Ye Qing stared at Ye Shuang for a moment and said, "Which method do you think would make Yang Zi think about paying back the money as soon as possible?"
"The people Yang Zi borrowed money from weren't ordinary people, but what happened? Yang Zi wasn't in a hurry to pay them back. She even borrowed the money through deception. Now you ask me if she'll pay them back quickly? Isn't that ridiculous? She's acting like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water."
Ye Shuang scoffed at Ye Qing's words.
Ye Qing laughed: "A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water? If he really wasn't afraid of boiling water, he wouldn't have thought of giving you the company and making you take responsibility in the first place. Of course she's afraid. No matter what happened with Zitai Fashion before, she herself wasn't short of money. Not to mention living a life of luxury, at least she lived a decent life. If she really can't pay back the money this time and something happens, her life won't be so easy in the future. There's a saying that goes, 'It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.'"
Ye Shuang agreed with Ye Qing's words, but she didn't quite understand what she meant. After a long silence, Ye Shuang asked Ye Qing, "Just say what you're thinking. I can't guess what you mean."
"Simple. Just have your friend's father sue Yang Zi for not paying her debts," Ye Qing said casually.
However, Ye Shuang was greatly disappointed after hearing Ye Qing's words!
"Ye Qing, did I hear that right? Your so-called solution is to sue Yang Zi in court?" Ye Shuang couldn't help but question Ye Qing's idea: "Do I need to tell you again what kind of people Yang Zi borrowed money from? It is true that debts should be repaid, but those people Yang Zi borrowed money from are not clean themselves. How dare they sue in court? Are you kidding me?"
Ye Shuang had thought Ye Qing would come up with some amazing solution, but she didn't expect that the solution was not only that, but also that he seemed a bit slow-witted.
Ye Qing was unfazed by Ye Shuang's mockery. She didn't care much about Ye Shuang's opinion of her; her focus was on solving the problem.
"Ye Shuang, we've known each other for a long time. Do you think I don't know what you're saying?" Ye Qing retorted.
Ye Shuang paused for a moment, then thought about it and realized it made sense. So she said to Ye Qing impatiently, "Just say what you want to say. Don't always make people guess. You know I'm not as smart as you."
That's a bit of a self-deprecating remark.
Ye Qing didn't keep her in suspense any longer. Actually, she hadn't meant to keep her in suspense beforehand; she just wanted to address the questions Ye Shuang might ask in advance so that Ye Shuang would understand when she explained her methods later, without having to explain so much to her.
"I'm talking about suing Yang Zi for fraud and deception," Ye Qing said calmly.
Ye Shuang, who had initially held little hope, paused upon hearing Ye Qing's words, then slowly shifted her gaze to Ye Qing. She opened her mouth as if to ask Ye Qing something, but couldn't think of a way to ask: "You..."
Ye Qing didn't wait for Ye Shuang to ask before repeating her plan: "You heard right, it's fraud. The dress Yang Zi took when she borrowed money was fake. She knew it was fake, but she still passed it off as a genuine one and borrowed such a large sum of money. Isn't that fraud?"
Yang Zi has no way to deny it. If she were to say that the dress she auctioned before was fake, the auction house probably wouldn't let it go. So now, regardless of whether Yang Zi admits it or not, it's a done deal that the dress is fake.
But even though it's a done deal, not many people know that Yang Zi borrowed money using that dress. Now, if you let your friend sue and get a reporter to write a report, then everyone will know.
Yang Zi needs to think about her future. She'll definitely want to pay back the money eventually. She says she doesn't have money, but you have to understand, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse! She might not have that much cash on hand, but she certainly has stocks and houses; selling them would bring in money, wouldn't it?
Ye Shuang listened to Ye Qing's words this time and thought that Ye Qing's method was good and should make it impossible for Yang Zi to make a comeback. However, Ye Shuang also had concerns: "Your method sounds good, but even if Yang Zi sells the house, how much money will she get?"
If after all this effort she still can't pay back the money, then I'll lose face in front of my friend. You should know that he specifically borrowed the money to get Yang Zi to pay it back. After all this fuss, if Yang Zi can't pay it back, they'll be in a passive position too.
"And if we go to court as you suggested, what if people find out that my friend's company is a loan shark operation? That would be troublesome."
Ye Qing understood Ye Shuang's concerns. It was only the year 2000, and houses were indeed valuable real estate. However, the price a house could sell for was definitely not comparable to what it would be 20 years from now. Yang Zi was currently living in a villa in a high-end community, but it was only worth a little over a million yuan. Compared to the money she had borrowed, the house would not be worth much if it were sold.
Ye Qing did not deny what Ye Shuang said, and Ye Qing's original intention was not to expect Yang Zi to sell the house, because whether Yang Zi sold the house or not actually made no difference to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing's main goal was actually to get Yang Zi to sell her shares in Zitai Fashion. So Ye Qing told Ye Shuang to tell her friend to sue Yang Zi, which was also to force Yang Zi to sell her shares in Zitai Fashion.
So, in response to Ye Shuang's concerns, Ye Qing explained, "Just tell your friend the solution I suggested. He should know how to avoid involving things they don't want others to know if they file a lawsuit."
Moreover, when Yang Zi borrowed money, it was through her newly registered company. Since it was a corporate account, there was no problem.
Furthermore, our primary goal is to get Yang Zi to repay the money. The lawsuit is merely a means, not the end. Once Yang Zi repays the money, we can withdraw the lawsuit.
Seeing that Ye Shuang was somewhat tempted after listening to him for so long, Ye Qing pressed on and said what was most appealing to Ye Shuang: "Ye Shuang, the method I'm telling you naturally has its own purpose, but for you, it's a good thing. You can tell your friend, and whether he adopts your suggestion or not is up to him. He may have his own considerations, but for you, he'll feel that even if you're with him for his money, you're not just a pretty face."
In the past, if Ye Qing had said that Ye Shuang was just a pretty face, Ye Shuang would definitely have been angry. But now, Ye Shuang was not only not angry, but also began to seriously consider Ye Qing's words. After a long silence, Ye Shuang asked, "Are you sure your method will work?"
