Can I trust Dilson?
Because Xi Quan knocked on the car window, Dalson didn't answer the question. Before the magazine was even released, Ye Qing was always feeling uneasy.
Logically speaking, Dalson and Ye Qing had a good relationship, and Ye Qing should have trusted him.
However, due to her own upbringing, Ye Qing is very cautious about trust.
She doesn't have many friends; the only people Ye Qing can truly trust are Xi Quan and Xu Xiaoyue!
Xi Quan is her husband. Xu Xiaoyue met her when she and Ye Qing were going through difficult times. They had struggled together, and when Ye Qing went abroad, Xu Xiaoyue took care of everything at Ye Qing's studio. This trust was built up over time.
Don't criticize Ye Qing's attitude towards Dalson. In fact, even now that she knows Huang Fei is her twin sister, their relationship seems pretty good. But when something serious happens and she needs to express whether she trusts someone, Ye Qing can trust Xu Xiaoyue, but Huang Fei... Ye Qing will hesitate.
Moreover, the matter Ye Qing asked about Dalson concerned some workplace struggles and also involved Dalson's own interests, so Ye Qing dared not be certain.
Although the magazine was still some time away from being released, Ye Qing quickly received a call from Dalson after the cover photoshoot, who said they wanted to give her a sample copy.
The sample copy could have been sent directly to the studio, but Dalson called her, and Ye Qing thought she could take this opportunity to ask about the topic that had made her uneasy a couple of days ago.
So Ye Qing didn't refuse and went to meet Dalson at the agreed time.
Upon meeting Dalson, Dalson immediately handed the sample copy to Ye Qing. Ye Qing didn't rush to speak to Dalson; instead, he opened the sample copy and read the interview about himself.
After reading it, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief. It was written according to what he had said at the time. Although there were some deletions, it would not cause any misunderstanding.
Moreover, regarding the past grudges between her and Jiang Xinya, Jiang Xinya cleverly placed it in the question, taking the opportunity of asking Ye Qing to take the initiative to bring up the conflict between the two, saying that they were discussing the matter at hand.
Everything was published according to Ye Qing's wishes, except for one thing: the matter of opening classes with Nancheng University was not written about.
Although there was some hope, Ye Qing also knew that Jiang Xinya had already done a very good job.
It's clear that Jiang Xinya is also afraid that if anything happens to the magazine, she, as the editor-in-chief, will suffer as well.
After Ye Qing finished browsing the magazine and put it down, Dalson spoke up: "Judging from your attitude, the magazine should be as my secretary said, truly without any problems. So now I'll answer the question I didn't have time to answer before, or rather, I should ask you, can you trust me now?"
Ye Qing knew that Dalson could speak fluent Chinese, but reading it was a bit difficult for him. However, the fact that he was now the owner of a Chinese magazine made things seem rather strange.
However, the truth is that Jiang Xinya, who was not very competent as editor-in-chief, became the editor-in-chief, and a person who could hardly understand Chinese became the boss of a Chinese magazine.
If Ye Qing hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and if the original issue of this magazine hadn't been so famous, he would have thought it was just children playing house.
However, because of this incomprehensible situation, Ye Qing also recalled some of the things Dalson had said during the dinner party that day.
After a long silence, Ye Qing did not directly answer Dalson's question about trust. Before meeting Dalson, Ye Qing did care about this issue. Now, Ye Qing could not say that he did not care, but he did not want to get involved in unnecessary things because of trust.
Therefore, Ye Qing would not readily agree to anything Dilson said before knowing Dilson's attitude.
He picked up his water glass, took a sip to conceal his expression, and then asked calmly, "What do you want to say?"
"You guessed that I was planning to use Jiang Xinya's interview with you to make her make a mistake and get rid of her as editor-in-chief. But you guessed my purpose. In order to keep your trust in me, I did nothing. But Ye Qing, my purpose in coming to Nancheng is to find a way to make Jiang Xinya unable to be the editor-in-chief. I need your help."
Dalson spoke sincerely, but Ye Qing was a little annoyed. How did she end up getting involved in the conflict between other companies?
To be honest, Ye Qing felt a little sorry for Dalson.
However, while Ye Qing sympathized with Dilson, it didn't mean he would blindly help him. Putting down his water glass, Ye Qing said calmly, "You should know me. We used to work for the same company, but when things like this happened at the company, I always stayed out of it and never got involved. Now that we're not in the same company, I have even less reason to get involved in your company's infighting."
Dalson wasn't surprised by Ye Qing's response, but since he had come, he must have been prepared.
"If you help me, I'll give you the back cover ad for three issues of our magazine."
Ye Qing was shocked by what Dalson said.
Although it was only around the turn of the millennium and advertising prices were still reasonable, in reality, the prices for fashion magazine cover ads were extremely high.
Generally, the cover of such magazines features a person, while the back cover is considered the prime location.
However, Dalson made a bold move, allocating the back cover advertising slots for all three phases to its own brand.
If my brand were a big brand, it would make sense. However, the reality is that my brand is the kind that even if I paid for advertising with the magazine, their advertising department wouldn't accept it.
Because their magazine is a big brand, but Ye Qing's own brand is not big enough. That's why Jiang Xinya was so angry when Ye Qing said that she didn't have enough photos of herself on the cover and asked models to wear their brand's ready-to-wear clothes for the shoot.
Besides the hassle of finding models on short notice, there are also issues with advertising and money.
Although Jiang Xinya later compromised with the magazine, it doesn't mean Ye Qing became arrogant.
So after the initial shock, Ye Qing tried hard to process what Dalson had said. After confirming that Dalson wasn't joking, Ye Qing was even more puzzled: "Dalson, putting aside the fact that we're friends, just talking about work, do you think I would get a back cover ad if I paid to place an ad with your magazine?"
“So this is a very rare opportunity for you,” Dalson said.
Ye Qing laughed: "You're completely avoiding the main point. And the conditions you've offered me are so attractive that I'm even more curious about who this Jiang Xinya is, that your headquarters is willing to go to such lengths for her?"
