"Things change over time," Li Yeming said slowly after a long pause, feeling quite embarrassed by Xi Yue's words.
Xi Yue sneered: "You've said everything, huh?"
Li Yeming's face turned extremely awkward from Xi Yue's mocking tone, but he couldn't say anything because what Xi Yue said was true.
“Xi Yue, I know what I say now is meaningless… but you should know how much this shop means to me, so I’ll try to persuade Jiang Xinya to order more. So, could you talk to Ye Qing about it…?”
"Can you persuade Jiang Xinya?" Xi Yue asked Li Yeming in return.
Li Yeming was taken aback by Xi Yue's words. He looked at Xi Yue awkwardly and wanted to continue speaking, but Xi Yue had already turned around and was about to leave.
Standing there watching Xi Yue's retreating figure, Li Yeming hesitated.
She knew that the current situation was largely due to her own personality, but things had already come to this point, and Li Yeming had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to find a solution.
She sighed, turned around, and went into the store.
After Xi Yue left, she thought of calling Ye Qing to ask what Ye Qing was planning to do, but then she thought that Ye Qing should still be on the road and hadn't gone home yet, so she gave up.
Ye Qing was indeed on her way, but she wasn't as indifferent as she had been when facing Jiang Xinya.
Jiang Xinya probably wouldn't go to find Xu Ying herself, so Yang Zi must have made a significant decision behind the scenes.
Therefore, Ye Qing thought that Yang Zi's side should not be underestimated.
However, if Ye Qing were to go to Yang Zi now, it would be tantamount to giving Yang Zi an opportunity to be arrogant, and Ye Qing would absolutely not give her such an opportunity.
However, we cannot ignore what Jiang Xinya said.
After much thought, Ye Qing decided to start with Jiang Xinya, but Li Yeming was clearly not a good choice, so Dalson became Ye Qing's first choice.
Ye Qing called Dalson and asked to meet him.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Qing went straight to the point about why he wanted to see Dalson: "Why is Jiang Xinya still at your magazine? Is she still the editor-in-chief?"
Since it was Dalson who told Ye Qing about Jiang Xinya's grandmother's situation, Ye Qing's direct question to Dalson didn't surprise him too much. He shrugged, took a sip of his coffee, and then slowly said, "I can't do anything about it. Jiang Xinya has become a tool in the power struggle at headquarters. When she leaves the magazine is not up to me."
Looking at the helpless Dalson, Ye Qing asked, "But didn't you say that the higher-ups at headquarters in Nancheng wanted you to get rid of Jiang Xinya?"
“That was how it was back then, but we didn’t know Jiang Xinya had a grandmother. Now that we know, things are naturally different.” Dalson also seemed quite agitated.
Ye Qing could understand his attitude. In a sense, Dalson was a professional designer who only focused on his profession. He was not good at the backstabbing and intrigue in the workplace. He was being forced into this role.
Ye Qing could understand the magazine headquarters' intentions. After all, everyone was thinking about inheriting the estate, so keeping Jiang Xinya, who was not competent to be the editor-in-chief, in such a position was just waiting to find fault with Jiang Xinya and then make trouble for Jiang Xinya's grandmother.
In fact, according to Ye Qing's opinion, it would be better for Jiang Xinya to resign now. After all, she is now an outsider, and an outsider who gets involved in someone else's property dispute will definitely be a thorn in someone's side.
However, Jiang Xinya did not resign. Why was she still in the position of editor-in-chief? Ye Qing did not know what she was thinking.
Ye Qing originally planned to start with the magazine, keeping Jiang Xin busy with magazine matters so that she wouldn't have the time or inclination to pay attention to Li Yeming's trademark.
But if he were to join forces with Dalson to drive Jiang Xinya out of the magazine, it would be tantamount to indirectly getting involved in the power struggle among the magazine's higher-ups. As for Dalson, he was already an employee of the magazine, so there shouldn't be any problem.
But Ye Qing is ultimately an outsider, and it's definitely inappropriate for him to get involved in those things.
Moreover, Taizi Fashion is part of the fashion industry and will more or less have to collaborate with magazines in the future, so taking sides now is a big no-no.
So no matter how she thought about it, it didn't seem right, and Ye Qing stopped talking about it and started chatting with Dalson about other things.
After separating from Dalson, Ye Qing realized that Yang Zi was still the key. Otherwise, given Jiang Xinya's inability to bear the grievances and her awkward status, she might have resigned from the magazine long ago. The reason she hasn't resigned yet is undoubtedly because Yang Zi played a certain role behind Jiang Xinya.
When Xi Quan returned home that evening, he saw Ye Qing looking uneasy and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to tell her about Xu Ying, but he hesitated and swallowed his words, only mentioning Jiang Xinya instead.
When Xi Quan heard Ye Qing say that she had met Dalson, his expression visibly changed.
However, Ye Qing didn't notice and was still talking about meeting with Dalson. Only after she finished did she belatedly realize that Xi Quan seemed a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qing asked.
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing expressionlessly and shook his head: "It's nothing."
Despite having something on her mind, Ye Qing said nothing was wrong. She raised her hand and put it on Xi Quan's shoulder, looking up at him.
Ye Qing had originally intended to put her arms around Xi Quan's neck, but as her belly grew bigger day by day, even though she was standing in front of Xi Quan, her large belly made it difficult for her arms to reach, so she could only put her arms around Xi Quan's shoulders. "Are you jealous?"
First, she asked Xi Quan with a smile, then Ye Qing tilted her head, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed Xi Quan's cheek: "Everyone says that Dalson and I are just friends."
Ye Qing said almost everything without saying a word, so what could Xi Quan say?
Although he was indeed a little jealous, seeing Ye Qing so actively trying to coax him, Xi Quan felt all the sourness in his heart was neutralized. He sighed softly, pinched Ye Qing's nose, feeling helpless but not unhappy: "You, you've completely got me under your thumb, haven't you? You know I can't do anything about you! You know Dalson has other feelings for you, yet you still meet with him."
"Even now, I'm still a beauty in your eyes." Ye Qing looked down at her stomach, smiled at Xi Quan, and then changed the subject: "I have something to discuss with Dalson."
Although Ye Qing hadn't explained what he meant by looking for Dalson, Xi Quan could guess the gist of it. He said something as if nothing had happened, and then stared intently at Ye Qing.
