Ye Qing was quite surprised when she heard what Li Yeming said. She couldn't understand what Yang Zi meant either, so her tone wasn't very calm when she called Yang Zi.
But to say that Ye Qing was angry, that's really not true. In fact, to be honest, compared to Li Yeming, Ye Qing sometimes prefers to deal with people like Yang Zi.
Ye Qing felt a subtle excitement when dealing with Yang Zi, as it felt like meeting a worthy opponent.
Although the two are rivals, sparring with an opponent is not just a hostile exchange; you can also learn something from it.
Although Yang Zi is no longer the owner of Zitai Fashion, she founded it back then, and it was once the leading enterprise in Nancheng, unmatched by anyone.
Later, the fashion trend gradually declined, but there were many reasons for this.
Yang Zi still has many commendable qualities.
So this time, Yang Zi not only contacted him, but also Li Yeming. Ye Qing was just surprised, and didn't really feel angry.
While waiting for Yang Zi to arrive, Ye Qing tried to analyze why Yang Zi was acting this way, but before he could figure it out, Yang Zi arrived.
Although it was a coffee shop, Yang Zi didn't order coffee. Instead, she asked for a glass of water to send the waiter away, and then looked at Ye Qing: "What do you want to know?"
Listening to Yang Zi's words, Ye Qing knew that if she followed Yang Zi's advice, Yang Zi would gain the upper hand, and she would be at a disadvantage.
It wouldn't be good for Ye Qing to be passive without knowing Yang Zi's true intentions. Moreover, things are different now than when Yang Zi came to him before. Back then, Ye Qing didn't care much about being proactive or passive, but things are different now.
So Ye Qing swallowed the words that were about to come out, and what came out was: "I think the foundation of cooperation is trust. Although there is almost no trust between us, you were the one who approached me first to express your willingness to cooperate, so don't you have anything to say to me now?"
Because Ye Qing had mentioned on the phone that she had just come from Li Yeming's studio, Yang Zi knew, even though it wasn't explicitly stated, that Ye Qing already knew she had also contacted Li Yeming.
So Ye Qing's question was actually asking Yang Zi what she and Li Yeming had talked about.
However, Ye Qing's words had slightly changed in terms of subject, verb, object, and tone, completely altering the dynamics of their active and passive roles.
Yang Zi narrowed her eyes and chuckled softly: "Ye Qing, you're still so shrewd, unwilling to suffer any loss. Even though it's the same meaning, you insist on finding ways to make me speak first."
Because Ye Qing didn't have breast milk, Xi Yike had always been fed formula, so Ye Qing didn't have any dietary restrictions. She ordered coffee.
After hearing Yang Zi's words, Ye Qing picked up her coffee and took a small sip. She remained noncommittal about Yang Zi's words, then raised an eyebrow after putting down her coffee cup, as if to say, "Is it not allowed?"
Yang Zi smiled. Although she couldn't say she liked Ye Qing, she had never denied that Ye Qing was a smart person; she just hadn't said it aloud.
Just as Ye Qing enjoys interacting with Yang Zi, Yang Zi also enjoys interacting with intelligent people.
Moreover, since Yang Zi took the initiative to contact Ye Qing, she must have thought everything through and temporarily put aside her grudges with Ye Qing.
Therefore, Ye Qing's current attitude is not unacceptable to Yang Zi.
With a light laugh, Yang Zi said, "Actually, my looking for Li Yeming and looking for you are not mutually exclusive. I told you that my purpose is to prevent Jiang Xinya from getting out of there. The money she took from the advertising clients was all at my instigation, and in the end, the money all went into my pocket. You should know why I'm doing this: because of my son. So I definitely don't want Jiang Xinya to come out and cause me trouble. Otherwise, I'll be trying to save my son while also dealing with her, which would be too much trouble."
Ye Qing narrowed her eyes: "Did you really promise Li Yeming that she could cooperate with the luxury group that Jiang Xinya works for, just to relay a message on behalf of Jiang Xinya's grandmother?"
Yang Zi laughed heartily: "I do know Jiang Xinya's grandmother, but it's been so many years. Even if she remembers me, she might not be willing to see me. So what I told Li Yeming was just to coax him. You know how easy it is to fool Li Yeming."
"Aren't you afraid of people finding out? Like Li Yeming? Like Jiang Xinya or Jiang Xinya's grandmother?" Ye Qing asked.
"If Li Yeming knows, so be it. I'm not afraid of her. She can't think that far ahead. I don't know how you knew I went to see Li Yeming, but I think if you hadn't reminded Li Yeming something, she probably would never have thought there was anything wrong with what I promised her."
As for Jiang Xinya, my goal is to keep her from ever coming out, so what am I afraid of?
As for Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother..."
At this point, Yang Zi paused, gave a cold laugh, rubbed her water glass with both hands, and said gloomily, "So what if she knows? As long as Jiang Xinya is convicted, she can dream of inheriting the property!"
Her stepchildren were already resentful of her being a foreigner, and they didn't want their father's vast fortune to go to an old woman who didn't have much time left. Once Jiang Xinya's affair was confirmed, the old woman would be torn apart by her foreign stepchildren. Whether she ended up with nothing, I don't know, but she certainly wouldn't have any family left! She'd probably die alone.
After staring at Yang Zi for a long time, Ye Qing judged that Yang Zi's emotions were genuine, and thus she came to the conclusion: "You have a lot of hostility towards that old lady."
Yang Zi had already composed herself and did not deny it: "Indeed, there was a great deal of hostility."
Ye Qing was extremely curious and wanted to ask what had happened.
However, seeing Yang Zi deep in thought and looking very distressed, and feeling that it was inappropriate for him to be so eager to seek out gossip at this moment, he remained silent and waited for Yang Zi to calm down.
"Don't you want to ask me why?" Yang Zi didn't hear Ye Qing's question but was very curious and asked Ye Qing instead.
Ye Qing said, "I'm curious, but I still think it's better for you to say some things yourself. After all, you and Li Yeming are fellow disciples, and Li Yeming and the old lady have that kind of relationship. As Li Yeming's father's disciple, it's normal for you to have some thoughts about this."
Yang Zi chuckled self-deprecatingly and looked at Ye Qing: "Do you think I'm a complete idiot for founding Zitai Fashion?"
Ye Qing replied without hesitation, "You're very capable. There are many reasons why Zitai Fashion declined, and you..."
Interrupting Ye Qing's words, Yang Zi said, "At first, I also thought that the decline of Zitai Fashion was my own problem, but later I realized that I did have some problems, but they were definitely not the key issue."
