued, "I know you don't believe me, but Ye Qing, what I told you last time I came to see you was true. I genuinely hoped you could be alright."
"I have no intention of going abroad," Ye Qing said.
“You didn’t expect it, but my uncle found out about that project at your school. Whether you want it or not, he said he can’t let anything go wrong.”
