After listening to Ye Qing's explanation, Xi Quan understood why Ye Qing was angry.
But even though he knew why Ye Qing was angry, he didn't seem to reflect on his actions much. He said, "You're fine. Under your leadership, Taizi Fashion has already turned a profit..."
Before Xi Quan could finish speaking, Ye Qing interrupted him with a cold laugh.
Xi Quan's words seemed to be an affirmation of Ye Qing, but when faced with problems, affirming Ye Qing felt more like an order that you had to take responsibility.
Although Xi Quan didn't mean it that way, he was genuinely praising and affirming Ye Qing's abilities.
However, this is not a good time to say these things, and while it is true that a person has ability, they do not want to hear others praising them in times of crisis.
Although Ye Qing is far from facing any real crisis, like most people, he doesn't want to hear praise at this time.
After her cold laugh, she seemed calm and collected: "Zita Fashion has indeed turned a profit now. I don't want to go into the difficulties involved. You're in business too, so you should know how tough it is. As you said, if Xi Yue doesn't say anything and just lets things continue like this, it will definitely affect Zitai Fashion. After all, although Jin is very popular now, the brand's audience is ultimately limited. In the end, Zitai Fashion will have to be responsible for the profits and losses of Jin."
After all that buildup, as if he was thinking about what to say next, Ye Qing paused and then said, "Strictly speaking, you are the boss of Zitai Fashion, and I am working for you. Since you feel that there is no need to do anything now, then let's leave it at that."
Actually, when Ye Qing spoke, Xi Quan had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he wasn't quite sure what Ye Qing meant. Hearing this, Xi Quan's unease was amplified once again, and he couldn't help but say, "Ye Qing..."
Ye Qing glanced at Xi Quan and became even calmer: "I'm working for you, but the boss isn't satisfied with my work, so I have no choice but to resign. You should hurry up and find another general manager for Zitai Fashion. If you can't find one in a short time, Liu Yuliang will also be fine."
"You..." Xi Quan panicked. He could tell that Ye Qing was really angry, just like when she broke up with him back then.
Although Ye Qing only said that she would no longer serve as the general manager of Zitai Fashion, and it was not a divorce, Xi Quan was even more flustered than if he had heard about a divorce.
As long as Xi Quan doesn't agree to the divorce, he can drag it out. Ye Qing will always be his wife. Although it's not nice to cling to him, as long as they don't separate, anything is fine.
However, if Ye Qing is determined to leave Zitai Fashion, then Xi Quan cannot keep pestering her like this.
Moreover, even before Ye Qing reconciled with Xi Quan, knowing that Xi Quan had become the owner of Zitai Fashion, she still used some schemes to become the general manager of Zitai Fashion, which shows that Ye Qing values her career very much.
This is also why Xi Quan was able to subtly and nonchalantly lure Ye Qing into his elaborate trap when Ye Qing returned from Nancheng.
Xi Quan initially acquired Zitai Fashion for Ye Qing's sake, but now that Ye Qing doesn't want it anymore, how can Xi Quan not panic?
Xi Quan was silent for a while before saying, "You've been so busy since you came back, you must be tired. Take a rest first."
"It's definitely tiring, but it's also a bit difficult to take a break. With the new season starting and new styles about to be released, I've been focusing all my energy on Qingye Studio since I stepped down from being in charge of Taizi Fashion," Ye Qing said.
When Xi Quan, who was in a panic, heard Ye Qing mention Qingye Studio, he thought that it was also part of Zitai Fashion, and he was a little less panicked than before. He said, "Anyway, it's all Zitai Fashion. You don't need to give up being the general manager. You can hand over the Zitai Fashion business to Liu Yuliang and focus on Qingye."
Ye Qing reminded Xi Quan: "Qingye Studio claims to be a sub-brand of Zitai Fashion, but it is self-sufficient. The reason we told everyone that Qingye Studio was cooperating with Zitai Fashion was because, apart from the Liu Wei incident, everyone thought that Qingye Studio had borrowed other people's designs. It was a public relations strategy under duress. In fact, Qingye Studio and Zitai Fashion did not sign any legal documents. The reason we didn't sign one before was because I am the legal representative of Qingye Studio and I am also the general manager of Zitai Fashion. Signing such a contract would have a hint of using public office for private gain, and we were afraid that the old people of Zitai Fashion would object. So we put it aside for the time being. Now it seems to be a good thing."
Xi Quan thought about it carefully and realized that he had not signed any contract or anything like that with Qingye Studio, because as the boss, he would need to sign such a contract.
After listening to Ye Qing's long and eloquent explanation, Xi Quan summarized it in one sentence: "So you mean not only to part ways with Zitai Fashion, but also to let Zitai Fashion fend for itself, right?"
Ye Qing did mean that, but she was angry and seemed even angrier after hearing Xi Quan's summary. She couldn't help but retort, "According to you, if we do nothing, we'll just watch Zitai Fashion fend for itself, right? Don't say that Xi Yue has nothing to do with Zitai Fashion. She has something to do with Jin. Jin is a sub-brand of Zitai Fashion. It's written in black and white. In the end, Zitai Fashion will be the one to suffer all of this."
Xi Quan has never been a very good-tempered person. When he was dating Ye Qing, the two often had disagreements and arguments.
So when he heard Ye Qing say that, he got a little carried away and blurted out, "I didn't say I wouldn't do anything, I just meant I shouldn't let Xi Yue say anything."
Ye Qing understood Xi Quan's meaning and nodded: "If Xi Yue won't say, then who will? Isn't it still Zi Shi Fashion who has to say it? What can they say? Deny that Xi Yue's illness is fake? Obviously, that's not feasible, right? So what can we do?"
Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing's words were true, but some things are easier said than done: "It's precisely because Xi Yue is really sick that we have to be careful about admitting her illness in front of the public, otherwise what if she gets triggered and has another attack?"
Compared to Xi Quan's current panicked and anxious attitude, Ye Qing was remarkably calm: "Back then, Xi Yue was so upset that she fell ill. Your grandparents both thought I was the biggest threat to Xi Yue, so they absolutely refused to let us be together..."
Xi Quan was already in a panic, and hearing Ye Qing's words only made things worse. He was even more agitated and seemed to get even angrier: "Ye Qing, you're talking about Xi Yue. What are you saying? Don't even think about divorce! Give up on that idea as soon as possible."
