As usual, it was Jiang Xinya who made the call from the magazine. Normally, it wouldn't be necessary for Jiang Xinya to make a call herself for such a small matter as confirming the time.
However, after all the previous twists and turns, everyone at the magazine knew that whether Ye Qing did it intentionally or unintentionally, she had no intention of making things easy for Jiang Xinya. Since that was the case, no one was a novice in the workplace, so why bother to step forward and make things uncomfortable?
Moreover, to be honest, Jiang Xinya's position as editor-in-chief didn't exactly inspire much respect. There were many people within the magazine who disliked her, which meant that whenever Jiang Xinya gave instructions, people would always try to find ways to shirk their responsibilities.
In the end, Jiang Xinya had to do everything herself.
In the past, Jiang Xinya would have been angry and ready to cause trouble, but now the magazine is about to be printed and typed, and the cover is not yet ready.
If we really investigate, she, as the editor-in-chief, will look quite bad.
But after patiently calling Ye Qing, he actually scheduled the shoot for the afternoon. Jiang Xinya held back for a while but couldn't help but exclaim, "Ye Qing, you dare to say something like that, scheduling the shoot for the afternoon!"
Even over the phone, Ye Qing could sense the coldness in Jiang Xinya's words. He thought that if Jiang Xinya were in front of him, she would probably be even more furious.
Since Ye Qing had arranged the time for the afternoon, it meant that he had considered all the possibilities.
Jiang Xinya's colleagues at the magazine felt that Ye Qing wanted to cause trouble for her. In fact, although Ye Qing did not intend to cause trouble for Jiang Xinya, he was indeed trying to intimidate her.
There is a conflict between her and Jiang Xinya, and it is a big one. Ye Qing doesn't know if the two can make up in the future, but at present, it is impossible for them to make up. Since it is impossible to make up, then she must consider Jiang Xinya's interests in everything.
Moreover, rather than waiting for Jiang Xinya to take the initiative to deal with him, Ye Qing felt it was better to take the initiative.
So although Jiang Xinya on the other end of the phone was gritting her teeth, Ye Qing remained very calm: "What do you mean? Is it wrong of me to arrange to meet in the afternoon?"
First, she asked Jiang Xinya with a wronged tone, then, noticing that Jiang Xinya seemed about to speak, Ye Qing didn't give her a chance and quickly spoke again: "I thought you were about to start typesetting and printing, so I wanted to help you out as soon as possible. It seems you're well prepared, so I don't need to worry about you."
Jiang Xinya was already angry, and hearing Ye Qing's words made her even angrier, even feeling that Ye Qing was doing it on purpose: "Ye Qing, why are you doing this? Taking photos requires a location, a photographer, and so on. Of course, since your shoot is in your studio, the location is easy to arrange. But what about the photographer, the makeup artist, the staff, and so on? We don't need to coordinate those. Since we do need to coordinate, I'll call you now, and you can have the shoot this afternoon..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xinya stopped talking, feeling angry every time she made the call.
Ye Qing was indeed doing it on purpose. Upon hearing Jiang Xinya's words, she pretended to suddenly realize something. "So you couldn't find a photographer? You should have said so earlier. As for the makeup artist you mentioned, I think anyone will do. If all else fails, I can do my own makeup. Although it's a cover shoot, I'm not a model or a celebrity, and the cover doesn't need to have any theme. A studio shoot is just like a work photo shoot, so there's no need for complicated makeup."
Hearing Ye Qing resolve what she considered a very difficult situation with just a few words, Jiang Xinya felt even more resentful.
She twisted the phone cord between her fingers, trying to calm herself down, but just as she managed to control her emotions, she heard Ye Qing say, "It's settled then, you're all going to come to my studio to film this afternoon. I don't have that much time to wait for you to come every day to film, after all, nobody has nothing better to do."
After saying that, Ye Qing hung up the phone without giving Jiang Xinya a chance to speak.
Ye Qing wasn't sure if Ma Wei had scared Jiang Xinya, but just like she had said earlier to deliberately annoy Jiang Xinya, aside from the makeup artist, the photographer was the most important person in the photoshoot.
The most important thing is to prepare it yourself first.
Judging from Jiang Xinya's tone on the phone, the photographer probably hadn't been contacted yet, or rather, the timing hadn't been agreed upon.
Ye Qing felt that he could talk to Liang Lu. Although he had some reservations about some of Liang Lu's personal practices, he would say frankly that Liang Lu's professionalism was impeccable.
So Ye Qing thought that it would be okay to call Liang Lu and arrange a time, since Liang Lu felt guilty about the matter of Grandma Xi Quan. If the time was not particularly inconvenient, Ye Qing felt that Liang Lu would not refuse.
After making up her mind, Ye Qing found Liang Lu's contact information and prepared to contact him. Ye Qing was afraid that if she was too late, Jiang Xinya would beat her to it, and then her sarcastic remarks to her earlier would be a bit embarrassing.
Liang Lu was quite surprised to receive Ye Qing's call. Before Xi Quan's grandmother's incident, Liang Lu and Ye Qing didn't have much contact. But now, because of Xi Yue, his contact with Xi Quan has gradually decreased, let alone Ye Qing.
So even though they were on the phone, Ye Qing could sense Liang Lu's surprise.
Ye Qing actually knew why Liang Lu was surprised, so she didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I wanted to ask you for a favor. Are you free this afternoon?"
Liang Lu shook his head: "It's nothing."
"I need to take photos this afternoon, could you spare some time to come and help me?" Ye Qing explained the purpose of her call.
Although Liang Lu is a photographer, he usually only shoots still images, that is, just photos. So he often collaborates with magazines and had heard about Ye Qing's upcoming magazine cover shoot some time ago.
So when Liang Lu heard that Ye Qing had asked him to help shoot a cover, he was no longer surprised when he received the call, but he had other doubts. Usually, it was the magazines that came to him, so why was the photographer taking the initiative to find him?
Ye Qing seemed to sense Liang Lu's doubts. Although she didn't explain the specific reason to Liang Lu, she subtly mentioned, "If the magazine contacts you, please help create the illusion that you don't have time."
Liang Lu nodded knowingly. Back when Ye Qing hadn't gone abroad yet, she had asked him to help her with something similar.
Hearing Ye Qing say this again, Liang Lu didn't ask any questions and quickly understood what was going on.
Liang Lu might not be aware of the intricacies of interpersonal relationships within the magazine, but he certainly knew who Jiang Xinya, the magazine's editor-in-chief, was, and roughly knew that Ye Qing was trying to establish a power struggle with Jiang Xinya.
Liang Lu was willing to help with such a small matter, so he agreed to Ye Qing's request and reassured her.
After hanging up with Liang Lu, Ye Qing thought about telling her colleagues at the studio when she remembered something else and made another call.
