"Alright then, I'll wait a little while."
Ye Qing still didn't mind Li Yeming's condescending tone on the phone. After hanging up, she walked out and happened to see Xi Yue looking in her direction. Ye Qing took the opportunity to wink at Xi Yue and mouthed that she was leaving first. Xi Yue nodded to indicate that she understood.
Since Ye Qing was already an acquaintance of the people at Li Yeming's studio, she went directly to Li Yeming's office after arriving.
Li Yeming seemed particularly busy, and deliberately looked up from a pile of drawings to glance at Ye Qing, giving her a look that said, "I'm very busy, you better speak up quickly," as if to say, "Be sensible, say what you have to say quickly."
Lowering her eyes, Ye Qing chuckled softly, "Sister Li, I heard you've been very busy lately. It seems you're going to collaborate with a famous fashion group. Congratulations!"
On the way here, Ye Qing was wondering how to bring up Li Yeming, but after seeing her, she was surprised by her attitude. Ye Qing thought about it and decided to just ask directly instead of beating around the bush. This would save her from being too subtle and not knowing what she meant. Besides, people tend to get carried away when they are feeling good.
Just as Ye Qing had expected, Li Yeming was taken aback for a moment upon hearing Ye Qing's words, then became very smug: "You know? Who told you? Xi Yue?"
It sounded like she was talking to herself. After she finished speaking, without waiting for Ye Qing's reply, she continued, "Did Xi Yue tell you that?"
Ye Qing was about to shake her head and say no, but she was a little slow. Li Yeming denied the answer again: "It shouldn't be her. She's been talking to me about splitting up the studio recently, and she hasn't mentioned this. Judging from her expression, she probably doesn't know anything about it. I told you, Xi Yue is just a rich girl. She can't design, and she can't manage a business at all, but she insists on pretending to know a lot."
At this point, Li Yeming shook his head, looking helpless and unable to understand.
Before this, Ye Qing always felt that Li Yeming was always unreliable and a bit indecisive, so he was not suitable to be a partner, but it was okay to visit each other as ordinary friends.
However, I never expected her to treat Xi Yue this way.
Ye Qing almost laughed when she heard this. Xi Yue may not have been focusing on her career before, and even though she is now, she is not yet very proficient.
However, it wasn't as bad as Li Yeming described.
To be honest, Li Yeming isn't that amazing. Her craftsmanship has remained consistent for decades. It's not necessarily that her skills are exceptional, but because there are fewer people like her now who engage in traditional handmade clothing, there's no way to compare them.
If there were many, Li Yeming really couldn't remember how powerful she was. Moreover, the reason she was where she was now was because although her father had passed away, he was still a leading figure.
Moreover, since Yang Zi is no longer in the traditional clothing industry, Li Yeming benefited from her father's influence. After all, there are still people who value these things, so Li Yeming won't starve to death.
However, that only applies to herself. She is not even capable of running a studio well, otherwise she would not have sought out Ye Qing in the first place, which led to the signing of the studio and Zitai Fashion.
So, let's not say that Xi Yue's abilities are really that bad compared to Li Yeming's. Even if Xi Yue were just as incompetent as Li Yeming, they would be about the same. How could Li Yeming have the audacity to speak of Xi Yue like that?
Is it just because of their age?
That's really laughable.
Ye Qing gradually composed herself. "Whether Xi Yue is good at business management or not needs to be tested through long-term practice. But one thing is very clear: Xi Yue isn't that stupid, but Sister Li, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yeming, who had been incredibly busy just moments before, abruptly slammed down his pen, slammed his hands on the table, and stood up, glaring angrily at Ye Qing: "How dare you talk to me like that? I know you and Xi Yue are related, but Ye Qing, I'm not exactly young anymore. It's not appropriate for you to talk to me like that."
Li Yeming stood up, but Ye Qing slowly sat down. She narrowed her eyes and then said calmly, "You are indeed not young. If we just consider your age, you are old enough to be my mother. But whether a person is smart or not is not determined by their age."
"you……"
Just now, Li Yeming kept interrupting Ye Qing, but now Ye Qing wasn't giving Li Yeming a chance to speak: "You're able to connect with people from a world-renowned fashion group because of Jiang Xinya's grandmother, right?"
"You know it, why are you asking?" Li Yeming was angry, but when she heard Ye Qing say this, she wasn't angry anymore. She felt that since Ye Qing knew everything, he should at least show some restraint, if not flatter her.
Ye Qing laughed: "You should know that if Jiang Xinya hadn't gotten into trouble this time, Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother would never have acknowledged her. Since that old lady is willing to disown even Jiang Xinya, who is related to her by blood, for the sake of the inheritance, do you think she would want to have any contact with you? Moreover, you should also know that if that old lady had any sense of reason and considered her relationship with Jiang Xinya, Jiang Xinya wouldn't have been so desperate as to borrow money from you to pay back the magazine."
Hearing Ye Qing say this, Li Yeming became visibly nervous. She swallowed hard, her fingers, which were still on the table, slowly curled up and then clenched. She then slowly sat down, blinked, and looked at Ye Qing: "I know what you're saying, but now that Jiang Xinya is in trouble, she wants to help Jiang Xinya and wants to hear if I can help resolve Jiang Xinya's problem."
"So she came directly to you?" Ye Qing lowered his head to hide his emotions and asked calmly, "That's why people who do great things are so adaptable. The gossip I heard is that the affair between Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother and your father was very embarrassing, or rather, your mother made Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother very embarrassed. Otherwise, Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother wouldn't have gone abroad directly, and she wouldn't have even cared about Jiang Xinya's biological mother, your half-sister."
Ye Qing shook his head, mimicking Li Yeming's earlier manner of speaking: "So you see, you can't really compare people. If it were me, I couldn't do that."
There's a saying: "What is said unintentionally may be taken to heart by the listener."
Li Yeming isn't the kind of person who thinks that much. If he were, Xi Yue wouldn't have been the original owner of the "Jin" trademark.
However, as long as someone points it out or reminds him, Li Yeming can still think of many things.
Moreover, Ye Qing had only heard about the affair between Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother and Li Yeming's father, but Li Yeming had experienced it firsthand. In fact, the reason why Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother went abroad was because Li Yeming's mother forced her to leave. To this day, Li Yeming can still remember the resolute words Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother said after leaving the Li family.
