Ye Qing's words were just her guess, but seeing Xi Quan's expression, Ye Qing knew she was right, and reiterated her attitude: "I appreciate your kindness."
“I understand you don’t want any connection with me, but you’re here at Zitai Fashion because you’re my wife. My office was just a temporary arrangement. Where are you going to set up another office now? If the office is too small, the people at Zitai Fashion will feel pressured, since you’re the general manager and your office is smaller than theirs. If they give you their own offices, would you feel comfortable moving in? Although it may seem like it doesn’t matter, it will make people think you’re abusing your power. The best option is to use my office.”
After Xi Quan finished speaking, fearing that Ye Qing would object again, he added, "Although you have been working all these years, you are still abroad and may not be very familiar with the office environment in Nancheng. I think you need to gradually understand and adapt. The office may seem like a small issue, but there is actually a lot to learn about it."
It is a matter of knowledge, but it's not as serious as Xi Quan makes it out to be.
The reason Xi Quan insisted on letting Ye Qing use his office was not only because Ye Qing would be in charge of the fashion show later, but more importantly, it was to reaffirm the fact that Ye Qing was his wife.
Although everyone already knew about it because of Ye Qing's press conference, Xi Quan felt he still needed to deepen everyone's impression. Although doing so didn't mean Ye Qing would never bring up divorce again, Xi Quan thought it might just work out in the end, and this was one of the opportunities he was seizing.
He had no reason to give up.
Ye Qing didn't want to get too involved with Xi Quan. Although it was just an office and seemed like nothing, Ye Qing refused not because she knew Xi Quan's ulterior motives, but because she was worried about herself. She was worried that working in an office filled with Xi Quan's scent would gradually make her soften again.
Although Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan hadn't spent much time in the office at Zitai Fashion, she still couldn't quite get over her own mental block.
Seeing that he had already gone this far, Ye Qing still wanted to refuse, so Xi Quan said again: "If what I said before still can't dispel your hesitation, then think about what you said in the meeting just now. You are leading everyone to make money, and you don't care about some small things. If that's the case, why go through the trouble of having someone prepare another office for you?"
Ye Qing actually knew what Xi Quan was saying, and after hesitating for a long time, Ye Qing finally nodded.
Seeing Ye Qing nod, Xi Quan was very happy.
Xi Quan had originally planned to go to Ye Qing's office to talk for a while, but he left first because he was afraid Ye Qing would get annoyed.
To avoid overthinking things, Ye Qing called Yang Zi and Liu Yuliang together to discuss the future development plan that had been discussed at the meeting.
The new season's clothes were no longer usable for Liu Wei, so Ye Qing also prepared some for others. She added some details to the original new designs to differentiate them from those that had been accused of plagiarism.
Although it has been proven that there was no plagiarism, since everyone already knows about it, there's less of a surprise. We're not worried about the clothing anymore; the popularity of Zitai Fashion is still going strong. Whether people know about Zitai Fashion recently because of that plagiarism incident or because of the gossip at Ye Qing's press conference, there's always buzz, which is more effective than advertising. Of course, we should strike while the iron is hot.
Yang Zi and Liu Yuliang both agreed with Ye Qing's opinion. All three of them entered the industry through design, so they found it easy to communicate.
Once the route is determined, the next step is to design other items besides clothing, such as shoes and bags.
Liu Yuliang and Yang Zi went to find a shoe designer, while Ye Qing started thinking about bags and clothing on her own.
After Yang Zi and Liu Yuliang left, Ye Qing drew a few sketches and then thought of trying them out on the models with the fabric, so he asked his assistant to find a few models.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, the assistant entered Ye Qing's office and pushed open a door next to the bookshelf: "We have models ready-made."
Ye Qing was astonished by the furnishings inside the door.
Seeing that Ye Qing had already seen it, the assistant tactfully went out first.
Everything inside the door was perfect for Ye Qing, who was studying design. There was a cutting workbench, a sewing machine, and besides needles, thread, and mannequins, there was also some fabric.
The mannequins used by the designers are made of cloth, so they are used for stitching and are quite different from the mannequins displayed in clothing store windows.
But in this room, everything was so perfect.
Thinking back to whose office this used to be, Ye Qing suddenly realized.
Is this why Xi Quan insisted on working in this office? Because he had already prepared everything?!
Despite these questions and confusions, Ye Qing was more moved than anything else. She felt that she had to do even better. So, following this feeling, she reorganized the ideas she had just come up with, draped the fabric over the mannequin, and gradually transformed the fabric into the prototype of a garment in her hands.
Ye Qing left the office after she finished and felt fairly satisfied with what she had done, ready to go home.
It was already getting dark. Thinking of her two children at home, Ye Qing quickened her pace, only to find Xi Quan standing at the entrance of Zitai Fashion.
Why are you here?
"I'll come pick you up from get off work." Xi Quan said it casually, but Ye Qing was a little tempted. It was a perfectly normal sentence, but she, who had always been alone, never thought that one day someone would say to her, "I'll come pick you up from get off work."
However, considering her current awkward relationship with Xi Quan, Ye Qing didn't show her gratitude. She said, "Now that you're here, what will happen to Ranran and Xinxin?"
“My grandparents are watching over them. They called me in the afternoon to say that they took the two children to their place and told us not to worry.”
"Oh." If Ye Qing had heard this a couple of days ago, her reaction might have been more intense. But right now, Ye Qing was still immersed in the series of unexpected events that Xi Quan had given her, so she didn't think much of it. She was the one who asked the question, but her answer was a bit perfunctory.
After giving a perfunctory reply, Ye Qing pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Thank you."
Xi Quan, who had just fastened his seatbelt and was about to drive, paused for a moment upon hearing Ye Qing's words and asked, "What?"
"The office." After saying this simply, Ye Qing, fearing that Xi Quan might not understand, added, "Thank you for arranging the office for me and everything in it!"
Xi Quan is always a man of action rather than words. Hearing Ye Qing's explanation, she knew that Ye Qing had seen it. She hadn't originally intended to say much, but seeing that Ye Qing seemed a little embarrassed, Xi Quan changed her mind and asked, "How are you going to thank me?"
