Ye Qing waited for Xi Quan to continue, "Go on."
"Although he is a qualified professional manager, Xu Xiaoyue is a celebrity, and her private affairs may affect her work. Although the news about Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law relationship has not been as sensational since the Chinese New Year, everyone still knows about it. Have you ever wondered why Taizi Fashion is going public at this critical juncture?"
Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan with great confusion: "Didn't you say before that you had already started talking to the investment banks about this matter? And that starting to prepare for the listing now was just a matter of following the established procedures?"
These were the words Xi Quan said before. Although they may not be exactly the same as what Xi Quan said, the general meaning is as follows.
Therefore, Ye Qing was quite surprised and did not understand why Xi Quan asked her this question.
Xi Quan noticed Ye Qing's confusion and, without keeping her in suspense, told her directly, "It was indeed done step by step, and it was indeed something that had been agreed upon beforehand, but there was also an element of deliberate intent involved."
Ye Qing was even more confused: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, we're not afraid of Liu Yuliang's mother causing trouble now. The bigger the trouble, the better. Then we can use his personal affairs affecting the listing as a reason to force him to leave Zitai Fashion. Even if Liu Yuliang feels unwilling, there's nothing he can do, and he won't hold it against Xu Xiaoyue."
"You've wanted Liu Yuliang to leave Zitai Fashion for a long time, haven't you?" Ye Qing suddenly realized.
Seeing Ye Qing's somewhat excited expression, Xi Quan shook his head: "I can't say that I had this idea a long time ago, but it's just to prevent things from happening in the first place. Before, Yang Zi brought Jiang Xinya to Zitai Fashion to cause trouble. At that time, she also used Liu Yuliang's mother. Although the matter was resolved later, I also started to think about it seriously."
"How so?" Ye Qing felt that although he might be very capable in the eyes of others, compared with Xi Quan, Ye Qing felt that his own abilities or methods were really not worth mentioning.
Although he hadn't heard Xi Quan say anything more, Ye Qing already felt inferior to him based on just these few words.
"At that time, Liu Yuliang was too decisive and did not hesitate at all. Although the contract was real at that time, he was facing his own mother after all. He took the initiative and did not give her any face at all, and directly stated the result."
"But didn't you intend to do that back then?" Ye Qing remembered that Xi Quan had also talked to her about the contract.
Xi Quan said, "I did tell you at the time, but my thinking was that since there was a contract, if Yang Zi or Jiang Xinya went too far, I would talk to them about the contract or have a lawyer talk to them. I didn't think of having Liu Yuliang talk to her. After all, logically speaking, she is his mother, and the contractual constraints would be a bit awkward for Liu Yuliang. Most people wouldn't say it directly, but he did. You could say he was ruthless, but it also showed his ambition. As a professional manager, professional ability and loyalty are more important. Ambition can easily become a hidden danger."
Because he feared that all of that would become a hidden danger, Xi Quan began to slowly look for opportunities from that time onwards.
Even though Zitai Fashion no longer belongs to Xi Quan, it won't have a significant impact on him. After all, Zitai Fashion isn't Xi Quan's main business; it's more of a gift he gave to Ye Qing.
Since it's a gift, Xi Quan naturally doesn't want it to be taken away by someone else. Even if the Zitai Fashion doesn't make money, it's better to just leave it as is than for it to belong to someone else, especially since that person might be Liu Yuliang. Xi Quan would absolutely not agree to that.
Moreover, because of Xu Xiaoyue, Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing had been feeling guilty after Xu Xiaoyue's marriage ran into problems, because she felt that the reason Xu Xiaoyue was with Liu Yuliang was because she had asked Liu Yuliang to manage Qingye Studio.
So Xi Quan didn't want to put Ye Qing in a difficult position, so he came up with this solution.
It has to be said that Xi Quan truly understands Ye Qing and knows what Ye Qing is struggling with.
Seeing that Ye Qing seemed to have figured it out, Xi Quan said, "Although now is not a good time for Taizi Fashion to go public, Liu Yuliang wants to seize this opportunity. As Xu Xiaoyue's husband, in the news, he seems to rely on Xu Xiaoyue for everything. If he becomes the general manager of a listed company, it will at least sound much better than it does now."
Now that Xi Quan had considered everything, Ye Qing felt relieved.
It has to be said that having a capable husband by your side is a very reassuring thing.
Because of her upbringing and background, Ye Qing had always lacked a sense of security, but she found it in Xi Quan.
Although Ye Qing was still worried about Xu Xiaoyue's situation, he knew that it couldn't be rushed, because there was nothing he could do, since strictly speaking, it was Xu Xiaoyue's private matter.
So now that Xi Quan has taken a comprehensive approach, Ye Qing can just wait and see.
Now that she has a nanny, Ye Qing can go to work with peace of mind. Although, strictly speaking, even during her pregnancy and childbirth, Ye Qing didn't actually rest for very long.
Generally speaking, maternity leave is half a month, three months before delivery, and three months after delivery.
Of course, Ye Qing herself is the boss, so she's not that strict, but she's not in such a hurry to go to work either. Ye Qing can't stand being idle. After all, she's come from a tough background, and she can't live a particularly comfortable life. Even now, even if Ye Qing doesn't go to work, she can support herself and even her child. But Ye Qing just can't stand being idle.
Back at the studio, Ye Qing's colleagues were overjoyed to see her. Besides the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the most important thing was that it was just after the New Year, and Ye Qing, as the boss, had prepared red envelopes for everyone to start the new year.
After the excitement of sending out red envelopes subsided, everyone went back to their busy lives.
They're all designers, and specifically fashion designers. Even though it's just after the New Year, they're already busy. Although the weather is still cold, spring clothes are already on the market, and they're even starting to prepare summer clothes, so they're never idle.
Ye Qing got busy, but just as she sat down and before she had even tidied her desk, the phone rang. It was Li Yeming calling to ask her to meet.
Ye Qing didn't really want to go, but later Xi Yue called Ye Qing again, saying that when she was talking to Li Yeming about splitting up the studio, Li Yeming insisted on talking to her as well.
I'm puzzled. The matter of splitting up the studio is purely a matter between Xi Yue and Li Yeming, so why did they come to me?
Moreover, Ye Qing could tell that Xi Yue was very dedicated to her work, so Ye Qing wasn't keen on going. Xi Yue probably sensed Ye Qing's hesitation over the phone and said, "You should still come over and see what's going on. The sooner the studio split is resolved, the sooner we can do other things. The spring clothes are already on the market, but Sister Li, as the studio's main designer, hasn't even drawn up any design drafts yet. She has a lot of messy things going on every day. Even if the studio has Zitai Fashion covering for it, so it won't collapse for the time being, it can't just be so unambitious."
