In the years since Ye Qing left, Nancheng has changed a lot. Many native Nancheng residents have not returned to Nancheng for a long time and can hardly recognize it anymore, not to mention that Ye Qing was not very familiar with Nancheng before.
Although he wasn't familiar with the place, and although the place Ye Qing wanted to go to had lost its former glory in recent years, it was still a well-known place in Nancheng. So when Ye Qing called a taxi and told the driver where he wanted to go, the driver didn't hesitate at all and even reminisced with Ye Qing for a few moments.
Ye Qing smiled and chatted with his master for a few minutes, and got a general idea of the current state of the outfit.
That's right, Ye Qing is going to Zitai Fashion.
The fashion brand Zitai used to be very successful. Although it has declined somewhat, everyone was optimistic about its future when it was acquired by Xi Quan's Shengshi Group some time ago.
Ye Qing didn't say much about whether things would get better in the future, but from the driver's words, Ye Qing heard a familiar name: Wei Guang!
If Ye Qing remembered correctly, the small workshop-style clothing factory owned by Liu Wei's family was called Weiguang!
Ye Qing had initially only been guessing, but now, after overhearing the driver's casual conversation, she felt that she had really made the right choice in coming here.
It seems that Liu Wei is now connected to Zitai Fashion, and the way Zitai Fashion has become is probably largely due to Liu Wei.
If that's really the case, then Ye Qing can understand Liu Wei's attitude when they met before.
Because Taizi Fashion now has Liu Yuliang! Even if he can't bring down Ye Qing, if Liu Yuliang really collaborates with Liu Wei, he can at least annoy Ye Qing.
As for what role Xi Quan, who acquired Zitai Fashion, would play, Ye Qing didn't think about it for now. She came to Zitai Fashion today to see Liu Yuliang.
Let's sound out Liu Yuliang first.
When it came to the fashion show, Ye Qing really went to great lengths to meet Liu Yuliang.
Seeing Liu Yuliang's obvious surprise at seeing her, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Don't you recognize me?"
Liu Yuliang shook his head.
"You look very surprised. Are you surprised to see me here at Zitai Fashion or surprised that I'm back?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.
Liu Yuliang said, "I heard you were coming back, but I'm a little surprised to see you here."
Ye Qing smiled silently and said, "Surprised to see me in the Shitai Fashion outfit? I thought you would be prepared."
After speaking, Ye Qing put away her smile and looked at Liu Yuliang.
Liu Yuliang awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth, wanting to explain something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
If Ye Qing came to Liu Yuliang to say she didn't want to hear his explanation, that would be a lie. But since Liu Yuliang hadn't said anything, Ye Qing wasn't too disappointed. She said, "Our cooperation has always been very good. If you want to break up, you can just say so. Even if you don't discuss it with me or Xiaoyue, I can understand leaving Qingye. But what I can't understand is that you actually took my design drafts. Those are Qingye's new designs for the next season, which are going to be sampled, produced, and launched."
Ye Qing had already said all that, but Liu Yuliang still didn't say anything.
Ye Qing couldn't quite understand his attitude and was a little angry. Before coming, Ye Qing wanted to ask Liu Yuliang if he knew about Liu Wei, because Liu Yuliang also knew Liu Wei. Liu Wei was their classmate before she went in.
Liu Yuliang's silence now gave Ye Qing the feeling that he had tacitly agreed to everything, as if to say, "It's already like this, so think and say whatever you want."
Although Liu Yuliang's "I don't care" attitude was infuriating, Ye Qing had come all this way and left without gathering any information, so it was clear that her trip had been in vain.
Ye Qing never did anything in vain. Since he was here, he was determined to get some useful information out of him.
So even though Liu Yuliang remained silent, Ye Qing could find topics to probe his thoughts little by little. After organizing her thoughts, Ye Qing found a suitable angle to start: "To be honest, you have made great contributions to Qingye in the past few years. You have been in charge of all the business operations. I have also participated in the design, but compared to you, I have done less."
If you left Qingye because you felt your hard work wasn't respected, I understand, and I sincerely apologize. You are a designer, and a very good one at that. As a fellow designer, I understand wanting your own brand. Leaving Qingye to create your own brand is perfectly understandable. However, even if you joined Zitai Fashion, I doubt you'd be able to have your own brand. Although Zitai Fashion hasn't been as successful as it used to be, the Zitai brand remains a prestigious name.
To be honest, Liu Yuliang and Ye Qing rarely communicated. Although he had been in charge of Ye Qing's affairs for the past few years, he communicated more with Xu Xiaoyue. After that, Xu Xiaoyue would contact Ye Qing. Liu Yuliang rarely contacted Ye Qing directly. Although they were classmates before, it was only for a little over half a year. Moreover, since one was a boy and the other was a girl, they didn't have much interaction.
This also meant that Liu Yuliang didn't really know Ye Qing, so he never expected Ye Qing to say so much while he was silent.
Ye Qing's statements were all very rational judgments, but because Liu Yuliang didn't know Ye Qing very well, he didn't know what Ye Qing was trying to say. So, Liu Yuliang instinctively followed his true thoughts and said, "No, I don't have the kind of thoughts you're talking about."
Raising an eyebrow, Ye Qing was slightly taken aback: "It's not because of your so-called ideals, but because of Xiao Yue. You simply don't want to work with me anymore? If that's the case, you should have just said so. I wouldn't have stopped you. But you shouldn't have taken Qingye's new season's design drafts and left. That's a major taboo in the industry."
Ye Qing's words sounded a bit aggressive, but she just wanted to know if Liu Yuliang would use the design drafts to scheme against her.
All that was said before was just a prelude. It seemed like nonsense, but it was meant to catch Liu Yuliang off guard when he was completely confused by the questions. This made Liu Yuliang's answer more authentic.
It has to be said that Ye Qing's speaking strategy was really right. When Liu Yuliang heard Ye Qing mention the words "a major taboo in the industry," his scalp suddenly tingled, and he subconsciously tried to excuse himself: "Indeed, I took Qingye's design drafts for the next season, but I don't want to believe that they are all original drafts..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yuliang realized he had let something slip. He glanced awkwardly at Ye Qing, hoping she hadn't grasped the deeper meaning behind his words.
However, Ye Qing, who had come prepared, could easily understand the implication in Liu Yuliang's words. She pressed on while the iron was hot, asking, "What about Liu Wei? Does Liu Wei also have a collaboration with Zitai Fashion? Is it a simple collaboration or is there another purpose?"
