"You replaced Xu Ying simply because you were afraid that once people knew about your relationship with Xu Ying and Xu Ying's relationship with Xi Quan, they would make a big fuss and draw everyone's attention to gossip, so no one would care about the new season's collection for Zitai Fashion's comeback. This can be seen as a battle for Zitai Fashion's turnaround, and it can only succeed, it cannot fail, right?"
Ye Qing nodded, agreeing with Liu Yuliang's words. Of course, there was also the possibility that Xu Ying and Liang Youjie might be scheming against each other, but this involved some of Xi Quan's privacy issues, so Ye Qing didn't tell Liu Yuliang. However, those things didn't affect Liu Yuliang's judgment.
“But not many people know about your relationship with Xu Ying, or her relationship with Xi Quan. I’ve also heard Xu Xiaoyue vaguely mention that Xi Quan divorced Xu Ying because of her problems, and most people can’t tolerate Xu Ying’s actions. So I don’t think Xu Ying necessarily wants people to know about your relationship. I guess her main goal is more money. We can just give her more money. It’s all about giving money. Giving her money is obviously less than paying the breach of contract penalty, and from an economic point of view, it’s more cost-effective than paying the penalty.” Liu Yuliang told him all his thoughts.
Ye Qing agreed, but she still had different thoughts. After pondering for a long time, Ye Qing said, "If we're just talking about money, giving Xu Ying money to shut her up and make her back out voluntarily is indeed less than paying a penalty. But you may not understand Xu Ying. If it were someone else, they might keep quiet about the reasons for the divorce and not want anyone to know. But for her... in the face of money, she might not care too much about those things. I'm afraid that if we give her some money to get rid of her, she will still talk. At that time, we will be in a passive position."
Liu Yuliang may have realized this point before, just as Ye Qing said, he didn't understand Xu Ying, so after hearing Ye Qing express his concerns, Liu Yuliang also fell silent.
However, Liu Yuliang quickly composed himself and said, "If that's the case, I think we can go to Xu Ying's agency. The people in her agency probably don't know about Xu Ying's past. They signed Xu Ying simply to make money from her. If we negotiate with them, Xu Ying's agency will definitely keep her from talking nonsense. After all, their company needs to survive. They have more than one model, actor, and singer. They need to think about the future. Besides, Xi Quan has been a legendary figure in Nancheng in recent years. The agency isn't stupid enough to offend Xi Quan for the sake of Xu Ying."
That's true. If Ye Qing weren't the manager of Zitai Fashion, she could just confront Xu Ying head-on. But now that she's a manager, she needs to have a broader perspective and think clearly about all the possible consequences of her actions.
Xu Ying's agency and Ye Qing's current stance are similar.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing said, "Doing it the way you're saying seems feasible, but the prerequisite is to know the position of Xu Ying's agency."
Liu Yuliang said, "I'll talk to them, but I don't think they know about Xu Ying's relationship with you. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought up the breach of contract penalty as soon as they heard that we intended to replace Xu Ying. If they knew, they would definitely want to talk to us properly first and see what we think. Because if things go wrong, you and Xi Quan will indeed be the subject of gossip, but it would be fatal for Xu Ying."
Hearing Liu Yuliang say this, Ye Qing laughed and joked, "You know quite a bit about these things at the agency now, huh?"
After Ye Qing said that, Liu Yuliang ran his fingers through his hair, feeling embarrassed, and said, "Well, there's nothing I can do. I have to deal with models. Now many models have signed with agencies, and Xiaoyue signed with an agency before. At that time, I even helped her compare which agency was better and what the contracts were like."
Knowing that Liu Yuliang had deep feelings for Xu Xiaoyue, Ye Qing realized how much effort Liu Yuliang had put in after hearing him say this. Ye Qing said, "I'll have a good talk with Xiaoyue when I have time."
After Ye Qing said that, Liu Yuliang became even more embarrassed: "I can't force feelings. It's my business if I like her, and I won't force her if she doesn't like me."
Ye Qing was speechless. Xu Xiaoyue was truly blessed to have met Liu Yuliang.
It's true that only the person experiencing the feelings truly knows the joys and sorrows. Xu Xiaoyue has never agreed to Liu Yuliang's proposal. Whatever the reason, Xu Xiaoyue must have her own reasons for not agreeing to Liu Yuliang's proposal. Therefore, Ye Qing will not rashly say too much to Liu Yuliang until she understands what Xu Xiaoyue is really thinking.
Having agreed on a strategy, Liu Yuliang left first to go and discuss the matter properly with Xu Ying's agency.
Although Xu Ying and Liang Youjie were the ones who plotted against me and Xi Quan, now that the photos have been exposed and I've essentially broken ties with Liang Youjie, he probably won't care about me anymore. He probably has other plans after the photos have been exposed, so I need to hurry.
It would be best if Liu Yuliang could negotiate with Xu Ying's agency before Liang Youjie pulls his next move.
This way, at least Xu Ying can be kept in check by the company she's signed with, and won't be forced to follow Liang Youjie's lead.
Although Xu Ying's matter was a bit of a headache, Xi Quan had previously told Ye Qing not to worry too much. In addition, Liu Yuliang had gone to talk to someone again, so Ye Qing felt that this matter should be put aside for the time being. She needed to quickly come up with sketches of bags and shoes to match the new season's clothes, otherwise she would be late.
Around noon, Liu Yuliang returned and went straight to find Ye Qing, and Yang Zi came along with him.
Yang Zi is a senior actress, so Ye Qing quickly came over to greet her. He was going to say a few polite words first, but before he could, Liu Yuliang spoke up first: "I talked to Xu Ying's agency. They are pretty much as we guessed before. They don't know much about Xu Ying's past either. They just found out, so they have no objection to our proposal to restrict Xu Ying. Moreover, when I was at their company, I vaguely heard some gossip. Before I could confirm it, I ran into President Yang when I got back to the company. President Yang happens to know about that gossip."
Although Liu Yuliang only gave a general outline and didn't specify what it was about, Ye Qing keenly guessed what it was: "The gossip is related to Xu Ying? And it can turn us from a passive to an active position?"
Liu Yuliang didn't answer Ye Qing; instead, he exchanged a glance with Yang Zi.
Yang Zi later said, "I didn't think much about it at first. I just ran into Yu Liang at the company and we chatted for a bit. He mentioned Xu Ying, and that's when I remembered a piece of gossip I'd recently heard. I can't say whether it can turn our company's situation from passive to active, but I don't think it's a bad thing for us."
