Ye Qing stood outside Li Yeming's office, paused for a moment, glanced at the embarrassed staff member from Li Yeming's studio passing by, and pulled the person aside to ask, "What's going on?"
The other person gave an awkward smirk: "You should ask them yourself."
Seeing that he couldn't get any answers, Ye Qing felt that something was wrong, otherwise the people in the studio wouldn't have been so secretive.
After standing still for a moment to compose himself, Ye Qing finally lifted his leg and walked towards Li Yeming's office.
Just as Ye Qing reached the office and was about to knock, the door was pulled open from the inside. Startled, Ye Qing quickly dodged to the side, otherwise, if he had been bumped into, it would have been a big problem.
Xi Yue came out from inside. She was initially furious, but when she saw Ye Qing, she broke out in a cold sweat. Forgetting her anger, she grabbed Ye Qing and asked, "Are you alright? Did I run into you?"
Ye Qing waved her hand: "I'm fine."
As Ye Qing spoke, he glanced behind Xi Yue and looked at her questioningly, as if to ask, "What's wrong?"
Because of Ye Qing's gaze, Xi Yue's anger surged again. She sighed deeply and pulled Ye Qing towards her office: "Let's talk in my office."
Although Li Yeming had called her to come, Ye Qing stood at the door of Li Yeming's office and saw him sitting there sighing and looking very troubled. Seeing Xi Yue's angry expression, Ye Qing decided to go to Xi Yue's office first.
Before Ye Qing could even sit down after closing the door, he asked Xi Yue, "What happened?"
"Do you know why Li Yeming called you?" Xi Yue said, still angry.
Ye Qing shook her head: "I don't know."
"She didn't want Jiang Xinya to share the property with her before, but now she's suddenly changed her mind and feels sorry for Jiang Xinya, so she's going to share the property with her!" Xi Yue said indignantly.
Ye Qing was astonished upon hearing this: "What?"
Ye Qing actually understood, but she just couldn't quite believe it. She couldn't believe that Li Yeming was so casual!
If Li Yeming had any property, that would be one thing, but all of Li Yeming's assets are trademarks; her own money is far from enough to qualify her for a share of the property.
Seeing Xi Yue nodding indignantly at him, Ye Qing knew that Li Yeming was probably not joking, but this was too childish and inconsistent.
Ye Qing finally understood why Xi Yue was so angry. Anyone would be angry in this situation. So Ye Qing stopped listening to what Xi Yue was saying and turned to walk out to find Li Yeming.
Xi Yue was still so angry that she spun around in her office with her hands on her hips. When she saw Ye Qing leave, she quickly followed. It wasn't that she was worried that Ye Qing couldn't win an argument with Li Yeming, but she was afraid that Ye Qing would get so angry with Li Yeming that she might suffer a serious injury.
When Ye Qing arrived at Li Yeming's office, she didn't knock. She simply pushed open the door, which wasn't closed properly to begin with. Seeing that Li Yeming was still sighing as she had seen him earlier, Ye Qing spoke directly: "Xi Yue told me the gist of it. I won't take it at face value. You were the one who called me, so now tell me what you really think."
Li Yeming glanced at Xi Yue, who followed Ye Qing in, paused for a moment, and said, "I just felt sorry for Jiang Xinya, and since I'm her elder, I figured I should help her in any way I can. I used to think that since she has her grandmother, I wouldn't need to care about her, but now I hear that her grandmother doesn't seem to be planning to acknowledge her because of genetics, so..."
Jiang Xinya only found out about this yesterday, and now Li Yeming knows, so it's obvious that Jiang Xinya told him.
Jiang Xinya didn't know Li Yeming at all before, so it was obviously Yang Zi who gave Li Yeming the idea.
It has to be said that Yang Zi, being Li Yeming's junior, has a very accurate grasp of Li Yeming's thoughts.
Ye Qing tried to calm herself down: "Originally, this was your family matter, and I had no right to speak on it. But Sister Li, your attitude is affecting me now, so I have to state my position. I have no problem with you giving Jiang Xinya your own money, but it's impossible for Jiang Xinya to be involved in your studio."
Li Yeming had a pretty good idea of what Ye Qing would say, and she seemed to have come prepared: "Although my studio has signed a contract with Zitai, there's no need for Zitai Fashion to be so sensitive about having an extra staff member in the studio."
Ye Qing coldly retorted, "You're not terminating the contract? I remember last time we talked about terminating the contract, and your attitude was very firm."
Li Yeming was speechless at Ye Qing's question; it was indeed a bit of a slap in the face.
Seeing Li Yeming's embarrassed expression, Ye Qing narrowed her eyes: "Are you really just having Jiang Xinya work in your studio?"
“This…” Li Yeming hesitated for a moment and said, “Jiang Xinya and I are related after all, and strictly speaking, she is also one of my father’s heirs, so it shouldn’t be possible for her to just be an ordinary employee.”
Hearing Li Yeming say this, Ye Qing didn't ask any further questions. Ye Qing said directly, "Didn't you want to terminate your contract with Zitai Fashion before? Then terminate the contract."
Li Yeming never expected that Ye Qing would agree to terminate the contract.
She instinctively grabbed Ye Qing: "Why go to such extremes? There's a saying, 'Times change.' Now..."
Not to mention Ye Qing was angry, even Xi Yue, who was listening nearby, was furious. Her anger hadn't subsided, and now hearing Li Yeming say something like "times have changed," she couldn't hold back any longer. Before Li Yeming could finish speaking, Xi Yue angrily interrupted her:
"Sister Li, to be honest, I really don't want to be so harsh, but you... you're not young anymore, you're old enough to be my and Ye Qing's mother, but can you please stop being so childish and willful? When your studio was struggling, Ye Qing and I helped you. Of course, I wasn't involved in the management in the early stages, so I won't ask you to think about me. Let's just talk about Ye Qing..."
Back then, you asked Ye Qing for help with your so-called heirloom, fully hand-embroidered dress. Ye Qing helped you, but she also completely offended Yang Zi. Yang Zi still holds a grudge against Ye Qing. Because of Yang Zi's resentment, Ye Qing, who is five or six months pregnant, still has to run around every day dealing with these trivial matters. She doesn't even go to her own studio anymore, but you still have to worry about her.
Also, the model competition sponsored by the brand Rangjin was a way for you to gain fame. Do you know how much it cost back then? I won't go into those details.
But now that you've reaped the benefits, forget what others did for you in the first place. If Jiang Xinya were content with just finding a job to support herself, that would be one thing, but is that what she is?
She and Ye Qing had a past conflict, and you weren't close before, but now she seems to know why you'd be soft-hearted. It's obvious that Yang Zi is behind her actions; I can see that, can't you? Or are you and Yang Zi actually in cahoots from the beginning, now working together from the inside out?
