To Ye Qing, Ye Shuang's words seemed to imply that Ye Shuang was now a working professional and hoped that Ye Qing wouldn't involve too much personal emotion.
Whether this personal feeling refers to Xu Xiaoyue's rejection of her, or to the personal grudges between her and Ye Shuang, Ye Qing honestly didn't know.
Furthermore, it's unclear whether Ye Shuang's long opening remarks were what he actually meant.
Regardless of the reason, Ye Qing didn't care. Now she was curious about what Ye Shuang wanted to say to her: "So what exactly did you want to talk to me about?"
"Your Qingye Studio is about to hold its new season's fashion show, right?" Ye Shuang asked.
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes, thinking about what Xu Xiaoyue had just told him: Ye Shuang was now also a shareholder of their agency.
Moreover, their agency has signed models.
Therefore, Ye Qing felt that he might have guessed Ye Shuang's purpose in coming to find him.
Ye Qing said, "Yes, this is the season for launching new products."
“You’re holding a press conference, so you’ll definitely need models. Our company has quite a few models with good looks. Why don’t you take a look at their profiles?” Ye Shuang said, taking a brown paper file bag out of her bag and handing it to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing said as Ye Qing was about to hand it to her, "You can see my situation. I've started resting at home, so I haven't been involved in the press conference. My colleagues are handling it. All the new designs, whether they're haute couture or regular styles, were designed by other colleagues in the studio. So, choosing models is their business. Besides, they should already have an idea of what kind of models to choose for their designs, so I won't add anything unnecessary."
This is tantamount to rejecting Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang certainly understood, but since she had come, she was prepared to be rejected. Knowing it wouldn't be easy, she wouldn't immediately stand up and leave after being rejected.
Ye Shuang pursed her lips and said, "Of course, the designers definitely understand, but Ye Qing, you are the boss, so you can also influence the designers. Maybe we can't do runway shows, but we can shoot print ads for you."
Of course, that's possible, but Ye Qing wouldn't agree easily, since people learn from their mistakes.
Moreover, Ye Qing really couldn't figure out what Ye Shuang meant.
If she was thinking of making a splash as a new leader and impressing the other shareholders, Ye Qing felt that if their company's models were suitable, using their company's models would be fine.
But the fear is that Ye Shuang is either a newly appointed official or simply someone who wants to cause trouble for Ye Qing.
Therefore, Ye Qing would definitely not easily agree to Ye Shuang's request.
“You and Li Yeming have a good relationship. Her studio’s brand, Jin, is launching new products soon, right? Could you help introduce us?” Ye Shuang was not discouraged by Ye Qing’s silence.
Ye Qing glanced at Ye Shuang, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "More than you coming to me to discuss cooperation, I'm curious about why you decided to become a talent agent?"
“It’s better to earn your own money than to rely on others. That’s what I learned from you. I’m not a good model, and I’m getting old. My acting skills aren’t great either. I can’t say my life was good before, but I’ve been in this industry for so long and I’ve done alright. If I don’t want to be a model or an actress anymore, I have to work hard to earn money to maintain my previous lifestyle. If I don’t earn money myself, I’ll be relying on others. So I thought I should rely on myself. And since I’m quite familiar with the modeling industry, I became an agent.”
Ye Shuang's words carried a sense of world-weariness and profound understanding.
These words might have been fine if they came from someone else, but since they came from Ye Shuang, they gave off a strange feeling.
Even Xu Xiaoyue, who hadn't said a word, couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
"Don't believe me?" Ye Shuang laughed self-deprecatingly: "Huang Yu and I broke up. The money I invested was given to me by him when we separated."
This was yet another piece of news that greatly surprised Ye Qing.
"You still don't know?" Seeing Ye Qing's incredulous expression, Ye Shuang was even more surprised than Ye Qing: "Aren't you and Huang Fei twins? You don't know any of this?"
Ye Qing said, "Huang Yu is Huang Yu, and Huang Fei is Huang Fei. They are unrelated. You don't need to say that. What does your falling out with Huang Yu have to do with Huang Fei?"
Although Ye Qing said this to Ye Shuang, she had a vague idea in her heart: could it be that Huang Yu and Ye Shuang separated for Huang Fei?
Seeing that Ye Qing seemed unhappy about Huang Fei being mentioned, Ye Shuang said, "Fine, if you say it's unrelated, then it's unrelated. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to express that I'm serious about what I'm doing now, so I hope you can consider it. Even if our relationship isn't good, I won't ruin my own livelihood."
"That's hard to say." Ye Qing: "Back then, you took the initiative to befriend me in order to lower my guard."
Ye Qing was referring to the matter of who performed the transplant surgery on Ye Shuwei when she was still alive.
Ye Shuang awkwardly touched his nose: "Times have changed."
Ye Qing didn't say anything, but she didn't agree to the modeling thing either.
Seeing that Ye Qing was still hesitating, Ye Shuang said, "Xiao Yue still has a management contract with the company. I also know that her agent is thinking of having Xiao Yue take on multiple roles because of her popularity. If we cooperate, Ye Qing, I will coordinate Xiao Yue's affairs."
Hearing Ye Shuang say that, Xu Xiaoyue got angry: "Don't drag me into this. Even if you are a shareholder of the company now, you can't control me. I'm not doing the show anymore."
Ye Shuang didn't respond to Xu Xiaoyue's words, but instead looked at Ye Qing.
This attitude not only displeased Xu Xiaoyue, but also greatly displeased Ye Qing: "Ye Shuang, Xiaoyue and I have a good relationship, but we are two independent individuals. You really don't need to use Xiaoyue to threaten people. Besides, Xiaoyue is not without options now. Even if she terminates the contract, Xiaoyue's current financial ability allows her to pay the breach of contract fee herself. Even if she can't, given her current fame, if she signs with another company, that company will pay the breach of contract fee for her. So now it's not a question of how you plan Xiaoyue's career, but rather how Xiaoyue feels. If she's in a bad mood, just terminate the contract. It's never been a difficult thing for Xiaoyue."
Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Ye Shuang realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Fortunately, there was still some time left in the press conference, so we could continue to talk to Ye Qing, but it was clear that there was no point in saying anything more today.
Ye Shuang now knew when to stop, so she didn't continue. She stood up, holding the file folder that Ye Qing hadn't even looked at, and said, "Excuse me, I'll be going now."
