Ye Qing's words made Jiang Xinya feel awkward again.
Ye Qing's words seemed to ask, "How did you become the editor-in-chief? Didn't you do any research beforehand?"
In fact, Jiang Xinya had read the survey conducted by the magazine. Although she did not know at the time that Ye Qing would be invited to shoot the cover, Jiang Xinya had a general idea.
However, when facing Ye Qing, anger and resentment became her main emotions, so she neglected the things she should have talked about.
Glancing at Jiang Xinya's embarrassed expression, Ye Qing knew that she had probably taken his words to heart. "So, think carefully about what to do."
Having said all that, Ye Qing decided not to say any more. After all, saying too much would make it seem like she desperately wanted to be on their magazine's cover: "Also, if there's nothing else to discuss, let's leave it at that. We can schedule a time after your magazine has made a decision."
As she spoke, Ye Qing picked up her bag and coat, preparing to leave.
Jiang Xinya looked at Ye Qing with a questioning gaze, as if she were probing his soul. That's it? He's leaving already?
Having understood Jiang Xinya's probing question, Ye Qing pretended to have just remembered and added, "Oh, right, if you decide to film this, there should be some simple interviews or something, right? I need to take a look at the interview transcripts first."
After finishing speaking, Ye Qing walked to the office door, opened it, and called over her colleague, the same colleague who had previously suggested that Ye Qing shoot a cover and whom Ye Qing had also given a raise.
Ye Qing gestured to her colleague, indicating that she should see the guest out.
The other party immediately understood Ye Qing's meaning, gave Ye Qing an OK sign, then went into Ye Qing's office and politely addressed Jiang Xinya.
Jiang Xinya stared at Ye Qing's retreating figure, gave a cold, insincere snort, grabbed her bag, and left.
Watching her figure disappear outside the studio, Ye Qing returned with her coat and bag.
The colleague who had just seen Jiang Xinya off saw Ye Qing return and quickly went to Ye Qing's office to ask, "Director, how did it go?"
"I think it's fine," Ye Qing said, blinking.
Ye Qing is now able to remain calm, and she didn't initially intend to shoot a cover. Although shooting one would have been beneficial for her, she wasn't disappointed because she had no expectations.
But Jiang Xinya was different. The magazine was about to be reviewed and finalized, but the cover hadn't come out yet. This was a huge taboo. Anyone who was anxious would know how anxious she was.
After speaking about Jiang Xinya, Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "Now what we need to prepare is for you to work hard to select all the ready-to-wear styles that need to be modeled, and then select the models..."
When the topic of models came up, Ye Qing paused for a moment before saying, "You should choose your clothes first. After you've chosen, I'll tell you what models to look for."
"For ready-to-wear clothing, we have regular models working with us, can't we use them?"
Ye Qing said, "This is for the inaugural issue of the magazine. Although it's not the cover, it's still very important. The magazine definitely wants to find someone with a bit of fame. Even if the magazine doesn't have any requirements, we can't be too casual. After all, we've been holding back on the cover issue for a while, so we have to give the magazine some incentive. The model who has been working with our studio before is suitable, even if she's a little less famous."
That makes sense, so the colleague didn't say anything more, and it was also clear that Ye Qing had her own ideas about this matter.
It's just taking still photos, not a fashion show, and the designer won't insist on using the same models.
Just as the other party thought, Ye Qing did have some ideas in mind. After his colleague left, Ye Qing called Ye Shuang.
The moment Ye Shuang received Ye Qing's call, she was overjoyed, and roughly guessed why Ye Qing was looking for her.
Hearing Ye Shuang's obviously happy voice on the other end of the phone, Ye Qing knew that Ye Shuang had probably guessed it. However, some things were not clear over the phone, so Ye Qing did not give specifics. Instead, he asked Ye Shuang if she had time. He said he was in the studio and if she had time, they could meet and talk.
Even if Ye Shuang didn't have time now, she would still push things aside. Ye Shuang is very career-oriented now, and Ye Qing's request for her was clearly for business, so Ye Shuang had no reason to refuse.
Because Ye Shuang was coming over, Ye Qing didn't rush home and waited for Ye Shuang at the studio.
Ye Qing and Ye Shuang aren't exactly close now, but they're both very calm and only talk about work, which makes things much simpler. After Ye Shuang arrived, Ye Qing directly told her why he was looking for her: "I'll most likely be shooting a cover. I definitely won't be able to include your company's models on the cover, but I can help get some inside photos. Of course, I'll try my best."
"You should find a few models you want to promote aggressively, but Ye Shuang, find those who are already famous. Don't bring in the newcomers your company just signed. Maybe the newcomers have potential, but for the cover, I've already had several rounds of discussions with the magazine. I'm playing the bad guy now, so it's impossible for me to push completely new models onto them."
Ye Shuang nodded: "I understand what you mean. Let's find the same models who participated in Li Yeming's brand fashion show before. There were two models who participated in that show. I'll bring them both. You can choose the one who can better handle your clothing style."
After listening, Ye Qing nodded, wondering what to say next.
However, before Ye Qing could figure out what to say, Ye Shuang spoke first: "You helped me again this time. How do you want me to help you? Just tell me. As long as it's something I can do to help, I will definitely do it."
Ye Qing was still figuring out how to bring it up with Ye Shuang, but unexpectedly, Ye Shuang spoke first. After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said, "Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya know each other, and they seem to have a pretty good relationship..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Shuang understood Ye Qing's meaning: "I understand. I'll help you find out what the relationship is between them, or what they're up to by getting together. But I don't think it's anything good for them to be together. However, Yang Zi shouldn't have time to bother you lately."
Ye Qing asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? How do you know Yang Zi doesn't have time to cause me trouble?"
"Didn't you already know? Yang Zi's son was arrested. He has to pay back the money he owed before he might get a shorter sentence. Yang Zi is so busy dealing with her son's situation that she can't even keep up with it all," Ye Shuang said.
Ye Qing knew about this. She thought the same way. She also felt that Yang Zi should focus on her son's affairs, and most importantly, help him raise money to pay off his debts.
However, the fact that Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya contacted each other at this critical juncture made Ye Qing suspicious.
