Li Yeming felt quite embarrassed by Ye Qing's words. Her eyes flickered and she said, "You helped me a lot in signing with Zitai Fashion. Just as you said, I did receive a lot of benefits after signing with Zitai Fashion."
My desire to terminate the contract now is not out of ingratitude; I just want to involve Zitai Fashion, because Yang Zi clearly wants to return to Zitai Fashion.
"Of course I could talk to Liu Yuliang about terminating the contract, but I just learned that his mother is acting as his agent for Yang Zi's shares in Zitai Fashion, and she seems to trust Yang Zi a lot, so I'm a little hesitant to talk to Liu Yuliang directly. That's why I contacted you first."
Ye Qing never expected that this matter was related to Liu Yuliang!
After the initial shock, Ye Qing asked Li Yeming, "So Liu Yuliang is in cahoots with Yang Zi?"
Li Yeming shook his head: "It shouldn't be. They're just targeting Liu Yuliang's mother. I'm not very clear about what's going on with Zitai Fashion, but Liu Yuliang has shares in Zitai Fashion, right? I think Yang Zi can still get back to Zitai Fashion if she wants to. And even if she can't, getting some money shouldn't be a problem. So I'm thinking of terminating the contract as soon as possible."
Ye Qing was completely confused: "What's the necessary connection between Yang Zi wanting to return to Zitai Fashion and your studio terminating its contract with Zitai Fashion?"
"It's somewhat related. She was thinking of using my studio. Although I'm not entirely sure, I did ask a lawyer a bit. If they really wanted to do something, even if they couldn't do it in the end, just the lawsuit would drag on for a long time, which would definitely affect the development of Taizi Fashion. So I was thinking..." Li Yeming kept going on about terminating the contract.
Ye Qing remained silent for a long time before finally speaking up: "Sister Li, I am very grateful that you told me all this, but I still hope that you can be more honest and tell me more details."
Otherwise, based on what you've said, I really don't think Yang Zi poses any threat. Isn't this studio your own? What does it have to do with Yang Zi?
And then there's Liu Yuliang. Of course, I was quite surprised that he gave his shares to his mother, but if, as you say, Liu Yuliang and Yang Zi aren't in cahoots, then there's nothing to worry about.
If Liu Yuliang and Yang Zi are not in cahoots, then Ye Qing can understand why Liu Yuliang gave the shares to his mother. Liu Yuliang probably thought he would use this method to stop his mother from making things difficult for Xu Xiaoyue.
Regardless of whether Liu Yuliang's method was useful or not, Ye Qing believed it had nothing to do with what Li Yeming had said.
“From what Yang Zi said, the old lady is easily influenced. What if Yang Zi tries to persuade the old lady to sell her shares to Yang Zi?” Li Yeming didn’t answer Ye Qing’s question directly, but asked Ye Qing instead.
Ye Qing originally respected Li Yeming a lot, but Li Yeming's attitude really made people reluctant to acknowledge him.
“Even if Yang Zi wants to buy, she needs money. Liu Yuliang’s mother might be as easily influenced as you say, but she wouldn’t be so foolish as to give the shares to Yang Zi without asking for money, right? Where does Yang Zi’s money come from?” After Ye Qing finished speaking, she suddenly thought of a key figure: Jiang Xinya is rich!
So Ye Qing asked Li Yeming again, "So, is it Yang Zi who wants to go back to Zitai Fashion or Jiang Xinya? I know about your relationship with Yang Zi, and you know Jiang Xinya too, right?"
When Ye Qing asked him that question, Li Yeming felt even more guilty and dared not look at Ye Qing anymore.
"Sister Li..." Ye Qing called out to Li Yeming earnestly.
Li Yeming said, "Ye Qing, don't ask anymore. Just terminate the contract if you can. From now on, I'll be on my own and have nothing to do with Zitai Fashion."
Logically, now that things have come to this point, it's time to terminate the contract, but terminating a contract isn't that easy.
Taizi Fashion is now steadily developing according to Ye Qing's original plan. In addition to clothing, it also includes accessories, and the name of Li Yeming Studio appears in the catalog of each season's new products.
According to Li Yeming, terminating the contract would be beneficial for Zitai Fashion in the future, but in the short term, it's not a good thing.
After all, the fashion industry was in a very turbulent period before, and now that it has finally started to develop steadily, doing this again would be like asking for trouble.
Even if Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya want to do something, the solution now is to resolve the issue, not to simply and crudely terminate the contract directly, which is the worst possible approach.
Ye Qing knew that the key to this matter lay with Jiang Xinya and Li Yeming.
Although Li Yeming kept referring to Yang Zi, Ye Qing knew that Yang Zi and Li Yeming had been fighting for many years, back and forth, arguing and making up before finally breaking up completely. Li Yeming had never shown any fear of Yang Zi.
But Li Yeming's current performance... is a bit intimidating.
Although Ye Qing realized that the key was Jiang Xinya, Li Yeming was not saying anything, and Ye Qing was helpless and very anxious.
But Ye Qing was unwilling to leave like this, so she didn't ask Li Yeming anything further. Instead, she continued on the topic of Li Yeming terminating the contract: "Since you're in such a hurry to terminate the contract, let's talk about it now. The contract you signed with Zitai Fashion doesn't have a fixed term."
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, your studio is essentially a subsidiary of Zizai Fashion. Zizai Fashion has been involved in its operation, covering everything from earlier model competitions to seasonal advertising campaigns. If you terminate the contract now, it will result in a massive compensation payment. Are you sure you can afford it?
Li Yeming didn't think as much as Ye Qing did. When she heard Ye Qing say that terminating the contract would require so much effort, Li Yeming was surprised. After all, the current clothing industry was actually unfamiliar to her; her forte was simply making clothes.
However, in today's market, even the best wine needs advertising.
Although surprised, Li Yeming didn't think it was a big deal: "The money can be raised by pooling our resources."
Ye Qing said, "It might not be that easy to raise the money. If you're determined to terminate the contract, then the penalty for breach of contract won't be as simple as 100,000 or 200,000."
"So many?" Li Yeming was extremely surprised again.
Blinking, Ye Qing nodded: "The money is definitely not small. Or is it that you, Sister Li, were actually prepared for the breach of contract fee? Yang Zi doesn't have the money and can't come up with that much. If she could, she probably wouldn't have come to you this time. So it must be Jiang Xinya. Is Jiang Xinya helping you get such a large amount of breach of contract fee?"
"I'd be grateful she didn't even think about taking my money, how could she give me money... " Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Li Yeming subconsciously followed her lead, but realized halfway through that he had let something slip, so he quickly swallowed the rest of his words, guiltily averting his gaze and not daring to look at Ye Qing again.
