Ye Qing had already finished her work and was getting ready to leave as it got dark outside, but before she could leave, she learned about the news about her.
After hearing what the people in the advertising department had to say, Ye Qing wasn't too surprised, because she had already started to worry about it.
But it made the news again, which is always frustrating.
Ye Qing just wanted to quietly earn money with her skills and didn't want any unnecessary trouble, but now it seems that things are really not going to go smoothly.
Now that the matter has come to him, Ye Qing has no choice but to face it.
After listening to what the advertising department had to say, Ye Qing pondered for a long time before asking, "Does Xu Ying have any response?"
"She's barely surviving right now, what can she say? After we terminated the photo shoot contract with Xu Ying, her agency has given up on her. After all, Xu Ying isn't formally trained, so whether she becomes an actress or continues as a model, there are significant limitations. Her only advantage is probably her looks, but now that coal mine owner's wife is relentless, and they generally won't hire Xu Ying for work anymore. It's good enough that her agency isn't asking Xu Ying for breach of contract fees; she doesn't have time to respond to what others say about her."
Ye Qing agreed with what the advertising department said.
Ye Shuang had already spoken up for Xu Ying in front of reporters, saying that he had treated his relatives coldly, so why wouldn't Xu Ying seize the opportunity?
Ye Qing had some doubts.
"Our new model is about to be launched. At this crucial moment, Mr. Ye, what do you think..." The advertising department looked at Ye Qing with some difficulty. The advertising for the new model had already been negotiated and it would soon be available on television and in newspapers. It was not good for such news to come out now.
Ye Qing understood the anxiety of the advertising department, but she had only just found out herself and needed to think it over. She said, "Let me check the news first and see what Ye Shuang actually said before I say anything."
Although the people in the advertising department were anxious, Ye Qing was cautious and left first.
After her colleagues left, Ye Qing came out of the office and took all the newspapers for the day from the secretary's desk—the morning paper, the daily paper, and the evening paper.
Actually, all these newspapers were subscribed to by the logistics and general affairs department of Zitai Fashion for Ye Qing, but Ye Qing usually kept the professional magazines and newspapers about design, and left the rest with his secretary, so he didn't read them much.
Ye Qing then took a look at the entertainment section of the newspaper.
The news reported that Ye Shuang attended an event the day before yesterday and was asked about her fellow model Xu Ying, which is a topic of much discussion recently.
When asked this question, most people give official answers that conform to public morality, making it difficult to find fault with the answer or feel that it's just a perfunctory response.
Only Ye Shuang took the initiative to reveal her relationship with Ye Qing and Xu Ying.
Upon hearing this, the reporter was shocked. Ye Shuang and Ye Qing were actually cousins, and Xu Ying and Ye Qing were actually first cousins!
"You must know something exclusive," the reporters quickly surrounded Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang wanted this effect. Because she couldn't afford to offend Xi Quan, she didn't mention the relationship between Xi Quan and Xu Ying. At this time, entertainment news was just starting to emerge, and everyone was very curious. Generally, people wouldn't delve into anything themselves and would rely more on hearsay. Now that someone had brought it up, reporters certainly wouldn't let such news go, so they wouldn't ask the other party about what they hadn't said.
After all, what Ye Shuang said was definitely sensational news.
Although the details were vague, news about Ye Qing being unfilial and treating relatives badly spread like wildfire.
Everyone here is a gossip, always wanting to stand on moral high ground and criticize others, never considering what Ye Qing has been through.
In the eyes of onlookers, no matter how badly your parents or relatives behave, you can't be unfilial and ignore them.
So even though the news only appeared in the newspaper today, the wording gave the impression that Ye Qing should be drowned in a pig cage.
It would be a lie to say that Ye Qing felt no sadness upon seeing news about herself.
However, Ye Qing had already experienced being forced to marry a fool, so she wasn't afraid of anything else outrageous.
Ye Qing's main concern now is the impact of this news on Zitai Fashion and her work.
Looking at the time on the news, Ye Shuang had been interviewed a few days ago, but it was published today. She should have known about it, otherwise Ye Shuang wouldn't have acted so provocatively when she saw Ye Shuang in the room where Grandpa Ye was staying today.
Last time, when people said that Qingye and Zitai fashion were copying each other, Ye Qing personally held a press conference to clarify. Of course, she can do it again this time, but if she talks about it too much, maybe not as many people will believe her anymore, and it won't have the same effect as the first time.
Ye Qing was thinking about how to handle this situation better.
Before she could even think about it, the office phone rang. Hearing the ringtone, Ye Qing subconsciously glanced at the time; it was getting late. Thinking it was Xi Quan, she answered the phone and said directly, "I'll be right back."
After she finished speaking, there was no sound from the other end of the phone. Ye Qing, whose attention was still on the newspaper, paused for a moment, looked up from the newspaper, and asked into the phone receiver, "Xi Quan?"
Finally, there was some movement on the other end of the phone. Although no one spoke, Ye Qing seemed to hear someone let out a long sigh.
Upon realizing it wasn't Xi Quan, Ye Qing instantly lost his previous nonchalance and narrowed his eyes: "Hello, may I ask who this is?"
"Liang Youjie, I was planning to invite you to dinner."
Knowing who the other party was and what the purpose of the call was, Ye Qing became even more wary than before. She said, "I thought I had made my attitude very clear."
This is tantamount to a disguised rejection of Liang Youjie.
Liang Youjie naturally understood, but since he had made the call, he was prepared. So, after hearing Ye Qing's words, Liang Youjie calmly replied, "Did you see today's news? The entertainment section?"
Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat. He had been so careless. This Liang Youjie was really persistent; he had even contacted Ye Shuang.
Taking a deep breath and calming his anger, Ye Qing asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
“I was planning to have dinner with you, but judging from the tone of your voice when you answered the phone, you must be going home. Well, I won’t be a annoying person. It’s just a few words, and it won’t keep you from having dinner.” Liang Youjie acted very generously, but even so, he was still a little worried that Ye Qing would refuse him. He added, “I’m downstairs at Zitai Fashion Building.”
It's like he's here to ambush Ye Qing. If Ye Qing rejects him, he'll still run into him downstairs when he leaves.
Although angry at Liang Youjie's actions, Ye Qing thought about it and still let Liang Youjie come up to hear what he had to say.
