When Li Yeming heard Ye Qing say this, he quickly expressed his attitude: "Ye Qing, don't worry, I have no intention of giving that dress back to Yang Zi. I spent a lot of money to buy it back in the first place."
Ye Qing said, "Sister Li, you might think I'm being a bit too serious, but I have to do this. Just think of it as me being insecure. I hope we can cooperate well and make money together. I really don't want any more of these messy things to happen."
Li Yeming could actually understand Ye Qing, and she wasn't angry. She was anxious earlier because she didn't know what Ye Qing meant, but now that she knew, that was good.
When Ye Qing first arrived in Nancheng, she worked at Li Yeming's shop. Li Yeming knew about Ye Qing's family situation and understood where Ye Qing's insecurity came from.
Moreover, he had used her family as an excuse to stop her from working in his shop, so Li Yeming could completely understand Ye Qing's attitude now.
Although Ye Qing said that the dress belonged to Li Yeming and that she could handle it herself, Ye Qing thought for a moment and still couldn't help but say, "Sister Li, although the dress is yours, if something really happens, judging from the contract that Jin brand signed with Zitai Fashion, we can still find some loopholes. If we go to court, it will slowly erode the trust that Jin has worked so hard to build up."
Li Yeming, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, was stunned again upon hearing Ye Qing's words, somewhat disbelieving: "You mean?"
Looking at Li Yeming, Ye Qing realized that she really didn't understand what she meant, and she didn't know whether to say that it was a good thing or a bad thing that she had lived to such an old age and was still so naive.
Although it was a bit cruel, Ye Qing repeated what she had just said to Li Yeming: "What I mean is that this kind of thing is like two people arguing. If one of them is determined to argue, they can always find an excuse and a reason to argue."
The same applies to lawsuits. These contracts are usually several pages long. If you really want to find fault, it's not easy, but you can always find some points of disagreement between the two parties.
While the brand Jin is now somewhat well-known, it still lags behind Zitai Fashion. Even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; Zitai Fashion will have more resources to sustain the competition in the long run.
After hearing Ye Qing's words, Li Yeming remained silent for a long time, carefully considering what Ye Qing had said, before finally speaking his own thoughts.
Besides talking about Ye Qing working in her shop, she also talked about some of her personality traits. She said to Ye Qing, "Ye Qing, I think I understand why you said those things in such an unacceptable way."
But I understand that you're afraid I'll soften my stance in front of Yang Zi, and then you'll be at a disadvantage. To be honest, I've done this more than once before.
But having lived this long and been the snake in the farmer and the snake story so many times, if I still don't learn my lesson, then I've truly wasted my life. So I understand what you mean, but I'll also tell you this: I won't do anything with Yang Zi again.
Although Li Yeming said that, Ye Qing felt that she should trust her, after all, there is a saying that one should trust those one employs and not employ those one one distrusts.
Besides, I've already made my point clear beforehand, so there's no need to make things awkward for everyone.
So Ye Qing explained to Li Yeming the purpose of her visit that day.
Li Yeming naturally wouldn't refuse what Ye Qing said. She said, "Once you've finished it, bring it over and I'll embroider it for you. But you have to tell me in advance what you want to embroider so I can prepare the embroidery pattern first."
Upon hearing Li Yeming's words, Ye Qing remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing Ye Qing's silence, Li Yeming asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ye Qing had never been exposed to traditional embroidery before, so there were some things she didn't understand. Now that Li Yeming had asked, Ye Qing didn't hide her thoughts. She asked Li Yeming, "Sister Li, machine embroidery usually allows you to do it along the seam, but only leave half of it, or keep the entire embroidery pattern intact but still go through the seam. If you're doing it by hand, can you do it like that?"
Fearing that Li Yeming might not understand what he meant, he picked up a pen and drew a simple sketch for Li Yeming, explaining it to him.
Li Yeming herself works in the clothing industry, so she understood the problem Ye Qing raised. She said, "It's possible, but the result might not be good. However, you just told me about your design, and I think I understand where you want to put the embroidery. This new evening gown you designed is strapless, and you want the embroidery to stop abruptly at the neckline, right?"
“Yes, that’s exactly what I meant,” Ye Qing said.
“If that’s the case, once you’ve almost finished it, I can embroider half of it as you said, and then you can work on the collar.”
If I finish embroidering everything as you suggested, and then add the collar and such, the collar won't be even. Also, your collar is a straight line, and quite low. If you embroider, there will be lines on the back, and if you fold or cut them, it won't be even, affecting the overall appearance.
Although there's no actual product yet, and it's just the two of them discussing it, they're both designers and clothing makers, so Ye Qing understands what Li Yeming means, and it makes sense when she thinks about it.
So she did as Li Yeming suggested. Since Li Yeming had no problem with it, it was up to her to design the clothes first, instead of just staying at the stage of theoretical discussion.
After confirming that there were no problems with Li Yeming's side, Ye Qing left first.
Ye Qing's studio is located in the bustling commercial district of Nancheng, on a pedestrian street with high foot traffic, so after parking her car, Ye Qing walked straight back to the shop.
As they approached the store, Ye Qing saw Ye Shuang walking arm in arm with a man in the distance. Ye Qing paused for a moment, wondering if that was Yang Zi's son.
Although they didn't care about these things, people are bound to be curious and gossipy once they see something. However, in the moment when Ye Qing was being curious and gossipy, Ye Shuang also saw Ye Qing. She paused for a moment and winked at Ye Qing.
Seeing Ye Shuang wink at her, Ye Qing felt goosebumps all over. She subconsciously shrugged her shoulders and then quickly went to her shop.
Ye Qing didn't think about it anymore after that, but who knew that after a long time, Ye Shuang would come to the store to find Ye Qing.
"Aren't you going to ask me who that guy was?" Ye Shuang asked, noticing Ye Qing's increasingly impatient expression.
Ye Qing chuckled lightly: "Whoever it is, it has nothing to do with me."
