Hearing Ye Shuang's words, Ye Qing shook his head, "It's alright, let's go."
She helped Ye Qing up and looked at her again. Seeing that Ye Qing didn't seem to be in any trouble, Ye Shuang didn't ask any more questions. After all, her relationship with Ye Qing wasn't that good.
So Ye Shuang thanked Ye Qing as planned.
Although Ye Qing said it was nothing, he was still thinking about Dalson's attitude. So he was a little absent-minded when talking to Ye Shuang. When he heard Ye Shuang thank him, Ye Qing was stunned and didn't understand why Ye Shuang was thanking him.
Seeing Ye Qing's bewildered look, Ye Shuang explained it again.
After understanding what Ye Shuang meant, Ye Qing said, "Actually, there's no need to thank me. I'm not as great as you say. The models are showcasing ready-to-wear clothing from my own brand. I'm doing this for my own sake."
This statement is tantamount to saying that models are merely tools for displaying clothes.
And that is indeed the case.
However, Ye Shuang also knew that since he was just a tool, he could choose anyone. But Ye Qing had helped him by giving his models a chance, and for the sake of future cooperation, Ye Shuang felt it was necessary to say thank you.
So Ye Shuang smiled at Ye Qing's statement, her attitude neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but still full of gratitude.
Ye Qing could certainly guess Ye Shuang's thoughts, but for Ye Qing, doing so wouldn't cost her anything. Besides, having more friends was always better than having enemies all the time.
Although he and Ye Shuang are still not friends, they are no longer enemies either.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing hesitated for a moment and asked Ye Shuang, "When you were a model, did you have many opportunities to interact with Jiang Xinya?"
Hearing Ye Qing ask this, Ye Shuang remembered that a few days ago Ye Qing had asked her to help find out the relationship between Jiang Xinya and Yang Zi, which she hadn't found out yet. She thought Ye Qing was in a hurry, so she said, "I'm currently asking around about the relationship between Jiang Xinya and Yang Zi. It should be soon."
Ye Qing was puzzled by Ye Shuang's irrelevant answer, but she quickly remembered that she had indeed told Ye Shuang that she hoped Ye Qing could help inquire about the relationship between Jiang Xinya and Yang Zi.
Although Ye Qing felt a sense of unease about the fact that Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya knew each other and even had coffee together, she also knew that things were probably not that simple. After all, she had once thought that the two of them were completely unrelated, so it was normal that she didn't want to inquire about them.
After realizing what Ye Shuang meant, Ye Qing said, "I didn't mean to rush you. I asked you about Jiang Xinya not because of this matter, but simply because I wanted to hear your opinion."
"Jiang Xinya? What opinion do you want to hear from me?" Ye Shuang knew about the conflict between Ye Qing and Jiang Xinya, but she didn't quite understand what Ye Qing meant.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing felt that it wouldn't hurt to tell Ye Shuang some things. Besides, Ye Shuang felt that she had helped her and was thinking about expressing her gratitude. So, under these circumstances, Ye Shuang probably wouldn't casually tell others what she meant. "What I mean is, do you think that, based on Jiang Xinya's abilities, she is qualified to become the editor-in-chief of ONE?"
Ye Shuang never expected that Ye Qing would discuss such a pointed workplace issue with her.
Although Ye Shuang and Jiang Xinya weren't very familiar with each other before, they were just acquaintances because they were in the same circle.
However, since Jiang Xinya became the editor-in-chief of the new magazine, Ye Shuang has been paying close attention because she hoped that her models could be featured in the magazine's inaugural issue. Therefore, Ye Shuang may not know everything about Ye Qing's cover shoot, but she knows the general outline.
Because you know the general idea, you can also glean some insights from it.
While Ye Qing did intend to intimidate Jiang Xinya, Jiang Xinya's own abilities were indeed somewhat questionable.
In the past, Ye Shuang might not have felt this way. Now, Ye Shuang has focused all her attention on her career and has experienced a lot in the workplace, so she has some thoughts on Jiang Xinya's actions.
After understanding Ye Qing's meaning, Ye Shuang carefully considered her words and said, "You think there's something fishy about Jiang Xinya becoming the editor-in-chief?"
Before Ye Qing could speak, Ye Shuang continued, "But this is an international fashion magazine. It's not that easy to get in through connections. Besides, the general manager is sent from headquarters, and you know Dalson."
"It's not simple, but it's not impossible either. If Jiang Xinya were really capable, that would be one thing, but she can't even handle basic tasks like modeling and photography. Don't you think that's a bit too outrageous? It's only because she's not capable that I was able to speak up for you this time and get your company's models to shoot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had this opportunity at all."
Ye Qing finished speaking, then thought for a moment and gave an example, "For example, if you were Jiang Xinya, asking me to shoot a cover would have already made her very angry, but you could say it was her boss's decision and she couldn't go against it. So, when it came to finding a photographer and model in a tight timeframe, she shouldn't have given me the opportunity. If she had, she would have completely lost. The current situation is that she has done almost nothing and has followed the path I laid out for her. Do you think she's playing dumb or is she really incompetent?"
Ye Shuang took Ye Qing's words to heart and followed up on Ye Qing's analysis, saying, "If she's pretending to be weak to deceive others, then you need to be careful. If she really isn't capable, then the magazine's actions are also very strange. Why would they entrust such an important magazine to her?"
Ye Qing was already puzzled by this matter, and after listening to Ye Shuang's analysis, he felt even more strongly that there was something wrong with it.
Because the two were talking, they walked to the very back. When they arrived at the parking area, everyone was waiting for Ye Qing and Ye Shuang, and the two of them felt a little embarrassed.
However, because Ye Qing was pregnant, no one said anything. Perhaps some people were impatient, but they didn't show it.
Ye Shuang drove herself when she arrived. Although she didn't think that Ye Qing's relationship had improved just because she had talked to her a few times, Ye Shuang figured Ye Qing wouldn't refuse to ride in her car, so after finding her car, Ye Shuang waited for Ye Qing to get in.
But Ye Qing glanced ahead and said to Ye Shuang, "You go first, I'll take Dalson's car."
"Huh?" Ye Shuang was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded: "Okay."
Ye Qing waved in the direction of Dalson's car, knowing that Dalson had seen her.
In fact, Dalson, who had already gotten into the car and was about to have the driver start, did see Ye Qing waving at him. He told the driver to wait a moment, then got out of the car and waited for Ye Qing to slowly walk over.
Dalson very gentlemanly opened the car door for Ye Qing before getting back into the car and letting the driver drive.
