"Ye Qing? What a coincidence! I thought you were neglecting everything these days. It's been a few months, and your belly is noticeably bigger."
Ye Qing looked at Ye Shuang and the magazine staff who were warmly greeting her: "Six months, almost seven months, your belly is getting bigger and bigger every day, like it's being inflated."
Seeing Ye Shuang and Ye Qing wasn't surprising; what was surprising were the people from the magazine.
Because the magazine is the one edited by Jiang Xinya.
Ye Qing greeted them with a smile and exchanged pleasantries. At the same time, she glanced around the store. There were customers looking at clothes, as well as mannequins, and camera equipment was clearly visible, indicating that people were taking photos in the store.
Ye Qing doesn't mind being photographed in the store; it's a good opportunity for self-promotion. But as I said before, what about the magazine that Jiang Xinya is the editor-in-chief of?
Even if Jiang Xinya has resigned now at her grandmother's behest, this filming wouldn't have been just arranged. Usually, such filming is arranged well in advance. Since it was arranged well in advance, it means it was when Jiang Xinya was the editor-in-chief. Is Jiang Xinya being so generous as to give herself free advertising?!
They were all working professionals, and although Ye Qing was exchanging pleasantries with Ye Shuang and the others, she didn't hide her surprise, so they could all see that Ye Qing had many questions.
Ye Shuang spoke first: "It's strange, isn't it? To be honest, I'm also very surprised. When I received the invitation that the magazine was looking for our company's models to come here for a photoshoot, I was even more surprised than you. I was wondering why their editor-in-chief, who seemed to be ready to cut ties with you forever, was now coming to your shop."
Hearing this, Ye Qing thought that the reason Ye Shuang also had feelings towards Jiang Xinya in her words was probably because she also knew about Jiang Xinya's situation.
That's normal, after all, they're all in the fashion industry. And before Ye Qing came, Ye Shuang had talked with the magazine staff for a long time, so she must know about Jiang Xinya and a lot of gossip that Ye Qing didn't know.
Therefore, Ye Qing was not surprised by Ye Shuang's words. Following Ye Shuang's words, Ye Qing looked at the person in charge of coordinating this photoshoot at the magazine.
The other person pursed their lips and said, "Our editor-in-chief didn't want to come, but there's nothing we can do. The magazine needs to survive, and the needs of our readers are the priority."
At this point, the other party winked at Ye Qing: "President Ye, your store is now a fashion landmark. After you appeared on the cover of our inaugural issue, many people asked you where your store is located, and some even called to ask where the clothes our models wore during the photoshoot were sold."
At that time, the internet had not yet emerged, and traditional media, such as magazines, generally relied on reader letters or reader hotlines to build a bridge between themselves and their readers.
Although Ye Qing took some photos in this store for her cover shoot, the flagship store was only under renovation and had not yet opened. When the magazine was published, the publisher did not know whether everything was ready for opening. Therefore, they only mentioned the brand "Qingye" and did not mention the specific address.
According to the magazine publisher, they will be including the address of the flagship store in the magazine this time.
Moreover, the magazine was very generous, allowing the model to shoot almost all of their current main designs.
This was a free publicity opportunity for Ye Qing, and she had no reason to refuse it. Besides, such good things are often hard to come by.
Ye Qing was in a very good mood because her relationship with the magazine was no longer the same as before when she needed them. Although Ye Qing had acted very strongly back then, she was also a little uneasy, afraid that the magazine would really ignore her. After all, compared to the magazine's reputation, her own brand was still very immature.
The current situation is that major magazines need her fledgling brand to boost their sales; the demand has changed, so how could Ye Qing not be happy?
The models hadn't finished shooting yet, and the studio staff were tidying up their clothes. The editor from the magazine wasn't too busy, since he wasn't a photojournalist, so he chatted with Ye Qing and Ye Shuang.
As the conversation drifted, the topic naturally turned to Jiang Xinya. Ye Qing asked the magazine staff if Jiang Xinya had resigned. The magazine editor pursed his lips again, his expression hard to describe.
Ye Qing then realized that Jiang Xinya had not only not resigned, but also had no intention of resigning.
At first, Ye Shuang might not have been quite clear on what was going on, but after chatting with the magazine editor and hearing Ye Qing's questions, Ye Shuang roughly understood the whole story. She asked the editor, "Wouldn't it be awkward not to resign?"
"How could I, an employee, know whether it's embarrassing or not? But now our boss is acting out of character; he doesn't always find fault with the editor-in-chief anymore."
"Boss? That foreigner?" Ye Shuang asked. Seeing the other party nod, Ye Shuang glanced at Ye Qing. Ye Shuang knew that Ye Qing knew Dalson and had a good relationship with him.
Ye Qing knew, of course, that Ye Shuang was watching her, and she also knew why she was watching her, but Ye Qing didn't care. This matter was beyond her control anyway, since Jiang Xinya's matter was ultimately the magazine's business.
However, since they all knew that they knew Dalson and had a good relationship with him, the so-called high-society dramas at the magazine headquarters seemed a bit distant to them at the moment.
The gossip in front of us seems to be more attractive.
So Ye Qing knew why Ye Shuang and the editor were looking at him; they were wondering if it had anything to do with him, since Jiang Xinya had caused a huge embarrassment at Taizi Fashion.
However, Ye Qing wouldn't let them focus on her. Following Ye Shuang's words, she said, "Awkwardness is all about how thick-skinned you are. There's a saying that goes, 'As long as I'm not embarrassed, you're the ones who are embarrassed.' Jiang Xinya probably has that mindset right now. She acts very calmly, so others will only think about whether she's embarrassed or not when they see her."
After Ye Qing finished speaking, Ye Shuang and the editor both smiled, and the editor pointed at Ye Shuang, implying that Ye Shuang had asked the question earlier.
Ye Shuang also considered the context of Ye Qing's words, gave Ye Qing a thumbs up, and thought Ye Qing's summary was brilliant. Wasn't that exactly Jiang Xinya's mindset right now?
After Ye Qing subtly changed the subject, Ye Shuang and the magazine editors stopped dwelling on the relationship between Ye Qing and Dalson.
Ye Qing, holding her water glass, listened with a smile as Ye Shuang and the editor chatted.
Although she was listening, Ye Qing was also thinking about Jiang Xinya. She hadn't resigned and didn't plan to, which Ye Qing could understand. Her grandmother didn't even acknowledge her anymore because of money, so she didn't need to care about her grandmother.
As for why Dalson wasn't in such a hurry to get rid of Jiang Xinya from the magazine, it's probably because after learning about Jiang Xinya's background, she also sided with their company and with Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother's stepchildren.
Although Ye Qing knew Dalson, this didn't really concern him. What Ye Qing was thinking was that Jiang Xinya's attitude was clearly different from Li Yeming's. So, did Li Yeming still want to share the property with Jiang Xinya? This was what was truly related to Ye Qing's personal interests.
