"Aren't you worried at all?" Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan's calm and composed demeanor and couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.
"What are you worried about?" Xi Quan asked, seemingly not understanding what Ye Qing was saying.
Ye Qing had assumed Xi Quan was confident, but hearing his question made her feel like he hadn't listened to her at all, so she became a little unhappy: "You didn't hear any of what I just said. I said that Liu Yuliang gave his shares in Zitai Fashion to his mother."
Xi Quan wasn't actually unaware of what Ye Qing had said, but rather he didn't want to tell Ye Qing. After all, when Ye Qing initially suggested giving the shares of Zitai Fashion to Liu Yuliang, it was out of consideration for Xu Xiaoyue. However, giving them directly to Xu Xiaoyue didn't seem to be very useful, so he gave them to Liu Yuliang instead.
However, Xi Quan included some so-called restrictions in the share transfer contract, fearing that Ye Qing would be angry if she found out, since Ye Qing's original intention was to give the shares to Xu Xiaoyue.
But seeing that Ye Qing seemed angry, Xi Quan sighed softly, regardless of whether Ye Qing was angry or not, "He can't give it to me."
"Can't give it to me?" Ye Qing was quite surprised by Xi Quan's words. She glanced at Xi Quan and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
Xi Quan said, "There were some restrictive clauses in the transfer contract given to Liu Yuliang, which meant that the shares of Zitai Fashion in his hands could not be traded at will in the future. Even if they were transferred, they could only be transferred to Xu Xiaoyue. Moreover, he would not have any voting rights on the board of directors, and could only receive dividends."
After listening to Xi Quan's explanation, Ye Qing stared at him for a long time, never expecting that Xi Quan had left so many tricks up his sleeve when it was just a transfer contract.
Seeing Ye Qing's surprised and astonished expression, Xi Quan, fearing that Ye Qing would be angry, explained, "I didn't expect things to turn out this way back then, but it was just in case, because Yang Zi was unwilling to accept it."
Moreover, when I initially proposed transferring the shares to Liu Yuliang, he refused, feeling that he had done what he should have done. He also suggested not having voting rights on the board of directors, saying he was afraid that the veterans from before Zitai Fashion would feel uncomfortable.
Since you and I already hold more than half of the shares, adding Liu Yuliang would easily be seen as us excluding the veterans, because Liu Yuliang is one of our people, which is a well-known fact.
Regardless of whether Liu Yuliang's statement was sincere, polite, or had other motives, from our perspective, it was advantageous to us. Therefore, I had my lawyer include restrictive conditions in the contract draft.
After hearing Xi Quan's explanation, Ye Qing was very puzzled: "If that's the case, then why did Liu Yuliang give the shares back to his mother?"
"So I think it's probably impossible. It's probably just something Liu Yuliang did to appease his mother, since she probably doesn't know about the contractual restrictions." So from the beginning, when Xi Quan heard Ye Qing mention this, he wasn't too worried.
After processing what Xi Quan had said, Ye Qing realized that he had been too naive; Xi Quan was actually so shrewd and resourceful.
However, after processing all of this, Ye Qing belatedly realized: "Wait a minute, I asked you to go and test Liu Yuliang's attitude towards his mother. The shares were just one thing I was worried about. Why are you subtly changing your mind?"
Seeing his wife's anxious expression, Xi Quan threw the question to Ye Qing: "Tell me, what if Xu Xiaoyue and Liu Yuliang really can't make ends meet because of Liu Yuliang's mother?"
“Although the general opinion is to advise reconciliation rather than separation, but…” Ye Qing hesitated for a moment before speaking, “If things really can’t go on, Xiaoyue doesn’t need to make things difficult for herself.”
In fact, if Ye Qing herself encountered such a problem, she probably wouldn't have wronged herself.
Ye Qing's willingness to stand up for herself might stem from her confrontation with those who make things difficult for her, letting them know that she is not someone to be trifled with.
If it were Xu Xiaoyue, Ye Qing felt that Xu Xiaoyue might also confront Liu Yuliang's mother in the same way, but this would also depend on Liu Yuliang's attitude.
Ye Qing wouldn't separate from Xi Quan in such a situation because she knows Xi Quan will definitely be on her side.
If Liu Yuliang ultimately sides with his mother, Ye Qing might agree with Xu Xiaoyue's decision to divorce.
Xi Quan saw through Ye Qing's thoughts and said, "If Liu Yuliang is on Xu Xiaoyue's side, and the two of them have a good relationship, we are ultimately outsiders and it's not appropriate for us to say anything. But if Liu Yuliang protects his mother, then Xu Xiaoyue won't suffer any losses after the divorce. Putting aside everything else, if they divorce, the shares of Zitai Fashion will go to Xu Xiaoyue, so at least she won't lose both her money and her lover."
The contract for the initial share transfer included restrictive clauses that specifically addressed what would happen if Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue got married, and what would happen if they divorced after marriage.
So after Xi Quan told Ye Qing all the restrictions on the original transfer contract, Ye Qing was still a little worried about Xu Xiaoyue's married life. But as Xi Quan said, even the best of friends are still outsiders, and it's really not appropriate to say too much about other people's marital affairs. If Xu Xiaoyue and Liu Yuliang hadn't gotten married yet, it would have been fine, but now that they're married, and it involves Liu Yuliang's mother, Ye Qing really couldn't say anything.
For the time being, Ye Qing couldn't do anything about Xu Xiaoyue's side, so he focused his attention on Jiang Xinya.
As her belly grew bigger day by day, and the time to give birth was not far off, Ye Qing wanted to resolve all these troublesome issues before giving birth, so she arranged to meet with Dalson the next day.
"How have you been lately?" Ye Qing asked Dalson familiarly.
Dalson shrugged. "As you can see, it's not too bad. After all, the sales of the magazine's inaugural issue were quite good. But as you know, I came to South City not only to increase the magazine's sales, but also to be given other tasks, and these other tasks are giving me a real headache."
Ye Qing listened quietly to Dalson's complaints without speaking immediately.
Dalson had no friends in Nancheng and had a lot of troubles. When he met Ye Qing, he told her everything: "Actually, it's not impossible for me to fire Jiang Xinya instead of following the higher-ups' requirements, but the key is that Jiang Xinya has to be a smart person. Obviously, Jiang Xinya is not. So now I sincerely don't want to be colleagues with Jiang Xinya."
The inaugural issue of the magazine has already been released, so it's obvious that the next step is to work on the selection of topics, cover, and other things for the next issue. Judging from Dalson's attitude, Ye Qing could tell that Jiang Xinya estimated that the handling of the cover selection and other matters for the new issue would be similar to that of the inaugural issue.
The cover wasn't her, and Jiang Xinya wasn't yet adept at handling these matters, clearly indicating she was somewhat incompetent.
Ye Qing tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said calmly, "Delson, there's a saying in our country: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.'"
"so what?"
