Ye Shuang looked at Ye Qing and said, "Have you forgotten Jiang Xinya's stepmother?"
Her words immediately reminded Ye Qing of what she had talked about with Ye Shuang last time. Ye Qing couldn't say that she had forgotten Jiang Xinya's stepmother, she just hadn't thought of her for a moment.
After all, once they learned about Jiang Xinya's situation, the first people they would think of were those with interests in Jiang Xinya's magazine. Getting those people to reveal what Jiang Xinya had done would minimize the chances of Jiang Xinya or the magazine's higher-ups suspecting anything related to them.
Since Ye Qing is also part of the fashion industry, she will inevitably have to collaborate with magazines in the future, so she naturally doesn't want anyone to find any fault with her.
Moreover, it's something that involves getting involved in someone else's company's internal affairs, so it's best to avoid it if possible.
Although Ye Qing hadn't initially thought of Jiang Xinya's stepmother, after Ye Shuang mentioned it, he thought about it and felt that she was a suitable candidate.
However, Ye Qing felt that although he now had leverage over Jiang Xinya's stepmother Yuwen Yan, it was hard to say what kind of person that woman was. So it was not appropriate to use Yuwen Yan so rashly.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Qing asked Ye Shuang, "What do you want to say to Yuwen Yan? Although I've never met Jiang Xinya's stepmother, her actions make it hard to trust her. So, I think it's best to keep some things from her if possible. To be frank, I'm not a good person. You know that when I offered her shares, it was purely to use her because she had some value."
Nodding, Ye Shuang said, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not the Ye Shuang I used to be."
To be honest, if Ye Shuang were given a chance to start over, even if she had to go back to the past and return to the time when she and Ye Qing were at each other's throats, Ye Shuang thought that even if she foresaw that her relationship with Ye Qing would improve in the future, she would still treat Ye Qing the same way she did before.
Because the Ye Qing of the past would not have said, "I'm not a good person," like she does now.
Although Ye Shuang felt that Ye Qing was much better than herself.
But sometimes it's just a matter of attitude. Ye Qing's attitude now makes Ye Shuang less jealous.
Of course, Ye Shuang knew that she had problems, but that's how people are; when they're blinded by jealousy, they can't see the good in others.
Ye Qing had no idea what Ye Shuang was thinking, but since Ye Shuang had already said that, Ye Qing naturally wouldn't say anything more. She thought that Ye Shuang was not young anymore, and she must feel uncomfortable having to listen to others tell her how to do things.
It has to be said that Ye Shuang is now truly decisive and efficient.
Although Ye Qing doesn't work much anymore, she still knows some things about the industry. Moreover, she keeps in touch with her colleagues at the studio, so she naturally knows some things.
Jiang Xinya was investigated by the magazine, and it was confirmed that she had received kickbacks from advertising clients.
When you're out in the world, there are many gray areas and unspoken rules, such as the practice of salespeople taking kickbacks.
Some of the sales staff in the magazine's advertising department definitely take kickbacks, though not all of them.
So if Jiang Xinya only took a token amount, and it wasn't too serious, then it would actually be fine.
However, Jiang Xinya was different from others. She was a tool in the power struggles among the magazine's upper management, and was someone who could be used against people at any time.
Jiang Xinya may not be unaware of her situation, but she still did things she shouldn't have done. How could the magazine possibly turn a blind eye?
So Jiang Xinya didn't resign this time, she was fired.
If it were just dismissal, that would be one thing, but the magazine also had conditions. They said that because Jiang Xinya had ruined the relationship between the magazine and its major client, in order to repair the relationship, Jiang Xinya needed to return all the money she had taken from the client.
Jiang Xinya was angry but could accept being fired. However, she never expected to be asked to repay the money. This completely panicked her.
Because that amount of money was not small, Jiang Xinya simply couldn't come up with it. Moreover, the money she had taken from the clients hadn't reached Jiang Xinya's hands; it had all been given to Yang Zi.
The magazine's message was that if Jiang Xinya didn't return the money, they would sue her.
Whether Jiang Xinya is capable of being the editor-in-chief is debatable. After all, she is a college student; otherwise, she wouldn't have had a chance to become the editor-in-chief in the first place.
So since she's educated, she knows that if the magazine really calls the police, she'll be in big trouble, and might even end up in jail.
So Jiang Xinya quickly went to find Yang Zi and asked her for money.
Yang Zi schemed for so long and finally got the money from Jiang Xinya. How could she possibly return it now?
Moreover, Yang Zi's son's matter is not over yet. Her son still owes a huge sum of money. Yang Zi has no money to give Jiang Xinya, let alone any money she has. Even if she had money, it would be hers to keep. How could she possibly pay it back to Jiang Xinya?
More importantly, in Yang Zi's view, when she and Jiang Xinya collaborated, they agreed that it would be a mutually beneficial arrangement. Otherwise, why would Yang Zi help Jiang Xinya with her strategies for free?
Although Yang Zi's advice to Jiang Xinya didn't seem to help Jiang Xinya much, Yang Zi believed that she had at least put in the effort, so it was only right that she received some compensation.
When Jiang Xinya saw that Yang Zi was starting to act shamelessly, she was furious, but she also knew that she couldn't get the money out of Yang Zi quickly.
She could go home and ask her father for money, but Jiang Xinya also knew that her stepmother had recently been urging her father to make a will. If Jiang Xinya went back to ask her father for money at this time, she knew that her stepmother, Yuwen Yan, would definitely not let her receive a single penny of the inheritance.
In order to get a bigger share from her father in the future, Jiang Xinya did not go back to find him, but the money still had to be repaid.
So she found Li Yeming.
Li Yeming had no money, but after hearing Jiang Xinya's story, the already indecisive Li Yeming instantly softened and felt that Jiang Xinya was truly pitiful.
Jiang Xinya knew how to soften Li Yeming's heart, so she kept calling him "Auntie," and Li Yeming immediately felt that he had to help Jiang Xinya with this matter.
But she didn't have the money, so in the end Li Yeming still went to Ye Qing.
When Xi Yue called Ye Qing this time, Ye Qing answered the phone. So, having already spoken to Xi Yue, Ye Qing guessed what Li Yeming meant when he called her again.
Even though she knew, Ye Qing still went to see Li Yeming.
