After Liu Yuliang and the others left, Ye Qing lowered her head and started working, so she didn't notice their questions.
Liu Yuliang and the others turned to look at Ye Qing, and seeing that Ye Qing wasn't paying attention, they asked directly, "Who are you looking for?"
"Find Ye Qing!"
Ye Qing, who was looking down, heard a loud and angry voice at the office door. Her pen paused for a moment. She felt that she had heard the voice before, but she couldn't remember whose voice it was.
So she put down her pen, looked up at the office door, and saw the person who had walked in. Ye Qing put down her pen, stood up and walked out from behind her desk, saying to Liu Yuliang and her colleagues from the advertising department who were still standing at the office door, "You guys go ahead and do your work. Just do what we just discussed."
After the two left, Ye Qing poured a glass of water for Xi Quan's grandfather, who was already sitting on the sofa, and then asked, "Did you come here specifically to see me today?"
"Of course I have something to say. Why would I come to you if I didn't?"
Hearing the other person's tone, Ye Qing expressionlessly gestured for them to speak.
"Tell Xi Quan not to always pick on Liang Youjie. He should be forgiving." The other party's tone was very matter-of-fact, even commanding, as he ordered Ye Qing and Xi Quan.
Ye Qing didn't have a good impression of Xi Quan's maternal grandfather to begin with, but because the other party was an elder, Ye Qing just let it go in one ear and out the other.
But now… Ye Qing sneered and said, “Why don’t you go talk to Liang Youjie and tell him to stop always picking on Xi Quan? Why should Xi Quan have to endure everything? Xi Quan almost died back then, he couldn’t see, and he couldn’t stand up. Why? I wasn’t in Nancheng then, but you were, right? You must know, right? If you knew, what gives you the right to demand that Xi Quan endure everything now! What has Xi Quan done now? This is nothing! You’re already standing up for Liang Youjie, but did you stand up for Xi Quan back then? If not, you have no right to demand anything of Xi Quan now. You don’t even have the right to demand anything of Xi Quan, so how can you demand anything of me? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
The old man started glaring and bristling again after hearing Ye Qing's words.
Others might be scared by his appearance, but Ye Qing didn't care and wasn't frightened at all by his looks.
On the contrary, the other party became even angrier when he saw that Ye Qing was unmoved, not afraid at all, and did not intend to change his mind: "Do you think I wanted to come to find you? If Xi Quan hadn't disobeyed me, I wouldn't have come to find you."
Ye Qing chuckled: "If he doesn't listen to you, then I have even less reason to listen to you, right? Besides, you have such great malice towards me. I'm not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. I always retaliate in kind or hold a grudge."
"You..." The old man was even angrier after being choked by Ye Qing's words, but he couldn't find any words to refute Ye Qing. Finally, he said in an arrogant tone, "How rude! Didn't your parents teach you anything about respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"
“My mother passed away early, and I don’t have a father. I think since you’ve come to see me, you should at least know me. How can you say such things about me?” Ye Qing not only silenced the old man again, but also mocked him.
The old man's purpose in coming to see Ye Qing hadn't been achieved, and he was already suffering setbacks. This was too embarrassing for the old man, but the matter still needed a solution. So, the old man reluctantly said again, "Aren't you always dissatisfied with that Jiang Xinya? Didn't you say last time that you would have her publish an apology statement to you in their magazine? But their magazine is a monthly publication, so we'll have to wait. If you can restrain Xi Quan, I'll have her publish an apology statement in the newspaper."
Ye Qing was a little surprised and looked at the old man scrutinizingly. Was the old man protecting Liang Youjie to this extent?
He and Jiang Xinya were not related. He had tried to matchmake Jiang Xinya and Xi Quan before, even if it was out of good intentions and without knowing the details, but it always ended up being a misunderstanding. Under these circumstances, instead of apologizing to Jiang Xinya, it was a bit much to keep forcing her to do this.
Of course, Ye Qing didn't sympathize with Jiang Xinya. She was just curious about the old man's attitude. After all, from the short time Ye Qing had spent interacting with the old man, she could tell that he wasn't the kind of person who was very affectionate towards the younger generation.
Despite his lack of warmth, he seemed to be so protective of Liang Youjie, which made Ye Qing even more curious about Liang Youjie.
The old man was a shrewd man, usually able to accurately discern what others were thinking. However, due to his anxiety and slight disdain for Ye Qing, he failed to see what Ye Qing was thinking. He assumed that Ye Qing's pensive expression stemmed from dissatisfaction with the conditions Ye Qing had proposed.
So the old man added, "If you agree, I'll arrange it right away. You'll see Jiang Xinya's apology statement in the newspaper tomorrow or the day after."
Ye Qing chuckled lightly: "I'm particularly curious now, why are you so protective of Liang Youjie? It's said that Liang Youjie also taught your maternal grandfather, right? They're both grandsons, so why do you always ask Xi Quan for help instead of Liang Youjie? Putting aside whether I can restrain Xi Quan, I'm just asking you, isn't the evidence against Liang Youjie conclusive now, and what can Xi Quan do about it?"
“I don’t favor either of them. If they fight, even if they’re bloodied and battered, I won’t say anything. But now things have blown up, and Liang Youjie has almost no way out. He’s become someone who has nothing to lose. If he really goes head-to-head with Xi Quan, no one can say for sure whether such a large company can remain stable. I can’t just stand by and watch the wealth left to me by my ancestors be lost because of infighting.”
“Even if he loses, he deserves it. I know Xi Quan’s personality. If no one provokes him, he would never go to such lengths.” Ye Qing did not back down at all: “So it’s no use you coming to me.”
The old man never expected Ye Qing to be so difficult to talk to. He felt that he had already lowered his stance so much, but Ye Qing still wouldn't agree. Since that was the case, he started to threaten: "Although everything in the company is now decided by Xi Quan, it's not like no one listens to me. If you help, everything is fine, and everything belongs to Xi Quan. But if you insist on refusing to listen to reason, then I won't be polite."
“Grandpa, Xi Quan and I are husband and wife, so I’ll call you that. Whether you agree or not is up to you. I can’t be rude, don’t you think? After all, you just said I was too rude.” Ye Qing said with a smile, then changed the subject: “It seems you still don’t understand me. You can go ask your daughter Quan Zhen how I treat Ye Shuwei. It’s not too late to threaten me then.”
