After listening to Yang Zi's explanation, Ye Qing finally understood that Yang Zi had planned this all along.
Although Yang Zi had planned it all out in advance, Ye Qing didn't think much of her schemes. After all, they weren't directed at Ye Qing. While Ye Qing wasn't malicious, she wasn't unprincipled in her kindness either. She didn't think about whether Yang Zi's actions were too harsh on Jiang Xinya or on Li Yeming.
Ye Qing knew that even if she softened her heart and showed kindness, Jiang Xinya and Li Yeming wouldn't necessarily be grateful to her.
That's why Ye Qing wouldn't think that much.
After listening to Yang Zi's explanation, Ye Qing could understand Yang Zi's thoughts and why she wanted revenge.
There was one thing Ye Qing didn't understand: "From what you've said, you've planned everything very well. I don't quite understand why you approached me in the first place to discuss cooperation."
Yang Zi initially approached Ye Qing hoping to work together to prevent Jiang Xinya from ever leaving the city. However, Ye Qing now feels that Yang Zi doesn't need anyone else to do anything; she can handle everything on her own.
Yang Zi didn't hide her thoughts: "Just like you think, I can keep Jiang Xinya from coming out myself, but I'm not only looking for Jiang Xinya, but more for myself. I told you before that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I still think that way now."
Ye Qing blinked, said nothing, and looked at Yang Zi with an attitude of being willing to hear more.
“I want to save my son. Putting everything else aside, my son owes so much money, I have to pay it back at least. I'm getting old, and starting all over again isn't impossible, but it's difficult. That's why I thought of cooperating with you. I heard that Zitai Fashion is planning to go public, and I hope I can take advantage of that. I don't plan to buy too many shares. After the IPO, I just need to sell them to pay back the money my son owes. The rest I'll use for my retirement.”
Yang Zi's words made Ye Qing feel as if she were seeing the image of a very simple mother.
It has to be said that Yang Zi is a very good person. There is nothing to criticize about her helping her son pay off his debts. Of course, the reason she went to such lengths to pay off the debts is because only in this way can she help her son.
However, Ye Qing did not immediately answer Yang Zi, since the current state of Yang Zi's son was related to Huang Yu, and was the result of a power struggle between Huang Yu and Yang Zi.
And Huang Yu and Huang Fei...
Ye Qing needs to figure out what Huang Fei really thinks of Huang Yu now. If he still has feelings for her, and if the two can really reconcile in the future...
Therefore, Ye Qing would definitely not take on Yang Zi's request.
She wouldn't side with Huang Yu, but she also wouldn't unconsciously help others hand Huang Yu a knife. After all, if Huang Fei decided to reconcile with Huang Yu, then Ye Qing and Huang Yu would be considered relatives.
If Huang Fei has truly let go of Huang Yu, then Ye Qing wouldn't rule out cooperating with Yang Zi. However, if they were to actually cooperate, they would need to think it over carefully.
Yang Zi had already retaliated against Jiang Xinya's grandmother in kind, and Ye Qing didn't believe that Yang Zi could simply ignore all the conflicts and grudges that had existed between them before.
So in either case, Ye Qing couldn't answer Yang Zi immediately. She only said, "We do have plans to launch Zitai Fashion, but we haven't done anything yet. It won't be launched anytime soon, and it's not that easy."
Yang Zi didn't reveal her ultimate goal earlier because she knew it would be difficult for Ye Qing, so even now that she's mentioned it, she's not immediately hoping to get a definite answer from Ye Qing.
If Ye Qing gives her an answer now, Yang Zi might not be at ease. Sometimes people are too calculating and actually worry about more things.
So even though she could tell that Ye Qing's words were polite or even perfunctory, Yang Zi didn't care. "Any other questions?"
This seems to have brought us back to the situation when they first met, with Yang Zi trying to take the initiative.
Ye Qing answered Yang Zi the same way she had at the beginning: "I said that if we cooperate, trust is the foundation. As long as you trust me and don't scheme against me, I will naturally trust you too."
If you listen carefully, Ye Qing's words meant that as long as Yang Zi wasn't lying to her, she had nothing to ask. After all, they hadn't started working together yet, and Ye Qing had also changed her way of addressing Yang Zi to "Sister Yang."
These words were tantamount to answering Yang Zi's question, but they did not avoid the situation that made him seem somewhat passive. Instead, his words implied that he did not believe Yang Zi.
Yang Zi could tell, of course, but she wouldn't say anything now.
Although Yang Zi felt she had done enough in the matter of Jiang Xinya and that Jiang Xinya was out of the running, she did have some ulterior motives in launching the Zitai fashion line. Therefore, Yang Zi would certainly not immediately refute Ye Qing or express her dissatisfaction.
Even if she has grievances, Yang Zi will express them after the matter has settled down and there are no longer any conflicts of interest between her and Ye Qing.
Yang Zi would definitely not let things get any worse now.
Ye Qing's meeting with Yang Zi was originally impromptu, and now that he had asked what he needed to know, Yang Zi left first.
It was getting late, and Ye Qing was getting ready to go back. Although Xi Yike relied on formula for food and there were people at home to take care of the child, it didn't seem to make much of a difference whether Ye Qing went back or not.
However, ever since the baby was brought back from the neonatal intensive care unit, Ye Qing has been with Xi Yike almost every day, so she was still a little worried about being out for such a short time.
After all, Aunt Zhang had never taken care of Xi Yike before, so it was uncertain whether she could handle Xi Yike's temperament well.
So Yang Zi had just left when Ye Qing paid the bill and left as well.
Although the weather was cold, it was almost Chinese New Year, and the streets were crowded. The coffee shop that Ye Qing chose to talk to Yang Zi was in the middle of the city, at a crossroads. Across the street was a newly opened electronics store, and its advertisements had been running on the local TV station in the south of the city for a long time in order to boost sales in the days leading up to the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, they installed a large screen in front of the mall, which was still quite luxurious at the time, and advertisements and the like played on a loop.
Whether it was effective or not, Ye Qing couldn't see the other people's data and didn't know, but at least it was lively.
Just like now, Ye Qing is waiting to cross the street. He can see the program playing on the big screen across the street. It has switched to the local channel in the south of the city and is showing entertainment news. It looks like a rerun.
Ye Qing couldn't really hear what the news was saying, since it was too noisy on the street, so she just glanced at the big screen and then stopped paying attention.
After all, this kind of so-called outdoor advertising was just emerging at that time, and the quality of the screens was not good, making people's eyes hurt when they looked at them.
The red light turned green, and Ye Qing was about to cross the road with the crowd when she glanced up and saw a familiar face on the big screen. Ye Qing stopped in her tracks.
