When Ye Qing heard Ye Shuang say this, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Shuang, but did not ask why, waiting for Ye Shuang to explain herself.
Ye Shuang said this because she attributed all of Ye Qing's concerns to Jiang Xinya. Although Ye Qing said it wasn't entirely Jiang Xinya's fault, Ye Shuang still attributed all of Ye Qing's hesitation to Jiang Xinya because, in Ye Shuang's view, even if Jiang Xinya wasn't the sole reason for Ye Qing's hesitation, she was still more than 80% responsible.
So when Ye Qing looked at her, Ye Shuang told him what was on her mind: "You had a conflict with Jiang Xinya before, and I understand that you don't want to provoke her."
"But if they hadn't mentioned having you shoot the cover, I think it's normal that you didn't volunteer. However, now that Jiang Xinya's boss has approached you and insisted on having you shoot the cover, Jiang Xinya will naturally feel uncomfortable and resentful. But if you don't shoot, she might not be grateful to you; instead, she might hold an even greater grudge."
Ye Qing had considered what Ye Shuang said, but he didn't think that taking the photos was a good idea. So, the key reason for Ye Qing's hesitation was that he felt his fame or his position in the design industry wasn't high enough to warrant appearing on such an important cover.
“What you said makes sense, but I still need to think about it. I can’t be too impulsive. I’m not afraid of having enemies, but I won’t keep making enemies. I’ve always believed that I won’t offend others unless they offend me.”
Ye Qing still didn't budge.
Although Ye Shuang really hoped that Ye Qing could go and film, and then help introduce some jobs to the models in her company, Ye Shuang couldn't say too much since Ye Qing wouldn't budge. After all, Ye Shuang and Ye Qing's relationship hadn't really reached the point where they could talk about anything.
Ye Qing knew why Ye Shuang had come to see him, and since Ye Qing had already said everything that needed to be said, Ye Shuang didn't chat with Ye Qing any longer and left first.
The two arranged to meet outside. Before leaving, Ye Shuang hesitated for a moment and asked Ye Qing if she wanted him to take her home. Ye Qing politely declined.
Although she was pregnant, she was in good health and not too fragile. Since she was out, she thought she might as well take a walk around and then go to the studio later, so she let Ye Shuang go first.
After Ye Shuang left, Ye Qing sat alone for a while, finished her hot drink, and then walked towards the studio.
Since the distance wasn't far, Ye Qing didn't take a taxi and walked there instead.
As Ye Qing crossed an intersection, she suddenly saw two familiar people. She froze for a moment, then quickly hid at the corner.
In that instant, her movements were so swift that she didn't seem like a pregnant woman at all.
However, Ye Qing himself did not feel whether his movements were quick or agile. The two familiar people made Ye Qing feel uneasy.
Actually, Ye Qing initially saw one of the two people, Yang Zi!
Or rather, Ye Qing was the first to recognize Yang Zi. The moment she saw Yang Zi, Ye Qing was stunned. In the instant she reacted, she also recognized who the woman with Yang Zi was!
It was Jiang Xinya, who had only been heard of but never seen, who had returned to the southern city.
Ye Qing and Jiang Xinya didn't have much contact back then. After Jiang Xinya left Nancheng, Ye Qing never saw or heard of her again. Now, her sudden appearance, and in such a triumphant manner, made Ye Qing wary.
Even so, unexpectedly, Yang Zi ended up getting involved with Jiang Xinya.
Before leaving Nancheng, Jiang Xinya also worked at a magazine. At that time, although Yang Zi had already sold Zitai Fashion to Xi Quan, she was still a person in the design industry, so it was normal for her to know Jiang Xinya.
If they knew each other before, it's fine if they contact each other again now. The problem is that they didn't know each other before, but now they've reconnected for some reason.
And for some reason, Ye Qing was very afraid that it was himself.
Jiang Xinya and Yang Zi came out of a newly opened chain coffee shop on the other side of the intersection.
Ye Qing stood in a spot where the two women couldn't see him, but he could see them. He waited until they had both left before he left as well.
Ye Qing had just met Ye Shuang, and although Ye Shuang had said quite a bit, it hadn't made Ye Qing think much of it, or rather, Ye Qing hadn't really listened to what Ye Shuang was saying. However, now that Ye Qing saw Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya, he started to seriously consider the issue of shooting the cover.
Ye Qing had previously said that she hadn't thought it through, but it wasn't so much that she was hesitant, but rather that she wanted to stall and see how things went, and then politely decline if things really didn't work out.
Upon arriving at the studio, Ye Qing's colleagues all came over to greet her and cautiously touched her prominently protruding belly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Qing returned to her office, and a designer who was temporarily in charge of the studio's daily work followed her into her office.
Ye Qing glanced at the person who had followed her in, waiting for her to speak.
"Mr. Ye, I heard that ONE wants you to shoot a cover for their magazine?"
It's normal for Ye Shuang's colleagues in her studio to know what she knows, so it's not surprising. Ye Qing didn't deny it and asked, "Yes, do you have some thoughts about this?"
"So, are you going to film it or are you not afraid?"
Ye Qing laughed and joked, "I should be reserved in these kinds of things. Although I'm not very famous, I can't just agree to something without saying anything when someone contacts me."
I didn't say I wouldn't film, but I didn't refuse either.
My colleague thought for a moment and said, "I think you should take the picture."
This colleague was recruited by Liu Yuliang when Ye Qing went abroad and Liu Yuliang was in charge of Qingye Studio. Although he also studied design, like Liu Yuliang, he was very good at sales.
Now she's less focused on design and more on the studio's daily marketing, which means figuring out how to sell the clothes.
Since the other party had said that, Ye Qing knew that the studio definitely needed marketing at the moment, so Ye Qing said, "Tell me your thoughts first."
"Currently, our studio's haute couture gowns are quite good, but after all, there is still a gap between us and brands. It's not enough to make money solely from haute couture; we need to find ways to sell our everyday ready-to-wear clothes."
But now, it seems to everyone that we only design formal dresses and have no other business. Of course, people who come to the store to make formal dresses also buy regular ready-to-wear clothing, but sales are still not good. And more importantly, we did take over a storefront before, and it's already renovated. Because it's located in a large shopping mall, ready-to-wear clothing is usually sold there. Now, even good wine needs advertising; we need to find a way to promote ourselves.
After hearing this, Ye Qing felt that he had to make a decision. Indeed, if his studio really grew big, then he wouldn't need to do this. The current reality was that his studio was only half-full and making a lot of noise.
