Ye Qing wasn't afraid of direct confrontations, but there were some things she wasn't good at, like underhanded schemes and plots. Moreover, Yang Zi seemed particularly adept at doing things secretly behind the scenes.
From the moment Ye Qing resigned, Yang Zi's sarcastic remarks to him gave Ye Qing a full understanding of Yang Zi's personality.
She's the kind of person who's a scoundrel, someone who schemes and plots behind people's backs.
That's why Ye Qing didn't want to have a direct confrontation with Yang Zi, so that she would know that she understood Yang Zi's thoughts.
When Li Yeming heard Ye Qing say this, he said instead, "Indeed, she wants to concentrate her firepower on the two of us. That way, at least we'll know what she's up to. Otherwise, if she deals with us one by one, we'll be exhausted. Now, the two of us are dealing with her one by one, isn't that better?"
That's true. Although Ye Qing is young, she's not brainless. She can't possibly open her heart to Li Yeming just because he seems sincere.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "Sister Li, if I remember correctly, the last time you came to me, you were thinking about terminating your contract with Zitai Fashion. It hasn't been that long, but your attitude has changed completely."
This makes one suspicious.
Li Yeming probably guessed that Ye Qing would say this, and she was still very frank: "At that time, I did want to terminate the contract. I signed with Zitai Fashion and made Jin a sub-brand under it, but I did it because of you."
Because you were the general manager at that time, and since you resigned, I must have had concerns. I contacted you, but you rejected me. And you said so much. If I had just listened and let it go, I would have wasted my life.
I definitely need to think about it carefully. After calmly considering what you said, I've accepted the fact that Jin still wants to run the Zitai fashion sub-brand. Since that's the case, I need to find a way to turn the tables and take the initiative. As you said, people can have dreams, but they also need the necessary resources to support those dreams, such as money.
Ye Qing stared at Li Yeming for a long time.
In judging whether what she said was true or false, Ye Qing actually believed it to be more than 80% true.
If Li Yeming's claim about the feud between him and Yang Zi is true, it means that Yang Zi is a very ambitious person. How could someone so ambitious allow Li Yeming, who was once on the verge of dying in the industry, to surpass her? She would definitely want to suppress the Jin brand.
However, Ye Qing didn't really know Li Yeming very well. Her knowledge of him was only because she had worked briefly at his shop years ago.
After carefully considering Li Yeming's words, Ye Qing asked again, "It was Yang Zi who approached me, hoping I could help you and your brand Jin out of its predicament. Why did she do that?"
"Because she knew we knew each other and wanted to test your attitude. Otherwise, why do you think I was so eager to cooperate with Xi Yue later?"
I've known Xi Yue longer than you have, so how could I not know what Xi Yue is like? Xi Yue can only help me so much, but I was so eager to sign with Xi Yue because I didn't want Yang Zi to get involved with you. At that time, I thought it was all just because of the old things between me and Yang Zi.
Later, you contacted me again and said a lot. The reason I agreed was because I realized at that time that regardless of whether I refused or not, Yang Zi believed that our relationship was good. However, you didn't know about our history, and I couldn't let Yang Zi scheme against me when you were so sincerely trying to help me.
Ye Qing understood. Li Yeming meant that because she had approached Li Yeming again to ask for a collaboration, Yang Zi would assume that she was grateful to Li Yeming, regardless of Li Yeming's choice. Therefore, no matter whether they collaborated in the future, Yang Zi would definitely make things difficult for her.
Having learned the whole story and the cause and effect, Ye Qing believed Li Yeming's words, but whether or not to cooperate with her to deal with Yang Zi as Li Yeming suggested...
After a long silence, Ye Qing said, "Sister Li, I need to think about this matter carefully."
Li Yeming nodded: "I understand. This is a big matter, so of course we need to think about it carefully."
After saying that, Li Yeming stood up and took out a piece of clothing from a tightly locked cabinet with both hands. "Look, this is the piece of clothing I was talking about."
After listening to Li Yeming's explanation, Ye Qing felt that everything Li Yeming said was just a pretext to reveal her true intentions through this garment, so Ye Qing didn't expect to see the garment.
Now that the clothes Li Yeming had mentioned were in front of him, Ye Qing felt like a country bumpkin, and all he could say was "wow" and "ah."
Suzhou embroidery, with lifelike peonies blooming on the front of the garment, makes every stitch seem to have a life of its own.
The dress isn't as long as a traditional cheongsam; it falls above the knee and is somewhat like the currently popular babydoll style.
However, it doesn't have the same loose hem as a babydoll dress.
A row of elegant knots runs from the hem of the skirt all the way to the neckline.
It is said that fashion is cyclical, and this clothing perfectly illustrates what fashion is, as it is a wonderful combination of tradition and trend.
This outfit would be perfectly fine to wear in everyday life nowadays.
Of course, if it were worn as everyday clothing, the embroidery wouldn't be as exquisite and elaborate as it is now. If it were that exquisite and elaborate, the price would go up, and for Jin, which doesn't target the high-end market, high prices would be a bottleneck limiting its development.
After admiring it, Ye Qing said, "This can definitely be worn as an everyday garment. With a little modification, you don't need such a large area of hand embroidery. Machine embroidery or no embroidery at all would be fine. This style of brocade can definitely be a main style for spring and autumn."
Li Yeming nodded: "I think the same way as you. That's why I wanted to find out about this. Otherwise, what if Yang Zi says I plagiarized or borrowed something if I design a similar style?"
At this point, Ye Qing understood that if everyone knew about the dress and that it belonged to Li Yeming, then Yang Zi's attempt to use it to attack Li Yeming after the new model was released would be untenable.
As I said before, Ye Qing needs to think about it.
However, upon seeing this garment and recalling Li Yeming's earlier plan, Ye Qing suddenly realized the clear positioning of the Jin brand.
Li Yeming was a little confused by Ye Qing's explanation of the positioning. "I don't really understand. To be honest, I don't understand what you mean by that word at all."
Ye Qing patiently explained to Li Yeming what she meant and the significance of positioning the Jin brand in this way.
