Liu Yuliang was already feeling a bit regretful for talking too much, but then Ye Qing started pressing Liu Wei for answers, which made him even more nervous.
However, at first Liu Yuliang didn't quite grasp Ye Qing's thinking and couldn't respond calmly. But now Liu Yuliang was mentally prepared. When he heard Ye Qing ask Liu Wei, although he was surprised, he was no longer flustered. He said, "Ye Qing, our cooperation was pretty good before, but now we're keeping to ourselves. The personnel changes at Zitai Fashion have nothing to do with you, right?"
Ye Qing nodded: "It seems like it's unrelated, but I heard that Zitai Fashion was acquired by Shengshi. You should know that Xi Quan and I have two children. I can't be completely unprepared for the custody battle. So I need to fully understand Xi Quan's plans and carefully analyze his weaknesses. That way, I can be well-prepared when I fight for custody, and maybe I can even deliver a fatal blow."
"You and Xiaoyue are really friends, both ruthless. Given such a big conflict with Xi Quan, I think it's not surprising what he does," Liu Yuliang remarked.
“You’re talking about me. What do I have to do with Xiaoyue? You can’t force feelings.” Ye Qing was stunned for a moment before she realized what Liu Yuliang meant.
Liu Yuliang nodded: "I know, feelings can't be forced. I'm just expressing my feelings."
Over the years, Liu Yuliang has been able to manage Qingye so well largely because he likes Xiaoyue, but Xiaoyue doesn't like him. To be honest, it's a bit cruel for Liu Yuliang to keep watching Xiaoyue's relationships and breakups go through this cycle.
So Liu Yuliang's reply to Ye Qing with such a remark, although somewhat irrelevant, made it difficult for Ye Qing to continue asking questions.
However, Ye Qing didn't ask because she was embarrassed, and also because she had already gotten some information from Liu Yuliang's words. Although it wasn't much, it was still pretty good. If she asked any further, she figured she would get some more information.
After leaving the fashion studio, Ye Qing processed what Liu Yuliang had said.
Could it be that Xi Quan acquired Zitai Fashion to help himself?
From Liu Yuliang's words, Ye Qing could tell that he didn't intend to scheme against him. He said that the new season's designs for Qingye that Ye Qing had given him must have original drafts, which was natural. Moreover, Ye Qing had a habit of writing the date on the drafts when he drew them.
The final draft given to Liu Yuliang had a date on it, and my initial draft also had a date. If Liu Wei wanted to retaliate against me and used the design drafts that Liu Yuliang had taken from Qingye, Liu Wei would definitely not gain any advantage in the end.
When Liu Wei was discovered to have plagiarized Ye Qing's design drafts, Zitai Fashion reacted, which affected Liu Wei's business. It's understandable that Liu Wei wants to retaliate against Zitai Fashion now. Is she now cooperating with Zitai Fashion to humiliate the original founder of Zitai Fashion, Yang Zi?
If that's the case, Ye Qing believes that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
So Ye Qing found the contact information that Yang Zi had left him a few years ago, hoping to find Yang Zi through it.
Yang Zi was quite surprised and taken aback when she received Ye Qing's call. In the end, she asked Ye Qing to come to her house to find her.
Following the address Yang Zi gave her, Ye Qing bought some fruit baskets and took them there.
Upon seeing Ye Qing again, Yang Zi was filled with emotion: "When I first met you, although your clothes looked refreshing, you still seemed a bit timid, as if you were forcing yourself to be brave. Now you exude confidence and charm. It seems that time really can change a person."
Ye Qing smiled and thanked Yang Zi for her praise.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Zi asked directly, "What do you need me for?"
"I've heard about the Zitai Fashion thing." Since Yang Zi asked, Ye Qing was also very direct.
Yang Zi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I'm too old, so I was eliminated."
"Mr. Yang, are you just going to admit it like that?" Ye Qing asked.
After a moment of silence, Yang Zi said, "I don't know what else I can do. Back when you were still out there, the reason why Zitai Fashion was willing to cooperate with your Qingye was because it was on the decline. At that time, we were a little afraid to face reality, but now we have to. The new generation surpasses the old. I admit that I have failed."
"Perhaps you are indeed a bit out of touch with current trends in design..."
Before Ye Qing could finish speaking, Yang Zi chuckled self-deprecatingly; "You're still so direct, aren't you? Since you've already said that, why did you come to me in the first place?"
Ye Qing was a little uneasy when Yang Zi interrupted her. She thought Yang Zi was angry. But when she heard Yang Zi say this, she was relieved to know that Yang Zi was not angry. She continued, "But President Yang, you are very good at management. Otherwise, Zitai Fashion would not have developed so quickly and become the leading enterprise in Nancheng."
"But now, the fashion style is already at its peak."
"It depends on whether you want to go back or not. Besides, Liu Wei is also at Zz1tai Fashion now. I don't know if she's collaborating with Zz1tai Fashion or what. I have a conflict with Liu Wei, so I won't comment on her. As a senior in the design industry, from a professional perspective, do you think Liu Wei, as a designer, can lead Zz1tai Fashion to regain its former glory?" Ye Qing asked rhetorically.
Yang Zi, with a clear head, said, "Liu Wei probably just wants to ruin Ziza Fashion. Back then, Ziza Fashion caused their factory to suffer considerable losses for its own benefit."
Ye Qing asked, "Since you see it so clearly, Mr. Yang, are you just going to stand by and watch the reputation of Zitai Fashion be completely ruined?"
"What do you want to do?" After staring at Ye Qing for a long time, Yang Zi asked, "Or rather, what do you want me to do?"
Hearing Yang Zi say this, Ye Qing knew that her attitude had softened. She took a deep breath and said her thoughts: "Once Liu Wei's matter is resolved, Zi Zi and Qing Ye will cooperate, just like the co-branded products we had before. Back then it was a temporary cooperation, but now it's a long-term cooperation."
"Zitai and Qingye have merged to become two parallel brands. While maintaining Qingye's original high-end customization approach, we are building Zitai Fashion and Qingye together into a fashion group, becoming a global brand, similar to the world-renowned luxury brand L'Oréal. In addition to clothing, we also design and manufacture bags, shoes, and more."
Yang Zi was deeply moved as she listened. Although she said she was too old and had been eliminated, she still felt unwilling to accept it.
However, after her initial excitement, Yang Zi gradually calmed down: "The one who calls the shots at Zitai Fashion now is Shengshi, which is Xi Quan, and you know him too."
Since Ye Qing came to find Yang Zi, it must have been thought out: "I know, but I have a way to give us the power to speak. Zitai Fashion has its own production line, so mass production and custom-made products are not a problem. As for designers, we need to find them carefully."
