In the past, Li Yeming might not have listened to Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue, but things are different now.
Previously, Li Yeming had already signed a contract with Ye Qing. Li Yeming's own brand "Jin" is now a sub-brand under Zitai Fashion. In other words, Li Yeming is now working for Ye Qing. If she can't solve something, she will naturally go to Ye Qing for help.
Li Yeming told Ye Qing about the situation on the set, and Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue also told Ye Qing.
After hearing this, Ye Qing was somewhat tempted.
Seeing how much the production team invested in costumes, props, and sets, Ye Qing felt that regardless of whether the show became a hit or not, at least people in the industry would recognize Ye Qing, Zitai Fashion, or Qingye Studio from the costumes.
After merging with Zitai Fashion, Qingye Studio's current business scope is exactly what Ye Qing envisioned when she first established the Qingye brand: pursuing a high-end custom-made route.
However, in the southern part of the city, besides the wealthy, the main group that can afford to wear haute couture is celebrities. In recent years, red carpet events and fashion activities have been frequently held in the southern part of the city.
The demand for haute couture among celebrities is on the rise, especially since some of the world's top luxury brands do not yet have flagship stores in Nancheng. This presents an opportunity for Qingye Studio to carve out a niche for itself.
As the saying goes, even the best wine needs advertising. To make people aware of Qingye Studio, advertising among specific groups is a crucial task.
Therefore, Ye Qing felt that designing costumes for the film crew was an opportunity she had to seize. She agreed without hesitation and instructed Liu Yuliang to negotiate and sign a contract with the crew before heading over herself.
In the past, Ye Qing would have just bought a ticket and left, but now that she has a family, she has to tell Xi Quan before she leaves.
Because Xi Quan was extremely busy, Ye Qing had already put the two children to sleep and waited a long time before he returned.
When Xi Quan returned, he saw Ye Qing still waiting for him in the living room. He was touched and felt guilty. He was about to apologize and explain to Ye Qing that things would be alright after this period of time.
But before he could even speak, Ye Qing mentioned going to the film crew to work on set.
After hearing the news, Xi Quan was stunned. He didn't know if it was because he had drunk too much alcohol while socializing outside. Of course, he wasn't drunk, but the alcohol made him somewhat unable to think calmly. When he heard Ye Qing say that he had to go on a business trip, he felt disappointed and lost.
It turns out I was overthinking things. Ye Qing waited for me so late just to tell me about her decision, not because she was worried about anything.
Some things are really best not to think about. Once you start thinking about them, negative emotions begin to arise. He wondered if it was because of the alcohol, but Xi Quan was feeling very negative. He asked, "Can't we not go?"
"Why not go?" Ye Qing thought Xi Quan wouldn't stop her, but from his words, it seemed he didn't want her to go.
“I’m busy, and you can take good care of the kids and the house at home. Besides, you’re not the only designer in your company. Once the contract is signed, any designer can handle it. Why do you insist on doing it yourself? You’re the boss now, and just paying salaries every month is a considerable sum. With so much money spent, they can’t just not do their job, can they?” Xi Quan burped and spoke eloquently.
This statement isn't wrong; upon closer examination, it actually makes a lot of sense.
However, if the time and place were different, and Xi Quan wasn't in a drunken state, Ye Qing might seriously consider what Xi Quan said.
However, human emotions are sometimes so unpredictable. Just like Xi Quan wouldn't say that if he were sober. Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan now, who was clearly doing everything himself and had only just returned from being busy. She hadn't said anything, yet he was stopping her from going to work.
Actually, if you think about it calmly, Xi Quan wasn't trying to stop Ye Qing from working; he just didn't want Ye Qing to be so tired. But now, his words sound like he was trying to stop her.
This led Ye Qing to feel that Xi Quan was being hypocritical, and Ye Qing got a little angry. She asked Xi Quan expressionlessly, "So in your opinion, I shouldn't go on business trips, and I should stay home to cook and take care of the children, right?"
It's not that Ye Qing is against cooking with the kids, but the current situation is like someone telling you that you should stay home and cook with the kids, which would make anyone unhappy.
Xi Quan's mind was a bit muddled at the moment. When he heard Ye Qing's questioning tone, he replied without much thought, "I didn't say you had to stay home to take care of the kids and cook, but now that you're not short of money, there's no need to work so hard. So what's wrong with staying home to look after the kids and cook?"
Ye Qing is no longer short of money, and her sense of security is not as lacking as it used to be.
But she is no longer the Ye Qing who just came from Xiaoyao Village. She is an independent woman with higher education, self-reliant and with her own career. She will not give up her career just because she is not short of money.
Therefore, Xi Quan's words still touched a nerve with Ye Qing.
Ye Qing stared at Xi Quan for a while, then gave up trying to communicate with him. "I've already told you, I have a ticket for tomorrow morning. After dropping the kids off at school, I'll leave right away."
After saying that, Ye Qing went upstairs.
Xi Quan, who was pinching his brow, paused for a moment after hearing Ye Qing's words, and then went upstairs as well.
Although they returned to their rooms one after the other, they didn't speak to each other again. When Xi Quan woke up the next morning, Ye Qing was no longer there.
Because he had been drinking the day before, Xi Quan's head was still a little dizzy. He staggered to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. After washing his face with cold water and becoming a little more awake, he slowly remembered what Ye Qing had said to him when he came back last night.
Xi Quan was wiping his face with a towel when, remembering what he had said to Ye Qing the night before, he threw the towel into the sink.
Now that he was completely sober, Xi Quan realized that what he had said yesterday had caused some misunderstanding. Putting himself in Ye Qing's shoes, he felt that he would probably be angry if he heard Ye Qing say that.
So I thought I'd explain it to Ye Qing.
However, after Xi Quan finished packing and went downstairs, he couldn't find Ye Qing. He glanced at the time and thought that Ye Qing might have gone to work. So he decided that he wasn't in a hurry to go to work and would go find Ye Qing first to explain.
When they got to the door, they saw a sticky note that Ye Qing had stuck on the back of the door. It read: "I'm going on a business trip. I don't know when I'll be back. My grandparents will be taking care of the kids for now. Business trips may become the norm for me in the future. If you can't accept a wife who travels a lot, I think we should seriously reconsider our relationship."
Xi Quan originally intended to go and explain to Ye Qing, but who knew that Ye Qing would leave him such a note? Xi Quan was so angry that he tore off the note and threw it away. After taking a few steps, he looked back at the door and sneered inwardly. Should he praise his wife? She was afraid that he would not see the note she wrote, so she actually stuck it on the door. She really went to great lengths.
