When Li Yeming called Ye Qing again, he didn't expect it to be so difficult to borrow money from her.
Because in Li Yeming's mind, Ye Qing was not short of money. However, in the past, when he asked Ye Qing to do something, Ye Qing was not exactly obliging, but he was very easy to talk to.
That's why Li Yeming called Ye Qing even though he knew they hadn't discussed the contract termination with her yet.
Li Yeming was completely taken aback by Ye Qing's resolute attitude. Although he couldn't refute Ye Qing's "accusations" against him, as those words were true to some extent.
However, since Ye Qing was determined to terminate the contract, Li Yeming's slight guilty conscience regarding Ye Qing's "accusations" seemed utterly insignificant.
In terms of presence, Li Yeming was clearly far inferior to Ye Qing. Li Yeming deliberately straightened her back, hoping to conceal the signs of aging that were slowly appearing due to her age.
"Terminate the contract? Ye Qing, since you insist on going this far, then terminate the contract. But I absolutely must acquire the Jin brand." Li Yeming spoke to Ye Qing with a sense of utter exhaustion.
Ye Qing wanted to say that sometimes people's hearts just can't be warmed up.
It was clearly Li Yeming who brought up the contract termination issue first, but now it seems like it's Ye Qing's fault!
Although I'm upset, it would be good if I could take this opportunity to resolve this troublesome matter.
So Ye Qing wouldn't back down: "The trademark now belongs to Xi Yue. If you insist on taking the brand away, then go find a lawyer and take legal action. This isn't something we can just talk about and resolve."
“But Xi Yue will listen to you,” Li Yeming said.
Ye Qing remained noncommittal on the topic. "Sister Li, you're not just a designer anymore. You're also the one running and managing this studio. You should know what businessmen value: profit. The Jin brand isn't necessarily valuable now, but it's not worthless like it used to be. No matter how valuable the Jin brand is now, you have to admit that its current value is entirely due to my planning, but you didn't cherish it. When we registered the trademark, I repeatedly reminded you, and Xi Yue asked you about it time and time again, but you just didn't care."
"But……"
Ye Qing interrupted Li Yeming's explanation: "If I say any more, it will just be repeating the same old story. After all, we've talked about terminating the contract more than once."
Li Yeming not only returned empty-handed but also ended up with "nothing." Naturally, she was unwilling to accept this, and she also knew that continuing to discuss the trademark with Ye Qing would not yield any results.
But if she just lets Ye Qing go like that, without getting the money or anything, Jiang Xinya definitely won't let it go.
After a long internal struggle, Li Yeming hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Even if we terminate the contract, don't you want to pay a price?"
"We?" Ye Qing blinked and asked, "Who do you mean by 'we'?"
"Of course it's you and Zitai Fashion."
Li Yeming's matter-of-fact tone made Ye Qing laugh in anger: "I thought I made myself very clear before, but it seems that you don't remember what I told you before. In that case, I don't mind telling you again. The contract you signed was with Zitai Fashion, which has nothing to do with me. If you want to terminate the contract, you are terminating it with them. As for the price you mentioned, I understand that you should ask them to give you money? You are the one who unilaterally proposed to terminate the contract first. In this case, you are in breach of contract. It is already merciful of them not to make you pay a large amount of liquidated damages."
“But now it’s you who brought up terminating the contract again,” Li Yeming said slowly.
Ye Qing was slightly taken aback, wondering if Li Yeming had genuinely misunderstood her or was just pretending.
Regardless of the reason, Ye Qing knew that if she didn't explain things clearly to Li Yeming, she wouldn't let her leave.
So Ye Qing patiently said, "Now I'm the one telling you to terminate the contract, and it's just my personal suggestion. After all, when the contract was signed, I wasn't the contracting party."
After saying that, fearing that Li Yeming would continue to argue unreasonably, she said, "If you still have any questions, you can ask a lawyer."
Before Li Yeming could figure out what to ask Ye Qing next, Ye Qing had already left.
After realizing this, Li Yeming subconsciously stood up to chase after Ye Qing.
But Ye Qing had already left.
After finishing up all the miscellaneous tasks at the studio, Xi Yue went to find Ye Qing and asked him what to do next.
"Didn't she want to terminate the contract? Then let her terminate it." Ye Qing wasn't too worried; some things are actually better if they happen before the launch of Zitai Fashion.
Xi Yue goes to the studio every day now, so she spends more time with Li Yeming. She understands Li Yeming a little better than Ye Qing. Xi Yue said, "Sister Li just doesn't have her own ideas. She doesn't necessarily want to terminate the contract. And if she really terminates the contract, given Jiang Xinya's personality, she will definitely go and make a scene with Li Yeming. If she makes a scene with Li Yeming, she won't be able to handle it, so she will definitely come and make a scene with us."
Ye Qing may not be unaware of what Xi Yue was saying, but she herself couldn't think of a good solution. She asked Xi Yue, "Then what do you think we should do? This time, Sister Li asked me to borrow money. You know why she asked for money. Actually, if Sister Li herself needed the money, although I have some opinions about some of her actions, we've been cooperating for so long, and I should help her if I can. But this money is for Jiang Xinya, and I'm not that generous, so I definitely won't lend her the money."
Xi Yue thought to herself, if she couldn't borrow the money, Jiang Xinya would definitely continue to cause trouble.
Even if Xi Yue didn't say it, Ye Qing already knew.
However, the key issue right now is that there really isn't a good solution, so let's just leave it at that for now.
When Jiang Xinya learned that Li Yeming not only failed to borrow money, but was also in danger of losing his shop, she was furious. She vented her anger on Li Yeming and then left.
She felt she had no other options, but the magazine was pressuring her for money, so Jiang Xinya went to find Yang Zi again after much deliberation.
Yang Zi listened to Jiang Xinya's rambling for a long time, then gave a contemptuous sneer.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Xinya was also very angry with Yang Zi, but since she had no one else to talk to, she had no choice but to go to Yang Zi.
"I laugh at your naivety. You actually pin your hopes on Li Yeming. If it weren't for the ancestral skills, Li Yeming wouldn't be alive today. Although I dislike Ye Qing very much, I have to say that if Ye Qing hadn't been kind to Li Yeming back then and helped him out, do you think Li Yeming would be where he is today? Keep dreaming."
Jiang Xinya was impatient with Yang Zi's words and said, "Stop talking nonsense and give me back my money."
