When Ye Qing saw that Xi Quan had noticed her, she hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your leg..."
Xi Quan had already changed his clothes and came over. He put his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder and walked out, saying nonchalantly, "You saw it, right? It's nothing really. Although it doesn't look as good, it doesn't affect anything. Why don't you give it a try?"
What was originally a very serious topic became quite unserious after Xi Quan brought it up!
Ye Qing playfully punched Xi Quan, then followed him outside. Thinking about what she had just seen, she realized she was standing behind Xi Quan, so she only saw the back of his leg. The scar ran from the vein behind Xi Quan's knee all the way to the front of his leg, and it looked like it was pointing upwards.
Ye Qing couldn't bear to imagine what Xi Quan had gone through back then, with such a long scar!
Seeing Ye Qing's worried expression, Xi Quan kissed her to distract her, and then things gradually got out of control.
After Ye Qing fell asleep, Xi Quan held her in his arms and gently kissed the top of her head, his eyes full of tenderness. However, when he thought about how Ye Qing had accidentally touched the scar on his leg earlier, although she had concealed it well and did not show any abnormality, Xi Quan still felt that Ye Qing's hand trembled slightly when she touched his scar.
He didn't mind Ye Qing's reaction. In fact, when Xi Quan saw the scar himself, he also found it gruesome. Although as a man, having a scar is nothing, especially since it was on his leg and could not be seen normally, his only concern was that the location where the scar meandered was a bit... frightening.
To be honest, this was something Xi Quan had been worried about.
However, since Ye Qing returned and he saw her, although he didn't do anything, Xi Quan knew there was absolutely no problem, and this was just confirmed.
Since everything was fine, he thought he shouldn't let Ye Qing worry, and he would try to find a way to cover up the scar.
Having made up his mind, Xi Quan quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Xi Quan got up early again to buy breakfast before waking Ye Qing up. Since Ye Qing still had a limp, Xi Quan took her to work.
When Ye Qing was about to get out of the car at Zitai Fashion, Xi Quan said, "You don't need to worry about Xu Ying. She can't handle much trouble."
Although Ye Qing had told Xi Quan about it yesterday, Xi Quan's attitude was somewhat dismissive at the time. In addition, Ye Qing had only just learned a little about what Xi Quan had experienced over the years, so all of Ye Qing's attention was on Xi Quan. As for meeting Xu Ying, Ye Qing didn't think too much about it.
Hearing Xi Quan say this, Ye Qing was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm actually not too worried. When I met with her, she had someone take photos, probably to create some gossip or something. As I told you, the photos have been exposed, so for the time being, there shouldn't be any problems. The only thing is... our relationship with Xu Ying. If the reporters find out... we're not guilty, but outsiders don't know many things, and they can easily be misled into thinking that we're trying to destroy Xu Ying."
Xi Quan nodded: "I know what you're saying. What I mean by not letting you worry is that you don't need to worry about these things either."
Ye Qing blinked. "You have a plan?"
"Just focus on your design work, I'll take care of all the other miscellaneous things." Xi Quan didn't directly answer Ye Qing's question, but his words were reassuring.
Moreover, Ye Qing has now figured out Chu Quan's personality; when there are things he doesn't want to talk about, asking more questions is useless.
Xi Quan's attitude now seemed to indicate that he didn't want to say too much. Since that was the case, Ye Qing didn't ask any further questions. She nodded to indicate that she understood and then got out of the car.
Xi Quan waited until Ye Qing entered the outfit and could no longer see his back before leaving.
Because Liu Yuliang was the first to discover Xu Ying's affair, Liu Yuliang came to Ye Qing's office shortly after she arrived, before she could even look for him, asking, "What should we do about Xu Ying's matter?"
"Let's do what we agreed on yesterday: temporarily halt filming with her," Ye Qing said. However, noticing Liu Yuliang's hesitation, she asked, "What's wrong? Is there some difficulty?"
"Replacing Xu Ying is no problem. We can just have someone else shoot the same series of clothes she originally did. At most, we'll just have to pay the other models a little more. That's not a big issue. The key problem now is Xu Ying's agency. They say they've signed with us, and if we don't let Xu Ying shoot, they'll make us pay a penalty for breach of contract. And they're asking for an exorbitant amount. Not everyone in the company will necessarily agree to pay that much money, and they might start gossiping about you, given your relationship..."
Although it's only the year 2000, the entertainment industry in Nancheng has gradually developed in recent years, and people are paying more attention to the binding force of contracts.
Ye Qing wasn't unaware of this issue; it was just that after learning Xu Ying was also connected with Zitai Fashion, he became a bit anxious and focused solely on resolving the matter quickly, thus overlooking some details.
Seeing Ye Qing deep in thought, Liu Yuliang continued, "Furthermore, we're currently in a lawsuit with Liu Wei, and based on the current evidence, we're certain to win. If we don't replace Xu Ying according to the contract, and her agency continues to press the issue, it will indeed be detrimental to us. Of course, this detriment is to our reputation. It's normal for Zitai Fashion to have some negative press these past few years, but now that it's been acquired by Xiquan, and you've become the new boss, and you have a grudge against Liu Wei, plus Xu Ying, if the reporters find out about this..."
Ye Qing nodded, agreeing with Liu Yuliang's words. Over the years, she had seen many similar things abroad, but back then Ye Qing was just a designer, and she didn't need to worry about such things. Now, she was not only a designer but also a manager, so there were some things she couldn't ignore.
It seems that he has temporarily established his authority by making his first big move with the fashion brand, namely the fight with Liu Wei. No one can refute him now. If he doesn't handle Xu Ying's matter well, he might end up stirring up trouble.
Ye Qing pondered for a moment and then asked Liu Yuliang, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"I did think of one, but to be honest, it's not a great idea. However, compared to the cost of replacing Xu Ying, I think it might be worth a try," Liu Yuliang said, not entirely certain.
Ye Qing: "Tell me what you think. We've been working together for so long. You've been managing everything in Qingye before. You're definitely more experienced than me in terms of management and overall situation."
Liu Yuliang didn't intend to hide anything, and since Ye Qing had said so, he simply explained his thoughts.
