Ye Shuang used to be a model, so she knew about some of the so-called unwritten rules. This was because at this time, almost everyone was preparing for the new season's launch, fashion week, and so on.
The models who were supposed to be chosen were all chosen a long time ago.
Ye Shuang came to Ye Qing because she had no other choice, and she knew that Ye Qing was actually going through a difficult time.
But sometimes, how should I put it, when you've been enemies with someone for a long time, you instinctively think of the person who used to oppose you when you encounter problems.
That's why Ye Shuang kept coming to find Ye Qing.
Ye Qing rarely saw such a troubled expression on Ye Shuang's face. In the past, Ye Qing had only seen disdain, anger, or smugness on Ye Shuang's face.
She never showed weakness in front of Ye Qing.
Although Ye Shuang didn't back down, her expression betrayed it. Ye Qing's eyes flickered; perhaps because of her pregnancy, she felt she had become much kinder. After a long silence, Ye Qing said, "Your collaboration with our studio is definitely not possible now. If I had designed new styles this year, I could have helped you, but I haven't this year, so... however..."
"But what?" Hearing Ye Qing say that, Ye Shuang's eyes lit up, and before Ye Qing could finish speaking, she asked, "You have another way?"
"It's not really about giving solutions, but you know Li Yeming's studio, right?" Ye Qing asked.
Ye Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Is it the brand Jin?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes."
Ye Shuang asked, "Has her brand's new season launch event not been confirmed yet?"
"I don't know. Let me tell you my thoughts first. If you think it's okay, I can ask around for you. If it works out, that would be great. If not, there's nothing I can do." Ye Qing put the unpleasant truth upfront.
Ye Shuang nodded vigorously: "I understand. Tell me your thoughts first."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing reorganized her words: "You've just invested in a talent agency and taken over the model agency department. You're thinking that as a new broom sweeps clean, you want others to see your abilities."
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I think.” Ye Shuang agreed with Ye Qing.
Ye Qing: "You're right to think that way, but it's obviously inappropriate to think that all the contracted models in your company's model agency department should have work."
Seeing that Ye Shuang wanted to object to what she said, Ye Qing interrupted her: "You don't need to rush to object. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just trying to help you analyze it. What I mean is that the models your model agency signs are definitely of varying quality. It's unrealistic for everyone to have a job. This is true in all industries. I think you should just pick one or two with good qualities. If they become famous, that will be your achievement. Are you worried that no one will respect you in the future? Not to mention comparing them to those so-called supermodels from abroad, just being able to make a name for yourself in Nancheng is enough for you. There's a saying that goes, it's not about quantity, but quality."
When Ye Shuang heard Ye Qing say this, she seemed to have a sudden realization: "That's right, my strategy of scattering fish everywhere is useless."
"No, it's not that casting a wide net is useless, but you need to select one or a few gems from the fish you cast," Ye Qing said. "Right now, anyone in this industry knows that the models for the big brands' launch events are almost all booked, so it's not easy to get a chance to participate."
Even though they know it, you still need to emphasize to them that you shouldn't let them think that because you go out every day to run around, find connections, and do favors, they could walk the runway.
"Don't let them think that way. You need to emphasize that you're only looking for people with good qualifications right now. If Li Yeming does manage to open up one or two positions later, you can talk to them when you get back, and you won't be in such a passive position."
After listening to Ye Qing's explanation, Ye Shuang felt even more foolish for going against Ye Qing in the past. "Okay, I'll go back and tell them. I hope you can put in a good word for Li Yeming."
"Since I've told you so much, I will naturally continue to speak, but as I said before, I can't guarantee 100% at this point." Ye Qing still didn't give a definitive answer, after all, she was talking to Li Yeming and needed to see what Li Yeming thought.
Ye Shuang nodded hurriedly.
After she left, Ye Qing took a deep breath and thought about what Ye Shuang had said about Huang Yu.
Although Li Yeming couldn't guarantee what Ye Qing and Ye Shuang said, Ye Qing thought that one or two should be possible, since Li Yeming had asked her for help a lot before, and she hadn't properly thanked her.
However, just to be on the safe side, Ye Qing first called Li Yeming and subtly mentioned the matter. Li Yeming immediately understood what Ye Qing meant and said it was no problem, but they would need to see the models first.
Since Li Yeming was fine, Ye Qing wasn't too worried. However, she wouldn't call Ye Shuang right away to discuss it, as that would give Ye Shuang the impression that helping her was too easy.
Although Ye Qing helped Ye Shuang without holding a grudge, she wouldn't do it for nothing; she hoped Ye Shuang would remember her kindness.
So Ye Qing thought it best to stretch it out first.
Next up was Huang Yu's matter. Just as Ye Qing was wondering what excuse to use to contact Huang Yu, Huang Yu called Ye Qing first, saying that she could come and sign the contract for the shop she wanted to rent at any time.
This phone call served as a reminder to Ye Qing.
However, Ye Qing didn't need to personally sign the contract to rent a shop, but he took the opportunity to meet with Huang Yu to have a chat.
Huang Yu didn't refuse and still made an appointment with Ye Qing at a coffee shop in the mall where the two of them had coincidentally bumped into each other before.
Just like last time, Ye Qing only ordered a glass of lemonade. She arrived a little early and waited for a while before Huang Yu arrived.
"Sorry, something came up and I'm a little late."
Ye Qing smiled and said to the apologetic Huang Yu, "It's alright, I just arrived too."
"You can have your colleague sign the contract for the shop. There's no need for you to make the trip in your current state," Huang Yu said after ordering a coffee and waiting for the waiter to leave.
"You should know I didn't come to you about the shop," Ye Qing said, not beating around the bush with Huang Yu.
After a moment of silence, Huang Yu asked, "You've talked to Huang Fei. How did it go?"
"I haven't met her yet," Ye Qing said truthfully.
“Then you…” Huang Yu was stunned for a moment. When he looked at Ye Qing, he realized that Ye Qing was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Ye Qing said, "I'll say it again: you should know why I'm here to see you, and I think you guessed I would come to see you, since you deliberately said contradictory things in front of me and Xi Quan."
