Ye Qing thought that Liu Wei must be so familiar with the designer's habits.
Liu Wei was probably not being used; she was likely willingly colluding with Ye Shuang and her group.
However, the backstage area of a press conference isn't easily accessible to the general public in case of emergencies. Models could do it, but under such pressure, they probably wouldn't have had time to do so much. Although it might seem like just putting a sewing kit in a pocket, each model had to handle several outfits in a rush...
So, the people who can get into the backstage area... are they staff members of the Nancheng Huamao Hotel?
This is the real issue with Quan Zhen.
Asking Kwon Jin directly would only be pointless and she would deny it. The best approach is to find solid evidence first.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing asked Xu Xiaoyue, "Have you talked to the designer about this?"
"I did say that. It's fortunate that you reminded me, otherwise I might have just taken out the needle or something. I was afraid that if I explained it clearly in the end, I would have called the designer when I realized there was a problem."
Ye Qing thought that this was the best approach, to have the designer go find Quan Zhen!
However, as mentioned before, there must be solid evidence proving that the people at Huamao Hotel tampered with the property.
Xi Quan could help with this, but considering how much worse Xi Quan had become today, Ye Qing felt it wouldn't be worth it to go to him. She needed to think carefully about who to turn to instead.
Ye Qing didn't tell Xiao Yue any more details, because Liu Wei had finished talking with her fellow villager and returned to her dormitory.
Ye Qing didn't speak to Liu Wei. Xu Xiaoyue was a little angry about what Liu Wei had done to Ye Qing and wanted to argue with Liu Wei, but Ye Qing stopped her and signaled Xu Xiaoyue to calm down.
At Ye Qing's urging, Xu Xiaoyue refrained from arguing with Liu Wei.
The next day was Sunday, and with all the commotion from the previous day, Ye Qing didn't wake up according to her usual biological clock in the morning. In the end, she was woken up by Xu Xiaoyue.
"Get up quickly, my uncle has paged me several times."
"What?" Ye Qing rubbed his eyes, still half asleep, and looked at Xu Xiaoyue in confusion.
Xu Xiaoyue handed the pager to Ye Qing, letting her see the messages. Ye Qing, squinting her sleepy eyes, saw several identical messages on Xu Xiaoyue's pager and belatedly realized what was happening, instantly becoming much more awake.
Ye Qing sat up with a jolt, rubbed her eyes, and said, "I'll get up and wash up right away."
Ye Qing glanced at Xu Xiaoyue and saw that she had finished washing up. He said, "Wait for me, I'll be right there."
After Ye Qing finished washing up, she left with Xu Xiaoyue. Xu Xiaoyue relayed a message from the uncle who had shown them the house that day, asking Xu Xiaoyue to tell Ye Qing to come over today if she had made up her mind to buy the house.
As Ye Qing left the dormitory, she couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect the housing issue to be resolved so quickly."
Xu Xiaoyue said, "If it's really settled, you don't need to worry."
It was indeed a good thing, but just as Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue were rushing to the knitting factory, they ran into Xi Yue at the school gate.
Ye Qing thought Xi Yue was still at Sister Zhang's shop getting her clothes made, so she said goodbye and was about to leave when Xi Yue said, "Ye Qing, I came here specifically to see you."
"Looking for me?" Ye Qing was surprised: "But I'm here..."
Xi Yue said, "You have something to do, right? If it's convenient, I can drive you there. I'm driving, and I'll explain to you in detail why I came to see you on the way."
Xi Yue drove here, so if she gave him a ride, he wouldn't have to take the bus and it would be faster. Ye Qing thought about it and nodded.
After telling Xi Yue where she was going, Ye Qing asked her what she wanted to see him about.
Xi Yue said, "I really liked the dress you wore at yesterday's press conference. Didn't you say you made it yourself? Could you design a few for me?"
Yesterday, Xi Yue did express her liking for Ye Qing's clothes, but Ye Qing forgot about it after Xi Quan interrupted her.
Hearing Xi Yue say this now, Ye Qing was happy. After all, it's always exciting to have one's work recognized.
However, Ye Qing was not blindly happy: "I made those clothes for yesterday's press conference. After all, you have to dress a little more formally for that kind of occasion. But to be honest, the style of the clothes may be nice, but since I made them myself, the workmanship is not very good. Of course, it's no problem for me to design them for you, but after the design is done, you'd better have someone else make them for you."
Xi Yue didn't expect Ye Qing to say that. "Ye Qing, you studied design, and now you've designed it. What if I take your drawings to someone else to make it? What if they like the design and mass-produce it? How much money will you lose then?"
Ye Qing was grateful that Xi Yue was thinking of her like this. She said, "I understand what you mean, but even if you don't mind my workmanship, once I make it, everyone will think it looks good, and there will definitely be a lot of people following suit and mass-producing it."
At this point, although designers don't want others to copy their designs, piracy is hard to prevent. As a design student, Ye Qing's job is to prevent her original designs from being copied verbatim.
Whether clothes are copied after they are designed and made is something that cannot be completely prevented, but it seems that no one has made a special effort to do so.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue couldn't help but shake her head and click her tongue: "Your idea won't work, Ye Qing. Have you thought about what you plan to do after graduation? Go to a garment factory?"
Ye Qing was stunned by Xi Yue's caring question. She was not stunned because she hadn't thought of it, but because of Xi Yue's sudden earnestness.
Because they didn't seem to be familiar enough to communicate.
Just as Ye Qing was surprised by Xi Yue's attitude, Xu Xiaoyue answered the question for Ye Qing: "Ye Qing is planning to go down the route of very fashionable haute couture in the future. It seems that some very talented designers from other countries have their own studios or something, like that."
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, Xi Yue excitedly pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned to look at Ye Qing sitting in the back seat: "Is what your friend said true?"
Ye Qing was still a little uncomfortable with Xi Yue's attitude, but she nodded: "We do have this plan, but it's not something that can be done just because it's said to be possible."
“I’ll help you. I used to go to Sister Zhang’s shop. Besides liking her clothes, I was also thinking of collaborating with her to set up a high-end custom-made studio. But she insists on sticking to her little tailor shop. Ye Qing, what do you think?”
This was absolutely a windfall for Ye Qing.
However, Ye Qing was a little incredulous and didn't quite understand why Xi Yue was helping him so much: "Why are you suddenly so interested in this?"
