Yang Zi never expected Ye Qing to speak up at this moment, and to ask her such a question.
The question itself wasn't difficult to answer, but because she didn't know what Ye Qing meant, Yang Zi hesitated, wondering how to respond.
The board members didn't quite understand what Ye Qing meant by that.
However, although they didn't know the details, they felt that Liu Yuliang's handling of the shares was a rare opportunity for them to attack Ye Qing and Xi Quan, so they didn't want to give it up.
So one of the directors spoke up before Ye Qing could: "Ye Qing, no matter what Yang Zi's reasons are, Liu Yuliang, as the company's general manager, is doing the wrong thing in handling such an important matter as shares."
Ye Qing nodded: "There are indeed some issues, but I think that's always an internal matter for our company. Now that Ms. Yang is no longer with Taizi Fashion, it might be inappropriate for her to attend our company's board meeting."
Another director spoke up: "That's true, but isn't Jiang Xinya involved? Isn't it said that Jiang Xinya and Li Yeming are blood relatives? As the person in charge of a sub-brand of Zitai Fashion, everything related to Jin's interests is naturally related to us."
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at the board members with an expression that said, "You're all too naive."
The director was getting a little angry at Ye Qing's gaze and was about to make things difficult for her when Xi Quan spoke up at the right moment, calmly recounting the history between Jiang Xinya and the magazine.
It was like a story being told, and everyone except Yang Zi listened with great interest.
Yang Zi wanted to be happy and proud, but she couldn't be happy when she heard Xi Quan talk about Jiang Xinya's background. It wasn't because Xi Quan knew about Jiang Xinya's background, but because Xi Quan's words proved that he knew Jiang Xinya's situation was actually not good.
Therefore, Yang Zi was very afraid of messing things up.
Xi Quan glanced indifferently at Yang Zi, then his sharp gaze swept over Director He Wei one by one.
After turning his gaze away, Xi Quan changed the subject, his tone becoming serious and aloof, a far cry from his earlier eloquent recounting of Jiang Xinya's background.
After calmly explaining Jiang Xinya's grandmother's current situation at the magazine, Xi Quan asked the directors present, "If you were directors at the magazine's headquarters, would you want all of the founder's shares to fall into the hands of Jiang Xinya's grandmother?"
If it falls into the hands of Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother, it means that Jiang Xinya will also have the opportunity to become the heir of the magazine.
Putting aside the so-called discrimination, from a purely pragmatic perspective, Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother's foreign stepchildren certainly wouldn't want this situation to happen.
After Xi Quan finished speaking, the directors looked at each other and whispered among themselves. Xi Quan then pressed on, saying, "I don't think I need to elaborate on the magazine's status in the fashion industry. After all, everyone here is a professional in this field and more experienced than I am. So please think about what we should do."
After speaking, Xi Quan looked at Ye Qing.
Noticing Xi Quan's gaze, Ye Qing knew it was her turn to speak: "If we don't help Jiang Xinya, the magazine might not have a good impression of us if they know our stance, but they won't make things difficult for us either."
However, if we help Jiang Xinya, we will miss out on the three major international fashion weeks in the future.
Of course, Taizi Fashion has never been to Fashion Week, but our current business model is perfect for us to go to Fashion Week to advertise ourselves. Jiang Xinya's grandmother's foreign husband's family has a very powerful position in the fashion world.
Having said that, everyone on the board knew what to do!
Although the directors had not yet expressed their opinions, their attitudes were evident from their expressions. Yang Zi was somewhat unwilling and was about to speak when the director who had previously urged her to hold a board meeting stopped her, saying, "Yang Zi, you are no longer with Taizi Fashion, so don't always try to interfere in our company's affairs."
"I……"
The other party didn't give Yang Zi a chance to speak at all: "You are the founder of Zitai Fashion, there's nothing to question about that, no one has ever denied it. Zitai Fashion did indeed have its glory days under your management, but then it declined to the point that we were all about to be laid off. Now that it's finally starting to recover and making money, you shouldn't be meddling in this mess."
Yang Zi was furious when she realized she was the outsider. However, she directed her anger at Ye Qing and Xi Quan, and sneered, "You all think it's impossible for Jiang Xinya to inherit the estate. Let me ask you, what if Jiang Xinya does inherit the estate? You know she is one of her grandmother's heirs."
So the shareholders turned their attention back to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing chuckled: "When Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother married her current foreign husband, they signed an agreement. Otherwise, if Jiang Xinya could help her grandmother in the fight for the inheritance, why would she have gone back to Nancheng? It's easy to calculate which is more money, her grandmother's inheritance or all the profits from the Jin brand, right?"
Ye Qing paused for a moment, then deliberately looked towards the conference room door: "And why is Jiang Xinya taking so long just to answer a phone call?"
As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Jiang Xinya rushed in with her phone in hand, grabbed her bag from the chair she had just been sitting on, and started to walk out.
Yang Zi's seat was right next to Jiang Xinya's. Others might not be able to see Jiang Xinya's face clearly, but Yang Zi could. Jiang Xinya looked flustered and angry. Yang Zi anxiously grabbed Jiang Xinya and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xinya tried to shake Yang Zi off, but couldn't. She wanted to yell at Yang Zi, but remembering that they were still in the conference room, she swallowed her words for the time being.
But Yang Zi still wouldn't let go of her. Jiang Xinya was already flustered, and now that Yang Zi was pulling her like this, she controlled her voice and gritted her teeth as she said to Yang Zi, "Let go of me. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you right now."
"How can you say that's nonsense? Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you?" Yang Zi glanced at the people around her without changing her expression, and then lowered her voice to yell at Jiang Xinya.
Their voices weren't loud, but because of their actions, everyone in the conference room turned to them, and it was extremely quiet. So even though the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, they could still be heard.
Taking the opportunity, Ye Qing asked the question that everyone was asking: "Editor-in-Chief Jiang, what Sister Yang said actually makes sense. She came here today clearly for your sake. We haven't even come up with a solution yet, and you've already left in a hurry. What are we supposed to do? We're not without problems either; we all have a lot of things to do. It doesn't seem right for you to not say a word now, does it? You still need to be polite; that's the most basic principle of being a person."
